I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Minnesota organizers confirm 50,000+ marched in Minneapolis amid brutally cold subzero temps around −20 °F. Protestors stood against impunity, ICE, and the Trump regime’s occupation.
They paid respects to Renee Good who was murdered and then publicly defamed by the regime. #3E

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge.
When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

Interesting Times article on the US approach re: Greenland.
It notes:
- Greenland isn’t even mentioned in the brand new US Security Strategy
- The US has few military resources geared to the Arctic
- Ending allied (NATO) arctic submarine-hunting would increase, not decrease military risk to 🇺🇸

Is Greenland really in danger of being overrun by Russia and China?
The US claims seizing the territory is vital for security but analysts say divisions with allies would make it less safe — and there is no immediate threat
