Because the Prime Minster of Israel is telling the stupid buffoon in the White House what to do?

This is nothing. Just send Mahmood out again to announce some more anti-refugee policies and you can easily find your way to fifth place.

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again".
Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means.
Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down.

Polling holds too much sway over our democracy and governance. But the G&D by-election does show that Reform’s dominance is inflated by foreign/rightwing interests, irresponsible media support and Farage’s ego.
If progressives can win despite all that, then hatred really is overpriced. Hope can win.

From an ex-Hungarian MP @dailytelegraphnews.bsky.social, on April elections:

"The question is whether those who write the rules, distribute the money, count the votes, and announce the results will be willing to tolerate a world where they are no longer in power"

Donald Trump didn't like President Clinton being deposed, fearing the precedent it set for his future.

So today he assassinated the leader of a country. Is Donald simply too stupid to have considered *that* precedent?

Previously on America:

The US negotiates a treaty with Iran to stop it developing nuclear weapons which it then tears up replacing it with sanctions. Then it joins an air strike with Israel which allegedly obliterates the nuclear facilities. Then it launches more airstrikes and demands a treaty.

Remember this?

Donald Trump took the United States to war today, killing Iranian school children and risking the lives of people in America's military.

He is currently yucking it up at a fundraiser.

He's a shallow, glib person without any regard for the serious consequences of his lies, scams, and incompetence.

If ever you needed a front page to capture the crass yet also dangerous silliness of so much of our media, and the impact of right wing nationalism which has done so much harm through a history from which some seem so unable to learn

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

The lying, racist Mail on Sunday going Full Trump after its Far Right candidate got spanked in the by-election.

We need proper controls on dishonest journalism that peddles racial hatred.

Big "yikes" for all those alt-right "expats" waking up to explosions, fires and emergency sirens in Dubai.

Stay safe, guys.

But also... maybe take this moment to consider whether London ever felt quite so "lawless" after all?

The worry is only 80 are braced to oppose.

What on earth did the others join the party for when the Tories and now Reform would serve them just as well.

The dirty tricks (fake polling firms, vile vans) that Labour deployed in the by-election were wholly unbecoming of a party of government with a very chunky majority. Desperation dripping from every pore.

That's just a sideshow to the car crash of the result, but it shouldn't pass without notice.

Just can’t believe that wanting to financially punish women who miscarry didn’t swing the vote for him.

Stupid woke voters.

Joyful to see Goodwin and Farage having a huge wettie and rightwing media scrabbling around for credibility in the rubble of their cocky predictions and polling.
You don’t have this in the bag.We voted for change in 2024. That never meant hate-fuelled populism. It meant hope. You don’t give us that.

Imagine being Starmer. Now you have to find a way to ramp up against both Reform and the Greens.

Imagine being Badenoch. The governing party cares so little about you being in Opposition that you come third on the list of attack targets.

Imagine being Farage. Then wash your brain out with soap.

The Conservative Deputy Chairman touring the broadcast studios to talk about how this result is a disaster for Labour would have been somewhat more convincing had his own party not got just over 1% of the vote, while losing their deposit

Angela Rayner says that Labour must be “braver” and treat Gorton and Denton as a “wake up call”. A hint of a potential leadership bid in future?

If you built a campaign on attracting voters who think Muslims are some sort of sub-British enemy within, it seems a bit rich to complain about sectarianism.

BREAKING: Angela Rayner response to Gorton and Denton by-election result

Gregg Wallace and BBC settle damages claim Court documents state the claim against the BBC and BBC Studios has been

So disgraced sex pest Gregg Wallace sacked from his £400K a year job on Masterchef sued the BBC for £10,000 for “distress and harassment”

I’m hoping the 40 women who came forward to complain about him do a group action claim against him for the same and clean him out❗️👍🏼

They interviewing Hillary Clinton and not Melania, who is in dozens of pictures with Epstein and Maxwell as well as emails and allegedly flown in Epstein’s plane.
Why is that?

Don't watch The State of the Union tomorrow.

Donald cares more about his ratings than whether Barron gets leukemia.

Photo of Yusuf at a lectern saying “shadow Home Secretary” (Wot?) Reform's plan for a 'British ICE' combines cruelty with stupidity

Project forward to 2036 under a majority Reform government and the picture darkens further. Britain would be smaller, older and whiter; more isolated from Europe; paradoxically, more vulnerable to foreign interterence and less able to fund its own defence. The welfare state would shrink to a skeleton. Charity would fill the gaps. Flags would proliferate; rights would not. The police and courts would be politicised. The BBC could disappear. The NHS would survive only as a minimal safety net. Protections against discrimination would erode - you might indeed be sacked for being disabled. Migrants and even their British-born children could find their rights curtailed unless they were deemed to "contribute" sufficiently. Meanwhile, the wealthiest would enjoy a generous, low-tax regime.

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.”

Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination.

I see Toys-R-Us are marketing their new Shadow Home Secretary Dressing Up Kit (ages 5-8).
It comes with podium, name plate, dummy microphone, smart suit and an idiot.😊

Reform UK Accused Of 'Declaring War On Workers' Over Plan To Scrap Employment Rights Deputy leader Richard Tice said the move would help tackle the cost of living.

Swaggering moron, Tice, confirms again that Reform will scrap Labour’s improvements to workers’ rights.
Know your place plebs. Reform is a party for rich, racist white men who want to remove your rights to protect their interests. Don’t be their useful idiot.
