Macron made Trump “the first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that ally” www.huffpost.com/entry/lawren...

❗❗❗ former leader of Reform UK in Wales has appeared in court accused of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia, a court has heard www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

President Donald Trump and his defence secretary Pete Hegseth have both claimed the US has provided Ukraine with more than $300 billion in support. But it’s not clear what that’s based on. We’ve delved into the numbers 🔍

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Superb

High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow another £3bn. Already has £17bn debt, mostly to fund dividends, wants 53% price hike. Nearly a third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise at nominal price.

Rachel Reeves is all for growth; her party and the country needs it. But still we hear nothing about the most obvious solution… www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Might as well save this to post it a million times lol

I will just community note this Ben Habib is an immigrant himself.

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA. He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress. And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers. The buck stops with him.

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Upskirting carries a sentence of up to two years in prison. Nigel Farage's nephew has just pleaded guilty and only been fined. So that's what Farage meant by two-tier policing!

Ooh.

Thames Water credit rating slashed to negative, administration looms. £23bn assets in urgent need of repair. Uses obsolete technology. £15bn+ debt, money borrowed to pay dividends, no new reservoir since 1989, dumps sewage in rivers. Must be no public bailout www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Farage insisting that he has an inside track to Trump while also not getting invited to the swearing in is bang on brand. As, sadly, is the fact that his dishonesty & humiliation will be ignored by much of the media.

Social media posts are claiming President Trump has signed an executive order removing capital gains tax on US-based cryptocurrencies. But there has been no such executive order signed by Mr Trump since his inauguration .

FT: Boris Johnson failed to provide citation for Evgeny Lebedev peerage That time The Guardian observed, "Italy ‘was monitoring Lebedev villa at time of Boris Johnson visit’"

Rolling Stone gets it right

Lord Anderson, "Would the minister agree that any benefits from a trade deal with the US is a fraction of what we have lost from leaving the European Union under Brexit" Lord Leong, "The US is our single largest trading partner" Not true 42% of UK trade with the EU, 15% with the US

Isabel Oakeshott who spent years complaining of immigrants coming to the UK and not speaking English Has moved to Dubai, where she's an immigrant, and doesn't speak Arabic 🤷‍♂️

Isabel Oakeshott hates immigrants so much she became one and moved to Dubai.

The Great Energy Ripoff. And still it continues.

Donald Tusk, "I am aware this is a dream of mine" "That instead of Brexit, we will have a Breturn" "Perhaps I am labouring under an illusion. I'd rather be an optimist and harbour these dreams in m heart. Sometimes they come true in politics"

Tories will consider means testing pension triple-lock, Badenoch says. UK state pension is one of the lowest in OECD countries. It is the only/main source of income for majority of pensioners. Tory plan to impoverish/kill pensioners; won't tax the rich. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Keir Starmer dropping "they crashed the economy" at #PMQs just to trigger Liz Truss - she may have to do another letter

Left: Kemi Badenoch says the OBR did not find a black hole Right: The OBR's chief says there was a black hole in Jeremy Hunt's budget

All eyes on Spike Milligram himself

So if Donald Trump didn't win in 2024 he would be going to prison for his failed coup. That is where the USA is at.

92 year old sub post mistress Betty Brown, "Instead of the words, do what you should do" "Never mind all the jabber and the white washing, we want action" "Let's hope he realises.. How would he like someone to do to him what they have done to us"

Reeves defends China visit, hails £600m UK investment over next 5 yrs. What? Can get £100bn boost by joining the EU HMRC failed to collect £500bn tax since 2010 Can boost economy by equitable distribution of income/wealth, but not on govt agenda. Need policy change www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

2016: Nigel Farage says MEPS have "never done a proper job in your life" 2025: The people of Clacton must be proud that their MP who doesn't hold in person surgeries, like every other MP in the country, manages to find time for nine jobs

Poor Nigel Farage - losing $100m and 25% of his council seats in the same week.

Exactly. Why indeed?

So Reform Ltd have gained 7 councillors, and will lose 12. A net loss of 5 counsellors, and they claim to be “surging“. :-)
