Sounds a lot like the UK Farage wants for us.
JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

Just catching up. Badenock's "no welfare state back in Roman times / the state could be seen to be anti Christian" is being understandably derided as a gaffe.. But actually I think this is a US Christo right push.. no empathy, no care for others. This is Vance and co thing..It's intentional.

While we are talking about alleged Russian money, lets not leave our Aaron Banks.. and the Tories who killed the investigations into him..
Here's UKIP's former Scottish leader David Coburn, who has denied taking Russian bribes after being named in Whatsapp messages between Nathan Gill and a pawn of the Putin administration, being applauded by Gill for arguing against Ukraine's entry to the EU

It's pretty fucking amazing isn't it, that the grifting thieves who broke us out of the EU so we could "make our own rules because sovrenty (sic))" are now screaming that everyone should leave for places like Dubai, because the UK is an awful place to be. The cynical, theiving, gymnastics of that.

Very fair points.
Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.
If only there were a word for such a party.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.
Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
America deserves better.

New threats from Trump:
The president just endorsed a post reading, "Go get all those traitorous sons of bitches for sedition at the very least. Those pompous traitorous communists should be impeached and prosecuted."

Note to UK MPs and media.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.
