President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"

Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

Attacking the BBC for bias while letting GB News, a massively loss making fake news channel, set the news agenda on behalf of their billionaire owner and backers. Every presenter on there is a disingenuous, unpatriotic grifter. And yet they set the agenda.

The Trump Administration is now pushing Brits to watch GB News instead of the BBC. The Far Right are trying to seize this moment of chaos in British media.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

i do not understand how 'mainstream' politicians, political parties, government departments, public institutions and EU bodies still use twitter as the default social media

if these move elsewhere, journalists will have to follow

staying there props up this creep's project of hatred and racism

So Nigel Farage, who spent a huge chunk of his speech today attacking plans to raise even the slightest of taxes on the wealthy, thinks one of the biggest problems facing the UK is that young people on the minimum wage are being paid too much
