Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

BREAKING: Starmer attacks Far Right & Elon Musk.

In a pointed comment on Musk, the PM calls out those “so desperate for attention, they’re prepared to debase themselves & their country.”

at last Keir Starmer hits back at Musk attacks:

“I enjoy the cut and trust of politics, the robust debate that we must have but that has got to be based on facts and truth, not on lies, not on those who are so desperate for attention that they are prepared to debase themselves and their country.”

People who go fox hunting are terrible. No exceptions. Probably the worst people (in my experience) are the ones who try to normalise it by saying ‘but I live in the country, it’s different’. No it’s not. Stop it.
