Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Many of us lost loved ones to Covid and many of us struggled with the virus when we caught it.

People claiming it was a "staged event" are dangerous conspiracy theorists who don't care at all about the victims of that terrible event. The idea they're standing as representatives is horrific.

Wes Streeting: Clearly men (cis OR Trans) deserve to be treated with dignity!

Also Wes Streeting: Fuck trans women though...

Yet again right wing thugs have hijacked the trauma of a victim tp spread their own vicious and factually inaccurate ideology.

Time these racist individuals and organisations faced realco sequences. If Palestine Action can be banned for promoting peace then racist groups can be banned too.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV

Defo a bet going on here with more importance put on the "dire straights" joke than the crisis at hand.

#TheRestIsEntertainment now inserting their own paid promotion plugs mid-conversation rather that waiting for a change of topic, ironically in the middle ofa conversation on sponsorship.

The obvious answer to disruptions in supply of oil is to invest in alternatives, not make plans to become even more reliant on oil.

Péter Magyar victory speech:

"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."

He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

The result is huge. Vast in its consequences. Orban was the inspiration to all those who came after him. He served as Putin's puppet, undermining Europe from within and Ukraine from without. He funded a vast network of fascists around the world. It's all vulnerable now, or falling apart entirely.

All the worst cunts in the world - from journalism to politics, the Kermlin to the White House - are suffering tonight.

Ukraine is about to get an awful lot of European money. No more Cunt's Veto. A potential turning point in the battle against Russian imperialism.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
