Richard Tice during an interview "Keir Starmer literally used the words: take up arms and go for the enemy"

What a lemon

Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that.

Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot.

Make your mind up.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Donald Trump's UK State Visit Diary

"Greeted by Viscount Hood. Never heard of him but he bows low enough. Introduced to a man called Andrew. Can’t place him. He asks if I’ve seen the hologram of Epstein flickering on the walls. Melania says he’s projecting."

This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
