Capitalism is sick. Regulations, enforcement and breaking up monopolies are the cure.

Surely those people publicly backing him can see he’s gone quite quite mad?

Brexit isn’t being reopened. It was never going to go away. As it’s about our relationship with the continent. Once we did the stupid stupid vote this was always going to be an ongoing negotiation forever.

This renders useless, first and foremost, our interceptor drones. It doesn't limit our ability to attack inside Russia, it limits our ability to stop another apartment building or school full of civilians from being hit. ​Wow, just wow.

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. ​Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.

Feel a lot of pride about the way Britain has responded to Trump's attacks on Ukraine, repeatedly launching big symbolic demonstrations of solidarity when things are at their most tenuous.

Kemi Badenoch is a fucking moron right? We all see it? Am I going mad? She’s just an X For You feed come to life. How are the Tories above 20%? Their fake sister party also have 20%. After everything they’ve done. All the damage we wade through every day thanks to them.

Everywhere you look people are voting for fascist nihilism. Massive inequality, aggression without purpose, anti-immigrant rage, burn all resources and give all the money to the rich. Brazil learns nothing from that dipshits Dad, and the Amazon will burn because of right wing hysteria.

Driving through villages today it’s all tattered Union & St George flags. These fake nationalists have no respect for the flags at all. No care. Just put them up in a pique of performative anger, no plan to care for them or take them down, they all look terrible. A perfect metaphor for Reform types.

Less migration means less tax revenue which means taxes need to go up to pay for welfare, mainly pensions, and everything else we need. It was obvious in 2016, and every year since. Nigel does not care about you.

They went rid of all welfare, the state pension, sick pay, paid leave, the NHS, all of it. So they can make a gross steroid Thatcher fever dream Britain.

Nigel Farage and Reform don’t give a solitary shit about anyone but themselves and their rich backers. Voting for them on some vague platform of hating boats and immigration gets your local nursery shut down. Thats what happens. They do not care about people or services. They are using you.

People can’t live in places where it’s too expensive to live. The whole world is being built for billionaires who work in private equity. It’s not enough people, so the schools aren’t required. We’re just letting the rich kill everything.

It’s so clear in every aspect of life that capitalism has gone wild. Greed, deregulation and a total lack of morality has infected and tarnished everything. Anyone willing to tackle this utter corruption, to understand this big picture, has my vote.

Under taxed foreign billionaires are buying Reform Ltd and buying UK politics and buying Farage, a well known conman. It was clear they have been doing it, it’s clear they were going to do it, and Labour did nothing to stop it. They just aren’t ready for this fight.

You don’t think they can get more repellent, and then they do a bunch of live events and speeches that are still jaw dropping in their disgusting, untrue, manipulative, hateful, regressive bullshit. Expect Reform to parrot all these lines in the next few weeks.

I can’t remember the last time someone from the right said anything in good faith. It’s all the same scam. The AfD pushing the same crap. Mass deportations, blame immigrants for everything, then deregulate all capitalism to the benefit of the very rich. It fails, they take no responsibility, repeat.

I’m so tired of hearing you can’t call them stupid. If you vote for the likes of Reform, you’re either stupid, nasty or a billionaire. That’s it. And the stupid ones have been just as nasty. If they want forgiveness, I want an admission, but also some kind of act of contrition. Otherwise, no.
