Lest we forget

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “We're making some changes to the peace plan after talks with Ukraine.” Meanwhile, Starmer has spoken to Trump twice in the last 24 hours to try to influence events.

There’s no point in beating Labour if the end result is the election of a populist, nationalist, far-right government that will dismantle the UK’s democracy. A strategy of trusting Nigel Farage to do the right thing is about as grounded in realism as believing leaving NATO is how to beat Putin.

The Trump family, selling out Ukraine AND the US for personal profit. America First my arse!😡

Remember how we kept getting told that a European Army was a REALLY BAD idea?

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Lest we forget

Fcking hell: did you all know that?😱😱😱 I had no clue.

I am struggling to believe the Russians decided to throw money at solely at one relatively obscure UKIP MEP.

This story is all Nigel Farage should be asked about by journalists for months

This is one of the changes in the UK media landscape that should be more remarked on: the fact that being a very open, proud, outright racist is no longer a bar to being a pundit on some TV stations (in this case GBN and Talk TV).

The UK broadcast media's elite operators subjected Boris Johnson to the levels of intense scrutiny they now apply to Nigel Farage.

Mother in Law has been very poorly but still the hospital has discharged her home. We have been looking for a care home to give her some respite care. It’s extortionate. To add salt to the wound lady from the care home has just pulled up to assess MIL in an Aston Martin. Not an ideal look TBH

Nobody expected this, I bet 😂😂😂

Terrific

Asked whether Nigel Farage plans to sue the Guardian, given he denies making any of the racist and anti-semitic comments attributed to him, his spokesman replies "not at this stage".

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents. And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Trump To Vance: ‘I Need You To Say You Stole My Face In The 1990s’ https://theonion.com/trump-to-vance-i-need-you-to-say-you-stole-my-face-in-the-1990s/

I struggle to see why turning ourselves into a society so unwelcoming that even those afraid for the lives are deterred from coming is something we would actually *want*.

Epstein’s War

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Remember when Trump said Ukraine had no cards? Ukrainian attack halts oil exports from Russia's Novo, affecting 2% of global supply, sources say - www.reuters.com/world/ukrain...

These people are just fundamentally disgusting aren't they? Absolute scum.

This is the line she is taking to defend Donald Trump? 😡😡

We don't need all the sordid details. Any other President would have resigned, or been forced to resign, if his relationship with a notorious paedophile became public. At least Andrew lost his royal title and Mandelson lost his ambassadorship. It would outrageous if Trump escaped justice—again.

Oh, they're talking about it now, Mr Vance.

Looking forward to all the Trump fans in British politics being asked their views about the latest Epstein revelations tomorrow...

Stop using the language of the rapist. It is not sex with children, it is rape of children. It is not underage girls, it is children. It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

Fawlty Towers still the go-to reference. And to think people ask whether Britain has soft power.

probably something an innocent man would do

We all know. They know. We know they know. They know we know they know.

KKKaroline Leavitt is being Donald Trumps human shield, whether she likes it or not. This stonewalling simply cannot last, not now, not with the emails being released. Even MAGATS won't accept this BS.

The name of the victim is blacked out in the email from Epstein to Maxwell as published by the Oversight Committee earlier today I wonder where the DailyFail got the information from that the victim Epstein is referring to was indeed Virginia Giuffre. 🧐🧐🧐

The BBC have always been biased against me. As I explained in detail during my 38 appearances on BBC Question Time.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Jeremy Hunt, regular guest on GB News, is in no way protecting the BBC (for the record). This, from his weekly constituency newsletter 👇

WTAF

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion. So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Labour needs to sort out election funding rules as a matter of urgency.

I'm in bits, kids are crying, "but daddy who's going to do the Is The Escaped Prisoner An Immigrant all-day live feeds now?" and I don't know what to tell them.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Beyond the bog standard racism, I think this may explain why the right is going after David Lammy so aggressively at the moment ...

#GVerse Um. WTF??? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages. Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.
