IS AMERICA PARALYSED?
Short answer - YES!
What a shitshow! And the great American constitution allows a man who’s a convicted felon, a rapist and a fraudster to stand for president?
Why should we be surprised that he’s on the brink of starting WW3?
Do something, America!

Well, the Liverpool attacker who drove his car into kids appears to be a Farage, Tate & Musk fanboy.
Wonder if he voted Reform?
As he’s white The Mail depicts him as a middle class dad who lived in a cul de sac and must’ve “panicked in the moment”. If he’d been brown the far right would’ve rioted

IF YOU COULD GET RID OF £100 BILLION OF UNNECESSARY COST YOU’D DO IT, WOULDN’T YOU?
Of course you would, but not our Keir. He’s sticking with a hard Brexit we can’t afford, but WHY?
For some crazy reason he’s more afraid of the shrinking Leave minority than the growing Rejoin majority.
Daft!

Come on Starmer and Reeves, no cuts to budgets. How would that promote growth? Remember your Labour background and values?
