Farage ripped a strip by Jamie Raskin who labelled him a Putin loving friend of autocrats who should be in the British Parliament arguing his case rather than in America Well said Mr Raskin
Nigel Farage pushed Brexit and with it the returns agreement on boat people, yet no one especially the media holds him to account… Why?
LoL
The Dems are just as responsible as anyone else for the rise of MAGA and Trump, yet they wring their hands and make no effort to connect to what should be their core voters
Reform’s incompetence at local level does not bode well if people are stupid enough to vote that way at a GE (I’m not holding my breath in the hope they won’t)
Week after week, in a small market town, a group gathers in silence to acknowledge Gaza’s devastation. They don’t chant or march, writes Jacob Ecclestone. They simply stand, refusing to look away.
Christian Zionists included. After all it was the British variety who created this mess in the first place
So why is the British government so loath to impose sanctions? Oh, I forgot Keir Starmer has family in Israel so is blind to the actions of the IDF
Sir Keir is probably the worst communicator of any PM ever. He can’t even communicate with his cabinet let alone the country… no wonder he is so low in the polls
The Israeli government is the one that is conflating anti Zionism with anti semitism and in doing so is making Jews everywhere feel unsafe
Starmer is clearly not rising to the great challenges facing the UK. He is fiddling around the edges while Rome burns
He looks somewhat down in the mouth
They also need a leader with a vision of what the future looks like for the man in the street that is full of hope and positivity… not just policies
Be careful what you wish for, the next president may be a Trump on steroids but smarter
American tariffs declared illegal by a judge in the US
Me thinks critical thinking is lacking when it comes to Ofcom enforcing their rules
There’s no end to the stupidity of those not blessed with critical thinking
WOW… that’s the most accurate description that I’ve ever read and oh so to the point
WOW… that’s the most specific description that I’ve read and oh so to the point
The Labour government is no such thing. It is full of right wing authoritarians who have lost their minds
Exactly But first deprive them of everything they held dear or possessed
It just goes to show they have no intention of responding to the wishes of their supporters only the oligarchs who fund them
It’s company policy to treat you like a piece of sh*t then turn round to anyone who complains and say “what do you expect at these prices?”… but people still put up with it. Take the train it’s far less hassle and more relaxing
Does Farage really want power and responsibility or would he prefer to influence policy from the wings as he is now?
The Dems are in disarray without a clear vision of the future they want to create. Trump will do everything he can to win or steal the Mid Terms but how are the Dems on the hill fighting back? Who is providing effective leadership?
Never thought I’d hear this said about the FT
Germany opens an enormous munitions factory. Europe is gearing up to stand on its own two feet at last
Simple. The legacy media is controlled by the right wing oligarchy
End recognition of the state of Israel and recognize the state of Palestine instead. This is a far more realistic solution
The imposition of two acceptable sexes is a Christian idea that has no basis in nature
Hitler sought absolute power. DT is doing the same. The Mid Terms are his final hurdle
Same tactics used by the Nazi party in 1930s Germany. This will only end one way…
Starmer dithering, delaying and avoiding his responsibilities to Britain’s heroes whilst backing the genocide of a foreign government. No wonder support for Labour is going through the floor
You were warned over and over again who these people are. You chose not to listen, or you chose not to care.
ICE is the recreation of Hitler’s brown shirts using the same tactics to intimidate people and establish Trump’s project to establish himself as a dictator
Israel has destroyed Gaza in a premeditated attack. They withdrew border patrols on October 7th knowing that Hamas would attack. Then, using the Hannibal directive they killed some of their own people using tanks and helicopters. The West has been conned into supporting the Israeli Zionists
You were not expecting our Nige to come up with an original ‘new’ plan, I hope. The man has never had an original new idea ever before
That is ethnocracy
Israel is not a democracy. It is an ethocracy in which one race dominates all others. It is an apartheid state which must be sanctioned in every way possible. It is the only way of ending the oppression and achieving peace
Israel is destroying Gaza physically but Gaza is destroying Israel morally. The physical can be rebuilt but Israel’s morals like trust, once destroyed, cannot be regained
Is there no end to this man’s crass stupidity?
Which part of the Labour Party is NOT on the right? I thought the left such that it was had left to join the new Corbyn party. Oh… and if that is not the case, they should have done so.
The Christian Zionists were the ones who came up with the idea of a land dedicated to displaced Jews after WW2 Zionists are not exclusively Israeli by any means
Shows what happens when a union does not bend to intimidation from a large company or government
Jenrick can't control who stands in the background of his photos, but he can decide whether to attend protests with a far-right message and a documented history of being organised by the far-right. He knows this. He goes anyway. Once upon a time it would have been a sackable offence.
