Trump: β€˜When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money’.

Thousands killed, children orphaned, infrastructure destroyed, UN emasculated to enable US companies to make bigger profits - capitalism thrives on destruction.

Trillions of atoms, billions of years of human evolution and the world got Trump.

The full picture looks even more like a ghastly shadow of the Stars and Stripes than does the zoomed-in one.

Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Hegseth and Trump’s monstrous cult bombed a school murdering children. Not a single word or remorse or regret has passed their lips, just denial and distraction.

What sort of monsters are they?

We are still short of people to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections, so if you are a racist, an ex-con, a horrible twat or even just a bit thick and gullible, we'd like to hear from you.

The scars of winter
on the skin of spring.

Maybe you’ve noticed that I write less about the war.
I do.
All I want now is to take long walks, study art and culture, write, and take photos, improving my skills.

The war hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s me who has stepped into spring.

After a widespread public consultation, 60% of people voted to see nature on our bank notes. But why let that stop me stirring up my moron base by pretending it's the Bank of England being woke.

Nigel Farage breaks with his Welsh leader over insurance system for the NHS Reform UK’s Welsh leader Dan Thomas told POLITICO he would rule out moving to an insurance-based system after Nigel Farage said it would be a β€œnational decision ahead of a general elect…

What a spectacle of incoherence.

Reform’s Welsh leader promises not to go down the NHS/insurance route…while Farage keeps that option open for the rest of us. Probably because he’s already committed to selling us out.

Corruption and betrayal nailed on with this lot.
