"US treasury secretary accuses Beijing of trying to damage global economy, as US and China roll out tit-for-tat port fees"

So ok for the US to bully everyone, but China can't fight back? The idiots clearly don't understand the Chinese.

Yes, political violence against an elected representative is unacceptable but Nigel Farage accusing others of dangerous political rhetoric is like Pol Pot accusing someone of unacceptable levels of mass murder.

Farage criticises ‘disgraceful’ rhetoric after alleged attack on Reform council leader

George Finch, 19, says he was called a ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’ during incident in Warwickshire on Friday

“An essential condition today for entry into the upper echelons of Conservative party politics is being willing to at least pretend that you think taking Britain out of the EU was a good idea. This is a never-ending lobotomy for the Tories”

Brexit will always ruin you in the end.

Absolutely nuts.

Over the past 10yrs, 110,000 new homes were built in the highest risk flood zones ( 1 in 13 of new homes built).
If this trend continues, 115,000 of the gov't's planned 1.5m new homes would also be in the highest-risk flood zones.

Millions more homes in Great Britain at risk of flooding, investigation finds

Every constituency projected to be at greater risk, with many areas likely to be uninsurable

I really cannot bear how Farage is getting away with bare-faced lies, again and again, through the silence and complicity of the UK media. It's all there. His political career can and shoud be finished. Instead, media are making his rise inexorable. The corruption and ineptitude are beyond belief.

It’s quite possible that the Green Party will be bigger than the Tories soon 🥳🎉🍾 The right wing media are struggling to comprehend this and will resort to gutter journalism to pull them down. But, they have nothing because this is about you and I, everyone 🙂

Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

Quite. For 40 years, I worked promoting equality & trying to eliminate discriminatory behaviour in the workplace & in our communities. Strove to help people understand each other's map of the world to foster understanding. Then the power-hungry Tories & slimy frog sowed their hatred. Bastards. 🤬

Interesting @jonnelledge.bsky.social . I left Twitter & joined bsky when you still needed an invite. I wasn't seeing the people I followed & was getting stuff I didn't want. I was so pleased when the sudden mass migration to bsky happened. It's a good space now. Is X even relevant 🤔?
