I’ve no doubt Farage and Reform are in hock to Putin. But it’s nothing compared to his links to American fascism. He will sell us out to Trump-backing US oligarchs within hours of becoming PM. He is the biggest threat to British freedoms and sovereignty we face.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Once you realise that Westminster has moved so far to the right that the Tories/Reform are the new BNP, and Labour are the new Tories, there’s only one option for those on the left. (The LDs are still the LDs - ineffectual centrists! Your Party, a future answer to an obscure pub quiz question.)

One thing the morons around Trump haven’t factored in: if you create a dictatorship, there’s generally only one way for the people to eject you, as Mussolini, Ceausescu and many others discovered. Trump thinks he’s getting absolute power but he could just as well get something very different.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Another crash may be coming. The far right are very well-placed to take advantage of the resulting chaos. The left needs to be ready with a powerful alternative narrative that shifts discourse towards equality and social justice rather than racist scapegoating. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

Why does Starmer have such difficulty simply calling out racism when he sees it? Unlike him, I think we need to take people like Jenrick very seriously and fight back against their toxic, dangerous politics. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The biggest threat to British sovereignty and ‘way of life’ comes not from the EU, Russia, or immigrants but from the US. It’s been buying up UK businesses. Flooding our culture with their media. And now interfering in our politics. Time to say: Yankee go home? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Investors turn to gold when they think the world is going to shit. And they are buying up as much as they can right now. A clear sign that big money has concluded that the far right clowns running the world are driving us towards a precipice.

Jenrick is basically spouting the same crap Enoch Powell puked up in 1968. The difference today is that it got Powell sacked whereas these days it’s seen as a serious bid for the party leadership. The Tories are arguably more racist today than 57 years ago! 😡 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Jenrick really believes this then maybe he should stop endorsing racist protests outside asylum hotels, stop encouraging flag-raising designed to intimidate people of colour, and stop spouting divisive, racist bullshit himself. Just a thought.

I’d like to think Jenrick using the Nazi term “New Order” to describe his vision for the future was just an oversight but I really wouldn’t be surprised if it was deliberate.
