Various headlines in which Jacob Rees-Mogg, Liz Truss, Daniel Hannan, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage endorse Donald Trump.
The very stable geniuses of British politics should not be allowed to forget their sycophancy towards Trump.
❤️🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.
This made me laugh much more then it strictly should have done.
I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
Posted this earlier, posting it again, my blog post of ten years ago today in which I was depressingly and painfully prescient. I don't know why so few other people saw it coming. To me it was as plain as could be that we'd end up here if we elected Cameron. ottocr.at/treat-7-may-...
Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world
Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

I am getting increasingly frustrated by Labour bigwigs speechifying about how the world has changed and we need to be bold and then... not being bold

"‘Point-Blank Range’: How Israel Executed 15 Medics and Rescue Workers in Gaza"
Writing for Zeteo, Diana Buttu says she had a difficult time writing this essay because she could not stop thinking about the level of evil needed to carry this out.
Quick reminder: Le Pen wasn't found guilty because the French courts hate democracy. She was found guilty because she broke the fucking law.

Turns out "public figures" in the Le Pen headline refers to Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin, and Dan Hannan. None of whom are (democratically) elected politicians.
The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account:

One of the biggest corporate donors to the populist Reform U.K. party has sold almost $2 million worth of transmitters, cockpit equipment, antennas and other sensitive technology to a major supplier of Moscow’s blacklisted state weapons agency, documents show. From 2023 to 2024, the company, part of the British aerospace manufacturer H.R. Smith Group, shipped the equipment to an Indian firm that is the biggest trading partner of the Russian arms agency, Rosoboronexport. H.R. Smith Group donated 100,000 pounds (just under $130,000) to Reform U.K. last year, two days after Nigel Farage was announced as the party’s leader. The company is run by Richard Smith, a businessman who owns 55 Tufton Street, a Westminster townhouse that is home to some of Britain’s most influential right-wing lobbying and research groups.
Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
Trump is going to do or say something crazy to throw Americans off this Signal disaster. Do NOT take the bait he tosses out.
Stay on Signalgate.
Unpaid carers save the UK government approximately £162 billion pounds a year. As a thank you the current government thinks stripping 150,000 of them of carers allowance is a good thing!!!! #WelfareCuts
Column. On pathetic European freeloaders.

It’s clear that the brainless estate agent Trump picked as his special envoy is a Russian asset - why else would he speak to Tucker Carlson, the Kremlin’s number one useful idiot? Don’t be surprised if US defence contractors end up supplying Russia under the deal he fixes

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.
This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.
