Old MAGA white lady says I should “go back to my own country” if I don’t like Donald Trump’s America. So, I parked my buffalo in her driveway, set up my teepee on her front yard and said “I’m home, what’s for dinner?”

🚨 Police Scotland have found no criminality relating to the finances of Yes Scotland. It comes after a newspaper report claimed there was £1.5m 'missing' from the pro-independence group's accounts

Endless streams of English MPs and English commentators, talking about Scotlands resources. The very same ppl who’ve been relentlessly telling us that Scotland is too poor to be independent, for years.

1979: UK was sitting on a revenue bonanza from North Sea Oil, had National Debt of just £80Bn & owned all it's utilities, transport, infrastructure & millions of social homes. 2026: UK has £3Trillion national debt & virtually no assets. Capitalism has destroyed our kids' future

Muriel Gray, the vortex of doom. The Establishment know why they appoint her. Her appointment is never bliss, it is the kiss of death...

We deserve to know exactly what military, economic and political support this country has provided to Israel. The last government did everything it could to hide Britain’s complicity in genocide. Why is this government following in its footsteps?

@mehdirhasanOct 20
To be clear: both the Lib Dems and Labour are saying that they will refuse to form a coalition with the Greens, even if it as the expense of a Reform or Tory government, because of a Green Party conference motion condemning a political ideology that’s led to genocide? Really?

I am ruling out our party entering into a national partnership with any party that is committed to a dangerous and antisemitic policy like the Green Party’s. Here is my letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and the Board of Deputies of British Jews 👇

They mention Idi Amin here, who I know very little about. A quick read tells me he was responsible for around 500,000 deaths, expelled 60,000 Asians & expressed support for Hitler. It doesn't mention anything about Amin introducing bus franchising.
