To any decent person it’s not surprising that the Fagash Fuhrer has racist and anti semitic views but what is astonishing are that the idiotic Reform cult members rushing to defend him.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

We can all pretend Trump and Vance are some sort of inspired geniuses. Or we can see two soft bullies haranguing a man who has been fighting a war to save his country for three years.

President Trump has always come across as a modest & gentle man hugely respected for his good sense & kind manners.
To be interrupted & then insulted by French President Macron is upsetting to see.😢
Let’s hope Mr Starmer shows more civility & respect.

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine.

It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

Just 10% of Labour voters say we were right to leave the EU, and just 9% think Brexit has gone well. That means 90% of those who voted for this government in 2024 are OPPOSED to Brexit. (And that's without Labour even mentioning the benefits of EU or Single Market membership for 8+ years!)

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.
Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

Don't let Elon Musk make Nigel Farage look moderate by comparison.

Both are trading off the exact same politics of hate. The only difference between them is that while Farage judged it would be bad for his career to associate with a criminal thug like Tommy Robinson, Musk is too far gone to care
