There is no quick fit to the damage done to the UK by the Tory Party and it took them 14yrs to do it And that is the problem, everyone wants everything from Labour 2 weeks before they came to power It will not affect me but all the Labour bashing is doing is fuelling ReformUK, they will be in next
Yea, but, Labour! The Independent. 'Starmer secures £10bn deal to supply Norway with warships in face of growing Russian threat The new frigates, along with their UK counterparts, will patrol northern European water'

@beany.bsky.social The Ferret @theferret@mastodon.scot 🔴 NEW: Nigel Farage claimed Glasgow houses 50% more “illegal” migrants than anywhere else in the UK. Ferret Fact Service checked the facts — and found the claim is mostly false. Here's why: bit.ly/4fZygHj
What’s a security guarantee from Trump’s America worth anyway? Trump’s not honouring the Budapest Memorandum (1994) in which the US agreed to guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty & territorial integrity in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons. He has also implied he doesn’t respect NATO’s article 5.
A reminder that she pleaded guilty…..to breaking a law that was passed by a Conservative government. Yet somehow this is Starmer’s fault? God I am so sick of deranged people who don’t even pay the slighted regard any more to facts.
Trump has taken the pi*s out of the National Guard, but more fool them for supporting him. I wonder if their jobs are at risk because they chose to heed Trumps call?
I am not sure we can put Racism back in it's box in the UK. Even in my City we have St George's Flags being put up under the over of darkness and the EDL do not normally dare to come here. Because so many have slagged Labour from day one, I think it will be ReformUK next time.
Make Racism Shameful Again. Stop the infection.
When you look at the last 14 yrs when the UK voted the right wing Tories in time and time gain, they ignored the more left wing Corbyn is it any wonder Starmer took Labour a bit more to the right to wrestle power from the Tories But that does not make them Tories, which I think is where we started
Thanks.
Not totally true. PEDO-OTUS Trump reversed Biden's $35 cap on Insulin but the Big 'Bullshit' Bill puts it back so the Fuck Face can take credit for lowering the cost despite it already having been lowered by Biden.
Because Trump paid them too.
Reform/EDL on the move . They are going to kill someone soon. The Independent 'The UK has seen numerous protests as the government is facing mounting pressure to respond to a surge in small boats crossing the English Channel and end the use of hotels to temporarily house asylum seekers.
Let's not forget about the Epstine Files that would really please Trump and the Republicans.
The war being waged is against American citizens. We are all funding the war of terror against ourselves.
Somebody should remind him there is no Nobel War prize.
Next... the department for killing foreign people, different people and people you disagree with...
Does he? Yuck.
And the tariffs are a war against other countries.
The troops deployed are in American cities. The war is against us - so far.
?
As a candidate who actually cares about peace, we need to lead with humane foreign policy. You can read my platform here: www.katforillinois.com/issues/human...
Trump the coward who dodged the draft 5 times. You could not make this s*it up.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Borrowing this Linda.
Make it make sense.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
A great city needs leadership that shares our values, leadership that can anticipate the future and ensure that all residents share in it. A leader brave enough to stand up to bullies & blaze the path forward. That’s why I’m voting for @wutrain.bsky.social Mayor Wu on primary day.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
On the Radio. 'Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around' I am just melting. Mind you I do remember the original. 'Troggs. Released as a single in October 1967,' also brilliant.
TheOldGuy How much more sh*t can the USA public take from this vile Trump and his Republicans?
Putin plays dirty. The Mirror. 'Top Ukrainian politician assassinated in broad daylight shooting as Putin blamed Andriy Parubiy, a prominent pro-Western politician in Ukraine, was shot up to eight times and killed by a gunman believed to have been disguised as a courier in Lviv today'
Do they, sweeping statement that, who is Labours Paymaster, in fact who is the SNP's Paymaster? Do you really think Labour is Fascist?
Yes, I agree, but will the laws of Parliament allow the Labour or any other party to come right and and say ReformUK are far right racists? I remember when a Labour MPs was told to leave the House of Commons floor for calling a Tory MP a liar, and we all knew she was right.
The Mirror. Sorry I cannot stop laughing. 'Donald Trump could deploy private army to Ukraine to keep Vladimir Putin at bay'!!?
SNP? Such a terrible shame what happened there. They will grow in strength again.
I have no problem with what you vote and which Party you support, that is your choice. But I am watching Trump trying and remove the USA's right to even have another election, and I know Farage is watching with interest too.
I knew from the start that you were not a Labour voter But as I say most everyone despite what Political Party they wanted in power will gladly take what Labour gave us free at the point of need Our NHS will go when Reform get into power Farage has already told us that, he will not fund it from Tax
I have been watching that pendejo while mourning what happened to my beloved #Argentina. Keep safe!
Thank you, 18 months is too short for any Party to have reversed what the Tories did to us. I still say, moaning about Labour is only fuelling ReformUK. Oddly most ReformUK voters cannot afford what Reform will do to the UK, like privatise the NHS, & Farage has all ready indicated he will.
Yes you are correct, no ReofrmUK voters was ever going to vote Labour, but they all take what Labour put in place for them, and risk losing it when their 'hero' Farage gets into Power. The really sad thing is, most Reform voters are the least able to afford what Reform will do.
Yeah pandering to Reform voters or even Tory voters wont end well for anyone, it's not like the right gives a fuck what the left thinks when they're in power, so do what makes your voters happy or risk losing them, Reform voters will never vote Labour to begin with.
It will only alienate those that never were really Labour in the first place. Until they and theirs's need what Labour put in place for them. It is my honest opinion, that Labour is getting the blame for what the Tory's did, and that is just fuelling ReformUK rise.

