Communities seeking asylum here - Huguenots, Poles, Jews, Somalis, Ugandans, Syrians, Afghans - have all enriched the UK. They make us what we are. Now Labour intend to terminate centuries of history, pull up the drawbridge and leave us to stagnate in our own bigotry.

What they fail to understand is it’s not ‘the trots’ they’ve pissed off, but millions of their natural supporters. People who actually wanted them to succeed, understood the difficulties they face and were prepared, for a long while, to give them the benefit of the doubt. All squandered.
So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

Thanks to months of pitch rolling, the Labour government has now effectively told anyone paying attention that income tax rises are necessary, but they’re not going to do them because they’re politically weak. Let’s see how that plays!

To be very clear - questions of whether Epstein provided compromising information on Trump to Putin - which then in turn explains Trump’s dangerous subservience to Putin - is back on the table.
Now there are legit questions about whether Epstein was working with/for Putin.

CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.
When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.

So the Telegraph’s “BBC bias dossier” - supposedly written by ex-BBC adviser Michael Prescott - is being used to claim there’s a rogue LGBT+ unit “censoring” gender-critical voices inside the BBC.
Let’s look at what’s actually in it. Spoiler: it’s nothing but recycled transphobic talking points!

Federal agents using unprovoked violence on peaceful protestors and then repeatedly lying about it. The judge has absolutely eviscerated them.
Agents said "hit them" before deploying tear gas, Ellis says, and then they lied about it under oath.
This calls into question their account of everything happening in the Chicago area.
