I had to check if this was real, but apparently it is. I think we all know who it is that doesn't know what the f*** they're doing.

It's June 24, 2025, and every single one of Daniel Hannan's predictions have turned out to be wildly wrong. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo... But this is Britain, so he's been rewarded for this mendacity with a title and a seat in the legislature for life.

This is an incredible piece of journalism. A modern day parable on the dangers of online and other conspiracies promoted by people who should know better and social media sites who already do but choose to take no responsibility for what they publish. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump won by promising "No new wars" and "Ending the existing war in Ukraine". He's just started one, made the one in Ukraine worse and made working class people around the WORLD poorer with his tariffs. Can we stop voting for these people now please, they make things worse.

Feels like quite a few people have been waiting their whole lives for the moment when being openly racist in print is no longer career ending and are determined to make the most of it.

“And what happens when London’s white British population falls below 20 per cent in 10 years time, as it appears on track to do? Is there some minimum number of natives that a capital requires before it ceases to be the capital?” What was the Standard thinking? www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

Today’s London Standard has a big report on how the capital “isn’t working”. It blames immigrants, especially Muslims, and the lack of “White British”. It asks “if there’s a minimum number of natives” at which London must give it up its status as the UK capital. www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/lond...

Why are Tories suddenly using the term "white british" in debates on immgration and citizenship? www.ft.com/content/aceb...

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

Totally failing to Iive up to the gravity that a moment like a political assassination demands from all sides. As usual, it’s all about him. apnews.com/article/trum...

Have they peaked? I do hope so.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

This is beyond parody. The head of Reform’s “DOGE team”, which is supposed to be identifying local government waste, now wants to hire expensive vanity cameramen to allow Reform politicians to posture online.

Congressmen handcuffed for asking questions, military parades on the president's birthday, troops on the streets, and now progressive politicians being assassinated in their own homes by somebody dressed as law enforcement. This is getting seriously dangerous www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pelosi recently missed being assassinated and her husband was almost killed but mainstream media are so far gone they quickly downplayed the political murder attempts. Now another Dem leader and her husband are dead and still most of what we will hear about tomorrow is the fascist’s parade.

Things in America are very, very dark. So sad to see what’s happening to a country I was brought up to love and respect.

🚨 A Minnesota Senator and a State Representative, both Democrats, have been shot at their homes👇🏼👇🏼😳 Just when you thought #TrumpsUSA couldn’t descend further into anarchy after a Senator was manhandled out of Kirsti Noems Press Conference yesterday for asking a question… This happens 🤦🏼‍♂️

Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.
