This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally.

Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.

Come on now… who hasn’t resorted to a bit of electoral cheating when they’ve lost so many times before? It’s just someone being vindictive (again). Honest to god, why can’t everyone leave poor little racist Nige alone to lie and grift his way into No.10?

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.
No one’s held to account.
No one’s fallen on their sword.
No one’s got the guts to really speak out.
So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.

👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

I don’t want Farage to apologise. Because he wouldn’t mean it. We know he doesn’t care about the harm he does.
I want him to carry on with his denials, accusations and tantrums. Let people see what Nigel really is; angry, thin-skinned and racist.

“The Americans are being played,” British historian Sir Antony Beevor told Sky News.

He says Putin is manipulating the White House and views Trump as a “useful idiot” advancing Moscow’s goals, especially on Ukraine.

And "Putin despises Trump"

ICE masks MAGAts
And they do it all while being masked. In the past they could’ve died from carbon dioxide because of walking in a store wearing one for 5 minutes. But now they can wear one all day while body slamming women and priests…

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the UK taxpayer £10.9bn.

VIP lanes and crony contracts.

Lack of anti-fraud controls in Covid scheme.
Money handed out for non-existent employees
Newly formed companies got public money
No competitive tenders
Poor checks on quality.

How much would be recovered?
Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion
The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open'

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is.

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision

If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?

When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?