I disagree with you. Labour has inherited a real mess, they always do after the Tories and they always get the blame for not 'curing it' within 18 months
Stealing this to pass it on.
Very true, they didnt win so now any excuse to riot and Farage is just the man to give them any old excuse, it's what he's always done, feeds them with hate and then they react out of fear, despite not knowing all the facts, the right wing made it impossible to enter the UK legally so = more boats.

I know, I really do think that we are up the creek without a paddle, the far right wing, ReformUK will get into power next time, aided and abetted by so many in the media, including some who are Centre or Left wing. It is a very sad and scary situation we are in.
and right on cue Tice is on the Sunday shows Asking an economic migrant how to stop some manufactured crisis. It’s all arse about face
Funny how they didn't mind about housing immigrants in hotels for 3yrs under the Tory party, they're the ones who started it all, but now they're the ones inflaming tensions over it all, it's all they do, make people angry for the things they did but pass the blame to the left.
SO true wee, but try telling them that.
Even funnier that when they all voted Brexit the UK left the Dublin agreement and then meant every single asylum case had to be heard individually, thus creating more of an issue. Them and their chosen party and donors caused this manufactured crisis.
Thank you Eddie, it is exhausting trying to explain all this to so many people. Saying that, most of those slagging Labour and choosing to forget what the Tories have done, is because they did not get the Government they wanted. That is what it is really about.
Exactly, they want the chaos as they have zero policies, so they NEED everyone angry ,it's the only way they get votes, and people expecting Labour to fix 14yr of Tory rule in under a year is just stupid, it'll take decades to fix their mess, and putting Farage in power is just asking for trouble.
You mean trying to stop the small boats from making the dangerous Channel Crossing? I agree with him. It also takes time and Tax Money to put back into place the things the Tories closed or under-funded. We are just over one year into trying to mend what it took the Tories to break in 15yrs
Most every News outlet in the UK is allowing Nigel Farage and Richard Tice newspaper space and air time to spread their racist hate. We are so stuffed in the UK, it will be Farage in Number 10, and he will be Trump on steroids.
Difference is, some folk have always harboured racist opinions, but up until recently those remained closeted bcos as a society we shunned those who voiced those sentiments. Now, they get 10 min interviews outside the hotel they’re shouting at for ‘balance’
DW News 'On Monday, just a day after Ukraine celebrated its Independence Day, Poland's new president, Karol Nawrocki, announced that he intended to veto the Ukraine Aid Law put forward by the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk'
DW News 'Hundreds at Voice of America and parent agency to lose jobs The announcement came despite a federal judge's ruling that acting CEO Kari Lake could not fire VOA director Michael Abramowitz. The job losses will also hit outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia.'
They will sob, 6 months into a ReformUK Government, just like America is sobbing now. Farage and Trump are Putin's puppies, Farage will do so much damage to the UK no Governments(s) that come after will be able to put it all back again.
I’d agree they didn’t understand & embrace the true message of Labour
Yes. Referendum has been the source of much that is very wrong Cameron has so much to answer for
'Horrific moment NHS worker and her family are racially abused by couple in park Apple Moorhouse, who has worked for the NHS for 15 years, was subjected to the abuse while she was walking through Manor Heath Park in Halifax, Yorkshire, with her dad and daughter' UK Racially abused by 2 pensioners!!
I am not a Church go'er but well said this man. 'Church of England’s most senior bishop accuses Nigel Farage of ‘kneejerk’ response to migrant crisis Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell says Reform UK leader is not offering a solution to the ‘big issues’ which lead to the small boat crossings'
Yes of course they have always bee a few racist in it, but they were few and far between. To leap from Left Wing Labour to Far Right wing racist Reform, that would say to me they never really were or understood Labour in the 1st place.
I remember the Working Men's clubs well, in fact their still is one in a village not so far away. Yes, racism has always been in the UK, but up until that vile Referendum, it kept its dirty mouth out of the Public eye. Now it is spreading everywhere. No true Labour supporter would make that leap.
For you it would & for me. Obviously I don’t know about you but I’m old enough to remember working mens clubs & old industry social clubs believe me there was racism & sexism in places. They improved but it’s still there If you believe the luxury hotels, iPads & job stealing rhetoric, it would show
Thanks Eliana, I am in the UK fighting for Democracy in the USA, for now I am safe, until the UK does a USA, and votes in the far right wing racist Billionaire, Putin loving Nigel Farage that is.
I will say this, what is happening in the USA is not Game. It is reality, and it is Dictatorship.
Video proof of what, please remind me?
UK 'Nigel Farage faces fury after Reform UK's chilling Trump-esque local media ban Farage is under pressure to help reverse a 'dangerous and chilling' decision to ban some local journalists from engaging with Reform UK in Nottingham' I have said if he gets Number 10, he will be trump on steroids

They are lucky so many of us who voted Remain are not so.
I am going to borrow this but I left a Follow as payment.
So glad that I have found Buck Brexit again, she was one of my favourites on Twatter.
Hah!
Long time no see Buck, glad that you are over here now. Short term memories are a blessing for the Tories and ReformUK voters.
Have Tories forgotten they means tested child benefit years ago? They’re acting like this new approach to millionaires’ pensions is amazing, but they happily took money away from families with young kids (not millionaire families either!) but now want praise for means testing millionaires. Fuck off!
The day after the Brexit vote my son's Erasmus place was pulled, along with everyone in the same uni. The result - only the most expensive and out of town accommodation was left at his home uni. He paid the price then and continues to pay the price in other ways now. Buck frexit.
What is going on, we can only hope. But then it would be vile racist hypocrite JD Vance, so out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Is he dead yet?
We love you, Wichita 🔥🔥
