BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

Elon Musk does a Nazi salute. Trump advocates ethnic cleansing. Judges sacked, the state gutted, JD Vance pushing the AfD and Trump now playing footsie with Putin. Now Steve Bannon does his own fascist salute. It’s hard to deny the fascist trajectory of the US administration x.com/josheakle/st...

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

There you have it. Outright denial of climate science by Reform UK. Via Politico: "Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice has told Sky that the scientific view that human activity is the main cause of climate change is “absolute garbage.”" This should be treated like denying gravity exists...

More Trumpian-Muskian nonsense from UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch: "A country cannot be successful if its people and intellectual elite don’t believe in it. This means dealing with the poisoning of minds through higher education." The direction of travel for the Tories has now been set.

While a real war wages in Ukraine, Badenoch focuses on her petty culture war. A deeply unserious politician in very serious times. Richly deserved electoral oblivion cannot come soon enough.

Just arrived in Paris for crucial talks. Europe’s security is at a turning point. Yes, it is about Ukraine—but it is also about us. We need an urgency mindset. We need a surge in defense. And we need both of them now.

It is very simple. There is no nuance here. If you are defending or in the Donald Trump camp with regards to Ukraine. You are on the side of dictators, fascists and Neo Nazis. You are going against your own country. Defending Ukraine 🇺🇦 is defending Britain. 🇬🇧

Donald Trump has sent out a letter banning everyone from calling him a felon with instant dismissal for all who disobey. But he can't fire us. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon. Donald Trump is a Felon.

It’s not politics as usual - and pretending that it is just makes us look weak and scared, with little agency and no self-conviction.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... What’s worrying is that the news is so distressing that now ppl are so disillusioned/anxious that even those who are politically informed are not watching/reading the news. Soon they’ll be a vacuum for anything to happen, because there won’t be the outcry

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Closer regulatory alignment will not only save costs for British and EU businesses. Over time, it could help the UK recover between a quarter and a half of the economic hit of Brexit to UK GDP.
