Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

The irony is that one of the reasons Harriet Harman decided not to pursue Badenoch for hacking her website was a belief that more black women in politics was a good thing. So, in a small but salient way, Badenoch owes her position to the very solidarity she now mocks.

Still can’t believe how crass and pathetic this was from Badenoch. Genuinely embarassing stuff.
Utterly juvenile and unparliamentary antics from Kemi Badenoch during her response to the budget.

Desperate, undignified and ineffective.

Utterly classless from Kemi.

Desperate, personal, gutter attacks - not economics.

The few remaining sensible tories behind her, look mortified.

What an embarrassment to parliament she is.

Badenoch's response is a mixture of anger and arrogance.

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.

If only there were a word for such a party.

Conservative ministers as well as the government should apologise to the thousands of carers treated disgracefully under a failing, broken Carer’s Allowance system.

As things stand, carers may face many more months of being hounded by the DWP.

When the racist comedian Bernard Manning fell out of fashion in more tolerant times and stopped appearing on TV he defended his long history of appalling offensive "jokes" as nothing more than "banter"and insisted that he "had a go at everyone".

This is the Bernard Manning defence.

Funny how Rigby never grills Farage on his alleged Russian links or that mysterious money for his foreign-national girlfriend’s Clacton house - but she’ll happily blubber on about Starmer gossip. Farage’s muppet, through and through.

Reform UK’s Russia shame is rooted in Farage’s long record of licking Putin’s boots. He’s pushed Kremlin-soaked bullshit for years on Russian TV, then pretends innocence now Putin’s exposed as a tyrant. His only consistency is hypocrisy and talking utter crap. #ukpolitics

This isn't ancient history either. Farage used the term "globalist" to describe Grant Shapps just three years ago.

These are age-old antisemitic terms, and they tap into racist right-wing conspiracy theories about a one world government.

There's no excuse.
