PhD Psychology, researcher. On here, mainly interested in politics, (not just UK). After we lost Brexit, worried about further damage populism and national conservatism could do to democracy and liberty. Other passions: autism, feminism, cycling. #FBPE
Boris sharing articles referring to Ed Miliband as the worst possible choice for Foreign Secretary. A reminder that when Johnson was foreign sec he was busted getting a blow-job under his desk, had Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe jailed in Iran & got drunk & "accidentally" attended a KGB house party
One of the best things that Count Binface has done, simply by being the sole opposition Farage faces, is that he has completely destroyed Farage’s attempt to frame the election as ‘the people against the establishment’. Binface is the opposite of the establishment. The framing won’t work.
You would think that a country that votes to name a scientific research ship Boaty McBoatface can surely trust Clacton to vote for Count Binface, yeah? It’s a very British, dare I say patriotic, thing to do. Clacton for British humour! No need for throw-toys-out-of-the-pram Farage.
After Trump, a football numpty who doesn’t know what a red card is, but thinks he can judge what doesn’t count as a red card offence, cheated with Infantino, Belgium’s win is delicious poetic justice.
The sums involved in the MPs expenses scandal were chicken feed compared to the Farage £5m. HIs reaction - mind your own business - suggests he may not be cut out for this democracy thing app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73952/...

The Reform leader should be made to understand that transparency is part of standing for high office

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

The convicted felon and rapist literally thinks he’s more divine than the Pope. America, why on earth are you keeping this madman in charge? Get him out already!
I can’t believe the discussion in the media is ‘will Trump, or won’t Trump’ when it very clearly should be about ‘should this war crazy, cruel, vindictive, madman be in charge?’

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

The law needs to be changed to say: No person convicted of a felony, No person who's being indicted or under investigation, No person who's in the middle of a court case, Can or shall be able to run for President. ONLY UPSTANDING US CITIZENS! ALL Americans should be able to get behind this.
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

And isn’t it special that we have our own version of this ragingly inadequate and sinister misogynist… in the supremely inadequate Matt Goodwin, Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton. Please, Gorton and Denton, be better than him. Do not inflict this hideous piece of work on the constituency.
And just like that, Gilead was no longer dystopian fiction. “Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.” www.mediamatters.org/nick-fuentes...

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. 13,000 unredacted mentions and counting.
