NATO does not exist for Trump’s use & abuse.

But he’s already won. And he doesn’t need any help. He literally said so.

The IDF are evil. We should have nothing to do with Israel. Its not controlled by the Jewish people any more. Its controlled by a bunch of murdering despots.

"Should we all be racist now?"

Iceland looks to fast-track vote on joining EU A referendum on resuming membership talks had been expected in 2027, but could come as early as this August.

So then... here's some good news!

Urge Your MP to Attend the Debate on the EU Referendum Anniversary Nearly a decade after the 2016 referendum, the effects of Brexit are no longer theoretical. They are visible in the economy, in pressures on public finances, and in the UK’s changing role…

It’s really easy to write to your MP and ask them to attend:

Starmer faces questions over visit to Palantir office alongside Mandelson Former ambassador was also shareholder in lobbying group that counted US tech firm as a client

New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

Want to say something about #Trump's racism... but just don't know what to say.

If you're an American, and you're not actively trying to remove him, you're responsible for turning the USA into a fascist state. A state where racism has returned to being normal.

Democratic Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has officially called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment.

💥 GOOD.

Because that £240 million contract gifted to Palantir, with no competition…

…after Starmer had an off-the-books meeting with Mandelson and Palantir…

…while Mandelson was officially LOBBYING FOR Palantir and so personally financially benefiting from such links and contracts…

Stinks.

The Home Office says nearly 60,000 illegal migrants and convicted criminals have been removed or deported since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister – the highest figure in over a decade trib.al/zjqB3Ui

How about Burham's duty of candour? What were his real motivations? He has fermented the latest divisions in Labour by forcing a decision which never needed to have been taken. And if he pleads ignorance of the fact that he was very likely to be refused, he is either lying, or stupid.

Are you filled with righteous anger about Donald Trump's fascism in the States? Good, but not enough. Now, make it your personal responsibility to ensure Nigel Farage never gets to introduce it here.
