tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to the Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat. "I totally support his strategy". Machado said. "And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary".

An Instagram post from Shabana Mahmood, with a photo of met police officers with a screenshot of a tweet in front of it. tweet reads: "The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to this nation. I thank the police who worked hard to ensure much of today's protest was peaceful. But I condemn those who have attached and injured police officers. Anyone taking part in criminal activity will face the full force of the law"

New immigration minister Mike Tapp has been out and about on the morning broadcast rounds, no doubt hoping to end up with a different nickname from the one he'd been given by the local reporters covering him hitherto - Mike Crapp.

Picture of Farage smiling (?) with the caption "shouting from the sidelines" next to a picture of Starmer looking serious with the caption "removed over 35,000 people from the UK with no right to be here"

delusional stuff!
The radicalisation of working class people towards the far right is the strategic problem – meaning that a left wing party that wants to govern has to do three things: Unite progressives around a common set of social objectives, so that we can start delivering redistributive justice to the communities where fascism is growing; Defend the rights of minorities, by restoring trust in democracy and damping down the rhetoric of hate and extremism that is trying to consume society And reach out into the communities where social conservatism and despair are growing with sensible, redistributive policies designed to win them away from Reform. That’s what Labour actually did on 4 July 2024. It took the battle into small working class towns in the north and Midlands – something that the Corbyn/Sultana Party has no intention of doing (and neither do the Greens).

just a ludicrous throbber
John Harrison tweet "Be interested to know what percentage of those aged 60 and over arrested for supporting Palestine Action (50% of all arrests) were put supporting CND & unilateral nuclear disarmament back in the day. Events have shown that was tosh (ask Ukraine). Being old doesn't make you right (speaking as a boomer)." George Carty reply "I wonder how many of them had a Che Guevara poster when they were teenagers"

"And I stand by every word of that. I did not realise it was taken from Enoch Powell. That was my concern about it. But the basic argument, which is, we must get control of immigration, the basic argument that we need a cohesive society, an integrated society, where we can walk towards the future as one country, as neighbours and communities together. That does really matter to me"

No, stick around! I was just telling this mad lot a few bits of science that they won't hear from their so-called professors. Don't worry guys, this gent knows the score - though I hear he's still drinking the tap water so we can't be 100% sure about him can we lads ha ha! [The students LAUGH AT ME]

These are Starmer's own words

"Taken from Enoch Powell"
And I stand by every word of that. I did not realise it was taken from Enoch Powell. That was my concern about it.

🤔
And that’s the paradox about this prime minister. So much of him is this very ordinary family man and yet so many people see him as not just overly serious but out of touch. He loves his wife and children, has real friends and is a “proper” Arsenal fan who enjoys a beer and a curry. He comes from a working-class background, has no time for show-offs and shares the low opinion of voters about a lot of what goes on in politics. All of which should make him more capable of fitting into the contours of his country than any privately educated, pint-posing populist.
