Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future. Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom. We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

Bear with me, I anticipate your disagreement. There is a clear pattern to the advice given to those who want to press back against rising racism. What it boils down to is that if you point out that racism is often being dressed up as “legitimate concerns” you will alienate people. /1

The true plague of the 21st century is the reckless and deranged bellowing before millions, spouting off about things it knows nothing of, lulling the mind into sleep — the sleep that produces monsters. It has happened in history, both on the left and right, and will end badly again.

If Mr. Johnson knows the assassin's identity and what their motivation was, then maybe he should contact the FBI. If he doesn't, then perhaps he should shut up rather than stirring up fear and loathing. Grossly irresponsible
The murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy,
and a sign of the utter desperation
and cowardice of those who could
not defeat him in argument. Charlie
Kirk has been killed not for espousing
extremist views - because he didn't.
He has been killed for saying things
that used to be simple common sense
He has been killed because he had
the courage to stand up publicly for
reasonable opinions held by millions
and millions of ordinary people both
in the US and Britain. The world has a
shining new martyr to free speech


Our thoughts and prayers are with his
family and loved ones.

The more Labour stampede right, the emptier the vacuum for the LibDems to go "Let's just ****ing rejoin the EU already!" and snaffle up votes. But it would need to be a loud, proud and sustained message. Not a policy line item on their website, but front and centre in all comms. 2025 is NOT 2019.
