Does anyone know when we can expect the locusts?

We stop this now, or we become like Russia. Plain as day.

80% of crimes are driven by poverty, if the people weren't poor they wouldn't commit the crime. Billionaires are the biggest cause of poverty. Therefore billionaires cause 80% of crime.

#DonaldTrump

He's one of the biggest downsides I know. They will do well together.

The unhinged circus that the White House has become hits another first with Musk, not a member of the US Cabinet joining Trump’s first Cabinet meeting 😳 An alleged drugged up nut, without high level security clearance privy to US Govt policy.. what could go wrong Musk posting secrets on X maybe🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

Dear BBC So much coverage of EX Labour MP Mike Amesbury yet so little mention of this....anyone would think your executive board was biased....🤔 news.sky.com/story/ex-ref...

Kemi Badenoch's spokesman just refused to rule out the Tories backing leaving the UN, in a briefing with journalists after PMQs

Would you buy a used car from this so-called man? No, nor would I.

This week's cover: Britain in Trump's world The fate of the special relationship in a new global order, by Andrew Marr. Inside: 🗣️ Freddie Hayward meets Steve Bannon 🗣️ Finn McRedmond meets Ash Sarkar 📕 Anna Leszkiewicz on Curtis Sittenfeld

It’s time for MPs to understand they have a full time job, to serve their constituents. They should not be allowed to work as consultants or pundits. Especially if they are never seen in their constituency, how can Farage really represent his constituency if he’s always in America or no GBNews?

Looks like this guy might now be the leader of the free world.

"Yes, he really posted this” Monstrous www.rawstory.com/trump-gaza-2...

Even if UK left ECHR it would still be bound by other international obligations & treaties. Simple fact is if you want to give yourself a completely free hand internationally you would also have to withdraw from Refugee Convention & United Nations Convention Against Torture - just think about that

Sign baby sign!

MAGA voters loved Trump’s incredible record as a businessman, hence wanting him as President to Make America Great.. 4,000 legal actions, inc six business bankruptcies, is an incredible business record, it take a special skill to be that sh*t❗️ He’s using that skill Governing the US and it shows 🤦🏼‍♂️

Just when you thought the madness might have peaked Donald Trump posting a video of ‘Trump Gaza’ that even shows him having a beer with Netanyahu on the strip at the end Gaza… the new Klan Antonio 🎉 It’s so deeply sickening that it’s right on brand for where America is right now

Since Labour took office, 10,000 more children have been plunged into poverty by the refusal to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Increasing military spending while millions of children go hungry is not a tough decision. It’s the wrong decision.
