President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

This is how I feel also

Nigel Farage supported Brexit Nigel Farage supported Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. Nigel Farage called Liz Truss’s budget the best budget for 40 years. Nigel Farage says the NHS should be privatised. Farage has been wrong about, everything. Don’t let Farage ruin our country any longer.

I can’t promise these too regularly but much is going on under Labour that you just don’t hear about. Today’s announcement in flood defences is long needed.

SHAMEFULLY this was UNREPORTED by MOST American MEDIA! If YOU come across ANY of these posts, PLEASE REPOST, let the word out! It’s up to us! Thousands of people from around the United States rallied in the nation’s capital Saturday, days before Trump’s second inauguration.

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously. In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Right winger admits it’s harder to argue with the left because… facts.

I remember when the working class had more self respect than to let posh privately educated pricks brainwash them into being racist or believing mad conspiracies. They profit from your bigotry for fucks sake. That’s why they’ve got you fighting culture wars - to stop you from starting a class war.

Do you have any tales to tell about major landowners across East Anglia? At East Anglia Bylines we're likely to be compiling a series on the phenomenon of medieval barons still owning much of the country, and we'd like to hear anything you can add.

Kemi Badenoch tells Keir Starmer that "we had a Budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Anyway, here's the 'go slow' protest by farmers that blockaded the streets around Parliament following the Conservative Government's last Budget in March

Truth behind GE petition as identities behind signatures debunked Thousands of those who have signed aren't even living in the UK. In fact the petition has been signed by people based across a whopping 184 countries. Numbers soared after Musk shamelessly shared it www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Express burries one small detail as it blasts Labour for handing £536 million to ‘foreign farmers’ Almost all of the aid grants that make up the £500m total quoted were given by Conservative governments www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

1,000 days since fascist Russia began its full-scale invasion of democratic Ukraine. 997 days since Kyiv was to have fallen. 900 days since all Ukraine was to have fallen under Russia's imperialist yoke. 1 day since the US allowed Ukraine to hit Russia with Western missiles.

Important thread. If we are going to have a proper discussion about the issues, let's at least have it on the facts, rather than their most sensational interpretation. ~AA
