Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

"Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a tardigrade, no time to talk
Don't care if it's cold or if it's warm
I've been immortal since I was born
Now it's alright, it's okay
If they irradiate me all day
Because it can help to understand
My weird proteins' effects on man"

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

If you read one thread this Christmas, make it this one. Especially if you are an angry Daily Mail reader
OK, strap in….

Here is part 2 of the “Tesco/(insert other brand) are cancelling Christmas” claims!

TL:DR? Christmas is alive and well everywhere you look.

And so too, sadly, is manufactured Christmas rage baiting.

Here is just 7 day’s worth of Daily Mail Christmas Rage bait

I know it’s a tad simplistic but this graphic does appear to hold true. Almost like many Reform voters don’t care if those at the top maintain their position so long as those above them are negatively impacted.

Obviously this doesn’t work for middle wealth Reform voters

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

This should be a wake up call to Keir Starmer. Trump is not a reliable ally.

Trump wants to weaken Europe and carve up Ukraine while cosying up to Putin. Britain and our allies in Europe must stand together against his threats and bullying.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.
