“What does Britain need from Labour? Not another new PM, but … radical action. (…) Some things are blindingly obvious: the “reset” with Europe is vital – we need to rejoin as fast as the EU will let us”. | Polly Toynbee theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“I’ll be all over the Farage £5 million donor story as soon as I’ve finished investigating allegations that Starmer owes a mate 22p for a Mars bar he bought him in 1987.”

🚨THE MEDIA IS ASLEEP. THIS SHOULD BE EVERYWHERE: Pete Hegseth launches a MAJOR contradictory blunder and says Iran’s nuclear facilities were already obliterated, NEGATING the entire reason for the war. Pete Hegseth is as DUMB as he is incompetent!

“Harborne's cumulative donations to Farage, the Brexit Party, and Reform UK now total around £27–29 million. This makes him the largest single individual donor to a UK political party or politician in recorded modern history”

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

🚨HOLY SHIT: Rep. John Garamendi OBLITERATES Pete Hegseth and calls him a liar right to his face: “You have been lying to the American public about this war from day one.” His entire remarks are 🔥 “This war of choice is a political and economic disaster at every level. …the strategy has been an outstanding example of INCOMPETENCE. …Despite the President's promise to lower the cost of living, gas prices are up 40% and inflation is soaring. So much for lowering the cost of living. The President has got himself and America stuck in the quagmire of another war in the Middle East. He's desperately trying to extricate himself from his own mistakes.” THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE! DAMN!!!

Absolute bombshell on Fox News. Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly confesses to war crimes. He admits the Trump administration deliberately targets Iranian civilian roads, plants, and factories to destroy their economy. Washington is intentionally starving civilians.

Why is the non-commercial BBC News running a plug for ridiculously expensive kids' football stickers for the World Cup? It's a tournament based on greed, run by a historically corrupt organisation which sucked up to Trump with an absurd peace prize?

What's to celebrate? Harborne lives and pays his taxes in Thailand - his 'charity' involves a secret £5m (!) to Nigel Farage personally. This degree of personal bankrolling and enrichment is unprecedented in our democracy. A scandal hiding in plain sight thetimes.com/comment/column…
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

We should celebrate British entrepreneurs who have done well, give money to charity and want the best for our country. Christopher Harborne has told his story to @Telegraph for the first time. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

Trump was 43 when his wife testified under oath that he ripped hair from her scalp and sexually assaulted a child. What part of this are people defending?

If you vote for Reform on May 7th, Kier Starmer will still be PM on May 8th, except you’ll now have an inept and shit local council too..

PMQs You have to question whether she just misled the house - twice - by omission. Firstly her Universal Credit comment - stated 1.5million more claimants under Labour BUT omitted that half of those are transfers from legacy benefits, a process continuing from the Tory Government. Then she stated the welfare bill is more than the tax take - with the obvious inference this is benefit claimants - except of course for the fact that the Tories moved pensions under the umbrella of welfare and £177billion or more than half the total amount is pension spend not 'benefit' spend
