Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.
There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.
Maurice Glasman, founder of Blue Labour - suggesting Iran becomes a monarchy and joins the British Commonwealth alongside Ukraine.
And people listening... like this is normal..
Kemi Badenoch claims the Type 45 Destroyer can’t intercept missiles.
That is literally what they are designed to do, and they’re world-renowned for it.
The Conservatives should wind their neck in and stop warmongering.
We will not gain anything by getting involved in a conflict with Iran.

Once again from Monday ...
More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

The Reality Show?
The Reality Show?
The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
I know, I know. I literally fought Leeds/National Front supporters back in the 70s. 😂
Right now I am supporting two Premier League teams.
Arsenal
And whoever is playing Man City.
Even, holding my nose, Leeds🙄
NEWS! Man who said he wouldn't get involved in foreign wars starts foreign war over nuclear capability he claimed was totally obliterated a few months ago newsthump.com/2026/02/28/m...
We've entered the stage of the news cycle where the clear initial information has been reported, fresh reporting is hours or days away, and the gap in between is full of talking heads either constantly re-stating the bleeding obvious and/or speculating wildly based on nothing.
My god. Did these people ever leave middle school?
Given Nigel Farage‘s Reform UK has modelled itself on Trump’s MAGA movement, it’s perhaps unsurprising that it’s now blaming its defeat in Gorton & Denton on “cheating”.
Echoes of Trump’s hare-brained attempts to overturn the 2020 US election result with false claims of electoral fraud?? 🤔
Viktor Orban is a pro-Putin authoritarian thug and the fact that Trump, Vance & Rubio have openly campaigned for him against freedom-loving Hungarians who want him finally out of power is disgusting, dishonorable & disgraceful. But typical of them because that is what they are.
Not all Jews are “white”. Jews originated in the Middle East and like other inhabitants were dark skinned. Many remained there and some moved to North Africa. If you go to Israel you’d see that immediately.
Given his convictions Robinson would not normally be allowed into the USA.
People are being rounded up by ICE and deported for far less. But they are brown.
Today's by-election is another illustration of the problems with FPTP.
The result may tell us less about what voters want to happen than whether they can game the system effectively to stop a result most *don't* want.
The electoral system should not be an obstacle that voters have to work around.
Presumably as these speeches are a public service Goodwin does them for free or just a very modest fee + expenses so he doesn’t become “elite” himself? 😂
Question: does Goodwin regard University Professors as part of his “elite class”?
Whatever their origins?
(BTW I knew Goodwin at Manchester U. He was very definitely middle-class by origin. I wasn’t. I have a highly developed class spidey-sense 😃)
Don’t give him ideas
🧵Reform's Matt Goodwin has said he is “not part of the establishment”, and criticised the “elite class”. But we found that his definition of “the elite” excludes the bankers, asset managers and global real estate executives who pay him /1 bylinetimes.com/2026/02/25/r...
Thanks James. Is that an opinion based on experience or something else? Not criticising - just want to be clear.
This guy gets it.
Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens
Interesting (genuine) question: does saturating by-elections with ‘outside’ campaigners really work?
Is there any research? Cos my hunch would be in some places/for some people it would be a turn-off?
What a good idea.
I generally tell them to take a hike, but turning the tables on them is sweeter.
