Emotionally and politically literate but I know what I don't know, and I know my heart is in the right place as I listen and learn. How do we keep this new place respectful and free of X crement?

Predictable ally for Vance than the Mail to amplify his ridiculous attempt to gaslight the gullible with his populist nonsense garbage about threats to Freedom of Speech being a bigger threat than Russian imperialism or dirty tricks for our democracy.Sleepwalking the dumb into voting Far right.

“While other media accounts have detailed several key moments in the blitzkrieg on USAID, this article provides new details about what Trump and Musk’s lieutenants did… In addition to the Privacy Act… the administration may have broken other laws while violating the Constitution itself”

There really need to be resignations and where applicable prosecutions for perjury over this stuff. We knew that newspaper media was 'grubby' but this is criminal level dishonesty that cannot be explained away. Utter corruption.

The fact that Trump has said he will pardon the Jan 6th Washington rioters tells anyone who needs reminding all they need to know about how unfit for office he is.That a democracy has delivered somebody like him back to office shows us how low decency and basic values and standards have been brought

Politics is politics and diplomacy is diplomacy but the facts are the facts and the truth is the truth. The comments below were BEFORE the disgusting events on January 6th 2021 which should have made today's inauguration literally an impossibility.

The bottom line is, Trump should be in prison.

Reform MP thinks the families of Pakistani grooming gangs should be deported. This is probably the clearest indication yet of the steady creep towards 1970s style Enoch Powell/National Front style vile blatant open racism becoming normalised and everyday in this country. Utterly shameful and shaming

Now we have the perfect toxic set up for the far right and the corrupt media to brew the idea of a cover up by the government because Labour are frightened of losing the Asian vote.The implication of this will delight the racists aswell because it suggests that Asians somehow support the criminals.

So..Trump wants to annex Canada and Greenland. Tate wants to be UK PM.Musk sets the media and political agenda in the UK and Zuckerberg abandons fact checking within Meta at the same time as everyone is being gaslit into wanting free speech to mean being allowed to say whatever you like.Real danger

I get embarrassed for the members of the media and political opponents who can't hide their frustration that they didn't get the chance to hound Louise Haigh out of her job, and it's no surprise that they're the same people determined to smell a rat when a Labour politician does the right thing.

The sooner we get the Assisted dying discussion away from the politicians and especially the media the better. We need expertise, common sense, practicality and compassion to arrive at the right conclusion not politics and sensationalism.

There are whole books on psychology that don't get anywhere near this paragraph from Dostoevsky

When someone uses ‘woke’ as an insult I try to explain the difference between being woke and being a righteous right winger. Woke people are interested in Human Beings, Human Values and Empathy; right wingers are interested in money, property and supremacy. Please yourself!

Rishi Sunak and his wife avoiding public scrutiny by changing their company to 'unlimited'... just as David Cameron did ... Seems to be a pattern with Tory Prime Ministers eh? I wonder why..... hmmmmmmmm

Maybe when the ‘petition for another general election 🤪’ gets to 6 million (not including bots), we could have a double referendum, put the Tories in third place in the House of Commons, lose Reform altogether and bin off Brexit too 😉

BREAKING: “That isn't how our system works” Prime Minister Keir Starmer reacts to a petition calling for a general election which has over 2 million signatures It is clear from the petition data that huge numbers of the signatures are not genuine

"[Jeremy Clarkson] has a slightly vested interest in this." "Very few farmers are affected by inheritance tax." Jeremy Clarkson is not the saviour of farming communities he's made out to be, Ian Hislop says. @privateeyenews.bsky.social

In 2024, the UK now has something resembling the Infowars to Fox News to the Republicans pipeline. What starts with blue ticks on X is boosted by “mainstream” GB News pundits and then Reform politicians. That’s much more dangerous than online disinfo alone www.theneweuropean.co.uk/disinfo-wars...

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. They have been charged with “crimes against humanity and war crimes.”

"Honestly, you can't even post a little bit of racial hatred in a post that gets the date, location, nationality and flag wrong, without people getting upset over it ..."

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam. Hilarious to watch him squirm.
