Centrist. London. Pro EU. Rejoiner. Democracy is under threat, not only from the dictators & authoritarians that occupy the planet, but also from within existing democracies. Private power + wealth is being used to overturn & threaten our democracy.

Johnson was their tool, as was Trump in the US. Now, that 'big money' has chosen Farage, as their willing puppet. He's the man to deilver, as Trump has done. The UK puppet masters control most of the media, including the BBC, which has been tamed & their puppets installed in the heirachy.

Spot on. The stats confirm it. Jan 2020, the UK left the EU and the refugees thought that a golden age would begin in the UK.
UK politicians, if they really care about democracy, should be pointing out the corrupt media the UK has. Most of it is supporting right-wing politics ie Reform/Tories. It's now so blatant, especially on the BBC, they don't even try to hide it anymore. Private power wants a UK 'Trump' in No. 10.
The moment #Farage realised that he was being exposed and roasted by US Congress members - probably realised I’ve made a huge mistake in coming here to spread misinformation. He was in the company of bigger and stronger people than he’ll ever be.
One of the political highlights of the year, seeing a charlatan being exposed. Thumbs up the Rep. Jamie Raskin. It was great viewing.
Traitorous Farage left US Congress ( after lying under oath ) so he could do an interview with his TV channel GB news and he was sporting a GBN pin while he was being roasted. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-d...

Do we know all the details behind this?. Intenational law may have been broken and even if it was all legal, just killing them is a 'pinprick'. What law enforcement need is intelligence and capturing these men may have produced valuable information about the drug organisation and operations..
👍 Trump can't resist all that money.
Venezuela, has the the worlds largest oil reserves. Is this the reason for Trump's military pressure applied to the nation?. IMO of course it is. No doubt, the oil barons who helped get Trump elected, have whispered in his ear and he's going after the $ Billions that lie there.
Yes, so I read from different sources. He's just a jobsworth, filling a space in Putins regime.
Nonsense. It hasn't fuelled a furious debate. The Govt. is not flailing. The public don't care about Linehan. It's the chattering classes of the media, drumming up a non-story. The UK media is nearly all conservative/Reform supporting. We have the worst news media in free Europe. Try again.
Farage getting told a few home truths .. Scummy little man ..
Maybe, maybe not, but he's a crook. He lost the last election, but they falsified the result, so he could remain President.
Medvedev, the poison dwarf?. 😂
Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.
I would direct that comment to the UK media, both press and TV hacks are more like lapdogs, than watchdogs.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
Well done Mr Raskin. 👍 You got Farage right on the nose.
The Standards committee will decide her guilt, or innocence. I would wait for the result of their inquiry. The media, of course are out for her blood.
Another lefty, who the Russians will be happy to see.
Oh dear. You patiently don't know history. Your display of ignorance and abuse tells me all I need to know about you. Good day to you.
We shall know the truth, when Parliamentary Standards, finish their investigation.
I don't think he'd be given a chance to appear in front of those gates. It's straight to the basement for him.😂

Down to Parliamentary Standards Ctte to judge now. It won't stop the Tory media flogging this story, with plenty of innuendo thrown in too.
Lousy article. It could have been written by Tory Central Office. The hack slipping in opinion and 'maybe' predictions. These are not news.
The champagne would go on ice, straight away!. 🍾🥂

A former French colony, now under the rule of a military dictatorship, (since 2024). Religion majority Islam, with Catholicism next in line. So, not unexpected when a nation is controlled by these sort of people and the religon they follow.
Says you. 😂 We're not in Nazi Germany now pal. You need to read up on the history of FDR, because if you did, you would never had made such a silly comment. FDR is my political hero and the greatest of all US Presidents, but he had flaws, like everyone else.
I prefer him, over some has been hack.
You missed out Trump.
'The man from Moscow'.
NEW: Putin leveraged a meeting with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico to pretend to offer marginal concessions to US demands while continuing to refuse to meet actual US demands and blaming Europe and the United States for provoking Russian aggression. 🧵 (1/6) Read more: isw.pub/UkrWar090225
Born in the georapical region of Syria, which is now Turkey. He became a roman soldier. He never set foot in England. He died in Palestine. He was a Christian saint & a Muslim & Jewish prophet. He never slew a dragon. He is also the Patron Saint of Etihopia. His flag is a religious symbol.
Demagogue in the making??
It has been confirmed that convicted criminal, President Trump is alive. A released, official picture shows him recently having a meeting, being operated by wanted war criminal, President Putin.
It's all about power = money and lot of it. More for them and their corrput pals and less for everyone else. If only we could stop the w*nkers who vote for them?.
If he adopts a 'Corbynite' style role, of attacking Labour, then he will be a favoured guest on BBC news/politics.
They're fantasy comics, designed to stir up hate. The super wealthy, absentee owners, sit back and watch their well paid editors and hacks, set about trying to undermine the Govt and cause civil unrest in the nation. They want chaos and a divided country. If only people could see what they're doing!
Good news. Fingers crossed for UK shipbuilding.
The UK is working on prospective shipbuilding orders centred on Babcock’s Type 31 frigate built at Rosyth, joining Norway’s recent intention to procure Type 26 frigates built in Glasgow. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/scottish-shi...
It wouldn't be, if it wasn't for the appalling media we have in this country.
They would not have been released, if they were. No doubt, there is a lot of sanitisation going on in the dark corridors of the Trump administration.
Those will be the sanitised ones?.
There was the 50-day deadline, and a 10-12 day deadline, and several “two week” time frames – yet Putin’s nightly slaughter of Ukrainians continues.
Replace IPSO too. It's utterly hopeless as a press regulator.
Hardly surprisng, with a UK media acting as a Tory/Reform press office. They're a disgrace to the nation. They're promoting a wannabe re-run of the US election over here. They're not interested in democracy. The fat-cat owners want a Trump style Govt. in the UK and they're getting away with it.
The far lefties losers are out in strength today. Looks like they've brought their venom over from 'X'. 😂
Who says, it isn't a cult?
Another Corbynite, far left party in the making. They'll spend more time attacking the Govt. than the fascists. More destructive, than constructive & unelectable. Reform/Tories must love them.
Hmmm. I wonder who he could be talking about?.
Should anyone be surprised, with a convicted criminal as US President?. It's just more confirmation of the utter immorailty and corruption of the Presidency.

