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.

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.
Whatever you do,
It was the fuck aroundest of times, it was the find outest of times🤣

As a desi, I’m fascinated by the Indians who caped hard for Trump. Many of them seem to have felt insulated by their wealth and success—the “model minority”—only to now realize that a lot of MAGA hates them. @ashwinrodrigues.com reports: www.wired.com/story/maga-i...
TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo:
“weak on crime”
“terrible for foreign policy”
“catering to the Radical Left”
“owes his position to me”
“sit down and mind your own business”
POPE LEO, unbothered:
“We are called to love.”
he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare
Damn girl are you a price tag on the bottom of a coffee mug? Cause I can't seem to get you off
Now that’s how you “fuck you!” 😅
Etkili Haber Yeni Sayfa TKIL ABE! @etkilihaberyeni Ø Translated from Turkish Show original New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time and made shocking statements: -We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth. -We will nationalize the assets given to businesspeople and foundations during the Orbán era. -The Mathias Corvinus Collegium Foundation, close to Orbán, was transferred 10% of MOL (oil company) and Gedeon Richter (pharmaceutical company) for free. We will take back these shares.
-After 16 years of the Orbán era, 400,000 Hungarian children in this country are living in deep poverty. -President Sulyok is no longer the president of this country in my eyes or in the eyes of the people. -(In response to the host asking about his meeting with Zelensky as a counterpoint) I get your joke, and l even like it. But your references no longer carry any meaning. -According to you, Germany has collapsed, there's no internet there, people aren't even having sex. The Hungarian people were laughing at you. -It was said on this channel that even my young children won't talk to me, when in fact my children live with me.
-(When the host interrupted him) No host in this studio ever dared to interrupt Hungary's most corrupt and most lying prime minister. -(When asked about the legal basis for closing the news service) For someone on this channel to accuse me of breaking the law looks like a thief accusing the police.
What we wanted was for Keir Starmer to go on Kuenssberg the day after the election and do this

It’s not just selfish -it’s a complete breach of the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 when the US and others encouraged Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for these countries guaranteeing Ukraine’s borders.
The US is duty-bound to assist in Ukraine’s defence or its promises mean nothing.
It's not only groceries and fuel that are through the roof, healthcare is unaffordable because of Trump and MAGA Republicans cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. The war in Iran that no one wants is costing us billions of dollars daily. Americans want to fund #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar
Not sure who needs to see this but...
Our Father Who art in heaven,
Donald be thy Name.
Thy madness come,
Thy Will be done,
In Iran & not in heaven.
Give us this day your daily dread.
And forgive us our trespasses
As you trespass against us.
And lead us not into Epstein,
But deliver us lots of evil.
Amen.🙏🏻
“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.

You see THIS is why supporters of the Far Right are not welcome. You are not one of us. You are one of them. We came into existence precisely to fight against you and everything you represent.
This is who we are. And you are not it.
And never will be.
It’s a feeling.
You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother
This is so well done. 👌
