“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

It is interesting that Jeremy Corbyn has been an MP for 42 years and led the opposition for 5 years.

He's been on Question Time once.

Nigel Farage, 44 times.

Our Media is corrupt, corrupt to the core.

Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

I’m just going to say as someone who lived in London for eleven years and is currently seriously considering going back precisely because of the far right theocratic fascism of Trump, that he’s talking out of his fucking asshole.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Sep 23

Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Today, Trump claimed not to know who Peter Mandleson is. An obvious & egregious lie but one which highlights why the regime is so keen to silence anyone telling the truth. On the current trajectory, he will soon be able to claim that he's never heard of Melania without any pushback at all.

Disappointed that this BBC news piece about Trump not wanting Mayor Sadiq Khan at the State Banquet doesn't once mention Khan's race or religion. If you leave out that Khan is a brown Muslim man, you gloss over why he's targeted by Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The mayor of London did not seek or expect an invite to the state banquet, the BBC understands.

In which the richest man in the world tries to incite turmoil, fear and loathing in my city from the safety of his fortified home thousands of miles away.

The pathetic little coward.

Also why are these patriots being directed by an American?

Can't they organise their own fist fight?

Poverty Is Driving Mental Illness Among the UK Young.

Low wages, high rents, cost of living, insecure jobs, debt, poor healthcare infrastructure leading to anxiety and illness.

Political parties obsessed with austerity, low wages, public service cuts; won't curb profiteering.

Futures blighted.

If you are a National Trust member and intend voting at this years AGM, beware who you vote for. The extreme 'Restore Trust ', funded by big oil, are still trying to infiltrate the board with their activist candidates. To be safe-choose the quick vote, NT recommended candidates.

Until you stop blaming all the people who don't have any money and start blaming the people who have stolen all the money, your country will never get better.

Reform isn’t a political party. It’s a corporate lobbying firm.

The business model is simple. Wealthy elites pay Farage to push policies that could make them millions.

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

The Mail is going to go full Farage. The Telegraph already has, to the absolute horror of the proper journalists still on the paper. Tony Gallagher at The Times is, as ever, waiting for Rupert Murdoch’s instructions. Their only alternative is to own the stupidity of backing Johnson, Brexit & Truss.

Rising inequality turning US into an autocratic state, billionaire warns.

All over the world the rich/corporations buy the political system with donations, get favours in return.

Nothing will change until political donations are criminalized, people take rights e.g. workers vote on exec pay.

I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens.
Britain has a serious far-right problem.
The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.
