No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in the clothes he fought the war in.

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK political groups: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Richard Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK: "If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

Dear @keirstarmer2.bsky.social, Please move the laws around political & campaign financing to the top of your list Or… Expect 1 term that ends in handing power of this country to a foreign billionaire proxy PM and his little puppet Yours, The people of this country paying attention.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Well, if you needed yet another reason for the UK to join the EU - here it is.

We Europeans (including the UK) have no time to be depressed, to be angry, or to be scared. Too much time has been wasted over the past two years. No more burying one’s head in the sand, no more hoping for the best. Time to step up. For our security, for Ukraine, for our future.

One reason that James Dyson is so angry could be that he bought 36,000 acres of British farmland with a view to saving roughly £100 million in inheritance tax. Curiously The Times’ news article fails to mention this. 🤔

Like Brexit, a policy of leaving the ECHR would split the Tory party Like Brexit, there is no consensus on what would replace it, beyond nebulous references to the common law or Raab’s fatuous Bill of Rights It would breach the Good Friday Agreement It could only weaken the protection of rights

I am tired of MSM continually giving Boris Johnson a platform. I would be happy never to see or hear from him again.

Why should we listen to Laura K failing to hold this greedy, lying grifter to account for the profound damage he’s done to our country, our politics and standards in public life? Seriously why does Johnson get airtime to promote his book and chat shit when he abused his office and lied to us all?

This is getting ridiculous - how can Farage constantly get airtime with no one pointing out to him & viewers the Brexit he championed has by almost every economic & financial measure been disastrous for the UK? If that outrages you as much me RT this widely youtu.be/oe45GLj_WBU?...

Brexit is so relentlessly shit. But the political effort that goes in to pretending it isn’t is such an obnoxious waste of everyone’s time, resources and patience. It is a fundamentally dishonest project and denying its damage just makes the damage worse. (Good letter, Times)

So both main parties immediately reject EU’s proposal for a youth mobility scheme. What a state we’re in. Slamming doors in our own faces because better opportunities and closer cooperation with our own continent isn’t brexity enough. What a stupid little place they’ve made us.

A government trying to put into law the right for it to disregard international and domestic law. As red flags go… it’s huge and very red and being waved right in our faces.

Clear words from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Donald Trump’s statement: “any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the United States 🇺🇸 and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.”
