I’m shocked at how many are voting Reform Ltd. I know people are often herd like and stupid, but this is a while other level of self-harm. The same people who are currently whining that Brexit was a bad idea, now voting for the party whose leader brought Brexit to the table. Ugh.
Also, I expected a lot more Green councillors - those numbers are nowhere near what I thought they should be.

I presume every home or accommodation in that state will now be mandated to have two bathroooms, so no male in the residence will use the same facility as any female in the same residence.
Only female staff to clean and maintain female facilities; and only male staff to clean and maintain male facilties. Hopefully plumbers and outfitters will be available as male and female to kit out or do any essential maintenance also.

Unfortunately, Starmer is now supporting him by admitting and enabling the B52s to arm and fly from the UK. He may claim it’s to protect British interests.. Trump is still an angry, ungrateful wretch. The UK population wherever they travel have been put in great danger by a cowardly PM in thrall to Trump and Netenyahu.

How many dead or disabled troops are the USA families prepared to accept in this illegal war that’s destroying much more than The USA? Does Netenyahu act as POTUS? Is Trump and are his advisors that stupid they don’t remember the mess of Afghanistan or Iraq? None of the intended goals were met. Just more death, destruction and hate was created.

It’s not good when #Israel with the endorsement of #Trump decide to bomb a gas field in #Iran.

I’m really surprised #reformLtd continue to remain as popular as they apparently are.

What happens if the winner is an isolated house in the countryside, or a millionaires mansion? And can a government part legally run a public lottery like this? Encouraging gambling and all

Perhaps the push for Ireland’s full reunification, Wales & Scotland’s independence from London control will sharpen a few minds. When England has to stand alone as their three former colonies join the EU and thrive, England’s demands to cherry pick will be neutered. The other three will be using Euros, and charging England full price for exports like food, water, energy; and there will be borders. The EU has its border and the reciprocal arrangement should be cancelled.

Iran and its allies can and will continue to do relatively small strikes that undermine the USA and its allies anywhere in the world for as long as they want. Lone wolf attacks very likely to become more common. This stupid, vanity, distraction project by Trump et al is going to get very very expensive for the whole world.

Well, not really; as Bondi’s department were forced to release more documentation pertaining to the story of the child that bit Trump - allegedly.
But they released the bare minimum, and people are now demanding all the rest of those documents. Plus the fancy Zorro or whatever ranch Epstein had down in New Mexico is being searched. That’s a new thing. The Epstein story is never going away, no matter what he does. It will continue to return until the truth is out there.

Sliding in the polls. His repressive policy announcements are not gaining any ground. And Trump not meeting him has taken his ‘importance’ away. Add in his risible nonsense over the Chagos islands; and his 200K plus given to a crypto grift run by the worst former Chancellor imaginable.

The cops certainly do not help. Their responses tend to be appalling. As for the judiciary and the courts and lawyers…… it seems to me that the majority of them are so hideously misogynistic and homophobic/transphobic there are no words. The entire system needs a major overhaul, that it will probably never get. Certainly, Lammy’s proposals will make everything a million times worse than they currently are.

i hope that people can see there is an alternative. They voted Labour in droves because they were sickened by the Tories corruption and malfeasance: and were betrayed. Since then the media have relentlessly promoted ReformLtd as the akternative. It is now increasingly clear theres another one - Greens, who are articulate, can and do win, and are out there with a message, a platform, and solutions. Best of all, they are not depending on corporate donors and running to the US

I really don’t think this is a sensible suggestion; especially since the BBC is so politicised and continues to polarise and alienate people with biased programming. Continual platforming of Farage/Reform, scandals around sexual predators to name just two issues. I pay my licence fee, but am wondering if it’s even worth it for the two BBC programmes we watch in any week - namely Repair Shop & Silent Witness. I’ve given up on BBCQT, and all the political programmes, even the BBC news.

