Would Farage or Badenoch government respect the rule of law or ignore it to keep Trump happy, is the question to ponder before voting either in power.. apple.news/AzS-d8_JaTc6...

The BBC fiasco shows a core left–right difference, the left long criticised its bias but defends its core principles when unfairly attacked. The right, having shaped its bias by installing their own, now gleefully throw it under the bus, amplify foreign attacks, and call for its destruction.

Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $1bn, claiming “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” Yet in 2020, just before the BBC documentary, he was worth $2.3bn, now he is worth $7.3bn and has been re-elected President. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

My skies can hold both dark clouds and clear skies at the same time. Our planet can hold people of all cultures, beliefs, and views. So why do our politicians insist on causing division over the very differences that naturally coexist?

There are enough resources on our planet to meet the needs of all, but not enough to satisfy the greed of the few. Maybe that is why Musk wants to exploit other planets as well…

“If you sit by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.” This used to be my favourite proverb as a teenager. Can’t think why I thought of it just now whilst listening to the news…

This is the textbook definition of white privilege. If a Black or Muslim man driving a Bentley had been stopped by police, gave vague answers, and refused to provide their phone PIN, the courts would have very likely upheld the selection criteria for ‘stop and search’.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is leading the NYC mayoral race, and it is easy to see why. His campaign radiates inclusivity, positivity, and authenticity. The change he promises isn’t just political, it is hopeful, human, and joyful to witness. Something Lib Dems and Greens should emulate in the UK.

Maybe Trump will give Andrew formerly known as Prince special refugee status in the US. After all, he does seem to have special kinship with paedophiles.

Instead of all the time spent on talking about stopping small boats, how about politicians talk about how they will stop corridor care in hospitals and treat patients with dignity, and not like cattle? apple.news/AnzTG_0tJSGy...

Well done Ed Davey for clearly speaking up against Farage and Badenoch. We need more politicians like him who speak the truth. I would vote for him.

We just stopped Nigel Farage’s plan to drag Britain out of the ECHR and tear up people’s rights. Farage wanted to scrap Churchill’s legacy and bring us closer to Trump's America.

Farage: epic grifter

Donald Trump in 2016 used the phrase “repeal and replace” to replace Obama care to replace it with other act. Then the Tories in 2017 borrowed this phrase to repeal EU laws. Finally the “illustrious”Tulip Siddiq presented and oversaw the below motion just before resigning for ethics investigation.

Watching Al Jazeera’s “Who Pays to Rebuild Gaza After Israel’s Devastating War? (Counting the Cost). Surely the answer lies in the question. After all, that is precisely what the West wants to do with Russia’s frozen European assets and are already using the proceeds to rebuild Ukraine.

Of course “he is more generous about Nigel Farage..”, don’t they both share deep ties to Russia? apple.news/ALNT7Mg4oTHu...

Absolutely powerful. I love Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem, ‘The British’, and Zack Polanski’s use of it here is luminous. This is persuasion at its most civilised, facts and artistry working in concert to elegantly unmask the credibility of his political opponents.

At breakfast, I told my hubby & boys I was going to London for a haircut, did they want any food from there (their usual favourites). The older one said yes, the 14 year old and hubby said no. I asked twice, still no. 4pm, 14 year old goes, What did you get me? Waiting for hubby to ask the same. 😑

Calling others “cretins”, very statesmanlike. Breaking manifesto pledges before even coming to power, so very Nigel. His “huge tax cuts” pledge has already joined the £350M a week for the NHS bus crash in the museum of Farage fiction. apple.news/AbKUA8JQXT4e...

Labour’s Dan Jarvis wiped the floor with Badenoch. #ukpolitics

I wonder how much political capital Netanyahu will pocket from agreeing to Trump’s ceasefire, and how much future fortune Trump and his family will amass from cozying up to Arab leaders at the Gaza summit in Egypt.

Despite his big promises, Netanyahu failed. He didn’t bring back the hostages nor did he eliminate Hamas. It was a coalition of nations led by the US that negotiated with Hamas for a ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinians illegally held in Israeli prisons.

Trump just asked someone who is sitting next to him to pardon Netanyahu? Is this for his corruption trial? So it is perfectly legal for Trump to interfere in Israel’s judicial matters?

When you elect genocidal, racist, power-hungry clowns as heads of state, you get a surreal scene, Netanyahu and Trump, applauding each other over a genocide, weapons transfer and land grabs.

And Trump’s speech, can be summed with the immortal words “small dick energy” with a generous side of a$$ licking. His boasts about America’s weapons and those funnelled to Israel to pulverise a blockaded Gaza deserve scrutiny beyond applause. The ICC should be listening. Russia, surely is.

Did Netanyahu just say, “May God bless this covenant between America and Israel”? Victory laps at Netanyahu’s coven, while Trump sits there smugly. No one dares ask the obvious, Why did it take the world’s most powerful nation this long to bring Israeli hostages home?

Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress. He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Calls for Hamas to disarm sound simple enough, but disarmament only works when there is a credible security guarantor. Has any powerful country has offered to protect Palestinians if they lay down their arms? Without it, this demand is hollow.

My goodness, Zack Polanski is bloody impressive. His views on immigration, Brexit, NATO, and Palestine are spot on. Calling out Farage and Trump, absolutely brilliant.

Norway and Venezuela must be on tenterhooks, will toddler Trump throw tariffs or toys of mass destruction?

I dreamt a dream, of an England without foreigners. How calm, how cultured it would be, Union Jacks hoisted proudly on every lamppost, every pole, So civilised it all seemed, the streets almost paved with gold. /1
