Morten Morland nails it again in The Times...

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Trump complains about the non-existent Sharia Law that has apparently been imposed on London, then actually imposes Martial Law on US cities... how is this happening in the "Land of the Free"?

True or False?

...and yet again, Morten Morland nails it in the Times...

Lets vote Reform to get a Government that does exactly what the billionaires want. How stupid are these people?

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

Trump / Musk Farage / Yusuf HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa.... Predictable. Inevitable.

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.

Most of the people who talk of little but migration also deny climate change, which will create such vast numbers of migrants that the dinghy crossings will look like a tea party. Ironically it may take this surge to persuade those who refuse to read any climate science.

The President of the United States of America - trotting out a completely made-up racist conspiracy theory.... in front of the SA President

Absolutely this. We don't "hold all the cards", and never did except in the fanatical and fantastical view of swivel-eyes loons such as Frost, Gove, Farage, Johnson and Braverman. Negotiation is a matter of give and take.

So many layers of corruption.

I had to go to A&E and was looked after by some wonderful people, many were what Starmer calls “foreign labour”. I apologised and thanked them for all they do, but one Englishman got angry with a nurse bc she pronounced his name Hadrian, not Adrian. This is what Starmer has underscored.

Absolutely this. Why are most of our politicians in denial at the obvious harm that this course of action has caused? Being politically scared of Farage and Reform is not an excuse. Bold action is needed.

UK must 'do everything' to rebuild trade with EU, says Bank boss - Worth far, far more than any ‘deal’ with Trump. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Last week, Trump acknowledged the potential impact of tariffs. American children might "have two dolls instead of 30 dolls" he said, but added that China would suffer more than the US." (BBC) So if the US cuts off one of its legs, Trump promises that China will cut off both of theirs?!? Demented.

Bang on. But sadly, it seems that many voters *are* that gullible.

💯

In case people have missed the point, this is exactly about Freedom of Movement. Ruling it out means more people dying.

I know that McD's say it's price pressure, but I think they're trying to ignore the inevitable slump that comes with any association with Trump (look at what's happening to Musk and Tesla!). They should never have given him that job at their Philadelphia branch! 😜 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Looks like Zelenskyy is actually getting his point across, since the ambush party and the press corps is not encouraging Trump to show off like a little schoolboy.

Odd really - it has been pointed out incessantly that Putin has his own agenda & will demonstrate very little flexibility in negotiations, but Trump apparently knew better. Until the point where he found everyone else was right and knew more than he. Now he expresses surprise and irritation.

Quite. Presumably their fans are impressed by their ability to avoid paying their fair share. Just like the MAGA cult believe Trump when he says "that just makes me smart", even though a bin man in New York pays more tax every year than Trump has in the last decade. Oh yeah, men of the people. 🤢

Trump thinks he's a genius, because all his family & team have told him so. There is a TV series & a book that also tell him this, which he regards as factual documentaries, not the works of fiction that they really are. His supporters agree. I think he's an idiot. So do the IMF, it seems.

"The US should stop whining about itself being a victim in global trade."

"Think only as we want you to think, or we will damage you". Until the MAGA cult has been fumigated, America has waved goodbye to Free Speech. That's the reality - it is Trump, Musk, Vance and Co who want to prevent people from having their own opinions, not the EU or the UK. 🫠

A glimpse into the R&D behind Liz Trussterfuck's social media platform.

Hell no!! No one searches through my phone!!! I'll travel within Canada and to Europe, but the US is no NO FLY ZONE. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/04/16/g...

It’s all a matter of angles. And from this angle, it makes total sense. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇮🇸🇬🇧🇳🇴—-> 🇪🇺 🙌

Everyone’s watching Reform UK, but the real story is Ed Davey, the most popular party leader in England. The Liberal Democrats are on the rise, it's just that the pollsters forgot to mention it | Stephen McNair @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

Trump is "the elite", Liz. So are you. I am not. I am an ordinary person ("The Establishment"?!?) who has not seen Trump being right about... anything. We are dreading the effect of his catastrophic policies. Ordinary people are the ones howling in outrage.

Doubt it.

He's retreated on the iPhone only because of pressure from the billionaire tech bros who don't want their profits dented. Will he do the same for ordinary people when the price of the food and cars doubles? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Talk about backfiring.

China didn’t just raise tariffs by 84%. It also added 12 US tech firms to its export control list and blacklisted 6 American high-tech companies as “unreliable”.

This is spreading fast in the UK. If it’s happening globally the US is in trouble.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Very well!

Just to remind you, where MAGA is really made. Gonna cost you more now for dem red hats. It's been 9 years, where is the MAGA factory? Anyone? Has it been moved from China to America?

Strange men on golf courses distributing tariffs is no basis for a system of government. Bring back the women lying in ponds.

I'm old enough to remember way back in history, when GDP Growth in the USA was 2.5% and the Stock Markets weren't crashing, incomes were up, unemployment was down, and 16 million new jobs were created. Oh, wait, that was last November.

Elon's weird world of "Free Speech" - people should be allowed to disseminate faslehoods resulting in mobs trying to set fire to hotels full of people - people should be allowed to post racists diatribes - people should not be allowed to have a pop at him just because he's ruining their lives