Wrong. Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. In fact, it is the desire to expand the borders to include other people’s land and has nothing to do with the beliefs set out in the Torah
Not to mention parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt
Not true. It’s an apartheid state where only Israelis get to vote. The Palestinians who live in Israel are not properly represented
You nailed it
Agree 100%… you can be anti Zionist and still support the existence of a democratic Israeli state.
Until people understand this, the human race is doomed
America… a country scared of its own reflection. And the UK No different. Glorifying its colonialist past. Glorifying its imperialism. And rejecting the consequences. And continuing the rape and pillage, only this time through the digital offshore banking network that protects the super rich
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
How is it possible to have endless ‘growth’ within a finite ecosystem? Unless we start thinking differently and quick, we are sealing the fate of our civilization
The idea of a two state solution is a red herring because it is designed to keep Zionism alive and we have all seen the results that achieved. It is therefore an impossibility
News update: she has resigned
If the IDF lose control of the crime scene which is Gaza, they know that that will be the graveyard of not only Zionism but also the Western colonialist imperialists Hence Netanyahu’s decision to take Gaza city and remaining Palestinian enclaves
Rushanara Ali, the Minister for Homelessness, has been accused of asking tenants to leave and subsequently hiking the rent, showing Labour can achieve financial growth if they put their mind to it
Which explains why he has been so slow to act and quick to offer weasel words on the genocide in Gaza
No doubt, then that David Lammy, now Foreign Secretary, has had his ear bent by said colleague over and over again Dyhr last 18 months.
A former head of Labour Friends of Israel and now spokesman for Israel and Netanyahu was once the British Foreign Secretary’s campaign manager when David Lammy was running to be elected Mayor of London This explains quite a lot…
Now he plans to finish the job with Trump giving him diplomatic cover Outrageous genocide The West is complicit
Causing maximum impact internationally and there max outrage thereby giving Netanyahu every excuse to kill as many Gazans as he could
Then the Hannibal directive was invoked thereby the IDF killed as many Israeli hostages as they could causing maximum numbers to be killed
Somehow all IDF patrols on the Gaza border were cancelled during the crucial period when Hamas attacked
This was Israel’s plan from the outset.
If Starmer and Co want to turn things around, they have to do something unconventional like taxing dividends at the same rate they tax work.
Starmer & Co taken in 30 children from Gaza to be treated by the NHS and expect brownie points for their generosity overlooking the fact that 20,000 have been killed and 1000s are starving. Still no action to Cancel arms sales, trade agreements & IDF training arrangements. Recognize Palestine.
100% but the City of London has a veto. Rejoining would mean their secret tax avoidance empire would be threatened.
Be advised that we’ve had the crash (2008) and now we are in the slow descent into the second Great Depression. Is there a politician or political party prepared to tell it like it is?
Immigration into the UK has rocketed since Brexit. The great migration surge from Eastern Europe has ended as those countries have grown more prosperous. The best way of controlling immigration is to rejoin the EU or Single Market.
Now to suspend the special status Israel has on trade
Israel is finished in Europe diplomatically. Ireland, Spain, France, Germany and the UK have all announced they will recognize a Palestinian state
Not true that the EU will remove their trade barriers with the USA.
Motherfucking wind farms…
Let’s hope that the JR finds their proscription unlawful and all those brave souls arrested recently have their cases dropped KS will have egg all over his face
Check indexoncensorship.org for information on the online safety bill also
Please keep up. Palestine Action have been proscribed as a terrorist organization, our right to protest peacefully against genocide are in question.
Does getting the job done include crushing free speech? There is nothing more important in our democracy. If people are prepared to sacrifice their foundational values for ‘getting the job done’ then we are lost
For once
We live in an Alice in Wonderland type of world where up is down, genocide is self defense and terrorism is peaceful protest
Starmer does not lead the Labour Party. He leads his own which has nothing to do with historical Labour Party values. He has no overarching vision of a better future, only a technocratic ability to negotiate every single decision. He is no leader
The Democrats have no one else to blame than themselves for Trump. They sowed the seeds now they are reaping the rewards with the lowest approval rating for a very long time
Starmer will crush his own chances of getting re-elected by crushing free speech generally and dissent in his own party. This from a man who has done nothing to inspire people to follow him
This is performance art performed by ICE to appeal to Trump’s base but the data shows he is not being any more effective that Obama or Biden at removing illegals from the US
Just another opportunity for Pallentir to suck in more personal data and use it for nefarious purposes
To be successful, digital communication must tell a clear story which is aligned with the overall vision of the government… Starmer has not laid out a vision for his government at all. Let alone one that resonates with the British people
… And what are the Palestinians supposed to eat and drink in the meantime?
What is Starmer preparing to recognize? A Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders or just parts of that. If the latter he is rewarding a terrorist apartheid government for their genocide
Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip. Palestinians have an inalienable right to live unmolested in their own land
The damn is beginning to break in Europe with Spain, Ireland and France already doing so
Starmer has announced that the UK will recognize the Palestinian state in September unless Israel meets certain conditions
