Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government." The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

The difference between Scotland and England at the World Cup- Scotland are just happy to be there for the party. England know that they will win it - until they lose to Germany or Argentina. On penalties. And Scotland will just party on. No Scotland, no party!

Brexit happened because of immigration and economics scare stories. After Brexit, immigration has soared and the economy shrunk. That worked out well.

Scotland is colder than the south of England. But Scottish pensioners pay more to heat their homes. And now Starmer has sentenced many of them to a freezing death. Labour’s Change is to change warm breathing old people into cold dead ones.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

I’ve heard it say that Nigel Farage has no less than seventeen nipples spread over his chest and back. I’m, of course, not saying it’s true, but we have no evidence saying otherwise. It could be true, we just don’t know. That’s how this works, right?
