BORIS JOHNSON: If Labour MPs try to reverse Brexit they will be walking into a hail of machine gun fire - and if that's the fight they want, bring it on! But they should heed my warning before things get bloody..
Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use
The normalisation of extremism – a warning
The ‘f’ word may be thrown around too easily – some on the right argue that – but parallels between the 1920s/1930s and now are startling if you think about it.

NUMBER CRUNCHING £300 Fall in annual GDP per head in last eight recorded quarters, which Nigel Farage cites as the reason people are 'economically angry; we are getting poorer' £1,000 Loss of annual GDP per head caused by Brexit so far
Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him.
For love of god, England, work it out…

A reminder that Sadiq Khan successfully won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life.
Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"
A series of Israeli attacks on displacement camps and designated “safe zones” in Gaza has killed several Palestinians, including children.
Israel attacks last remaining hospitals in Gaza and orders one to shut down.

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"
Richard Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK:
"If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

America spends 4x as much on Healthcare per person as any other country.
Yet has the worst healthcare in the developed world.
And this is the BS they wheel out to defend it.
We are so poorly served by world leaders. So many are weak and compromised. Instead of sitting down and negotiating they persist in trying to perceive to be strong.
A likely escalation of the Russia/Ukraine war would be hugely damaging.
The ongoing slaughter of Palestinians is shameful and obscene.
Not once has Starmer condemned Netanyahu for the horrific crimes his apartheid regime has committed against Palestinians. Starmer talks about the release of Israeli hostages only. He choses to ignore the thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.
When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.
If that disgusting racist and grifting liar Nigel Farage shouldn't have been on Question Time even once, nevermind 38 times.
Give this a Like, or better yet a RP.
The world gets 11% richer every year, but you don't.
Because 90% of that new wealth goes to the richest 1%.
And 50% goes to just the richest 0.001%.
The world isn't ever going to get better unless their glass is broken.

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.
I'm sure you agree.
So, let me get this straight. The white descendants of immigrants who’s ancestors came here simply seeking a better way of life want to deport non-white immigrants who come here for that very same reason?
Make. It. Make. Sense.
Yeah and one of these days the farmers might realise who are their friends and who is using them for their own personal interests
@questiontime.bsky.social how come in the ‘issues of the day’ bit at the beginning Fiona Bruce didn’t mention the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Wow! is daily war crimes not up for a mention any more???
Israeli PM Netanyahu and ex-Defence Minister Gallant face ICC arrest warrants for "war crimes committed from at least 8 Oct 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.” aje.io/mse8rr
Conservative MP Alex Burghart, whose leader stood on a stage yesterday to defend Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson's right to hang on to their multimillion pound inheritances, now furiously complaining about the Government handing pay rises to public sector workers.
On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…
And that deprivation has hit a record high
Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits
Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?
…anywhere?
With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation".
But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.
