Quindi @realDonaldTrump dopo aver imposto sanzioni a chi compra carburanti dalla Russia, comprerà carburanti dalla Russia. Darà a Putin soldi con cui lui acquisterà droni dall’Iran (il paese al quale l’America sta facendo la guerra) e tecnologia dalla Cina (che dell’America è il diretto concorrente), la quale a sua volta compra dall’Iran il petrolio. Poi, da perfetto idiota qual è, si domanderà perché non riesce ad abbattere il regime di Teheran, mentre lui stesso lo nutre attraverso quelli di Mosca e Pechino. Questo coglione corrotto e malato di mente sta mettendo armi in mano ai suoi nemici e paga in dollari la dedollarizzazione. È un cazzo di topo in una ruota, il miglior animale da compagnia che potesse capitare in sorte ai dittatori, che sanno bene come farlo correre all’infinito e convincerlo che stia portando il suo paese in un posto diverso dalla rovina.

Please repost if you want Andy Burnham to work to restore our EU Freedom of Movement as soon as possible. It was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

GB News drapes itself in the Union Jack and takes its money from Dubai. The channel is co-owned by Legatum, a Dubai-based investment firm, and by Sir Paul Marshall, a British billionaire who runs one of the biggest hedge funds on earth. That fund holds $2.8 billion in oil and gas. This year alone it nearly tripled the bet, pouring hundreds of millions into Chevron and Shell while cutting what it holds in renewables by a third. The Guardian called it cashing in on climate chaos. Sit with that. The people paying for the channel that tells you the planet is fine are the same people who get richer the more it burns. Then listen to what they broadcast. One in three GB News presenters have pushed climate denial on air. More than half have attacked every effort to stop it. They sit in a London studio telling you to drill for more oil while moorland burns the length of the country and Arthur’s Seat goes up in smoke a few hundred metres from Parliament. Marshall also bankrolls UnHerd, which has published pieces telling you climate change is no catastrophe. The chairman he installed at GB News helped build a think tank funded by the Koch oil dynasty in America. None of this is hidden. It is filed with regulators. It is in the newspapers. You are just not supposed to join the dots. So when a man on that channel stares down the camera and tells you the fires are just summer, that the heat is nothing new, that net zero is a con dreamed up to fleece you, look at who is signing his cheque. Billions riding on fossil fuels. A fortune that grows every time another field is drilled and another forest turns to ash. They are not confused about the science. They understand it perfectly. They are counting on you not to. They think the British public are too stupid to notice they are being played, and every day you swallow it, they are proven right. This is the con. Not the climate crisis, which you can see and smell and feel. The con is the smooth voice on the television, paid for by oil money, telling you to trust him over your own eyes.

This is an absolute delight to listen to, and worth 5 minutes of anyone's time. A 94-year-old Clacton resident schools Reform UK Cllr Justin Jay out canvassing for Farage. Jay is not the brightest, claiming Farage is paying the £250k election costs, which of course is a lie.

Just a thought! Count Binface winning the By election would actually put Clacton on the 'World Map' as a tourist destination for the bucket list! It could actually turn out very good for Clacton in terms of Jobs , industry and souvenirs! 😉

WOW! TO GET THE TERMS WE ONCE HAD? THAT WOULD BE AMAZING! Now watch our incompetent, fuckwit politicians ignore this. BRITAIN MUST, MUST, MUST REJOIN THE EU. The longer we stay out, the greater harm we suffer. And let’s not forget that being a member of the EU is about much more than trade. Often forgotten, never mentioned. With any luck these are the last days of Keir Starmer and his Brexit red lines. TIME TO MOVE ON!

A MESSAGE TO ALL SANE REPUBLICANS: He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You said nothing. He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing. He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing. He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing. He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing. His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing. He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing. He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing. It’s time to start talking. By Christina Lorey

This morning I asked myself, not for the first time, who is Nigel and I made some notes. And it does add up. Here is a man who sells himself as the ordinary bloke with a pint, the man of the people, the great outsider standing up against the establishment. And yet somehow this ordinary bloke always seems to arrive with a camera crew, a donor network, a friendly broadcaster, and now a parliamentary investigation into a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire. Very normal. Very grassroots. Very “just one of the lads”. The peoples revolt, apparently, now comes with lighting, branding, fundraising dinners, professional outrage, and a small question about whether millions should have been declared properly. Everything is a betrayal when Labour does it. Everything is “nothing to see here” when Nigel does it. Housing? Blame Labour. The NHS? Blame Labour. The economy? Blame Labour. Boats? Blame Labour. A £5 million gift? Suddenly everybody must calm down and respect the process. And then came Tuesday. A young man died. A family was grieving. A country was trying to understand something horrific. And Farage stepped forward. Not with calm. Not with care. Not with responsibilty. But with his announcement of “pure cold rage”. That phrase matters. Because anger is human. Anger can be moral. Anger can demand answers, justice, accountability and truth. I understand anger. A lot of people are angry. They have every right to ask serious questions. But rage is different. Rage does not ask careful questions. Rage does not wait for investigations. Rage does not protect grieving families from becoming political props. Rage looks for a target. And that is where Farage always seems most comfertable. Not solving the pain. Not calming the country. Not asking how institutions failed and how they can be fixed. But standing beside the pain with a microphone, turning the temprature up, and calling it leadership. Warm enough to repost. Warm enough to donate. Warm enough to vote. But never calm enough to ask: “Hang on, who benefits from keeping us this angry?” That is the trick. He does not need Britain to feel hopeful. He does not even need Britain to feel informed. He needs Britain permanently one headline away from rage. Because rage is usefull. It fills rallies. It drives clicks. It turns grief into theatre. It makes slogans feel like solutions. And while everyone is shouting, nobody asks the boring questions. Where is the plan? Where is the funding? Where are the costings? Where is the responsibilty? Maybe that is who Nigel Farage is. Not the man of the people. But the man who knows exactly how to turn peoples pain into his own political stage. The Reform & Tory Sitcom continues. Same chaos. Different rosette. Anger can demand answers. Rage just sells tickets. If this speaks to you, please add your comments, repost it, and maybe follow me — not for me, but because politics needs fewer slogans and more people asking proper questions. #Farage #ReformUK

Starmer has set up a red line against rejoining the Single Market. We shouldn't forget that leading Brexiters including Farage, Arron Banks, Boris Johnson and the Leave EU campaign all made clear they supported staying in the Single Market, like Norway and Switzerland.

If foreign billionaires paid British politicians millions of pounds in personal “gifts” to “get Brexit done”, then it’s abundantly clear that Brexit was NOT done for the benefit of the British people. We need an urgent inquiry into foreign interference and @Nigel_Farage’s role.

I will never forgive @AndyBurnhamGM and @wesstreeting . The right wing media was just beginning to put some pressure on #nigelfarage about his £5 million and now these fools brought the narrative back to @UKLabour . Isn't that the most moronic move of self harm?

What ARE we going to do about the media in the UK? They are no longer journalists or newscasters, but seem to want to create the news themselves. This is unacceptable, and has been for decades with Murdoch etc, but now our national broadcaster, the BBC, has jumped into the cess pit too. Something to look at @Keir_Starmer perhaps? A new Director General at @BBC might be a good starting place, then banning non-domiciles from owning our national press. Just a thought to sort the bastards out.
