He is a dying king of a dying kingdom, a dying empire, abd a dying idea: Britain is an irrelevant joke on the world stage, and it looks like Scotland is bound to get its independence sooner or later. I also read today that this year there will be more deaths than births recorded in Britain, for the first time ever, and that this is going to be the situation every year going forward. And on his deathbed, and the political cultural deathbed of everything he stands for - colonialism, genocide, pedophilia, slave trade, human trafficking, endless war, racism and deep hatred for humanity - this living relic of a monstrous past comes to the US to preach war, death and destruction (war with Russia, no less!), and is enthusiastically applauded, naturally, by a fake representative body that voted itself into not having any say on the war in Iran, and the siege and torture of Cuba. The West is an embodiment of everything that's sick and wrong with humanity (and that's on the off chance that they even belong to it)

King Charles is telling the United States government to prepare for a war with Russia by getting ready to defend Ukraine and “her most courageous people.” He reminds Congress that they fought together through two world wars, the Cold War, and Afghanistan. *The entire Congress clapped.

This is Yaroun in South Lebanon, right now. One of the oldest villages on Earth. Israel has annihilated everything. Every home destroyed. Every sign of civilian life erased. A village that stood for over 3,000 years — wiped off the map.

The Fraud@StarmertheFraud·
Your monthly reminder that Labour Together has deleted this image of Mandelson speaking at a 2023 Labour Together event alongside Johnny Reynolds hosted by Josh Simons and it would be a shame if it were shared
The Fraud@StarmertheFraud

Isn't this strange... Labour Together deleted this post from X showing an LT event at 2023 Labour conference, addressed by Peter Mandelson, @jreynoldsMP and hosted by Josh Simons. This screengrab was taken two weeks ago, so only deleted since then. Would be a shame if it was shared, widely, so it never disappears.

This was right after the shooting. Look at their faces. They are all smiling, laughing, and smirking. This is not how people react after a traumatic event. It is how people react after a staged event. They are all in on the con and it’s about more than the ballroom. It’s about building the military bunker underneath to ensure in the event of a nuclear war the corrupt politicians who caused the war will survive while we all die. We mean absolutely nothing to them. They use, abuse, lie, manipulate, and steal from us every day. Wake up before it’s too late.

Did you know Ukraine was the third largest importer of Bentleys in Europe in 2025? Did you know that Ukraine imported 15 of the new £600,000 Rolls Royce Spectres? Did you know Ukraine imports more supercars than Russia? I wonder where the money comes from and who drives them?

Lowkey
Lowkey@Lowkey0nline·
Eight years after this post, it has been acknowledged on camera that former Friends of the IDF director Robert Shillman is funding Tommy Robinson’s domestic activity and it is still barely reported anywhere in the UK media.
Lowkey@Lowkey0nline

Why has the revealation from an ex-employee that Tommy Robinson is being funded by Robert Shillman, who was at least at one time a board member for the Friends of Israel Defence Forces, been covered absolutely minimally by the press?

BREAKING Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Aadshit al-Qusayr, South Lebanon right now — during a ceasefire. Civilian homes. No justification. Just deliberate terror and destruction to ensure civilians have nothing left to return to. A war crime in broad daylight.

But we have countless billions to give to the ultra corrupt Ukrainian government. Zelensky and his mates aren't taking cheaper holidays or buying less expensive mansions, supercars and private jets.

JUST IN; STARMER SAYS PEOPLE NEED TO START SAVING & PREPARE FOR CRISIS "people might change their habits, where they go on holiday this year, what they're buying in the supermarket, that sort of thing."

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

I haven’t drunk alcohol in over 4 years but I don’t believe a total ban is necessary in Parliament and know Southwark brewers have loved being the guest beer in Strangers. I’m also unaware of any Labour MP who took money from women to hypnotise their breasts larger.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

.@ZackPolanski calls out the number of Labour MPs who are defending their right to drink & get drunk at work. The fact that these MP's are choosing this particular hill to die on shows just how out of touch they are.

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
On the third year of genocide, as Gaza gets hit by a plague of rats/fleas, EU bureaucratese and charity posturing are simply unsufferable. Uphold the Law. Stop arming & trading with Israel. Ensure ICC arrest warrants are enforced. Defend the defenders. Only then, talk charity.
Hadja Lahbib@hadjalahbib

Gaza: a rodent infestation crisis is unfolding due to overcrowded shelters, mountains of waste, disrupted sewage management & limited access to water and hygiene supplies. We continue to support partners delivering life-saving aid in Gaza, and call for unimpeded access.

There is simply no basis for any MP - inc grandstanding Labour dissidents - to vote for @Keir_Starmer to go to the privileges committee. It's in black & white that he followed the rules. This is the first socialist govt since the 2000s - you want to destabilise it for what?

Should MPs be banned from boozing in Parliament? Green MP Hannah Spencer has said she feels "uneasy" when she can "smell the alcohol" on MPs when they vote. She says people in normal jobs wouldn't be able to have a few drinks during a shift, so why should MPs? Do you agree?

Oh I see you’ve joined the clickbait club too on this Zack. 🎟️ The real outrage? The Greens’ newest MP has bothered to speak just once since entering Parliament last month. Once. I’ve spoken 10 times in the same timeframe. But Zack, I’d be happy to have a pint or (non-alcoholic one) with you any time to discuss rampant antisemitism in your party, your dangerous anti-NATO views or how your vibe based economics would bankrupt Britain. Cheers! 🍻
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

A choice for Labour MPs before a big set of elections to go out campaigning on: "MPs should be able to drink alcohol before voting because they work long days." They're really revealing themselves, aren't they? Time to replace Labour. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Hannah Spencer hasn’t spoken in Parliament once since her maiden speech six weeks ago. A woman who claimed she’d already done more than some MPs will do in a year. She has no idea what “Westminster is really like”, she’s a NPC. Meanwhile the Green Party want to legalise drugs.

🚨Breaking news: MPs are human and sometimes have a drink. Classic clickbait farming 👎 MPs work long days for constituents, and yes, sometimes share a drink in the evening with colleagues. Last week I was scandalously spotted with… an alcohol-free pint or two between votes 😱 But sure, let’s talk about that instead of the Greens’ wacky policies. Trying to distract us, maybe? 🙄
