To those who are shocked by MAGA'S supposed pivot away from free speech, this from Goebbels really does capture the spirit of what is happening now. America hurtling towards tyranny at terrifying speed.

More gutter politics from Labour. 'Put up flags everywhere and put humans in warehouses' - both these things are related - expressions of the same dire 'tough/patriotic' messaging that is leading to disaster.
Incredible that Labour can sink this low.

Only one institution in this country more gutless than the government, and that is the BBC. Wouldn't say boo to a Tory goose... even when the goose is whipping up xenophobic for political gain.

Pity the poor Labour Trump whisperers. You woo the bastards. You go (illegally) fishing with them. You bond with them, and then they fuck you over. Who'd have been thought?https://mattcarr.substack.com/p/twilight-of-the-trump-whisperers

Moral courage means recognising you've made a terrible mistake.
Cowardice means doubling down on the mistake because you're afraid of humiliation.
It will end in tears for Labour, and deservedly so.

Where does this despicable gangster-clod think they should 'evacuate' to? Is the West about to allow Israel's "pre-emptive" war to turn Tehran into Gaza now?
Is Israel allowed to do anything?
Are we 'civilization' or its opposite?
So many questions...

Those for whom the mass murder of Palestinians is a spectator sport will never have any problem calling on Israel to kill a young woman with more courage and honour than any of them can stand.

Friend of rapey trafficker guy holding forth on women’s reproductive rights. Seriously, how can anyone not see through this utterly transparent reactionary grifter? Neither of these two are worth the oxygen they use up.

Trump and Musk’s white supremacist stunt: erasing the murders of black women in the DRC while inventing murders of white farmers in South Africa. Quite the feat.

Isn’t it great that the president who presides over this obscenity is coming to the UK for a second state visit?
Isn’t our PM a strategic genius for inviting him?
Isn’t it marvellous that we are a sovereign nation now, reduced to stroking a psychopath’s ego in return for a trade deal?
