@mrjamesob.bsky.social FARAGE FLIGHT. Our educated young people are greener, left leaning more & pro EU.
Reform are absolutely everything they hate. The old people who vote for Farage have ripped our young people out of Europe & promise them a fossil fuel future of austerity & slavery to the 1%.

Trump is responsible for the shooting of the National Guardsmen in DC. he put them there to distract from the Epstein Files. Another crime to add to the hundreds of others he is guilty of.

Who knows what anyone's breaking point is? The rhetoric, betrayal, these abductions & assaults on people by masked thugs, the sight of uniformed & armed guards on every street might be particularly triggering & disenchanting for some individuals. IF this isn't a ruse to further this admin's agenda.

The thought of possibly losing asylum, especially for someone who was a member of Afghanistan's analogue of the Vietnam era Phoenix program, could be destabilizing.
No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

Last victim we hope. There's an entire Afghan refugee camp in Doha filled with afghans who helped the US during the war and they all just had their asylum applications revoked.

Yes, govt bent to pressure from MPs over the benefit cap.

That's how parliamentary democracy works - and why it's a good thing.

It means a leader has to carry a wider movement with them. There's a counter-pressure to the strategists in No. 10.

It matters that we elect a Parliament, not just a PM.

I see Farage now hates emigration as well as immigration. The trouble is, he’s a big part of why people are emigrating. Brexit has made the U.K. a less attractive place for everyone.

Then in Nov 2025, Chancellor Reeves froze them further from Apr 2028 to Apr 2031.

And it is only then when you call it out & call it wrong? Silence for over 4yrs, then complain about a decision on things 2.5yrs away!2/2

'This isn't an opinion. This is counting.'
- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn

What gets more attention?

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

The President of the United States of America - who is a stunning black hole of sociopathy and malignant narcissism - is emotionally incapable of wishing ALL the people of the United States a Happy Thanksgiving.

Incapable.

Oh and he threatened the lives of Dem legislators this week.

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.

It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?
November 27, 2025 at 7:41 AM
Why would they, they cheerlead everything we despise and despise everything we love. #fuckthetimes #fuckreform
Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

I have no clue as to what « might » radicalise an Afghan immigrant who had served for 10 years with US special forces…. Other than maybe because the US has turned on him and thousands of others and he no longer feels safe in his adopted country. Just a guess #fucktrump #fuckice

He really is a racist piece of shit
December 2014 and Nigel Farage defends dropped UKIP candidate Kerry Smith. He defends the racist slur "chinky", the homophobic slur "poofter" and suggests it is what people who live in council houses say (which is class based bigotry). Even Nick Ferrari is less than impressed.
