Fine with ex-prince Andrew testifying in Epstein investigation. But the only reason Starmer is kicking him is because he is already down.
Because there's another guy who needs to testify, isn't there? You know, the guy who presided over 'paedophile auctions'.
The guy...in the White House.

Nothing to see here... Just the president of the United States presiding over a pedophile 'auction'.
And people actually voted for this monstrosity and still defend him...So many.
A calamitous moral failing that should never be forgotten or forgiven.

There have been many journalists arrested in the US before. I'm one of them.
This is still very different. Lemon wasn't arrested as part of a mass of arrests of people surrounding a protest as it was happening and released (as I was). Lemon is being re-arrested for having covered a protest.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The White House distancing itself from Gestapo Greg and Noem or one reason only: they fear the backlash to the Pretti murder will harm them politically.
But they are all implicated. They all smeared Pretti, just as they smeared Renee Good.
Cruel, dishonest, cowards the lot of them.

Not at all surprised to find Mosley-Farage echoing White House lies re the execution of Alex Pretti. And also denying that Trump was referring to Brits with his NATO smear.
Farage has his head so far up Trump's arse, it's a wonder he doesn't pop out of his mouth.

Obama: killing was a 'tragedy'
Mamdani: killing was murder.
I believe Mamdani.
Mamdani: killing was murder.
I believe Mamdani.
Mamdani: "I call it murder because, after watching those videos, there is no other possible conclusion." What we have seen in Minneapolis from ICE is horrific. Americans are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their ears. People want the truth.

Magnificent and moving resistance to Trump fascism in Minnesota & solidarity with those on the receiving end. Hoping that it continues to spread, and that the lying sadistic scum who murdered and smeared Alex Pretti and Renee Good are toppled...preferably into a jail cell #Minneapolis #Minnesota

ICE murdering 2 people in the same city w/in weeks is the logical consequence of the depraved white nationalist politics of this admistration
This isn't 'authoritarianism'. It's raw fascistic thuggery.
Solidarity with Minneapolis.
Solidarity with all Americans resisting these gangsters.

What the 'quiet diplomacy' people forget:
We are witnessing something unprecedented in history: the self-destruction of a superpower in speeded-up real-time.
All because the US electorate voted for a criminal madman who is also a colossal idiot - and the wrecking ball for a wider movement.

The day after Starmer tries to sanewash Trump the gangster-in-chief trashes Starmer and the UK, with Farage's help.
The rabbits need to stop staring in the headlights.
There is no 'special relationship'. The US (and Farage) are not friends of this country.

Off the scale cowardice from Tapp here. These are people who grovel at Caligula's feet. And please don't tell me this is skilful pursuit of the national interest. It's in no country's national interest to abuse yourself before a predatory gangster state.
Govt minister Mike Tapp refuses to say that the US should not attack Denmark and Greenland.
Moments later he declares that sticking to international law is what we stand for as a country.
