Trump is seeking to undermine British and European democracy and anyone who takes the money and does his bidding should be called out fir what they are
Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

And don't forget Nazzi Farridge is mentioned in them
In the Epstein files are references to a 9 year old girl from Brazil. References to some hideous things. Those men remain anonymous.
One thing I know is not one of those references is Keir Starmer.
Yet our media think Epstein will get rid of our PM because … bad decision

And his drunken acolytes will lap it up slagging off anyone who says they won't be voting for the fascist scum.
So Farage would reinstate the 2 child benefit cap if he became PM just to knock a paltry 5 p (.2%) off a pint of beer for his moronic followers..
Rather than BBC/MSM challenge him over the economic & social impact of plunging children & families into poverty to please boozers

Why not just evict the USA Forces from the UK full stop?
Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.
The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years.
BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report.
Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

ICE is now openly intimidating peaceful observers for daring to speak. This is what unchecked power sounds like when it knows the public is watching. Silence is the goal.
Call every senator & demand they take action.
