Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

From Dominic Grieve:

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

Free speech is so important to the fabric of our nation that it is in the very First Amendment. This is the GULF OF MEXICO.

Decision time

How about an election in Russia?

Follow the money.....

The VP of the US responding to a journalist. What a great role model for our kids.

✍️ Open letter to the home secretary Labour’s cruel asylum plans betray refugees, court the far right, and risk their own downfall – it’s time to change course.

I spoke up about what is happening in Gaza and the right wing press tried to silence me. Our justice system found they didn’t have a leg to stand on.

How on earth do you satirise this unadulterated mince?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

There you have it. Outright denial of climate science by Reform UK. Via Politico: "Reform UK Deputy Leader Richard Tice has told Sky that the scientific view that human activity is the main cause of climate change is “absolute garbage.”" This should be treated like denying gravity exists...

As things are changing so fast and profoundly geopolitically… I’m finding it easier to turn on the camera, record my thoughts, and upload to TikTok - where there seems to be a big audience for geopolitical discussion. If you’re on TikTok, please do find me there —> www.tiktok.com/@mike_galswo...

The world is on fire and Kemi Badenoch is giving a speech to a Tory think tank in which she says that "as the world becomes more complicated" it is "pronouns and DEI" that are "the real poison in our society". Sunak has given full support to Starmer on Ukraine. She still has not responded.

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

I hope all those people who didn’t want to be part of a European superpower are feeling happy with their choice. How’s the transatlantic alliance working out for ya?

It looks like Starmer has finally found the real special relationship #RejoinEU

51% of British people identify themselves as European... ...and 44% do not identify as Europeans according to a survey in 2024. It will be interesting to see how the Trump-Musk-Vance attack on European values makes the UK react. There's now a clear choice of values - and values drive identity.

Remember ‘project fear’ and how we said Brexit would compromise our security. I think we hugely under stated the dangers. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is probably the most accurate take.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Spot on.

It’s unremittingly grey and cold and dank (in London at least). So here’s a thought to keep you going. In about three or four weeks, the first sand martins will be arriving from Africa. Twelve centimetres long, they’ll have made a journey of up to about 9,000 kilometres. Ridiculous.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

The Associated Press Isn't Bending The Knee To Trump's Censorship The Associated Press is defending the First Amendment and refusing to give in even as Trump escalates his campaign against the centuries old news organization www.politicususa.com/p/the-associ...

This is the UK's Rwanda plan on steroids. A clear violation of refugee rights, but, more than that, just sickening dehumanisation. Thing is, the people involved, and supporting it, genuinely won't consider how dangerous and harmful this is. They just think "foreign", with no regards to nationality.

The least surprising development of the last 24 hours is Boris Johnson abandoning Ukraine… Pathetic, spineless cretin.

Boris Johnson tried to arrange to beat someone up but was allowed to be PM. Meanwhile a mistake is made on a CV...

Two tier focus

If anyone wants to know what having the measles feels like feel free to ask me. My school had an outbreak when I was 7. Two kids died. One was in my class. I had to soak in baking soda baths for the horrible painful rash. I was quarantined in my room. Luckily I didn't pass it to my younger brothers.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.

Hilarious NYT headline: REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUTS. JUST NOT IN THEIR STATES.
