If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Trump ordered today another lethal strike in the Caribbean, killing everyone on board a vessel. The "elimination" of 6 more people is not law enforcement; it's extrajudicial murder. This illegal campaign, which has now claimed 27 lives, is part of war plan against Venezuela.

You are not free bro. You have been conditioned to think that having your life used to build wealth for other people is freedom.

Stop being a racist and learn the difference between right and left wing politics x

Thanks racist for your remarks. Now go and educate yourself about who is really on your side and it isn’t Trump or Farage, Harris or Starmer. Stop doing their work for them x

There is no such thing as Palestine, there never has been and there never will be.

And I can’t be a fascist because fascism is a left wing ideology.

Sounds like you need to invest in some history classes.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Perhaps you could explain why you wrote ‘dies’ instead of dies @skynewsrss.bsky.social ????

Huda lost half her bodyweight in a matter of months, forcing her to be admitted to hospital. In July, she said she knew she looked unwell and that the war in Gaza had "changed" her.
