The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔 This is the feeling we have in Europe.

Trump asking allied countries to send naval resources to secure the Hormuz straights, this after denigrating virtually all of them in his term as president, is a bloody audacity, you fucked it you fixed it, this is for the USA alone to sort!

I am honestly so confused by this whole thing, did Reform honestly think that a community they have vilified and othered would actually vote for them, people have a predisposition to vote in their best interests.

There is no standards of ethics being upheld by your elected representatives, Starmer is in trouble because his own party questioning his judgement, you live in a country where politicians are bought and only a few do what is right by the people not their paymasters.

Thanks to SNP public ownership, Scotland has the lowest % of cancelled trains in the UK. 🚂👇
Graphic in the style of a train ScotRail train station sign with the words: Scotlands trains? Best in the UK. Cancellation rates: Scotland: 2% UK: 3.3% North East England: 4.5%

Much as I’d love this to be true the attendance was approximately 5,000, the exaggeration to 3m was due to a far right rally at the weekend claiming hugely inflated numbers, this is classic British sarcasm at play.

Nigel Farage (Dulwich), Danny Kruger (Eton), Richard Tice (Uppingham) and Isabel Oakeshott (Gordonstoun) aren't 'standing up to the elite'. They are the elite.

Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters. The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.
