I’ve got no time whatsoever for Tony Blair but the BBC scraping the bottom of the barrel for knocking copy on the LP is so on message for them. Compare this with the absolute silence over the relationship between Nathan Gill and Farage.

Tony Blair met Jeffrey Epstein while prime minister

The ex-PM confirms he met Epstein in 2002, six years before the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

I've been sounding the alarm about Fetterman for a long time. Prof. Ealy takes all the information and serves it up not only with prime snark, but makes it make sense.

Pennsylvania Deserves Better — And It’s Not Too Late to Demand I

How John Fetterman went from working-class hero to absentee senator—and why Pennsylvania shouldn’t settle for excuses.

Saw this years ago. Perfect for today as it really addresses what is going on today.

And as for Trump supporters -

"They gambled with other people's liberties and, of course, lost their own."

- many are having a rude awakening.

I'd argue that the current billionaires create nothing and absolutely need a workforce (even with AI) to make their money. Maybe the workers need to escape to a place where people work hard, benefit from their labors proportionally, and billionaires are left asking where tf everyone is.

Good question! Big money presumably wins over principles, especially when it comes to the ever widening gap between billionaires & the rest of us. We are nothing to them, just inconvenient flies to squash. :(

No surprise from the man who sold his country down the river just to become PM - a corrupt, useless, self serving lying one at that

Johnson secretly lobbied the UAE for a billion-dollar private venture, amid plans to use an influential contact & senior contacts in the Saudi gov he met as PM

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office, watchdog finds

Johnson found to have breached rules after refusing to answer specific questions about allegations published by the Guardian

In the Trumpian world, any criticism is viewed as criminal & it includes respected Republicans. As for so-called law & order, it is now run by a Trumpian mafia,presumably with Putin's assistance & blessing.
