Most Europeans are too naive to realize that Ukrainian soldiers like these are the only thing standing between us and Russian troops.

If we want to avoid fighting Russia inside the EU, we need to support Ukraine more and ensure that Russia is defeated

There’s more to the Epstein Bannon Farage connection than this.

Epstein was actively guiding Bannon how to secretly finance ‘The Movement’ — a right wing pan Europe organisation in concert with Farage — set up by his partner Laure Ferrari

A vulnerable child was groomed and trafficked and then subjected to the most shocking experiences imaginable including the deaths of her babies.

Instead of taking responsibility the British establishment stripped her of her citizenship and dumped her like old rubbish.

Mrs. Sarah tells us how the King sups at least four or five times every week with my Lady Castlemaine; and most often stays till the morning with her, and goes home through the garden all alone privately, and that so as the very centrys take notice of it and speak of it.

as an American who grew up in the midwest and heard this sort of thing about New York and every other big city, I think this is just a universal absurdity. I was told not to walk anywhere in NYC by myself, lest I be mugged. I have yet to be mugged in NYC after many hours of wandering alone.

🔥 And then, after you finally give up and spend +£15k installing the much-pushed "heat pumps", the UK gov will tax them as well.

Unbelievable.

Imagine trying to catch the US Defence Sec, during the short window after "tetchy", because he hasn't drunk enough yet, but before "maudlin", after he's had too much - so that he might read a status report from the battle front of a fkn war.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Ah, that explains it. Still doesn't explain the Wicked advert though.
Oh - the animations in the middle of the London Eye aren’t added to the feed digitally. Instead they set up a small Hologauze projection right in front of the camera so it appears like it’s in the middle of the Eye. Why?! Somehow that’s worse?

I’m a *lot* fed up with the constant gaslighting about what this Labour government has been like.

I’d love a good Labour government. I’d be right behind it - if it stopped the xenophobic bollocks, started treating disabled people with respect etc etc.

Currently, Starmer is Farage’s best recruiter
I am a bit fed up of the constant undermining of a Labour government. Let's start 2026 with some positivity or we will have a Farage 'government' to deal with.
So he’s resigning?

It's official: Bulgaria is in the euro-zone.
An excerpt from an atypically emotional NYE address by the Central Bank governor:
"Thank you, friends. We are home.
This is not a protocol. It is a feeling.
In this sense, the euro is not just an economic solution...

No, it really isn’t. Blair was radical, from the Human Rights Act and FOI, to devolution and spending on the NHS and education.
