Another great night for Starmer's "Labour" party as Welsh Labour lost the Caerphilly Senedd seat to Plaid Cymru. Tactical voting by many to keep out Reform UK? Probably. Horror by voters as Starmer lurches "Labour" to the right to try to gain Reform UK votes. Again, probably.

Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia & Spain are all boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest should Israel take part. The European Broadcasting Union needs to ban Israel, as they did Russia in 2022.

People getting stopped by the Police for wearing "Plasticine Action" t-shirts. Yep, that's what Starmer's continuity Tory Govt has done. Utter madness. Oh & stop selling arms to Israel.

Reform is a Limited Company
Farage owns 53%
It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit”
It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget
It wants to privatise the NHS
& invest in fossil fuels
Close the BBC
& break International law
It’s a scam
Please retweet widely

Fuhrage's private company has banned the flying of the Ukraine flag at the Councils it controls. Could there be a better sign that he's a Russian asset?

Dear media. It isn't "British" steel because: 1 - the Scunthorpe plant was owned by a Chinese company; 2 - various Govts have allowed plants in other parts of Britain to close, most recently the Indian owned plant in Port Talbot.

So, China has imposed a 34% tariff on all goods from the USA. Well, in 2024, the USA exported $13.35bn of oil seed, fruits, grain etc to China. Guess this doesn't bode well for the US agricultural sector. Great job Trump, you absolute idiot.

Re: Zelensky not wearing a suit, note this 👇
Just in case anyone is interested, here is a picture of Winston Churchill in 1943, wearing his wartime 'siren suit' on his way to meet President Roosevelt. He wore the same suit when he went to ask for more money under Lend-Lease the year before.
