Jerry Tamburino These countries currently have travel advisory warnings against the United States. France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Denmark and Finland. Just let that sink in.

Not sure why you need to chase Reform voters when there are millions of disaffected voters who would quite honestly make do with a Labour party that showed a bit of compassion and vision.

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

I'd much rather be scammed by some poor mom trying to feed her kids than the richest man in the world trying to add to his own wealth, but maybe I'm a sap.

Let's follow this through, shall we? No company should have government subsidy or tax break, ever. If they can't exist on their own, they should fold. Further, they should be forced to repay all the state education their workforce received on taxpayers expense, from their after tax profits.

Country that has a nuclear deterrent that fails in damp conditions but is conveniently operated from its submarines, and has built two aircraft carriers without having enough planes for 2 aircraft carriers, wants to become the fastest innovator in NATO. Good luck, I say.

It's Monday. You might hate your job but at least you're not a Russian general about to explain to me how 1/3 of my strategic aviation got blown up in a morning by some cheap Alibaba drones.

Starmer's Labour Party expels leftwingers for the tiniest perceived infractions. Yet it welcomes people who are basically Trumpists into the very heart of its operations. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

But remember, vote Labour next GE or you get Farage and HIS populist policies or something 🤪

Failed pandemic-era PPE contracts cost the British taxpayer £1.4billion. The Covid counter-fraud commissioner uncovered the figure in the first phase of his probe into wasteful Tory spending during the pandemic www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

When will the media stop lying and calling this a war. Call it what it is, it is genocide. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t get married to the same sex. Don’t like gender-affirming care? Don’t have any. Don’t like Planned Parenthood? Don’t go there. Don’t like abortion? Don’t get one. Just because *you* don’t like it doesn’t mean *others* shouldn’t be able to it.

"When do we get that room of our own?" asks Emma Beddington on behalf of 60% of women who don't. Idk, Emma, maybe when we buy our own house? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ditch AUKUS immediately. There's no knowing what form of extortion will come if we don't please the psychopathic US. We've been whittling away our sovereignty bit by bit for decades. Balls please. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Who owes what to whom? We've approved a CO2 bomb that delivers nothing to Australia. So why? Favours? Threats? Personal promises? One way or another, it is an act of corruption and an act of harm towards the citizens of Australia and the world. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A vote for Reform is not a vote for anything new, disruptive, or ground changing. It's not a vote for working class representation. It's a vote for Tories who left the Tory party because it wasn't cruel and nasty enough.

Welcome to Britain, The country where the richest people have convinced the poorest people that it is those even poorer and more vulnerable that are taking everything. It's time to wake up.

If only there was some way of knowing what caused all this…

"Can Germany Replace U.S. Military Power in Europe?" No. But Germany has a lot of reliable partners left and won new ones. Germany has strong capabilities in diplomacy, logistics, reconnaissance, engineering, medical services, and production. Together we are strong.💪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Wg...

Reform UK blithely advocating £300–400bn of cuts after a decade and a half of austerity would be straight-up koinonicide, the killing of society. A genuine Left Alternative *must* coalesce quickly—because these wraiths are heading into Downing Street unabashed and unopposed.

Not going to quote post but when you see these people saying "no one voted to deport moms" what they're really saying is "I didn't vote to deport this one mom that I know!" It is this enormous failure of empathy, that people like immigrants they know but don't generalize that, while at the same time
