The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written.

And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

I don’t think all conservatives are racists but the ones that aren’t are very quiet and therefore effectively pro-racist
Unsurprising mask-off racism from Nick Timothy here.

Upset at the abolition of the two-child limit - because some of (British) kids who will benefit have (British) parents who are the wrong colour (were born in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia, etc).

I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Brown was forced to apologise to a woman for calling her a bigot.

The very least we should expect is that Nigel Farage apologises for being one.

There's been a definite decline in support for Reform following the Nathan Gill conviction and racism allegations against Farage

Didn’t happen.
Nobody can remember.
Actually, I can remember.
Did happen wasn’t racist.
Was racist wasn’t offensive.
Here’s a possibly made-up letter from a bloke who insists things can only happen if he witnesses them.
As Farage squirms, Peter Ettedgui recalls their schooldays:

Technically, of course, Farage is already boycotting the BBC.

It is alleged that Nigel Farage aged 16-18 (1980-82) vocally objected to the number of Patels at Dulwich College.

A fellow pupil remembers him burning the booklet on these grounds.

The Guardian shows that this witness testimony aligns with the names + stats in the 1980 yearbook

You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion.

This is getting utterly ridiculous now

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

This hasn't had much coverage, amidst all the debate about jury trials, but there is also a lot of concern about Lammy's plans to remove the automatic right to appeal

I wonder what it is about Rachel Reeves that they hate: a woman who went to a comprehensive school, who rose from relatively humble origins to the top and who still speaks with a South London accent. I wonder why they hate her so much. It's a mystery.

In which Pakistan born Ben Habib supports some bigot who wants to ban people born in Pakistan from sitting in our parliament.
The increasingly ludicrous Ben Habib Is arguing that Lucy White's attack on Nus Ghani being an MP is not racist

Ben Habib is now ludicrously supporting a call to ban Ben Habib from parliament!
