Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

As 60 Minutes laid bare Russia’s war crimes, Trump erupted - not in grief, not in outrage, but in defense of himself and, by extension, his master Putin. No sorrow for murdered children, no defense of Ukraine - only rage that the Kremlin’s crimes were exposed. His allegiance is unmistakable.

This disgusting excuse for a man lied about Brexit, cheated, exploited the VIP lane, appeared drunk or drugged (or both) in the House of Commons and is now being given a peerage. Repost if you find this elitist, privileged behaviour wholly unacceptable. Register your disapproval - Repost Now!

🚨When the stock market was deep in the red yesterday, Majorie Taylor Greene bought tens of thousands in stock. Trump then paused tariffs & she made thousands in profit. Stories that start like this have ended in prison for others.

Release the Russia report. Someone tell Starmer.

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

Trump 8 April 2025: "I know exactly what I'm doing. The tariffs are bringing in $2 billion a day, and we're going to keep them high. Other countries have taken advantage of us for decades, but now they’re paying the price. America is going to be very rich again very soon" 24 hrs later.... #C4News

Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇

“That’s not fair! 😥” “I’ll tell you what’s not fair” “What? 🥹” “”A black dog’s kneecap”

This is why Vance, Musk & the rest of them talk about our ‘free speech’ being under threat while they fast track actual fascism in the USA. It’s a long con & their accomplices are far-right blue ticks with the brains of blancmange.

The fate of the entire global economy now hinges on one question: will a man who has bankrupted businesses repeatedly for decades listen to the counsel of knowledgeable advisors or continue on his current course of action?

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

They do say that murderers have a fetish about re-visiting the scene of the crimes RFK Jr is planning to attend the funeral of the second child to die of measles in Texas

Is this *his* pet name for Russell Brand’s Mr Dingle Dong?

Not so sure the Scots single malt producers should be so worried. I mean, faced with the choice of American paint stripper and a bottle of malt that has gone up from $40 to $44, I am pretty sure I’d still not be buying paint stripper.

Nigel Farage at his Birmingham rally: "I tell you what, we are vetting our local council candidates to a level that no party has ever done before" Literally one week later:

In the last 24 hours, Trump has wiped out $2.5 TRILLION from the US stock market. Imagine if instead that $2.5 trillion had been donated to causes designed to eradicate hunger around the world. 2.5 trillion equates to around $300 for every one of the 8 billion living human beings on this planet.

Daniel Hannan here talking about his idealogical allies on the political Right who've been doubling down for years. As has Hannan. When will the penny drop...?

Ace businessman Donald Trump has knocked $1.5 trillion off the value of Wall St today. If you can't imagine losing $1.5 trillion, just imagine losing $1 every second for 31,709 years.

Global dislike of America and American companies will have an unquantifiable but gigantic economic cost for the United States

Gotta love the French! 😎❤️✨

What exactly do we buy in Europe from America that we would miss? (Or that we actually depend upon industrially?) What does the USA actually make that is better than available here?

The European Commission is tabling a full shutdown of the EU market to American goods. Invites Trump to fuck around and find out.

Bercow was infinitely better than the stooge Lindsay Hoyle. RT if you agree and to wind Nigel Farage up.
