Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?
Odd that.

So cool. I didn’t know, but it’s not surprising since exceptional women in nearly every field, and especially black women, rarely get the recognition they deserve.
Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

So it appears that the donor of £9m to Reform UK also owns 10% of a crypto-currency company Russia has been using to avoid sanctions!?!

Nigel Farage was RIGHT about there being a "uni-party", but apparently it includes Reform UK!
Promising Reform's donors an electoral pact with the Tories is just more proof:
The Reform Party is JUST MORE OF THE SAME!!

Trump hits a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed more Americans than Osama Bin Laden. Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras--was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. Nearly 30,000 Americans die from cocaine overdoses per year. Many from Hernandez's cocaine.

When your opponent is an autocrat in government, you’re five nil behind at the kickoff
Polls for months have shown a huge lead for Orban's opponent. Now the HU government is doing what it always does before elections: increase social benefits, threaten opponents, rewrite election law. Trump promised to underwrite Orban's election spending spree.

Nearly 10 years after the referendum and 5 since Brexit took effect and now and only now are people who voted for Brexit all starting to realise it was a really stupid path to follow. Everyone is poorer. Question is when are politicians going be honest and start the reversal?

Britain has a secrecy problem.
In 2024, the govt answered just 29% of Freedom of Information requests - the lowest rate since FOI began.
Secrecy fuels corruption, bad governance, scandals covered-up to protect elites. Ministers don't answer questions in parliament.
Sham democracy.

Trump posted the follwing on Truth Social: ‘To all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety.’ It looks like the US is going to war with Venezuela and I doubt it’s about criminals. It’s about oil.
Seizing another country's airspace is an act of war.
Presidents of the United States don't have that authority. It's a Constitution thing. Have you ever read it?
If he follows through and Congress allows it, we no longer have a Constitution or a president.
