Trump vs Bruce Springsteen

Scum

This 👇🏼

🚨🌱 The Chancellor is reviewing all public spending from scratch. Please join me in signing the @campaignforthearts.org petition to remind the UK Govt: the arts make our lives happier & our communities stronger. Now is the moment to invest in them. www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/sp...

Excellent

This is leadership, Starmer…..

How many illegal foreign donations will Trump collect this week? 🤔

1 in 5 of the UK’s care workforce have a non-British passport. Starmer would have us believe these carers are the “squalid” result of a “failed experiment”. I say they do vital, necessary, humane, skilled work and they are worth their weight in gold.

It’s grotesque.

How far right is Starmer prepared to go!

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

Disgusting

TRump’s grasp of history is tenuous.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Haven’t seen this reported widely.

Late, but credit for facing facts rather than turning a blind eye like most of our politicians.

Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Mayoral Candidate for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, threatening legal action against a constituent for sharing a public video of Nigel Farage. Crazy.

Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo

Dumb, dumber and dumbest

This 👇🏼

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party officially classified as an "extremist" organisation - promoting hatred of minorities, threat to democracy. Nigel Farage backed and campaigned for AfD. Spoke alongside a politician who once said police should be able to shoot at refugees.

Yup, that’s right. Chase Reform. Legitimise them. Punch down. Brag about cruelty. Abandon values. Lose elections to Reform. Rinse. Repeat. 🙄

On past experience, very likely😀

Oooh, to all those good US folk on Bluesky... check out the Bylines Network for some high quality, genuinely independent citizen journalism. I love what they do here in UK, and I'm sure these articles giving a voice to concerned Americans at such a challenging time will be well worth a read. 🙂👍

Ed Balls say Labour, Tories, Reform & LibDems all think the deal on offer to bin workers is a good deal & they should accept it. Hes telling us more about UK politics than he means to here @unitesharon.bsky.social has to explain to him that having your pay slashed isn't a good deal #GMB

because they don't see palestinians as fully human

This is straight up nazi shit. The nazis published propaganda on Jewish crime. If this were blackcrimeuk or immigrantcrimeuk everyone would see it for the bigoted shit that it is.

In court. At state funerals. He’s luck really, he can sleep anywhere.💤

Apparently there will be no further funding from Starmer for pay rises for NHS staff and teachers. Imagine if public sector pay had increased like MP pay 👇. They’ve had 12 pay rises since 2010! www.statista.com/statistics/3...

Western media outlets repeatedly fail to even cover genocidal statements by Israeli leaders. That's despite these statements revealing Israel's genocidal intent. This is known as 'lying by omission' 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/bomb-gazas...
