Et on a en France tous les partis d’extrême droite qui le soutiennent. C’est tellement dangereux pour notre sécurité et la souveraineté qu’ils prétendent défendre.

Niente passerelle stavolta, immagino che la meloni non vorrà vantarsi di essere il capo del governo di un paese dove le persone si suicidano perché vengono private del diritto di avere una casa. #statocanaglia

Donald Trump's sanctions against the ICC underline that the US is a rogue state. The West is willing to destroy what remains of "the global order" to defend Israel from accountability for its crimes. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/trumps-icc...

The Green Party should be proud of their breakthrough at the last election. But their failure to pick political fights since then has left Nigel Farage capitalising on Labour’s implosion. They need to get their act together! New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
