Reform projected to do brilliantly in mayoral contests IN SHOCKING news many of the people who thought their lives would get better after Brexit are going to be voting for a party led by the man who told them Brexit would solve all Britain's problems. "It just makes sense,” said one voter, whose personal income had been hammered by a drop-off of trade with Europe, by the government having less money to spend and by an overall lack of economic growth. "This guy tells it like it is - he blames someone else and denies all responsibility. We should be punishing the government for not making my life better - and to do that, I'll be voting for someone who has made my life worse." Many thousands of others have decided that they will make a vote to protest against the mainstream, and, in order to register their disapproval, they will vote for a man who's been a professional politician for several decades and earned millions of pounds off the back of it. "This is the way to show those mainstream politicians what's what," said one voter, casting a ballot for arguably the most influential British politician of the last three decades. "This will turn everything round."

On the eve of the #localelections thank you @privateeyenews.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the weapons-grade, rock-solid, brain-melting idiocy of voting for Farage and Reform…

This is a must-read for our American friends.

It isn't Farage or Reform that are the threat to UK democracy, it's the right wing media, including the BBC. Without them Farage would be no more than a piss stain in the gents bog.

Wow. This is 🔥🔥

Trump & his Cabinet should be strapped to their chairs and made to watch this on a loop.

He beautifully trashes JD Vance too.

What Just Happened with Trump’s Tariffs? A deep dive into the chaotic logic behind Trump’s global tariffs—and the real-world damage they’re already doing.

Emma Monk - a good fun blog!

“The Heard and McDonald Islands haven’t had a visitor since 2016, let alone any trade! They were still hit with a 10% tariff! But Norfolk Island (pop, 2,188), an Australian territory that doesn’t trade with the US got a 29% hit!

Trump has turned his back on the foundation of US economic might What made the US step back from the system that it profited handsomely from for decades?

1/ This is excellent from @faisalislam.bsky.social on the Trump trade fiasco.

Well worth 10 mins of your day as it discusses 2 very different world views

Is Trump really aiming at funding US public spending substantially from tariff income? 🤣

The A to Z of Trump's Tariff Travesty I wrote it like a primer so maybe our Dear Leader will understand it

I tried to make a little list of the things Trump & Co. do not understand about tariffs, trade, markets, economics, history or the way the world works. It quickly became a big list. But I wrote down in primer form in the hopes our Dear Leader will understand it. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Another picture we should post incessantly.

He is old
Here's incompetent

He is feeble minded

He has incredibly poor judgment

He is a narcissist and sociopath

There is literally not a shred of rationality to what he is doing. There is no point looking for it. It is not there to be found.

This is a must read.

Trump surely must know this? Therefore, he doesn't care. He sees himself as 'king' of the world and crazed on the power. Perhaps it's revenge for the way he's been treated in the US courts. G7 (minus the US) needs to convene and take bold counter measures.

Sir, Trump has offered the UK better terms than the EU to drive a wedge between Britain and Europe. We must not play his game. If we do not stand shoulder to shoulder with the EU, it will become even harder to trade with the vast market on our doorstep. When Britain applies to rejoin the EU, as we surely will, this solidarity will count in our favour. Angus McGeoch Goring-on-Thames

Govt may be relieved that UK faces lower Trump tariffs than others but it’s a trap.
A deal with the unreliable lunatic means lowering standards, betraying our farmers and undermining trust and compatibility for any EU reset which is far more valuable to us. Let’s not fuck this up too.

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
