Don’t know who needs to hear this but “taking back control” from a Union you’re a member of, with full voting rights, to hand it to an American lunatic you bent over backwards to flatter yet he publicly humiliates you, is not taking back control at all, it’s relinquishing it.

How on earth does the email "not indicate any wrongdoing"?

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

Fox reports that that while many of the redactions to the Epstein Files were made to protect victims’ identities, “the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.”
In other words, DOJ admits that they edited Trump and his pals out.

This👇🏼is beyond sick.. racist Islamophobes crossing out Ahmed as the hero who saved Jewish lives, at Bondi Beach, and creating a white guy to be the hero to flood the Net with a full narrative FFS 🤬
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

There are MPs still interacting with the far right on X. A platform designed and run to undermine the UK and to shatter its values with hatred and violence. They're talking to people who want to deport them and who despise every word they say - and let's face it, don't believe they have any rights.

Seems like Nige is very bad at answering questions. Here's a Channel 4 News clip from 2019 of Matt Frei asking Fartrage whether Arron Banks is funding his lifestyle, or someone else.
Interestingly, he says it's the Russians.

In yet more devastating news, the VC has confirmed her plans to cut 80% of academic staff from Essex Pathways, our foundation year department. This would effectively close down all our existing foundation year programmes through the back door.
But it's not a done deal yet. Please share urgently.

👇🏼Back in 2022 Farage called Truss’s budget “The best Conservative budget since 1986” as Financial Markets went into freefall
Today he calls Reeves budget👇🏼 “devastating” as the Financial Markets applaud it
So what does this tell us❓🤔
Farage knows less than F*ck All About Economics 🙄🤡🤡

Listen Adam no one’s a Reform type Patriot as much as Farage..
Anyone who claims there’s no freedom of speech in the UK (whilst speaking freely) as he did in USA, and constantly talks down the UK has got to be a true patriot right..
We even pay him £94K a year as an MP to do this so he must be 🙄

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.
