The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

BBC NEWS “In the last few hours Russia has begun targeting major British cities with an army of nuclear drones, but we’re interrupting coverage of the attack because Nigel Farage has just farted after eating an enormous ploughman’s lunch.”

Farage pretends to support Welsh steel. Meanwhile, his mate Trump is hitting the UK with brutal tariffs that target our steel industry. Nigel backs Trump all the way, then claims to stand with the workers paying the price. 🤦‍♂️

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

Gov. Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to CA following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

More of this, please. Glendale, CA just canceled its agreement with ICE to house undocumented immigrants taken into custody after pressure from activists who said it violated sanctuary laws.

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The President of the US just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. “I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

A gay man, who died by suicide as a result of his sexuality, made one of the single biggest contributions to espionage and ending WW2 years earlier than would have otherwise been the case. Alan Turing is only one of hundreds of examples as to why the intelligence services should support Pride.

Reforms Richard Tice MP cares passionately about people going cold… So passionately he put millions £’s into a Tax Avoidance Scheme so he wouldn’t pay tax that could be used to support pensioners and the disabled with heating❗️😡 You simply can’t but benevolence like that 🤷🏼‍♂️

Did ICE deliberately set out to recruit truly vile amoral people or are we seeing Nazi guard syndrome here? Where ordinary people turn rotten given a set of circumstances that encourage it. What do they think when they get home at night?
