Putin cooks up an appeasement plan that he doesn’t really want to succeed but rewards his terrorism. Puppet Trump presents it. Commentators take it on its merits and pull it to pieces. Bad actors make disingenuous overtones. Meanwhile Putin continues to make billions in oil sales to fund his war of

Perhaps the Home Secretary, law graduate & barrister-at-law, Shabana Mahmood should read & understand the relevant section of the Refugee Convention to which the UK has been a signatory since long before she was born before putting out deliberately misleading & rabble rousing tweets like this.

This is it. On the money. London is rich in culture, ethnically diverse, ever evolving and always thriving. And some people just can’t stand that.

Snapped this out walking the dog last night. Amazing creatures

Farage: epic grifter

So basically, deport my wife because she got seriously ill during COVID. Go Britain 🇬🇧…

sure a "polite notice" should begin "Dear patrons".

Encountering the fascists outside Waterloo iandunt.substack.com/p/encounteri...

So near me, Big Yellow throws up a completely new build storage site on land that could have been flats, for people who already have houses and own too much shit to put to in them. Strange times…

Just gong to leave this here so more people are aware of the scumbags attitude. youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

Wow 👏👏👏

People have genuine, serious, concerns which need to be recognised and addressed. The problem is they keep being told that these concerns are caused by immigration, and when you are struggling you will take what you can as a reason. This isn't to say people are stupid or racist, just struggling. 1/

When companies that promise the earth and it turns out they’re ripping us off. Once they’re found out as rogue traders nothing stops them setting up shop with the same directors and going again. Meet Reform…

Russia under Putin has always been and will always be this. Apologists abound, this is their hero.

Horrifying "A probing of this statelessness approach was on display yesterday, as Trump and his advisors claimed that K A Garcia, a legal resident of the United States whom US authorities abducted by mistake and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador, was now beyond the reach of American law."

I see your “spectre of Liz Truss”, and I raise you George Osborne.

When has taxing the rich ever worked?

Trinidad and Tobago calls new UK visa requirement ‘disproportionate move’ This is some callous reactionary bullshit. So much for the Commonwealth. Jamaican’s, Domenica and now Trini’s join an exclusive club of nations needing visas to come for a trip or visit family.

Would anyone with an order for US military equipment, in all seriousness not be looking at how to cancel? How can you trust them now? Would you want to be on the hook for a maintenance contract with a Russian aligned administration?

And in the last day, Musk said people protesting Tesla were paid by Jews (some dead) with foreign connections, and separately blamed NGOs for causing the country’s problems. Again, this is copied directly from the playbook used by Orban and Putin to criminalize dissent and dismantle civil society.

It’s almost as if Russia has expansionist goals and can’t be trusted

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Trump’s foreign policy “coincides with our vision” — official Kremlin spokesman kyivindependent.com/kremlin-comm...

Brutal.

🧵Three years ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine, EU, UK and other nations vowed to wage economic war, via the toughest sanctions in history. So... how's that going? We've spent months documenting what ACTUALLY happened. Here's a thread of our investigations on the REAL story on sanctions... 👇

"Bravo, Britain! 🇬🇧✊🙌🤣 Tesla #ElonMusk teslamotors"

Happy to repost this but everyone already knows it. Zelensky is more popular here than most UK politicians let alone at home. Any statement beginning ‘Trump says’ has already become wildly disinteresting.

Just watched the Trump press conference in which US president said that Zelensky "should have never started the war" if he wanted a seat at the table in Riyadh. Unbelievable stuff.

In case everyone was too busy Trump scrolling to notice. England just beat France…. 🎉 most gratifying way to start Saturday night.

This is so good.

This should be printed off and placed in every room, car and on the back of every toilet door Starmer has to go in for as long as it takes to get the message out that tinkering with ‘the deal’ isn’t enough

Morning from Combloux

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

I’m used to banal and stupid shit coming out of US politics (glass houses notwithstanding) but this is genuinely shocking in and of itself. The papers playing it down is far worse

the internet is closed for the rest of the day. Kevin wins, take the day off.

Campaign to stop using this - 💯. It's meaningless (and diminishes my ire at EM who uses it constantly)

So Channel 4 (UK) drove this flatbed truck to Meta headquarters in response to their axing fact checkers. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant

If you’ve not heard of this please listen to it.

Would be novel if some of the US behemoths said, rather than give squillions to Trumps look at me party (inauguration), here's a massive donation to [fill in the local charity / crisis of your choice] to mark the occasion of government transition. www.fastcompany.com/91257772/tru...

Can’t get my head around Microsoft doing this. They’re so well insulated in the market from the Trump bullish!t and have vested interest in corporations small and large across the globe. Many of whom will suffer financially if Trump’s proposals manifest

Thank you for this. Speaking for many of us here calling Chris Philp a ‘dry gulping disgrace’ 😂 and yes, we also totally loathe him. ‘Talk about failing upwards’ - priceless. How are these bloviating mouth breathers still having the temerity to keep talking?

“no one in public life who has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests” Victims show more class than charlatans every time. Good for them. Would be good if every news break headlined with this.

Take my 19yo to a post op follow up. Receptionist asks for credit card. ‘Do I owe you money?’ ‘No.’ ‘Then no.’ ‘It’s a new policy…’ ‘OK, but it’s my policy not to give credit cards to people I don’t owe money to.’ … ‘OK sir but I’m unable to book any further appointments for you.’ ‘Meh’

This new government banging on about making tough decisions are incapable of making easy ones. Streeting who had all the answers in opposition has turned out to be an another empty vessel

Is the USA going to deploy diplomatic energy to challenge the rule of law (contempt of court) in the UK over a man banned from America. One of his criminal convictions and jail sentences was for a fraudulent entry into the US using a false identity & passport! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Wouldn’t want to waste government money undermining their own communications

I mean yes, if he refused to tax the rich, call out genocide, and refused to nationalise health and utilities, and continued to enforce more austerity by refusing to stand up to the neoliberal elite. He would have bad ratings too.

'Secret' if you've not read the various other articles about this document over the past week or two But let's look at this, shall we? 1/ www.thesun.co.uk/news/3234312...
