We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Genuinely on the look out for sightings of Conservatives - MPs, present or past, commentators - who are as outspoken in their solidarity with Ukraine today as they were when doing so carried no potential penalty in getting on the wrong side of Maga.

Western imperialism is the main evil on a global scale. It's not just global violence - like Iraq and Palestine - which is deadlier than its rivals. The West replaced its murderous system of colonialism with a global economic system rigged in its interests.

Just to be clear - if Rupert Lowe had had his way, not a single Jewish child would have been saved from the gas chambers by the UK. None of Farage’s Huguenot ancestors would have been allowed to come here. Escapees from Stalin would have been sent back to face the KGB.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

I'd say the biggest forces "undermining our nation from within" are the fake patriots loudly cheering on these attacks on our country by a hostile foreign government

FFS. BBC Breakfast has just called Trump's proposed takeover of Gaza "controversial". No. It's ethnic clensing. It's illegal, unprecidented, and breaches the Geneva Convention. It's not controversial, it's despicable.

Nazi salutes in week one. State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four. But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about ‘over-reaction’ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Call it what it is. Trump is explicitly stating he wants to forcibly displace Palestinians. As per the Genocide Convention, this is an absolute call for genocide by the United States President. This isn't a matter you "debate". It is something you condemn, no questions asked. #r4today

My experience of him - Starmer sending grumpy texts - is the same as Owen's. And Starmer's 180 degree pivots suggest he is an empty vessel to be filled (a point I made on James O'Brien's podcast years back). And anyone with eyes can see how far right he has moved. In short, Owen has it right.

So Trump and Netanyahu are openly planning the ethnic cleansing of Gaza/Palestine. And the western media just nods along - including, shamefully, BBC News.

George Monbiot sums up the BBC perfectly.

Horrific. The UK is actively paticipating in this genocide and enabling and encouraging the deliberate murder of many thousands of children bhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/02/surgeon-gaza-children-britain-sniper-fire-drones-labour-arms-israel

What a cruel fraud the right is funding, with the help of our malignant or clueless media, presenting trans women, who reality reveals to be so often the victims of violence, as its perpetrators.

If The Times want to ask where this rhetoric came from they can ask Sarah Ditum what she meant by her 'the trans rights movement is like the parasitic pedophile rights movement' article they published last week.
