OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.
Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

What is a Trump Account from TurboTax.
💸 Apparently, when you do your taxes with TurboTax, it asks you if you want to make a contribution to a “Trump Account,” an IRA account for your child.
The one seeded by Michael Dell…
Looks to me like another opening for Trump to grift from #WeThePeople and why isn’t it called a “Dell Account?”
If I remember correctly, Johnson also overruled security to send Lebedev to the House of Lords.
Georgia is still protesting daily in huge numbers against their government taking them away from Europe as Russian influence strengthens. We must not forget them.

For those keeping track at home. The Iranians have now blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US blockading it because the Iranians had blockaded it, in response to the US attacking Iran to ensure that the Strait which was fully open at the time wasn't blockaded.
NEW: We’ve identified the man who runs the far-right troll account on X “HowlingMutant,” whose jokes about rape and the Holocaust have earned him nearly 200,000 followers, which include Vice President JD Vance. His name is Alexander Norden, from Rockaway Park in New York City.
Que suerte fenomenal 😍
It would almost be more appropriate to send a government minister if it’s simply in order to ‘respect the office’ of the president.
Absolutely. Trump has no respect for anyone or anything yet demands respect from the rest of the world. We just enable him every time we accede to his demands.
“King and Queen will not meet Epstein survivors during US state visit.” Just the perpetrators…

There was no good way to organise this visit and nothing gained by sending him. A severe risk to national dignity, undertaken for no advantage whatsoever.
You should know better 😉🤣

In absolutely chef’s kiss timing, Matthew Goodwin is due to speak at Orbán’s in-house propaganda group MCC *today*
Badloss strikes again.
The madness of king Don
Listening to Kemi Badenoch and feeling almost envious of a life lived entirely undisturbed by reality.
💭 Remember Farage in 2018?
“Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.”
2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU.
They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no.
Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!
Hungary is a big deal.
Most current right wing dictatorships have modelled their tactics on those of Orban.
Suppressing opposition through litigation and lawfare.
Defunding public institutions.
Financially rewarding ethno nationalists whilst oppressing progressives.
Silencing journalists.
“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights”
Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand.
Hungary shows us we must never give them power.

Maybe the WH staff hadn't told him Iran closed the Strait again. Maybe they were making a cartoon clip to explain it to him.

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election
A rare defeat for Putin in Western politics tonight. I suppose he can console himself with thoughts of Farage’s projected success next month.
He really does believe that the American public are stupid!
went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted
Every vote for a strong Hungary was a vote for a strong EU, and a vote against Putin, and against Trump.
Outstanding work, people of Hungary!
What’s next?
Magyarország Európát választotta.
Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta.
Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára.
Az Unió erősebbé válik.
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Let’s just enjoy the good news for one day