Clearly, there’s a much bigger backroom informing Starmer and Labour that just the McSweeney/Blair/Mandelson lot. Cruel and ignorant decisions and policies continue apace and traditional Labour ethics and values have vanished entirely. This is most evident in Starmer’s compliance with an illegal war in The Middle East (even more criminal than the Iraq one): and with Mahmoud’s appalling policies towards immigrants & refugees.

From the #BBC
published at 08:43
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has accused Donald Trump of "bombing the negotiating table out of spite", in a new post on social media.
"When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when big lies cloud realities, unrealistic expectations can never be met," he says. "The outcome? Bombing the negotiation table out of spite."
Trump "betrayed diplomacy and Americans who elected him", he adds.

The Republic of Ireland did it, back in the day. Contraception was illegal, so was divorce. Women were subject to their husbands financially and physically and psychologically. A child outside of marriage was a scandal for the woman - never the man… that’s how a government regulates sex: by denying all women’s autonomy, and criminalising trans and gay people.

His action won’t result in a good outcome for the people of Iran, because he’s ignored the culture, tradition, politics, history, financing etc. Colonial demands, coercion and control have never created a good outcome, especially not remote ones. Just look at the history of every country the US has invaded, bombed or starved, especially in the Middle East. And Israel (the chief puppeteer) is certainly unloved and loathed by most. All the US does is impoverish and enslave.

#Trump cares about nothing and no-one: never did, never will. He only cares for himself, his ego and how he perceives others are a lived to view him, and of course - inflating his personal wealth.

Starmer is now a war criminal just like Blair. This war is even more illegal, as there has been no authorisation or sanction by Senators or politicians in USA. Nor has this even been discussed in Westminister, or a vote taken on it. I hope this costs Labour any remaining credibility along with Reform - both are cheering on POTUS in the illegal actions. 🤬

I can see no reason in the world why Iran, Afghanistan, Gaza, Cuba, Venezuela and so many other countries would ever trust the west ever again - every time such countries engage in honest talks for trade, peace and good understandings they are betrayed, lied to, stolen from, oppressed, enslaved, and their history, language, culture destroyed.

That big finance is doing this suggests to me they know Trump and his administration won’t be gone in three years time. They know a situation is being created where this administration is creating a permanent structure for themselves as controllers of the USA - much like Putin in Russia, Xi in China, Kim Jong Un in Korea etc. EU and others need to be independent of this [and Starlink & AI & Palantir etc].

The casual and social violence and negation of trans and gay people and their right to exist in equality with everyone else that politicians, religions and judicial decisions are encouraging is part of this violence against women.

A #Labour MP supporting all the Tory positions on trade, politics, Union, Northern Ireland…. 🤮 Pandering to the #DUP & #TUV, who will never be appeased
How about Northern Ireland being granted its rightful place as part of the Republic of Ireland, and Westminster taking its finger off the Irish pulse?

Face masks seem like a good investment - and those people who like to do all kinds of weird and wonderful make up tricks could make a fortune…

The current Labour administration is paving the path for this. People have been arrested and charged and convicted for holding a meeting discussing possible protest. The courts and judges can refuse to hear the defence case, and forbid the accused or their barristers from telling the court what and why their planned an action. People are charged and described as ‘terrorist’ for holding a sign with certain words in public…..

I believe a rather depressed executive from Vue cinemas has said one ticket has been sold for the first show, and two for a later show. This film isn’t about audience figures: it’s a soother/bribe paid by a company to stay in Trumps good books. It’s probably costing that company a lot more than they ever envisaged. And Trump won’t have to pay Melania’s price for silence - it’s covered in this $40 million plus.

That depends on the judge. There are plenty of judges quit unconcerned with misogynistic lines if questioning in assault cases: provocative clothing, drink taken, previous sexual history etc. it’s very disappointing that a victim of such an assault would advocate against a jury system for any trial.

