Stop Wes Streeting and UK Labour negotiating with US pharmaceutical companies. The NHS belongs to us it is not theirs to sell. Support your NHS or you will lose it.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Today on mainstream Media you saw the faces and heard the names and stories of Israelis held hostage.

But you didn't see or hear the Palestinians held hostage by Israel, except maybe to mention them as terrorists.

Do you see how biased the Media is?

I hate this man. I hate him with every fiber of my being. I detest him. I loathe him. I abhor him.

"But hate is such a strong, negative and unhealthy emotion"

I don't care. I HATE HIM.

This deserves more attention than it has received.

Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working".

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

Michael Gove admits that post-Brexit trade deals were bad for farmers

Michael Gove has admitted for the first time that the Australia and New Zealand trade deals negotiated by the former Tory government did not protect Britain’s farmers.

Hey MAGA, here’s a list of Trump’s shutdown achievements:

-Sending $20 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina

-Letting Qatar build an air base in Idaho

-Golfing trip while the troops aren’t getting paid

Is that America First? Or are you ready to admit he’s a f***ing liar?

If you see tattoos on any “supposed” or alleged masked ICE agent, log it and call the police. Especially if they are sitting outside of grammar schools heavily armed. There are now masked men attacking citizens for taking photos on public streets in Chicago. www.adl.org/sites/defaul...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

5 people died including a policeman officer.
Donald Trump was the author of the insurrection on January 6th.
He pardoned the perpetrators.
Never forget the verminous orange turd was and is responsible.
