Trying to debate respectfully. If we don't then the hatred which drives US politics awaits.

The arrogance of the EU ruling elites is immense. These dictators literally think they own Europe.
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
Today, Europe is Hungarian. We are stronger. More united. To the people of Hungary - you've done it again. You have spoken. You have chosen Europe. It's a victory for fundamental freedoms.

@NileGardiner What exactly was "crazy" about Hilary Clinton ?
English
This is rich, coming from Crazy Hillary.

Trump has become fully unhinged and we should talk about it.
English
@NileGardiner And the people of Hungary have voted in large numbers for more EU.
English
Hungary has always been European. The EU is not Europe, it is an artificial construct that tramples upon European sovereignty.

@BethRigby But you do get why he put him there. Managing the UK / US relationship is completely unlike any historical precedent. And Trump can do immense damage to the British people.
That Starmer prioritized that over every instinctive bone in his body just shows his view of „service „
English
Been wanting to ask this for a while: ‘When I looked at vetting document, I didn’t get why you put him back into power. Surely your instinct was, I don't want this guy in govt? Are you angry at yourself that you maybe didn't follow your instinct?

"I hate the fact that I made that mistake and I dwell on it. I beat myself up about it." Sir Keir Starmer speaks to @BethRigby about his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador. Listen to the interview on #ElectoralDysfunction on Friday👉 podfollow.com/electoraldysfu…

@NileGardiner @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @sanchezcastejon @_FriedrichMerz You mean the same lack of support bandwagon that every UK politician is trying to jump on ?
English
The cowardly lack of support among many NATO allies for the United States over the war against Iran has been a disgrace, especially from @Keir_Starmer @EmmanuelMacron @sanchezcastejon @_FriedrichMerz
Fox News@FoxNews
BREAKING: "We're very disappointed with NATO because NATO has done absolutely nothing." "I said 25 years ago that NATO's a paper tiger, but more importantly, that we'll come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours." - President Trump
English
Rubio says this war will make the world safer: a shameless lie. This war has radicalised an entire generation of Iranians to hate the west even more than they did before, while the regime either gets more hardline or collapses into chaos. The world is now vastly more dangerous.

@marcowenjones Don’t know anything about „friends“, but given his delight at cruelty I can make a pretty good guess on the (lack of) relationship with his father.
English
Serious question, does Pete Hegseth have any friends? #IranWar

@sophielouisecc Switzerland has higher immigration as a % than UK. But manages a much higher standard of living. To a large extent that’s because it‘s not full of people exhorting one cohort of people to hate another.
Maybe we should try that sometime.

It’s got nothing to do with a lack of supply and more to do with sky high net migration figures

@AllisonPearson Social cohesion is indeed quite difficult when there are some very loud mouthed „commentators „ determined to be as divisive as possible.
English
Starmer: “We are accelerating our social cohesion plan”.
Britain’s Jews will be hugely reassured, I’m sure, by a Prime Minister and a government that performs moral contortions to appease its fast diminishing Muslim client group.
How’s that social cohesion going, Keir?
English
@agallacher26 Well, when inflation and interest rates went up globally at the start of the Ukraine war, Labour said it was the Conservatives fault. That’s despite the US having higher interest rates than us. Works the same now then.
Also, Labour increased inflation before Iran.
English
Labour’s mortgage bombshell is starting to hit hard.
When Labour came to office in 2024, they immediately pushed up inflation, increased taxes, and caused unemployment to spiral.
With borrowing out of control, bills rising, and the economy in tatters, this is unwelcome.
English
@TheBeanEyesOpen @AllisonPearson MAD isn’t it ! Makes as much sense as a Judeo- Islamic tradition.
Maybe most sense is an Islamic Christian tradition as the two religions that recognize Jesus .
Fact is for all of history Jews were the easy target for right wing bigots. Post WWII they need a new target.
English
@AllisonPearson Easter is the time to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Jewish leaders called for the murder of Jesus. They hounded Pilate until he conceded and chose the death of Jesus over a thief. There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian. It’s BS. Read the Bible before posting this shit.
English
Britain has a major religious festival called Easter, the most important date in the Christian calendar.
The civility and success of our country was built on Judeo-Christian values.
We will not stay quiet if Easter is erased to appease a minority.

If your Faith feels undermined by chocolate box branding, diverse TV adverts or 8 mins of public prayer at a 2 hour interfaith event, then it isn’t your Faith under attack, it’s your sense of control, your discomfort with difference, and your understanding of what Faith really is
English
@LukeTryl There is no real path open to a right wing politician who isn't prepared to drive division against Muslims.
English
There’s a risk to Reform of failing to recognise that most of the public make quite a clear distinction between straight talking (one of the things many like about Farage) and what they will see as unnecessarily rude/nasty or just UnBritish coming from a politician.

'I really wanted to come on in a Reform tartan burka, but apparently I wasn't allowed' 'On day lets do one of these events not livestreamed. We'll do all the naughty stuff' Sarah Pochin says she wants to wear a tartan burka at Reform's Scottish Election launch

@DeborahMeaden My Dad taught me exactly the same ... has paid off, even when sometimes awkward.
English
The trouble with telling fibs is you need a massive spreadsheet to keep track of all the angles they affect… I have always found it easier to just stick with the truth… actually not always… since I was around 5 or 6.
English
@FraserNelson Now it seems there is no future as a right wing politician if you're not prepared to drive division against Muslims
English
Interesting old Ch4 clip, where Farage says he had never promoted religious or racial politics. At the time, he was right.
English
@LeftieStats @FindoutnowUK The other important one is Rupert Lowe for Reform backers.
English
@FindoutnowUK Amongst people who voted Labour in 2024, a narrow plurality prefer Zack Polanski as PM over Starmer 👀
English
‼️POLL | Preferred Prime Minister:
➡️ Farage: 15%
🟢 Polanski: 12%
🔴 Starmer: 9%
🔵 Badenoch: 8%
⚫️ Lowe: 7%
🟠 Davey: 5%

@JohnSimpsonNews Israel and Trump make it clear that they believe the Geneva Convention is only for woke losers.
English
The Geneva Conventions make it clear that attacks may only be directed against military objectives. A civilian object like a block of flats loses its protection only if it is being used to make an "effective contribution to military action."

@DalrympleWill Am just heading to Qingdao for my father-in-law‘s 80th birthday.

@MatthewStadlen @NJ_Timothy He is just acknowledging that the only way forward in right wing politics today is to scream about how much you hate Muslims
English
@NJ_Timothy Doubling down on your bigotry? You should be sacked. I’ve never voted Tory in my life but it’s clear to me that you’ve shamed your party as well as yourself.
English
I will not be silenced.
Labour are only demonstrating that they cannot see right from wrong.
They will not stand up for our way of life.
But we will.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
