Have become quite critical of Macron lately. But for the EU's sole nuclear power this is an important response.

This should not be happening to peaceful protesters highlighting the genocide that Starmer & his puppets have been told to ignore. The day of reckoning for these enablers is well overdue.
Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Reform politicians double down on their racism because they’re proudly racist.
Farage won’t apologise for his or his party’s racism because he needs his racist voters on side.
Reform is racist. Farage is racist.
Don’t call for apologies. Call them what they are.

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up.
A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

Reform tried to dismiss questions on Farage’s racism, saying they should be asked about the ‘substance’ of their policies instead.
Unsurprisingly, their policies are shit too.

Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.

Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

It’s high time that the Secretary of State model is abolished, I can’t remember the last time the role was carried out as it should (Wales voice in the cabinet).

Instead it’s always the UKGov’s voice in Wales, often enforcing political shithousery on Wales.

Scrap it.

Farage the politician *is* Farage the schoolboy losing his shit over seeing the name ‘Patel’ on the school roll and telling black pupils to go back to Africa. There’s really no difference. Except now he wants (and may be bought) the power to deport those people.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

Our media has become the story. What they decide is newsworthy, what they scream about, who they accuse, who they excuse, who they blame…

They have an agenda entirely of their own. Not one rooted in public interest or national responsibility. But one that is deeply rightwing and undemocratic.
I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist

Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill

Or about who bought his house in Frinton
