The Trump disbelief that the Norwegian govt doesn't control the Nobel process is deeply indicative of his thinking. He can't conceive that an institution could (or should) be genuinely independent of coercion or political power. That's the change he represents.
Trump: "I should have gotten the Nobel prize for each war...I saved millions and millions of people...and don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots. It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige.“

This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.

If you want more proof that Reform is all talk and posturing read this. For all their big talk about opposing green energy projects in Lincolnshire they didn't even turn up to their own meeting about solar panels. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/07/16/r...
Reform UK slam solar energy – then miss the meeting to stop it
Reform UK say they’re against solar farms. But when it came time to discuss one in Lincolnshire this week, their top councillors on a planning committee didn’t even show up.

"...police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records..."

Reform setting out their priorities in local government - never mind social care, housing or education - just make sure the flag shaggers are happy. Totally unserious.

Part of me wants a decent opposition to hold the Government to account. Another part - a much bigger part - found this highly hilarious!
Badenoch: “The govt is recruiting a new chief inspector of borders, who lives in Finland & wants to WFH, this is not serious”
Starmer: “He was appointed in 2019 by the last govt, he then worked from Finland. He’ll now be working from the UK full time”
