My theory is that Trump decided a week ago to declare war on Venezuela in a televised national address, but then got talked out of it by cooler heads and decided to keep the valuable airtime

Cry more Patel 😂 Calling Erasmus a “betrayal” is thick, bitter Tory bollocks. It’s a student exchange, not a coup. The Tories smashed it out of spite, then cry treason when Labour fixes it. Screaming Brexit at kids with backpacks just proves how empty, angry and brain-dead Tory politics are.

It's been nearly 24 hours and Keir Starmer has not yet condemned the awful comments made by Mike Tapp.

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.

Completely, terrifyingly innocent.

And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.

Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:

"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."

All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading.

Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per.

It’s extraordinary but not shocking that it isn’t seen as a massive story that one of the most senior politicians in Farage’s party was an active Russian agent for pay, asking questions in the European Parliament on the Kremlin’s behalf, organising pro-Russian events.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Farage and Badenoch want to quit the ECHR. It would remove our protections. It would place the UK alongside Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and international law.

It is what traitors would do.

Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant".

Let's keep on sharing this. It's what Farage deserves.

Why are our hapless British politicians incapable of making such a speech? And why does our news media hide these truths?
