Repost this one for me please

Once, this country spoke and the world leaned in. Not from fear but from a kind of reluctant respect.

This is how something breaks. Not all at once but piece by piece, word by word.

Destruction does not begin with bombs.
It begins with a mouth that forgets what a human life costs.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.

Will do. I’m 4% in already 😁

Need a new series. So I’m heading in.

Two lovers reunited this morning❤️
Boris & Laura.
Bunty went all moist on me.
Jill in the village shop had a trickle.
It brought a tear to my teat.

Love conkers all!😍

Nigel Farage hasn’t been to Clacton for so long he’s forgotten how to spell it.

Silly fucker put Chagos Islands in the sat nav by mistake.

Reform appears to have a freephone number.
It would be really wrong to abuse this or keep them on the line for absolutely ages.....or ask for more "literature" which costs them to send....

As the TV Licence is increasing by £5.50 to an eye watering £180, it’s a time to remember where that money goes👇🏼👇🏼

Fun fact - Laura Kuenssberg is paid circa £395,000, so that’s a whopping £665,000 paid to just 2 third rate ex journalists, who are now full time Reform cheerleaders promoting Farage 😡

Meanwhile the boundless determination + ingenuity of British people calmly reclaiming community streets continues unabated 🏆

Reform UK have blamed the printers saying there was a “trimming error”. These clearly show an A4 letter with no trimming.

And who trims an A4 letter?

Calling bullshit on them.

There's a one hour special on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and whether they are ready to lead, on BBC2

Presumably, there will be a similar one hour special on Zack Polanski, and whether The Greens are ready to lead, as well?

👏🏼

There's just page after page detailing Trump's decades long involvement in rape of kids and possible collusion in murder...

This is how the BBC is reporting Matt Goodwin's selection as Reform's candidate in Gorton and Denton.

He's not an academic. He holds no academic position and hasn't done for quite some time.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

A beautiful initiative.

Reasons to Stay is a suicide prevention project connecting strangers through anonymous letters.

Horrifying.

I don't have the words.

I'm not sure any more are needed.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US – will the UK be next? | Good Law Project Deadly ICE raids in the US rely on Palantir tools that mine health records to produce real-time data on people’s location – a chilling prospect for the NHS

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.

Liddle pub visit on the way home? 🤔

Just played it to Rascal. He’s quite concerned. 😆

All living former US Presidents should form an alliance and speak out forcefully, before it becomes too late, against the narcissistic sociopath in the White House who has turned the United States into an international pariah while terrorising its own citizens.

Ukraine war briefing: Zelenskyy declares energy emergency as cities shiver Night-time temperatures dip close to -20C; minister outlines major problems with desertion and conscription evasion. What we know on day 1,422 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is to declare a state of emergency in Ukraine’s energy sector to tackle disrupted power supplies after heavy Russian attacks. Energy imports would also be increased, the Ukrainian president said. Emergency crews in Ukraine have proceeded with round-the-clock efforts to restore power and heating supplies at a time when night-time temperatures are dipping close to -20C (-4F). Zelenskyy said the state of emergency would allow authorities “more options and flexibility”. He called for the establishment of more centres where residents can stay warm and charge electronic devices, and said nightly curfews could be lifted in areas where the security situation permitted it. The president said Kyiv – whose mayor he regularly clashes with – had done considerably less than other major centres, notably Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, to prepare for the hardships inflicted by the attacks. “Even in recent days, I do not see sufficient intensity,” he said. “This must be urgently corrected. Decisions must be made.” The Kyiv mayor, Vitali Klitschko, countered that heating had been restored to all but about 400 of 6,000 affected apartment buildings and support centres were operating 24 hours a day. “Such statements, first of all, undermine the dedicated work of thousands of people, professionals,” Klitschko wrote. “They may not have weapons in their hands, but through their tireless efforts they are also fighting for their country.” Zelenskyy said a permanent coordination headquarters would be set up in Kyiv with Denys Shmyhal, the newly appointed first deputy prime minister and energy minister, overseeing the work. Donald Trump has again claimed Ukraine – not Russia – is holding up a potential peace deal, rhetoric that stands in marked contrast to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending its war in Ukraine. “I think he’s ready to make a deal,” Trump said of Vladimir Putin, in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday. “I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal.” Moscow and Kyiv remain at odds over the key issue of territory. There are few signs that Putin is prepared to soften his maximalist demands to end the full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy urged the military to hold their positions along the 1,200km (775-mile) frontline and diplomats to keep working on securing peace. “From our side, maximum productivity is required,” he said. “We expect the same level of energetic work from the American side. I personally very much expect this.” Ukraine will be able to buy military equipment from non-European suppliers when it is given access to a €90bn (£78bn) EU loan later this year under a proposal outlined by the EU executive, Jennifer Rankin writes from Brussels. “European preference first, but if not possible then purchase abroad,” said the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, who added that Europe should have a return in jobs and research benefits from the “billions and billions that are being invested”. Her proposal represents a softening of the approach pursued by France that favoured a more restrictive “buy European” clause. The commission said an alternative plan based on using Russia’s frozen assets remained on the table. Desertion by 200,000 troops and another two million people evading conscription are among many challenges facing the military, Ukraine’s new defence minister said on Wednesday. Mykhailo Fedorov told parliament that other problems included excessive bureaucracy, a Soviet-style approach to management, and disruptions in the supply of equipment to troops. “We cannot fight a war with new technologies but an old organisational structure,” Fedorov said. The defence ministry was facing a shortfall of 300bn hryvnia ($6.9bn) in funding, Fedorov said. On the upside he said some sectors had emerged from scratch, including private missile producers, which now number about 20, and more than 100 companies manufacturing ground-based robotic systems. The US treasury department has extended until 28 February a licence for companies to talk with Russian energy company Lukoil about buying its foreign assets. The US imposed sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft, Russia’s two biggest energy companies, on 22 October as part of an effort to pressure Moscow over its war in Ukraine. Lukoil put its $22bn in global assets up for sale shortly after. It has been hard-hit by the US sanctions, with overseas operations disrupted from Iraq to Finland. Continue reading...

Make Americans Poor Again

We are extending Free School Meals and rolling out Free Breakfast Clubs, so fewer children go hungry. We are raising the National Living Wage and strengthening rights at work, so more parents can rely on secure, decent jobs. And today in Parliament, we introduced the landmark legislation to scrap the Two Child Limit, a failed Tory policy experiment for which children have paid the price. This is a proud moment for our party, and a vital step forward for our country. While Nigel Farage and Reform offer division and decline, this Labour government is making renewal a reality.

A small ray of positivity in a world of what feels like relentless doom and gloom.

It’s not perfect but it’s a start.
