I watched Question Time tonight. Matt Goodwin does not seem to realise that nearly 98% of the population of the US is spawned from illegal immigration. All of whom arrived by boats. Where was the like of him protecting the rights of indigenous people.

I love my country, and that is why I am here. I am a patriot. I am totally annoyed by people who have isms who drape themselves with our flag and call us out as being unpatriotic if we criticise their isms. We need to take back control of our flag. We need to put our flag outside our homes, too.

Trump doesn't care he knows he doesn't have much time left so he's going to destroy as much as he can and kill as many as he can before he dies.

'Extremely Dangerous for Humanity': Trump Orders Resumption of US Nuclear Weapons Testing | Common Dreams

"By foolishly announcing his intention resume nuclear testing," said one expert, "Trump will trigger strong public opposition in Nevada, from all U.S. allies, and it could trigger a chain reaction."

Politico: "Reform UK will hold its third press conference in three days at 10 am. Head of policy Zia Yusuf and welfare spokesperson Lee Anderson will pledge £32 billion of cuts to disability benefit PIP"

Why so many press conferences?

Answer: Because they know the broadcasters will keep showing up

Nigel Farage again today calling for the UK to leave the ECHR

The European Convention on Human Rights PROTECTS US ALL

WE MUST PROTECT IT, NOT LEAVE IT

“The European Convention on Human Rights protects us all. The rights within it are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice, why victims of abuse can seek safety, & why disabled people are treated with dignity in care

Keir Starmer, who insisted last month that leaving the ECHR “would be a profound mistake" that should be resisted at every turn, has told MPs to abstain on the Reform bill to do so

Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social · 2d

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

Farage has removed the normal definition of racism instead.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

On Reform's Danny Kruger's reported complaints about parties being 'LGBT-supporting', a Lib Dem source says it's "disgraceful and completely unacceptable."

"Farage's MPs clearly have views that are completely out of step with modern Britain." He "must confirm if he agrees with these comments."

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.

And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

He thinks we’re stupid. He relies on it. He’s relieved the media nods along. He needs the racist vote. But has to seem ‘respectable’ to persuade others. He’s angry with Pochin because she exposed what Reform really is. A party that doesn’t like seeing black or Asian people. A racist party.

Under-fire Reform MP is not
'genuinely' racist, says Farage

Extract:

Nigel Farage said he is "very unhappy" with a Reform MP for claiming there were too many black and Asian people in adverts, but said he did not believe that she was "genuinely racist".
The Reform UK leader said that Sarah Pochin's remarks were "ugly" and
"taken on their own could be read to be very, very unpleasant indeed".
", but he
would not be taking further action against her.
He said: "I don't like the way in which she did it. I am very unhappy with her indeed, [and] if I felt the intention was deliberately and genuinely racist.! would have taken a different course.
He said that her comments should be taken in the context of "DEl madness".
He added: *I understand the basic point, but the way she put it, the way she worded it, was wrong and was ugly, and if I thought that the intention behind it was racist, I would have taken a lot more action than I have to date." Pochin was accused of "shocking racism" by the prime minister for the re marks made on Saturday in responseto a viewer on a Talk TV phone-in. The caller had complained that the demographics of advertising "don't represent what this country looks like".
Pochin said the viewer was "absolute-ly right", adding: "It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people".
". She said: "It
doesn't reflect our society and I feel that your average white person, average white family, is not represented any more. How many times do you look at a TV advert and you think that there is not a single white person on it?"

Sir Keir Starmer said that Pochin's views were the kind that will tear our country apart*. He told the BBC that the incident *tells you everything about Reform."

Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, "It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people,
full of anything other than white"