Well, well. Here he is, a couple of days ago with the Reform party, Police and Crime Commissioner for the area. I guess he will be dropping a good word in, to the Chief Constable?.
Are we in a Woodrow Wilson scenario, with Donald Trump?.
You got the replies from the left, as expected. Politics is a practical business, not some ideological game. The left have proven themselves to be unelectable, so taking any advice from them would be pointless.
It makes electoral sense. It kicks away a pedestal of the right and their media pals. The far left won't like it, of course and they say Labour will lose an election over it. Taking advice from people who are unelectable, is pointless. Politics is a practical business, not an ideological game.
Of course, inciting the stupid people to do the bidding of the far right. She'd never do it herself. She doesn't have the guts.

This is a lie on an absolutely colossal scale - the figures show that tariff revenue has increased by $20 billion/month - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... would take over 30 years to reach $8 trillion at this rate
Don't worry, Trump will ride to the rescue, in the shape of, ExxonMobil - article 26th August 2025.
Trump drives India into the embrace of the great dictatorships. That's what Putin wants, so his patsy obeys. Shocking what the US has become. From a peak to a trough.
Orders coming from Moscow?.
Guardian having another pop at the Govt?. Not a very good article, blaming the Govt for letting Farage run the narrative, when the MSM in the UK are to blame, including the BBC & the Guardian. Farage platformed & Govt. news is bad, or something, with a but added. Too much opinion & not hard news.
Is he dead yet?. Just asking for a friend.
Be nice if ICE pick him up and deport him to Afghanistan. 😂
Want a summary of the bills/acts the Labour government have been working on since they came in power? I've put one together here. 44 bills, 24 of which have got Royal Assent and become law. You can see when each bill passed each stage in each house. I've highlighted those still progressing. 1/3

Norway has chosen the United Kingdom as its strategic partner for the acquisition of new frigates, selecting the British-built Type 26 in what Oslo says will be its largest ever defence investment. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norway-picks...
Great news for both our countries. UK & Norway have strong ties, dating especially back from WW2. Geographically, it makes sense too.
The alternative, is frightening. There's only one political party, that can deliver stable, fair Government now.🌹
Casablanca. Ingrid Bergman 1" taller than Bogart. In the photo on the right, you can see the heel on his left shoe is considerably deeper than a normal mans shoe. Claude Reins was 5' 6" - Paul Henried was 6' 3". In the movie Bogart wore elevator blocks for his scenes with Bergman.
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
There was way too much power given to the President. We can see that was a massive mistake. 'Checks and balances' are not working.
He must be talking about Reform voters.
He'd go, for the right price.
An international effort bringing together volunteers from all over the world aims to break the siege on Gaza.
I don't know why folks get meaner with more wealth. I guess some do & others don't. It also depends of personal matters, eg, children growing up to pay for. I'm a mix of Welsh, English, Scots. ie 70% Celt. The Welsh/Scots have generally being more socialist, a result of the dominance of the English.

What is he trying to tell us?. Why doesn't he just say, 'I am going to be that dictator?.
I think it's the sensible position for everyone. I'd say, I'm left on some things & right on others, but I accept we can't always have what we want & the solution is compromise. Give & take. You lose some, you win some. Some folk can't accept that. It has to be their way only & we can see that now.
The stake for US demcracy is now at a critical point. If the corruption of the electoral system is allowed to happen, then America is lost to freedom and democracy. The Constitution is worth nought!.
I agree and they don't have the mindset we see in the older generation, who are more Conservative, (I'm one of the exceptions. I use to be, but as I got older, I bucked the trend and started moving leftwards. I still consider myself centre-left).
