Speaking as a Brit, there's not much we could have done. The biggest change has been Trump, giving Netanyahu free rein & supporting Putin in Ukraine. I guess if we could have voted in your presidential election, the result might have been different?
they totally lack self awareness
Nepotism…LOLOLOLOL
Accountability is essential in a just society.
History will ultimately catch up with Trump and his family.
Rupert seems to be the go-to guy for Trump now. Believe it or not Farage isn't extreme enough for him.
Farage made a big song and dance about flying to the US to lobby against our national interest. He wasn’t even given the time of day. Unpatriotic and pathetic.
What happened to the precedent of loyal opposition standing behind UK interests abroad? Farage is undermining them.
😡😡
His war drove up the price of oil just in time for Bessent to wave sanctions on Russia so their war machine is funded bigly. There's nothing quite like making sure an enemy has $ to use against you.
Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”
None of it was true.
The Government has its own (respected & orthodox) textbook on the law of war, pictured, which is used regardless of which party is power.
so we don't notice a US style health service, mass deportations of brown skinned people, elections restricted to white voters, benefits cut, Farage & his sponsors coining it, etc?
They plainly don't understand that most people don't share their obsession with flags
Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
perhaps we need to look at a more rational way of funding government?
Drone attack alerts have been declared over Novorossiysk, Anapa, and Gelendzhik in Russia's Krasnodar region, with air defense already active over Krymsk.

Farage will just deny he said what he said, even when it's visible to all. He'll say he was "misquoted" or video clips were "taken out of context". He's one of the most proficient liars ever.
Graham: You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
Body camera footage newly obtained by CBS News shows the moments leading up to and after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot US citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in March 2025 and contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the killing.
That'll go down well with the Scottish electorate preparing to vote shortly
Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.
Everyone knows who and what Reform UK stand for:
⚫️ The wealthy few.
⚫️ Scrapping international human rights protections.
⚫️ And privatising the NHS in favour of an insurance-based system.
The worrying part is that some still think it’s worth it because they believe immigration will be stopped.
This is disgusting. Risking lives for their own selfish greed. I despise those people so much...and the feeling is growing.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
