It's ironic, Americans left because of the monarchy and now wish we would follow the example of the monarchy set out today.

For all my country's manifold problems, I am very grateful to live in a place where even the very rich and powerful are not beyond the long arm of the law.
Not even the late Queen's favourite son.
Look on and weep America.

Labour is lifting half a million children out of poverty.
Reform wants to put them straight back there.

Virtually every time Reform gets mentioned now it's almost invariably a failed ex Tory talking - this really doesn't look good for Reform.
People will increasingly look at their shadow cabinet & just get Deja Vu thinking it's the Tories all over again - which it is

They want to replace the manual labor jobs of the immigrants that they disappeared with our children.
It’s been their plan all along.
My dad picked cotton as a child from the time he could walk and hold a cotton sack so that I wouldn’t have to.
We are not going back.

Florida AG James Uthmeier: "We need to focus on getting people into the workforce even earlier. We passed legislation last year to help high school students get their hands dirty and get on job sites more quickly."

Robert Jenrick has been named as Chancellor in the new Reform government. Try this analogy: you take your car to a garage for repair and the guy fixes it by pouring sand into the oil. You have to have another car, so you buy one and take it to a garage for a service. There is the guy with the sand.

Notice how Trump never sues anyone for calling him a Pedophile? It's because Discovery before a trial would reveal that Trump is indeed a Pedophile. Now, is DeSantis a Pedophile? Let's see if he sues on this.

The fact that Reform want people to have more kids and also want to end working from home shows how incoherent their world view is.

NYT: President Trump has engaged in a spree of self-aggrandizement unlike any of his predecessors, fostering a mythologized superhuman persona and making himself the inescapable force at home and around the world.
"Inescapable buffoon" would be the correct phrasing.

Dear UK media,
If you’re going to fall for Farage’s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but he’s lying about the stats too.
It’s dangerous and dishonest.
Please say so.
Thanks

Farage is clearly misleading the public.
The main reason that net migration fell by 445,000 (year to June 2025 it was 205k, having been 649k a year before) is that immigration fell by 401,000.
The BBC should fact-check/verify and report that this was untrue.
