What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

JD Vance doesn't want Americans to know this 🤫 Compared to Americans, British people are less likely, per capita, to be: killed killed by a gun killed by a knife killed in a road accident killed by a drug overdose killed by their own police killed by a far-right extremist someone who dies by suicide someone who dies prematurely someone incarcerated in prison someone who is morbidly obese someone who dies from excess mortality someone financially devastated by medical costs* someone subject to weaker equality before the law* someone living in a significantly flawed democracy* someone who spends higher % of income on childcare *Equality before the law: The UK ranks significantly higher on the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2025 (14th globally) vs. the US (27th). *Democracy: The UK remains a solid full democracy (ranked in the top 20), while the US has fallen to 34th and is classified as a flawed democracy, with notable drops in civil liberties, government functioning, and checks on executive power. *Medical costs: The US is the only high-income country without universal coverage. It has high out-of-pocket costs and surprise billing, spends nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare as the UK, but ranks worse on life expectancy, preventable deaths, maternal mortality, infant mortality, amenable mortality, and overall health system performance. But apart from that... 😂

While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash. The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.

"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered. The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Apologists for cruelty to animals is selective cruelty against Halal and Kosher Rupert Lowe your false outrage isn’t about animal welfare, it’s about demonising Muslims under the guise of concern

This short comment should haunt Farage. #Farage #ReformUK
