.@KamalaHarris will be a president for all Americans. She actually cares about making your lives better. Donald Trump only thinks about himself.
I want you to remember this: if someone doesn’t respect you, they should not represent you. That’s not what you need in your life. And we don’t need Donald Trump leading our country for another four years.

Here's our last parody song about the #USElection2024. It's called "Bohemian Trumpsody" (based on the inimitable @QueenWillRock but with only six voices & no overdubs) & we've self-trolled in it as 'libtards' already, just to save folks time who might be offended 🎶🗳️🤞

Does Trump invoking a fantastical hellscape where babies are being executed and immigrants are eating your cats and dogs resonate with anyone apart from his base (who are voting for him regardless…)?

All of those complicit in the Grenfell horror should be sentenced to at least ten years of hard labour on construction sites building homes for the country's poor.
They should be fined heavily so that they pay for the new homes too.

People should stop worrying about a return to the EU resulting in mass immigration from the EU.
Very few EU nationals would want to come here to live or work.
#Brexit has made it very clear that Britain does not welcome people.

What you are witnessing in Britain today is the direct result of…shamelessly blaming migrants/foreigners for crime, crumbling high steets and austerity, for which they are not to blame. As those doing blaming well know.
Matt Goodwin@GoodwinMJ
What you are witnessing in Britain today is the direct result of failed policies that have been imposed on the country for much of the last 30 years. Mass, uncontrolled immigration. The refusal to do what needs to be done to regain control of our borders. The failure to integrate newcomers. The refusal to counter radical Islamism and even recognise the very obvious failings of multiculturalism. The continued promises to lower mass immigration only to then lie to the British people by doing the opposite. And the growing tendency among the radicalising "liberal" left -as we see again this weekend- to try and silence and stigmatise all those who have been pointing to these very obvious causes as "racists", "xenophobes", and "grifters". My view is this. If you are idiotic enough to break the law then you should be arrested. And if you are stupid enough to use violence against police officers and emergency workers then you should face the full force of the law. Much like those antisemitic, pro-Hamas, Black Lives Matter protestors and Islamist sympathisers should have faced consequences when they too broke the law. But what is also crystal clear is that these protests are just the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath are millions of decent, hardworking, patriotic British people who have simply had enough of these disastrous policies, of being told they are "racist" or "far right" for wanting to change course, and who are routinely shut out of the national conversation. They are sick of an elite class that after watching British children be blown apart at pop concerts, murdered at dance classes, and sexually assaulted by Muslim gangs on an industrial scale continues to gaslight them by saying what this is really about is "social media", "misinformation", "disinformation", and "right-wing grifters coordinating riots from their holidays". As I say below --and no, I won't delete it--a serious response to these events begins with acknowledging that the status-quo is completely broken. No community in history has pursued this level of mass immigration and demographic change while having no integration strategy and come out on the other side as a healthy, vibrant, strong, high-trust, prosperous society. So what do we need to do? We need to end the policy of mass immigration. We need a freeze on all non-essential migration so that we at least stand a chance of absorbing and managing the record migration of the last quarter-century. We need to leave the ECHR, reform the Human Rights Act, and do whatever we can to regain control of our own borders. A country that cannot even control who is coming in and out is not a serious country. We need a new debate and policy on immigration in this country which, in my view, has now become far too dependent on people from outside Europe, who neither share our values nor way of life. We need to protect and promote free speech, free expression and free assembly so that people feel they have a voice, not rush to shut it down because the ruling class no longer understands what is happening. And we need, in short, to be doing the very opposite of what the current Labour government is doing, and what the previous Conservative governments accelerated. And we need to start doing it now. mattgoodwin.org

An MP labels violent criminals “concerned British citizens” and fans the flames of an already horrifically dangerous situation. If this is not a criminal offence, it should be. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Steve Reed, "Rwanda was a gimmick.. We were told going into the general election they spent £400 million to send four volunteers to Rwanda.. When Yvette Cooper is appointed Home Secretary, she goes into the department and finds out they have actually spent £700 million"
"My question to Conservative MPs is, did you know and were you involved in this cover up? Or did you not know, in which case they should be grateful that Rachel Reeves is now exposing the full extent of this catastrophic inheritance from the previous Conservative government"

Dozens of local councillors became MPs for the first time on 4 July and there is no legal impediment to an MP continuing as a councillor, but it is generally not seen as possible to do both jobs properly at the same time.
This posed no problem for the former Tory MP for Mansfield, Ben Bradley, who managed to combine the roles of MP and county council leader until 4 July, when he lost his seat and £91,346 salary.
Happily he can still rely on the annual £55,233 he gets for being leader of Nottinghamshire county council. Over the last three years he has claimed a total of almost £440,000 from the public purse for being in two places at once.

This is one of the worst Commons performances I have ever seen: Badenoch dripping with condescension towards a working-class woman who dared to have ambition.
Badenoch has neither warmth nor charisma. If this is the best her party can do, their oblivion will be richly deserved
