Not serious? She’s hilarious

This is what Reform and Nigel Farage support.

We also know Nigel Farage lies to save his own skin.

Oh that’s wonderful!

"No state visit has been confirmed yet." 👀

You're probably going to miss this unless you'd been married to a sociopath like I was, but the real tell is not the expedient lie, it's the *pointless* lie. Everybody lies to protect themselves or shore up their self image; the dangerous people are the ones who embellish reflexively, for no reason.

Yes indeed. Fascinating piece.

‘we tend to confuse confidence for competence’

Oh boy yes

I think we need to get real about the possibility that, for millennia, twisted assumptions about leadership have put us at the mercy of psychopaths.

Even knowing some of this stuff already, this piece still shocks

Thank you for trying to help these young people. Affecting my family 😔

The #BBCNewsatTen played two clips from this speech, but not this one. Protecting Trump?

What IS up with Marco Rubio’s shoes?!!!

I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.

Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

Reuters: ‘!! TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WEIGHING FURTHER EASING OF RUSSIA OIL SANCTIONS AMID PRICE SURGE - SOURCES’

Hello, hell no.

First of all, this war is illegal.

Secondly, if a war is illegal, there's no legal jurisdiction for a draft.

It's a war of choice, a vanity war, and there's no way in hell you're sending America's sons and daughters to fight, just to cover your pedophile ring.

What did Jack Dorsey mean by ‘ideology’?

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage would’ve had us helping the US bomb schoolgirls and helped Israel drop phosphorus bombs on Lebanon.

But, rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club, according to multiple people briefed on the matter They said Farage had hoped he would be able to catch Trump for a conversation as the US president was scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that evening. However, Trump had a change in his itinerary and decided to stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s drive away The Reform leader's failure to secure an audience with the US president underscores a weakening of ties between the two populist leaders who famously formed a close friendship in the vears before and after the 2016

Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

during the oil/gas crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraime it was striking how some right-wingers tried to gaslight the public into believing the *biggest* problem with their soaring bills (at the time) was green levies rather than the oil/gas price going through the roof

Morning Star attacks Starmer for slavish backing of Trump. Daily Mail attacks Starmer for not supporting Trump.

I’d say he’s got it, bang on!

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Putin gets:

High oil prices,
Loosening of sanctions,
An EU that's weaker politically and economically,
An Iranian client state that's even more dependent on him,
A US military rapidly depleting its smart munitions,
A global surge in anti-Americanism.

Quite a haul. Even Israel can't match it.

This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.

Listening to this is two minutes well-spent.

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community Two brothers who were recognized by their congresswoman last year, along with their parents and younger brother, are facing deportation.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Britain is in a deep structural economic hole thanks to austerity, Brexit and global shocks that is nearly impossible to get out of. It is rather unfair to expect government to reverse those long-term drags on national prosperity, but it needs to start explaining to voters why we are where we are.

I tend to keep quiet about The Wire because I could never understand what was going on even though I’m practically half American 🤭
