Donald Trumpâs second presidency is not merely a continuation of his first; it signifies the consolidation of power through a system rooted in loyalty, intimidation, and personal gain. Please read, share & subscribe www.plagueisland.com/p/teflon-don...
Not blaming others means taking personal responsibility for your actions and feelings, rather than assigning fault to other people or external circumstances when something goes wrong. Instead of feeling anger or resentment, you focus on accountability, solutions, and learning from mistakes.

Nigel Farage has, inevitably, said that this ruling means âIllegal migrants have more rights than the British people under Starmerâ. The courtâs short summary makes it explicit in two separate places that didnât even enter into its reasoning, which centred on criteria for injunction.

Sorry, had to repost this. The BBC are not fit for purpose. They are not a neutral source of news. They are promoting a right wing populist party that has 4 MPs ( same as the Greens). This is dangerous for the country.

Exactly this. Saying Farageâs plan wonât work isnât enough - Labour must call out the cruelty and moral bankruptcy at its core. If they only quibble over practicality, they concede the ground to Reform instead of challenging their toxic politics.

If Reform win an election, wave goodbye to sovereignty. Britain wonât be âtaking back controlâ of anything - itâll be a vassal state of Trump, ruled by his cronies from across the Atlantic. Farage as the local governor, Westminster reduced to a branch office. #ReformUK #Trump #UKPolitics

If Trump is happy for China to keep buying Russian oil, itâs not just about Beijingâs leverage. It keeps Moscowâs economy afloat too. Hard not to ask the obvious question: who does he really serve? www.plagueisland.com/p/the-art-of...
The "soft left" is the problem. They enabled Starmer's purges, chose "electability" over principles. In a world where Corbyn's basic social democracy gets called "hard left," the centre isn't centre anymore - it's just neoliberalism with a smile. Real change never came from triangulation.
Politicians blame anyone and anything for broken Britain from migrants, workers, ECHR, âwokeâ culture everything except the real culprits: Brexit and decades of neoliberal decay. Soon weâll have blamed it all, and only the truth will be left standing. #UKPolitics #Brexit #Neoliberalism #labour

And a new ideology. Neoliberalism is not working
Where is the REAL Labour Party?? Is there anyone on the soft left who can lead us out of this nightmare?

Starmer tried to be Reform â and itâs backfired. Reform is surging. If Labour wants any chance at the next election, it must start being Labour again. That means confronting the Brexit disaster and offering a real alternative, not chasing Farageâs shadow. #Labour #ReformUK #Brexit #UKPolitics
