Fun fact that lying UK journalistic hacks won’t tell you because they hate Labour: Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary. #UKPolitics

We should start removing the citizenship of weasels like this. If you don’t like paying your taxes and want to live in another country, fine, go, but you won’t be getting back in

Tibor Fischer, started off as a Booker short-listed author ( his novel Under The Frog is pretty good & examines Hungarian life under the soviets) but has laterly become an Orban apologist. Who knows what the motivation is for that transformation.

True, it doesn't take a lot of thinking to realise that Putin has Hungary in line for reintegration with Mother Russia along with the Baltic States. He's already starting moves to protect Russuan speakers in Estonia, same playbook that preceded the Ukrainian invasion.

How is the government making money from the high oil & gas prices? The fuel tax is based on pence per litre & unless people are using more fuel then there won't be additional funds.
If they are assuming that oil companies will pay more Corp tax then they haven't been paying attention.

70 years after the Hungarian Uprising it's shocking that there is a pro-Russian government in Hungary. Have people who vote for Orvan forgotten how subjugated they were by the Soviets?

Now if the Europeans could determine what the word 'runcible' means then they would really be on to something.

My Easter reading:
"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..."

Living proof that God doesn't exist or doesn't care. If he was real & looking down on us then the false pastors like Paula White would have been struck by lightning long ago.

Unlikely since Pakistan didn't exist before the partition of India in 1947. India was also on the Allies side as it was part of the British Empire in WWII. Many Indian troops fought alongside the British both in Europe and against the Japanese.

The US Republicans have successfully merged all 3 and that seems to be a potent force for evil.

Yep, they've replaced an old radical leader with a younger even more radical leader & ensured that this leadership can ride the patriotic fervour which is the result of being attacked.

Looks like Adrian Newey isn't quite as clever as he thought he was.

We urgently need to look at how many homes in the UK are either empty or under-occupied. There is very little incentive to down-size when your house is treated as an investment & it costs a significant amount in stamp duty & fees to do so.

All of the Mail's columnists are dead but most of them only from the neck up.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere.

Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating.

Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins.

(🎥 BBC News)

Many nations, including signatories to that statement, have told Trump that he started the war & it's up to hom to finished it without their help.

It's just words, the article linked states the following:
• No commitment of naval vessels. Not a single nation pledged ships, aircraft, or troops.
• No timeline. There is no date by which action must be taken.

I remember "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" making it to #2 in the British charts when Margaret Thatcher died.

The celebrations won't be limited to the US borders. It will be the biggest global party since VE Day in 1945.

If you want to stand for parliament then your tax records for the past 10 years should be available for public scrutiny. Also if you're not resident in the UK & don't pay tax here that should disqualify you from public office.

Perhaps the Danish navy could invade the US once all the American ships are in the Middle East. They'd be welcomed as liberators.

£53m is less than £1 per person in the UK. Did they find the funding for this down the back of the nation's sofas?

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another £3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

A bit worrying if the Shadow Chancellor doesn't understand hiw averages work.

Especially those from Hartlepool.

Upton Sinclair : "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it".

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
