RN liars spout the sort of lies we get in the UK from reform/restore fash. It's bollocks, guys! A video garnered hundreds of thousands of views. Created by Vincent Lapierre, a figure associated with the far right, the film depicts a small town in the Creuse region ravaged by crime and insecurity. 👇

For some "reason" Barney Ronay only allows a chosen few to comment on his posts. He's now turning the feeding frenzy on the anonymous panel verdict (chosen by Arsenal shareholder and member, Michael Rosen KC) into a weapon against Andy Burnham. Guardian stands www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A French court on Wednesday sentenced 6 men to between 6 and 10 years in prison over the deaths of at least 31 people in the Channel in November 2021, the deadliest accident involving migrants. The court described it as “caused by individuals driven by greed, with utter disregard for human life".

Trump, the Putin puppet, tells Ukraine to stop hitting the energy sector. Some may remember that Trump said the war would be over in a day. And there would be no more "stupid" wars started by USA. Blowing up the Iranian Government at the behest of mad mass killer Netanyahu was supremely wise, no?

The only 4 constituencies where rejoining the EU wasn’t the preferred option were those of Lee Anderson, Farage, Tice and Lowe. In those 4, the top answer was ‘don’t know’. Confirming that Brexit has no real support at all. Not surprising for a total shitshow. And makes red lines seem very silly.

Five people climb a gantry in the name of Just Stop Oil and the police shut the motorway, arrest the protesters and imprison them for up to 5 years. Hundreds of people block one of UK's busiest ports in the name of Stop the Boats, and the police do nothing and no-one is arrested. Really? Sigh.
