A special election in a reliably pro-Trump Texan district, where the majority of voters are Republican, Trump personally endorsed the MAGA candidate, and the GOP outspent Dems by 7-to-1. Democrats won with a 31% swing. The mid-terms are going to be a wipeout. www.bbc.com/news/article...

“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

On the 5th anniversary of Brexit, it would be decidedly wrong not to pass comment. An engineered act of self harm with nothing to show after trading with the EU for 47 years. And now, many wish to rejoin. I hate to say I told you so but, I did tell you so. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

When is a fine on a company not a fine? When it is levied on England's water companies with nearly 1,200 criminal convictions. Headline grabbing fines are announced but not collected for years, not even paid. No pressure on water companies to obey laws. Water companies indulged by govt. Why?

Here we see working class Mancunian lad Matt Goodwin campaigning vigorously and winning over yet another voter in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

I want an documentary about this documentary

“Zia Yusuf, the party's head of policy, told the Times last year that his party would adopt a 'Trump 2.0' approach to immigration, saying: "We are going to move at great speed. It'll be much more like Trump mark two than Trump mark one" When they tell you who they are, you better listen”

With Palantir and Mandelson both back in the news, it’s worth revisiting this — the Epstein/Mandelson/Thiel connection, and how Mandelson’s lobbying company introduced Starmer to the Palantir team bylinetimes.com/2025/09/12/p...

Have you heard? Released today by one of America's very real heroes - youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Thank you Dorset Eye - it's a shame Reform and the Tories haven't got the honesty to acknowledge these figures and be pleased about them.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The Boss has spoken.

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

On point as always 👏🏼

Isn't Peter a pedophile 🤔

Surely Wes Streeting wouldn't be so dim as to let it happen here? Would he? #NHS.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go. He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out. Lesson to be learned. We have power.

Suella Braverman, "There is a very strong case to increase the powers of any immigration enforcement officers that we deploy" "At the moment they're hamstrung by human rights laws, by health and safety laws, by all sorts of needless and obstructive bureaucracy"

Very low morale amongst border patrol & ICE agents. They admit a bunch of things in the article but the last line is *chef's kiss.* The Battle of Minneapolis is lost. open.substack.com/pub/kenklipp...

"... government's white paper on water has failed to bring water back into public ownership Regulations have failed, and shareholders have extracted enormous profits while water bills have rocketed We need real change, not half measures Public ownership is the only solution" via Fire Brigades Union

The wonderful Glenn Close tells it perfectly in this clip. Listen, pass it on & hopefully some people will learn something from it.

Can’t believe I‘m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months. They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state. The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

This is so true. Tell malignant narcissist Trump & his psycho followers to do one & dump his arse. Push back. Say No. Hold them to account. Dump Treasury Bonds.Get rid of Palantir. Our government needs to leave X.

This is insane. She, and a Native American woman, were physically hurt and scared for their lives.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

It should freak the American people out that Trump, Noem and Bovino lie so enthusiastically. He wasn't "brandishing a weapon". He wasn't attending a "riot" or "interfering in a crime scene". He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights. We saw what we saw.

Response from Wes Streeting www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/reform-mp-...

New Reform MP Andrew Rosindell whose salary is £91,000 a yr plus expenses is fine with the NHS being replaced by private insurance.. I bet he wouldn’t say that if he was on £20K a year, or benefits.. 😡

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

They killed Alex Pretti because he exercised his constitutional rights & stood up for a woman they assaulted. There is nothing Christian or Christlike about the people who killed him. They would have killed Jesus Christ too and Republicans would have cheered.

It would also be hilarious if someone cornered Starmer and asked him about this tweet:

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