And delved into a bunch of his usual threats, lies, intimidation, drugs, racism, Venezuela, Greenland, NATO,……. All the regular rambles in his hoarse droning voice. He insulted pretty much everyone in the room and the countries they represent - and NOT A SINGLE ONE got up and walked out.

#Starmer is compliant to everything #Trump demands. It could not be more evident. He will do nothing about #Palantir, or the AI ‘investments’ in the #UK, or the continued use/abuse of UK airbases by the Americans. It would not surprise me at all if he joined that Pieces Board of Trump’s, assuming he can get his hands on a billion dollars. #PerfidiousAlbion as ever.

So make vague noise, admit there’s breaches, and do precisely nothing at all: meanwhile Farage gathers more millions, continues his blatant law-breaking and aims to become PM, with the support of a pliant media and a toothless administration. 🤬

He’s demanding some kind of special signing ceremony at #DAVOS - to do with his #Gaza Peace/Pieces committee. Consternation all round. You are not wrong - completely, comprehensively lost all sanity. What’s more worrying is the sycophants around him enabling all of this.
Dementia & Alzheimers sufferers often get very lively and aggressive at night - this can be seen in the deranged posts he’s sharing on #TruthSocial, and his agression to women and media is clear for all to see.

Mark Rutte’s private [no more] message to Trump is now on his social media, and it’s so embarassing - even more so than the ‘Daddy’ trope he used previously.

This was floated previously. I don’t think it was particularly successful. It keeps all that student income out of the UK too, and it’s very expensive for the universities.

Rosindell was suspected for a rape/assault charge in 2022 (iirc); but charges did not proceed because the cops claimed it didn’t meet the evidence threshold…..

More guns in the USA per person than pretty much anywhere else in the world. I reckon there comes a point when people will fight back - using the abhorrent doctrine of ‘defending their castle’

Those opposing ICE and such have not moved to violence…..yet. They have been using peaceful means like whistles, noise, recording and exposing who and where ICE are. But I think ICE are escalating, regardless. Their brutality has the backing of Noem, Homan, Millar and such. Laws and boundaries are being ignored. Republican political unease is being ignored. Trump and his administration are pushing for an autocracy/despot regime. If it goes to Civil War it will be very very bad.

If I could prevent all and any Bluesky stuff from showing up in my feed, I really would. Want nothing to do with it, but it seems posts can migrate across when others share them.

He’s got Tommy-Stephen-Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon with an Irish passport to do damage in Ireland; add in Conor MCGregor [currently doing pretend religion all over the place]; and the #BurkesOfCastlebar who had some far-right ones at the gates of a school yesterday as they continue to stalk the parents, staff and premises. Political parties like #Aontú would be comfortable with #Bannon, and some of the independents. #Ireland is aware, and we know it’s dangerous and uncertain times

No. #Trump is only interested in personal wealth and the wealthiest. Everyone else is dirty and horrible and deserves to die in his world, especially if they aren’t nubile blue-eyed blondes.

Given the number of guns per person in the USA, I’m honestly surprised there has not been a bigger pushback against ICE to date. But I think, if Trump,p invokes the Insurrection Act, things could get very ugly and bloody, very quickly indeed. What will people have left to lose?

I am not convinced he can evaluate information sufficiently to understand any of this. China is in trade surplus and increasingly so. Trump only sees transactions through a ‘how do I personally benefit from this?’ lens. As he declines cognitively, he’s even less capable of understanding or accepting he’s wrong.

Has Mitch McConnell had some kind of of revelation? When did being appreciative of the USA’s neighbours ever apply to any previous statement he ever made? He’s as complicit as the rest of the current administration.

Yesterday 17K football fans cancelled their World Cup tickets. FIFA is holding an emergency meeting. Some of the countries due to play have had all their citizens banned by the USA. I suspect this is only the beginning of the fallout.

Every word of this. Time to #BDSUSA. The problem or hindrance is the UK’s leaders and potential leaders in waiting who are in thrall financially, business wise and psychologically to the current US administration and its rapacious attitude.
