Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.
He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?
The USA is a rogue nation.

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit?
That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further.
What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

This...they're weeding out the dissenters and those who might question orders...before they point the canon at us.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again.
Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime.
Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing.
All the war criminals must face justice.

Time and time again they [UK Government] have been asked by human rights experts, campaigners and Palestine’s international representatives to call what is happening in Gaza by its true name: genocide. They refuse to do even this, writes Patrick Harvie ✍️

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

The Brexit ref was the first salvo in Fascism's Russian led war to divide the West. It followed the same playbook we've seen in many countries since where a coalition of populists, racists, libertarians, conspiracy theorists and media convince a gullible nation to vote against its own best interests

Badenoch is a political opportunist, looking for easy scores, glib observations and sly put downs. Nothing in her past demonstrates the capacity to govern in the best interest of others, only herself.
1. The Tories knighted Kier Starmer for his work as Head of CPS in prosecuting grooming gangs.
2. Tories had 14 years to instigate an inquiry.
3. Starmer had instigated a rapid review AND instigated an inquiry in 10 months.
4. Grooming gangs are all Kier Starmer’s fault says Badenoch.
