Queuing at the checkout today in Tesco, the guy in front of me bought a copy of the Sun and the Mail. Like injecting fascism directly into your veins. It's no wonder this country is in a mess.

Trump isnt bothering with any pretence of legitimacy to save the blushes of his NATO allies. They have stolen Venezuela's oil and will sell it and keep the profits. It's a criminal enterprise, plain and simple.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?

TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

Trump has no strategic mind. Only sees what's immediately in front of him.

HAS to "win" a fireside chat with Zelenskyy.

Doesn't think about that meaningless "win" aiding USA's rivals. He's incapable. Too dumb.

This "win" against Venezuela gives the green light to Russian and Chinese expansionism

Putin annexed Crimea. We did nothing.
Trump is annexing Venezuela. We are doing nothing.
Trump will annex Greenland. If we do nothing then China will annex Taiwan.
We are facing an unholy alliance of the three superpowers putting their own interests ahead of the wellbeing of rest of the world.

Cool money-making idea: set up fake company, lie to get massive contract from government, buy yourself yacht with your new millions, get made a baroness for your hard work, fail to fulfil contract, wind up the company when you're ordered to pay money back. Isn't that clever? ♥️

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

It truly feels as if he wants to divide the world into 3 axis powers, N&S America to him, Europe/ Russia to Putin and Pacific to Xi. I hope someone can prove that incorrect.

🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history

75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Is this what democracy looks like?

Now’s a good time to remind you Farage attended a Private Dinner at The Carlton club where he & guests laughed at Hitler jokes & sung ‘we’re all racist now’👇🏼👇🏼

Comic Dominic Frisby sang: “we should have let the Nazis win”

Claims he’s not a racist but loves Nazi jokes & enjoys singing he’s a racist😉

The dinner was attended by Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Liz Truss, Robert Jenrick and Lee Anderson among other high-profile political figures.

The one thing Farage hates is scrutiny. The one thing he hasn’t faced is scrutiny.

That needs to change.
Farage now trying to dodge questions from
Harry Horton raising serious allegations of racism from his past.

If he has nothing to hide, why respond like this?
