Starmer should explicitly link rejoining the EU and substantially reinforcing Britain's military strength. Give voters a big song and dance about how the financial gains from undoing most of the Brexit damage will unlock the funds to defend ourselves much more easily without hurting livelihoods.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Social media companies are suppressing terms like “Epstein” and “ICE” and “voting” because they don’t want you thinking about those things. Like and share everything you see.

What is going to follow from me is a number of posts regarding someone I have admired and listened to for a long time. Some of you will know of her already. Every now and again, I urge others to pay attention to Fiona Hill. And every so often, I look to see if she has a Bluesky account. Not yet.
Fiona Hill, former Russia and Europe adviser to the White House who testified during Donald Trump's impeachment hearing. Text across the image states: The Russian government was "signalling very strongly that they wanted to somehow make some very strange swap agreement between Venezuela and Ukraine."

Doctors and aid workers largely became the de facto journalists on the ground in Gaza when Israel banned international news media and began systematically assassinating Gaza-based Palestinian journalists. So Israel wants to get rid of those de facto reporters to hide its crimes. Caitlin Johnstone

New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept. Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ
