For years Hungary's state TV fed the country propaganda every night. This week the channel went dark and signed off apologizing for years of lies. What made it happen? Voters threw the liars out. That's what one election can do. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

Sigh. I'm old enough to remember when we all thought Jawje Dubya was the stoopidest old coot in the whole of Christendom, and that no one - but NO ONE - would ever be as bad as him. Boy, was I ever wrong about that!!...

Let's take this bit at a time. The editor of The Spectator, defender of the working class, and protector against immigrants is privately educated former Tory minister Baron Gove of Torry, formerly in relationships with an American, another American, and then a woman raised in Rome. 1/

Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

Let's be honest. As soon as Adele endorses Count Binface, it's all over for Farage, isn't it?...

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

In amidst of all the ridicule, the corruption, the dishonesty and deception, let’s not forget that Farage is a vicious, far-right racist.

I've never understood this kind of rationale. If it's entertaining, then it's a great movie. It did its job. Otherwise you're measuring it against a yardstick that doesn't exist outside the opinions of other people. Just let it be what it is, not what everyone else thinks it should be.

Nigel Farage claimed in his speech that he has never used his daughter and has always done everything he could to protect his family's privacy. Here's Nigel Farage with his daughter, Isabelle, on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2023. youtu.be/JBddakZy1qo?...

“World champions of what?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 — Noah Lyles American track and field athlete I came across this video and I can’t stop laughing. He ain’t wrong though.

Just a reminder for those not familiar with UK media, please don't circulate posts or articles by the Daily Mail, the paper has been aligned with the far-right since the 1930s and continues to promote the forces of modern fascism.

EXC - The £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money, the Guardian can reveal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My likely controversial take on Farage’s little game to run a by-election in Clacton and own the media cycle while Burnham is becoming leader. Ignore it. There’s more important things to be spending our energy on.

Time to vote America… don’t sit this one out!

It's a good job Nigel Farage didn't fail to declare a ten quid Universal Credit overpayment, because he'd really be in trouble then

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

I have special disdain for the anti inmigrant immigrants.

Just to remind ourselves, here are our initial @bylinetimes.bsky.social's investigations into Cottrell's role in helping Farage become a true 'Man of the Paypal' er.... checks notes... 7 years ago

At the heart of the Reform project are allegations of big money buying influence. They wrap themselves in the flag while selling our future. We can be in no doubt about what they'd do in power. They would rip apart our communities and serve their crypto paymasters.

Never has this been truer.

This is what an actual true patriot looks like. God bless you and protect you for your courage!

Reform UK have deleted their Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill from their website. So here it is for the record: web.archive.org/web/20260203...

I'm British, and I think DRC put up a valiant defense against England, to the point where - in the early stages - it looked like DRC might triumph. That they didn't wasn't due to lack of trying. Both teams were excellent. Only one could win. There'll always be other World Cups.

You probably won't read this in the right wing media today

'Economic growth' is a Holy Grail that we are told we must endlessly seek before anything can be done about the state of the world. In reality, economic growth is the endless hoarding of power and resources by the few. It is the opposite of what we need. Let's seek an economy that actually works.

Wow, what a cock-up!

"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

A new investigation alleges Christopher Harborne, now Reform's biggest donor and at the centre of the £5m scandal, was present at the secret Blackfriars meeting and on the campaign trail in Hartlepool the day Farage made the decision that delivered Boris Johnson's Brexit majority.

This is a Refugee Tax. It was originally proposed by the Tories, and the only reason asylum seekers could be claimed to 'owe' any money is because they are banned from working. Another cruel Labour policy - that must be reversed on day one by Andy Burnham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

State money is an idea not a thing.

Please don't confuse socialism with the Soviets. Not the same thing.

Been reading On Courage. It should be required reading for Dems: “This basic arithmetic problem means sometimes living with contradictions, even embracing them.” Politics isn’t about finding people who agree w/you on everything. It’s finding enough people to push the jeep out of the mud together.

Heinrich Himmler: "If we lose the war, the Allies will turn every committee of the occupation into an investigative body. They will go after the Reich leadership, the cabinet, the donors, and friends."

The next administration must make DRASTIC CHANGES,, so that we NEVER SEE ANOTHER TRUMP or MAGA. EVER AGAIN!!

I can't stand this awful movie (so sue me!! 😉), but even I gotta admit this is a stunning piece of artwork. Absolutely superb...

If it was up to me, the next POTUS would announce during their Inaugural Address that the Executive Branch will hold in abeyance enforcement of every decision the Roberts Court ever made until the new Special Prosecutors have had a chance to investigate Roberts et al for perjury and corruption.
