The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay.

When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

Lee Jones @leejones.bsky.social · 2d

It's how they're perceived. Barely anyone seems to have heard of Nathen Gill offline.
Never mind the shambles of Reform led councils.

Lee Jones @leejones.bsky.social · 2d

Yes. Many articles read like propaganda pieces.
The problem is that fiction often festers into fact in the public consciousness.
The crucial factor that will stem Reform's rise won't be the mildly persuaded, but the numbers of people who are motivated enough to not want them in power at all.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Reform UK in Leicestershire Council are paying consultants Newton £1.4m to do the job they claimed DOGE would do.

Thats £4.72 per Council Tax paying household.

It could rise to £30m they are paying Newton. Thats £101 per household in Leicestershire.
