As predicted, Republican elected officials like Speaker Johnson are claiming they never heard about Donald Trump’s disgusting comments about Rob Reiner, or they’re sprinting past reporters to avoid them. This is what happens when decency and honor are optional.

Sen. Andy Kim is a force to be reckoned with.

Didn't get what they wanted.

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package. That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Hear, hear!👏👏 Well said Sir Ed Davey!😊✨

As soon as the racist bunting went up and St George crosses were being daubed everywhere, we knew. This was a far-right funded migrant-intimidation campaign, pretending to be about national pride. Never felt less proud. And many have never felt less safe. Disgusting of politicians to endorse it.

Newsom's Observation of Chump's Lies Last Night.......

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

Everything Trump does seems to be either a scam, a con job, a fraud, a lie, or pure bullshit. He takes Congressionally approved funds from one area and reallocates them to another, all to mislead the nation into believing he's providing the troops with something extra.

Brexit wasn’t an election. It wasn’t even a referendum because the only referendum we had was advisory. This was a government decision, and not even a parliamentary one. So don’t let them compare it to elections. It’s really not. The only betrayal of the British people is keeping Brexit.

Don't forget: Trump urged his DOJ to investigate Dem connections to Epstein. If they investigate, they can withhold anything incriminating Trump on claims of there being an active investigation. Trump knew what he was doing.

Michelle Mone-linked PPE Medpro wound up after order to repay £148m for faulty goods. Company has £600,000 assets. Govt is unsecured creditor, won't recover anything. Hard to trace money in offshore bank accounts. Govt could sue directors for fraud, will take years, what will it recover?

They told us we’d lose nothing. But we lost the right to live, work, study and retire across 30 countries. Freedom of movement wasn’t a luxury. It was our right. And they stole it. We want it back. #FreedomOfMovement #BrexitReality #RejoinEU #VoicesofLostFOM #SaveFOM

So he’s suing BBC and now this. Remind me again why we rolled out the red carpet for him TWICE!? Did we really think it would make a difference? The only difference it’s made is show the whole world that, since Brexit, we are all alone, weak and desperate.

So we gave Trump his second state visit and in return we got nothing. When is Starmer going to learn that appeasement of fascists doesn't work and just makes them demand more?

So, Trump sues the BBC for $5Bn and puts the technology deal with the UK on hold until the US gets more concessions. Anyone still deluding themselves about that “special relationship”? No. Just the tedious parade of simpering MAGA dickheads - led, of course, by the traitorous Farage.

The UK has given Trump two state visits (no other country has so far offered even one) and look where it’s got us. Our pre-eminent broadcaster being sued and an overhyped trade deal put on ice. So much for a ‘special relationship’. So much for post-Brexit sovereignty. We’ve seldom looked so supine.

This is of course a total lie.

Would be very reassuring to know how the majority of Brits are reacting to the news of Trump suing the BBC for $Bns. A: “Oh just fuck off” Or B: “Good for him” My money is on A. I can almost hear us all shouting it at the news this morning.

Interesting that the BBC thing happened on the same day as Trump goes back on his deal. Anyone would think it’s blackmail. Let me destroy the BBC or you won’t get a deal.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc. Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

And the delusional Labour party STILL believes that sucking up to the orange maniac in the WH is a great idea? Such a “special relationship” as trump’s groveling serf! Trump is the enemy of the UK now. He has betrayed Europe & everything the UK once stood for. www.ft.com/content/afd4...
