@ChrisVanHollen @DAGToddBlanche I heard it was $1.776 billion. See anything in that?

.@DAGToddBlanche when I raised this story to you earlier you said I was lying. Well, here it is.

So, I ask again, can you commit to the American people this convicted pedophile will not be eligible for a payout from yours & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund? nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…

NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NEEDS A REGIME CHANGE AS MUCH AS THE UNITED STATES ✊

This is not normal. There's something wrong with the President of the United States.

This is the most corrupt President in the history of our country. But let me be clear: every branch of our government now has corruption that is cancerous and eating away at our democracy. We must demand change.

⁨“All We Ever Talk About In This Country Is Immigration” Nish Kumar nailed it: this country talks about immigration nonstop because it’s the government’s favourite distraction from its own failures. If every immigrant disappeared tomorrow, nothing would improve, they’d just find a new group to scapegoat.⁩

Anne Applebaum: "The United States under this administration is no longer interested in leading democratic coalitions against Russia or anyone else. President Trump has begun to align US foreign and domestic policies with values and practices of the autocratic world. Democracy is no longer at center of United States foreign policy or American identity. President and his administration attempted to strip funding from USAID or Radio Free Europe, American institutions that once promoted democracy around the world. Trump verbally attacked Canada, European Union, America's Asian partners, placing inexplicably high tariffs on their goods. Trump shouted at Ukrainian president in Oval Office, threatened to annex Greenland by force, claimed that EU was created to "screw US," and echoed Putin in calling NATO paper tiger. Trump negotiated with Russia not to bring just peace to Ukraine or security to Europe, but also in order to help US businesses profit from lifting of Russian sanctions."

You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. Donald Trump is trying to do exactly that.    Welcome to Episode 15 of the Corruption Chronicles.    Trump is expected to drop his lawsuit against his own IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. In exchange, he wants a $1.7 billion slush fund to compensate people who claim the Biden Administration wrongfully targeted them — run by a commission he controls, operating entirely in secret, funded by your tax dollars.    Who’s in line to collect? Trump’s allies, the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with January 6th, and entities tied to Trump and his family.    This is corruption, and it has to stop.

Fact.

@Melbana222 @MykhailoRohoza @OlenaRohoza I was shocked when that happened and I'm still shocked now!

@MykhailoRohoza @OlenaRohoza You are EXACTLY right. Trump can do exactly what he wants…..and what his main supporters want. The price just needs to be established.

🇺🇸🧐 With a very long delay, I finally started thinking: why exactly does Trump behave this way — betraying everyone, destroying everything? And honestly… why wouldn’t he? In 2028 he will already be 82 years old. Another term is essentially impossible for him. And even if he were ever put on trial for everything he has done, he would most likely die during the proceedings — just as Pinochet once did. So, in reality, he has nothing left to lose. Absolutely nothing. And as one of the most powerful people in the world, he can afford to do whatever he wants. He does not even seem to care about the future of his own party members, because he will probably never live long enough to see what happens to them afterward. He is acting like a doomed man. A kamikaze. Someone who may enter history as a great destroyer — and perhaps he enjoys that role. You wake up in the morning and think: “What else can I do today to make all those insects down there panic and run around?” Then you simply press a button and watch the spectacle of fear, chaos, and pain unfold. Putin is probably the same way.

Nothing says patriotism like supporting a foreign pedophile dictator.

😂 Xi Jinping sat on a tall chair while Trump was given a shorter chair with a soft cushion so he sinks & appears smaller than Xi China humiliated Trump in front of the world. Just look at his scowl!

@mcncbckb @VoWSilla I belive the left don't usually act like twats mate.

