They'd better be paying for this. Surely they've got enough money to fund their own defence.

Isn't this unauthorised diplomacy, which is a crime?

(Priti Patel also did this, and was never punished)

It's almost like billionaire agents of discord and hate have created a narrative that is starkly at odd with the reality of life in Britain isn't it.

A bunch of puerile frat boys, getting off on killing people. I do not have the vocabulary to express my disgust for this.

Absolutely. He has no fuckin right to be discussing anything with the US President unless it's about Clacton. Starmer should be stepping in, but he won't.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

A simple reminder for those who fail to acknowledge the very real possibility of WWIII… The fascist theocrats behind the plot to destroy humanity are Christian Nationalist End Times Zealots.

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.

When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.

He then got detained by Saudi guards.

This traitor is not part of the UK government. He has absolutely no right to be discussing anything with the US president. Negotiations are handled by the elected government, not the MP for Clacton 🀬🀬🀬

Freedom of Movement wasn’t just a policy.
It was a simple freedom: the ability to say yes.

β€’ Yes to a job.
β€’ Yes to love.
β€’ Yes to a new life in another country.

When that freedom disappeared, something subtle but important changed.

I've heard they are pretty strict there.

Andrew Neil lives in a mansion in France that he moved to using EU rules where he doesn't pay any tax in the UK.

And he spends his time moaning about the EU he chooses to live in and the poor state of the UK, which is due to tax dodgers like him.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

After Ecuador banned oil drilling to protect rainforests and indigenous people, the US targeted "designated terrorist organisations" in that country.

Were these "terrorist organisations" protecting the rainforests, Donald, and were they opposed to oil drillings?

WAR CRIME BY THE US.

An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.

The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.

THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.

This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
