No British prime minister has discarded their claimed beliefs and policies so comprehensively or so swiftly.

The biggest political conman of our age.

Those backing the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans visiting Birmingham were smeared as antisemites.

Then Tel Aviv police banned the city's derby after riots.

This whole saga is defined by lies and smears.

Here's the truth 👇

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.
👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

This is because the UK has no Mental Healthcare, if you have tried to use it in the last 5 years you find it is just an endless queue to a revolving door that kicks you out.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot
The rights we enjoy in the UK, and the movement the PM purports to lead, were built on protest. Those rights are in dire peril, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Woahhhhhh.

A poll that shows the Greens surging to 15% - and just 2 points behind the Labour party.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.
Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

One from the archives. Back in January BBC News apologised for the error of calling Israeli hostages 'prisoners'.

But they never apologise for calling the thousands of Palestinian hostages 'prisoners', do they? Of course they don't because that's not an error, its deliberate.