@VoWSilla Would love stats to be published of how many from UTK were arrested & charged with an offence already seen 2 released without further charge compared to the lefts side

Did anyone see what happened to this gal? So many fake and unnecessary arrests yesterday. Rumor is: "This poor girl was arrested for having a fake sword. Obviously in costume, sword was in a sheath around her waist, police then lied to her and told her she wouldn’t be arrested, the sword would just be confiscated. Then took her around the corner and slapped the cuffs on her. She was completely cooperative and obviously very frightened. Felt very sorry for her." @VoWalesOfficial

@DamianLow3 Kier starmer 👍

Burnham has donated 15% of his salary every year since becoming Greater Manchester Mayor. Farage took a £5 million gift and regularly talks the UK down when he goes to the US to suck up to Trump. Who do you think would serve the country better?

Has anyone in the press picked up what happened in 2019. As @BylineTimes reported, Farage and Johnson colluding with US based Bannon to topple May. According to Ben Habib, Thailand based Harborne paying Johnson and Farage to stitch up 2019 elections bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/ban…

I am just a voter looking for the truth. Nigel told Beth Rigby the £5 million was for security, then when asked why he did not declare it he said it was a gift. Beth then said the rules say even if it is a gift, if in doubt declare it anyway. Nigel replied he knew that and he was not in doubt so he did not declare it. But then in the Harry Cole interview he said it was not a gift, it was a reward for 27 years of Brexit campaigning and delivering. So my question is simple, if you are changing what the money was for, from security, to gift, to reward, then surely that shows doubt. And if there is doubt, the rules say declare it. I am not the Commissioner, but even a child could work that one out. This is not hard to investigate because the evidence is coming from the person under investigation. What you say matters, and I really cannot see how the Commissioner can come to any other conclusion.

I really don't understand, regardless of whether you agree with him politically, why the people of Clacton put up with Farage. He's never in his constituency, he spends more time in America with Trump. He pockets £1m a year in pay from jobs outside of his role in Parliament, while not turning up for any Commons business that he can't be the centre of attention for. He gets millions from foreign-based crypto donors, in exchange for favours unknown. Even if I was politically inclined to be a Reform voter, there's no way on earth I'd vote for a man who clearly demonstrates, time and time again, that he's only in it for himself.

Affiliated random Labour members do not get invited to private Councillor inductions. This man is a habitual liar and belongs nowhere near a leadership role. Still no retraction or apology.

Hi Russell, considering I am the only Labour Councillor on the authority and I was not at the induction (as I have been here 9 years), this is a complete lie and a breach of standards @reformexposed

The level of personal hostility directed at Keir Starmer over the last week deserves scrutiny in its own right. Not because he should be immune from criticism, but because the tone and intensity of the attacks tell us something unhealthy about the state of democratic politics. 1. Starmer is a conventional political figure. Cautious, legalistic, incremental. He frustrates people precisely because he is managerial rather than messianic. Yet the reaction to him often goes far beyond disagreement, tipping into visceral hatred more commonly reserved for authoritarians or demagogues. 2. Much of this hostility is disconnected from concrete policy. It is not about specific votes, proposals or outcomes, but about projection. A belief that Starmer embodies betrayal, bad faith or hidden malice. That kind of politics runs on suspicion rather than evidence. 3. This matters because democracy depends on the assumption of good faith among opponents. You can think a leader is wrong, timid, or misguided without believing they are fundamentally illegitimate. Once politics becomes moralised to the point of demonisation, compromise is reframed as treachery and pluralism as weakness. 4. The pattern is familiar. In fragmented, polarised systems, anger concentrates not on extremists, whose intentions are clear, but on moderates, who disappoint maximalists on all sides. The centre becomes the lightning rod precisely because it resists totalising narratives. 5. There is also a media and online dynamic at work. Incentives reward outrage, not proportionality. Algorithms favour contempt over analysis. Over time, this creates a political culture in which relentless personal attack feels normal, even virtuous, rather than disgusting. 6. None of this is a defence of Starmer’s decisions, instincts or record. Those should be argued over robustly as you do in a democracy. The problem is the substitution of critique with hostility and the quiet erosion of democratic norms that follows when political opponents are treated as enemies rather than rivals. 7. A democracy cannot function if every election is framed as an existential struggle against internal evil. At some point, the target may change, but the damage to trust, restraint and culture remains.
