At this point can we just agree they are trying to legitimise the fucked up things they do/want to do? "Pro-life" has never been about life. It's always about power, exerting it over others, and that is exactly the mentality which leads those people to justify attacks on women in the first place.

It'll be funny when we find out Krasnov is Russian for "orange faced cockwomble"

I’ve just cringed so hard my intestines dislocated.

I keep trying to work out why rich white people are so furious they want to destroy their own country: richer than they've ever been, more power than they've ever had. they control the majority media and all I can come up with is that they lost their minds when a black man became President.

Just to remind people that tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine. His planned 3 day “special operation” is still being slogged out, costing Russia about 1 million men (dead and injured) courtesy of Ukrainian courage. Be there if you can to support them 🙏

The news on the Youth Mobility Scheme is fantastic to see. It now feels like we could get some real momentum underway in the lead-up to the May summit.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

🎉 Wales has banned greyhound racing. 🪦 Greyhounds often die at the trackside from their injuries. ⏰️ Westminster now needs to call time on this cruel "sport."

Staggering but true: in 2024, the typical male worker was earning 7 per cent less than their predecessor twenty years earlier, back in 2004 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

lmfao holy shit we're reaching new levels of "fuck the yanks"

Why is some nationalised defence manufacturing capacity not considered? It can repurpose sites, provide well-paid jobs, revitalise areas. It used to be the norm, for obvious national security reasons, esp during wars. It counts towards defence spend %GDP, but is neutral(ish) on the balance sheet.

Have a look at Cates’ comment in particular It seems her Christo-nationalism entails people who haven’t had kids perhaps not receiving healthcare & pensions Private Eye

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is £22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at £11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable! #GMB www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Here's the executive order just signed by Trump. One of the defining features of fascism is that the discretionary power of the leader always prevails over the rule of law.

And let’s never forget those from Keme Badenoch to Niall Ferguson - and much of the UK commentariat - who have been either active or passive apologists for Trump

Inflation's up again. And that's before we get hit by things like the rise in energy costs coming in April. And still Labour refuse to even contemplate breaking the glass on the "Need a big blast of growth? Rejoin the EU." cabinet, which has gathered so much dust it's barely visible any more.
