Perhaps it’s time to remind the voters that not all MPs are making millions out of the job despite what they might believe.

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Many of us have been very critical of Starmer & his pandering to Reform but he finally, very late, said what most of the decent people in this country are thinking.

I'll always compromise and take even a soulless Labour over the politics of hate from Reform (or even what's left of the Tories).

Adam Schwarz @adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 10d

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!

"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

The £1m man: Why did Boris Johnson take his donor to Ukraine?

Exclusive: Leaked files offer a glimpse of the ex-prime minister’s relationship with Christopher Harborne As he boarded the night train to Ukraine, Boris Johnson had the usual entourage of aides and bodyguards – plus the man who had given him £1m. Less than a year had passed since Johnson accepted what is thought to be the largest donation ever to an individual MP. It was from Christopher Harborne, one of the UK’s biggest and most private political donors. Continue reading...

Best for Britain @bestforbritain.org · 19h

New polling by YouGov, commissioned by Best for Britain, shows: 46% of potential Conservative voters consider Brexit a failure.

Of those voters, 51% say that Brexit has damaged the economy, and 50% say it has damaged our ability to trade with the EU.

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
