He was so butthurt by millions protesting his authoritarian regime, he posted an AI clip of him in a fighter jet dumping crap on people exercising their constitutional rights.

It’s the kind of reaction you would expect from a mentally unhinged lunatic or a petulant child.

Not a President.

We must ban silent protests against genocide, in order to make people safe.

We must not ban a known violent and abusive football hooligan team, in order to make people safe.

Make it make sense please.

The notorious far-right Islamophobe, Tommy Robinson just came back from a state-sponsored visit to Israel, is planning a rally to support Maccabi Tel Aviv

Violence is now a real possibility on the streets of Birmingham on November 6

Keir Starmer is now directly associated with him

I don't agree with everything the Green Party stands for (same as every party I've ever voted for) but it is nice to feel there's a genuine alternative. Love that some on the right are questioning where the funding comes from for the Greens. Um, ever considered where Reform get their funding?

The argument we need to let football thugs in because they are from Israel is a losing argument.

No one with agrees with this nonsense.

Sadly unions have shown they often talk the talk but when it comes to the crunch they always back Labour no matter how right wing the Labour Government has become. Most unions are nothing more than insurance sales agents. They’ve lost their way sadly

Unions warn Reeves they could abandon Labour as she pushes for more welfare cuts

Exclusive: FBU general secretary Steve Wright has warned that there is growing pressure on unions to disaffiliate from Labour ending political donations

I still have no idea what Number 10 was thinking intervening over policing. If they ‘win’ the standoff, Keir Starmer personally owns any incident that happens around the match. And he’s broken the precedent of interfering in operational matters, and so will be asked to do so relentlessly.

Just a 'NORMAL' morning on #R4Today
Nick Robinson attacks a breakthrough in cancer diagnosis as it might cost the NHS extra money.
Then attacks a local MP in Birmingham because he's an 'ally' of Corbyn.
FGS!😠

Green Party on the right side of this 'debate': 'the Green Party backed the decision, saying it was "irresponsible" for Starmer to question a local authority's safety decision'.

It is working with police and exploring what additional resources are required to allow all fans to attend.

I don't want hear about Prince Andrew giving up his titles.

I want to hear about him losing his freedom.

We have the laws to prosecute people for serious sexual offences committed in other countries.

Why don't we use them?

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

Labour every bit as corrupt and morally bankrupt as the others

Ian Fraser @ianfraser.bsky.social · 7d

Worth noting that Labour deputy leadership candidate Bridget Phillipson has been handed £60,000 by the Israel lobby, and that pro-Israel former hedge fund manager Stuart Roden has donated £80,000 supporting the office costs of Phillipson and Lisa Nandy? #bbclaurak

Israel lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet

Exclusive: Labour’s top team has accepted hundreds of thousands of pounds from pro-Israel funders.

Labour Party deputy leader contest.

I won't vote for Bridget Phillipson or Lucy Powell.

Both are right-wing.
Supported two-child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts.
Snooping on benefit claimants' bank accounts.

In the words of Billy Connolly, “Don't vote, it only encourages them.”

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion
