Top 5 Global Economies (NomGDP) USA: $32.38 trillion China: $20.85 trillion Germany: $5.45 trillion Japan: $4.38 trillion UK: $4.24 trillion... Q - do any of these have a strong military AND a decent welfare system? Is it always an OR choice?

7 May 1737. Red Lion, Whitechapel. Elizabeth King tried to reclaim the two horses Tom left at the inn. They arrested her. Days later Tom died from my bullet, his wife was being interrogated by the beaks while I was God knows where. turpinhq.co.uk #History

Don't let the Reform roundabout botherers win tomorrow. Please, get out and vote 💪 #reform

Nigel Farage doesn't have positions. He has investors. Thai crypto billionaires. Oil and gas. A firm linked to Iran. Don't let them buy your council: stopreformuk.vote/ #reform #uk

Nigel says we should judge him on Reform's record running councils. OK then, lets take a butchers... Don't give them your council - use stopreformuk.vote/ @sportmarketing1 @MVTFWD @JoshFwd

The bins aren't complicated. The Tories and R4U have lost their grip on the basics. #VoteLabour Thursday 7 May

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to Maria Turpin, the woman who raised England's most wanted man. Kacey Ainsworth plays the mother who knows her boy's bound for the nubbing cheat, and loves him anyway. Turpin from @bigfinish: turpinhq.co.uk #History #DickTurpin #BritishHistory

ARMAGEDDON! Brought to you by fried chicken, Gatorade, and morons who can’t find the country they’re bombing on a map. #TrumpEpsteinFiles #ir

Today US Congress members had access to the unredacted Files. They are reporting that his name is mentioned almost 1m times. This is what that looks like. #epstein #trump

I honestly can’t hold this in anymore. Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are not aberrations. They are the same project, running in two countries, with the same backers, the same tactics, and the same end goal. Both wrap themselves in flags while looting the country they claim to love. Both posture as champions of “ordinary people” while serving billionaire interests. Both scream about morality, family values, and patriotism while embodying corruption, cruelty, and hypocrisy at a scale that would have ended any serious political career a generation ago. Trump has been found liable for sexual assault. He has a documented history of misogyny, racism, and outright contempt for the rule of law. He is repeatedly linked to Epstein’s circle, praised authoritarian strongmen, undermined democratic institutions, and treated public office like a personal cash machine. Farage plays the same game in a British accent. He gets a free pass despite his proximity to the same toxic networks, the same culture-war opportunism, the same pattern of scandal that would destroy anyone else. Reform isn’t a grassroots movement. It’s a fear-driven marketing operation, propped up by billionaire money, bot-amplified engagement, and relentless misinformation. Immigrants. Minorities. “Woke elites.” Trans people. The EU. The media. There’s always a target, always a threat, always someone to blame. Not because it’s true, but because fear is profitable. Fear keeps people angry, distracted, and voting against their own economic interests. And that’s the real point. While people argue about flags and pronouns, vast amounts of wealth continue to move upwards. Away from workers. Away from public services. Away from communities. Straight into the hands of donors, allies, family members, and friendly corporations. Deregulation. Tax cuts. Asset stripping. Corruption dressed up as populism. The most grotesque part is the hypocrisy. The people who claim to care about faith, family, freedom, and national pride are cheering for men who violate all of it openly. Lying, cheating, assaulting, scapegoating, enriching themselves, and laughing while they do it. This isn’t about left vs right anymore. It’s about whether we’re willing to admit what this actually is. A billionaire-funded con that feeds on fear, corrodes democracy, and treats ordinary people as expendable. If this is what you’re still defending, then stop pretending it’s about values. At least be honest about what you’re supporting.

ICE is a paramilitary organization sent to blue states for the purpose of terrorizing Americans as punishment for voting against Trump. Understand that. Texas has 3 million illegals, Minnesota 130,000 at most. When you start from that understanding, the rest falls into place.

Trump is a c@nt and so is Farage.

Who benefits from Trump trying to start civil war and breaking with Europe over Greenland? Who benefited from Brexit - and it's latest costume change, Reform? Putin. If you support Reform, you are doing his bidding, part of the same plan. Wake up. Before is too late.

Trump applying stronger sanctions on the genocidal Russian dictatorship, an active enemy of the US and its allies? No, he’s raising taxes on Americans to punish European allies over the vast irrelevancy of Greenland in order to destroy NATO to benefit Russia.

Petition: By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

The hypocrisy of Kemi Badenoch today was stunning. She was Minister of Women for two fucking years (2022 to 24) !

You can just cut the words 'in burqas' from this headline. Kemi Badenoch doesn't talk to anyone in surgeries because she doesn't do them... theguardian.com/politics/202…
