So they’re nowhere to be seen in Trump’s‘war zone’…

Are the Media, I mean the proper media – not Fox Shit, doing anything to debunk these blatant lies from the Trump administration? They're collaborating with fascism if they're not.

Trump does not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and shouldn't do so. Watch the reaction of the narcissistic psychopath when he hears he hasn't...

Would Farage really want to take such a massive pay cut to be PM? Or would he just carry on with the side hustles, but charge more?

www.theguardian.com/business/202... What is it with Labour? Blair's idea to boost the economy was to encourage gambling; now Stupid Starmer wants to encourage drinking to help the hospitality sector. If he really wants to help he should reverse the swingeing increase in employer NIC.

Looks like Polanski is eating Starmer’s lunch – with Corbyn/Sultana as dessert.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

I maintain that he is also stupid (and stubborn) because he refuses to acknowledge that the real problem facing his voters is the cost of living crisis – not small boats, not fucking flags.

Trump is trying to provoke protests in Chicago etc so that he can claim they’re lawless – and send in more troops to deliberately make things worse. Catch 23?

'one MP described the announcement as a “shitshow” which had only hardened opposition to the policy.'

The Starmer Regime supplies a case study in its deep-seated authoritarian proclivities, political ineptitude and ideological bankruptcy.

Hello. Central Casting? We need someone to portray an evil scheming little worm. Have anyone? Miller, you say? Yes, he’ll be perfect for the role.

Presumably antifa is as old as fa. So yes, just over 100 years.

And not just Badenoch… Starmer’s refusal to countenance rejoining shows just how deep he is in hock to malign corporate interests. #corruption

The clearest admission yet that the Trump government is outright fascist: if you’re anti anti fascist, then you are pro fascist. QED.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... Chakrabortty is spot-on as usual. Given the choice between solving the cost of living crisis and sucking up to the corporates, Stupid Starmer and his cabal always seem to choose the corporates. This will be the end of Labour, and possibly the end of democracy.

Worried about rising bills and getting by? Keir Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag! | Aditya Chakrabortty

The PM wants to talk about patriotism when the issue that is really affecting people is the cost of living. If he doesn’t wise up, that dissonance will sink him, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrab...

When you’re in a hole, like Starmer is over Palestine Action, the stupid response is to dig even harder. Starmer is stupid.

Good to see the Tories still have their priorities right – white wine should always be chilled; toxic politicians should be frozen.

That's hardly surprising. Only a fool or a fascist would knowingly back leaving the ECHR.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
