"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair" It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

Danny Tommo is an ex-drug dealer who has been convicted of armed attempted kidnapping. He also has a history of abuse against women and has been accused of plying a Telford grooming-gang survivor with drink and drugs for sex which is something the victim’s father has spoken publicly about. We now have MPs defending this man after he committed serious criminal behaviour involving a bladed article at sea. These are extremely dangerous examples to set. We should not be idolising, defending or celebrating people who commit serious crimes. Because if this man were black or a migrant, these same people would be screaming for the book to be thrown at him and demanding he be deported. This is about normalising extreme, aggressive behaviour towards anyone who opposes them. When MPs start defending criminals who are now involving knives, the message that sends is deeply disturbing. People like Danny Tommo should not be defended. They certainly shouldn't be celebrated, especially when they have a history of abusing women, the very people they are claiming to be protecting by their actions.

We need more to come out of the closet
🚨 Brexit has been an “unmitigated disaster” and an act of economic and political self-harm, says @richardbranson Tony Blair now says Britain should commit to rejoining the EU within a decade. But why sacrifice another decade? @andyburnham must abandon Labour’s anti-growth red lines and establish a clear route back into Europe, starting immediately with the single market. We swapped an F1 car for a hatchback, drove it into a ditch and spent ten years insisting the ditch represented sovereignty. It is time to get out.

For those who seem confused. England literally means “land of the Angles” The Angles were Germanic people who migrated here centuries ago. We are a nation born of immigration you ignorant, racist fucks.

🚨 OH NIGE…. I’ve seen this film before. Huge tax cuts. Slash corporation tax. Cut taxes on wealth and property. Deregulation. Promise it’ll unleash growth. The Reform-linked CFABB now proposes going considerably further with tax cuts AND ultimately abolishing the state pension.

You can be furious about illegal migration. You can believe the small-boats crisis has been catastrophically mishandled. You can demand tougher borders. But what exactly is achieved by taking a knife to an inflatable dinghy in the middle of the Channel while a rescue worker is still standing on it? Hampshire Police say they are now conducting enquiries into footage relating to damage to the boat by Danny Tommo - or as his mum calls him, Daniel Thomas.

So Danny Tommo has now decided to slash an inflatable boat in The English Channel while an emergency worker was on board. He did warn him to get off the boat though, which was so thoughtful of him, and other vessels were very close by, but as soon as he stabbed it his own boat sped off in an incredible moment of bravery. Anyway, to commemorate this numbnuts putting an emergency worker in grave danger, here’s my link to donate to the RNLI - rebrand.ly/imvl9mb. I’m only doing this to counteract the sheer number of idiots celebrating this news. I’ll get dogs abuse on here for doing this. I. Do. Not. Care. Also, if someone can identify who this poor sod in orange was working for and they have a fundraising link as well, please message me and I’ll add it.

I think the most interesting thing about this Harry, King Charles & Earl Spencer story is Reform received 2 donations of £36m from crypto-billionaires & Farage also got a personal £5m donation from one of them.

Dale Vince has more talent than most of us because he combined two terrible ideas in one. - Increasing the rate of CGT? *Loses* money unless accompanied by wide-ranging reforms. - Increasing the personal allowance? One of the least effective tax cuts for boosting growth

Latest records show that RNLI donations have increased by 5000% over the past couple of weeks after far-right backlash. The RNLI is on track to record its highest annual fundraising total in its almost 200-year history.

Replying to @NickBuckleyMBE
I worked with Farage from 1999-2003 when he was first elected as an MEP, sharing an office with him in Strasbourg. I stayed at his home, travelled with him, dined and entertained when we were in Europe, and worked with him in the UK. Outwardly charming, he is in fact a vindictive, aggressive bully, with a huge chip on his shoulder. He is intolerant of criticism, has no loyalty to anyone, and will shaft anyone who disagrees with him, gets in his way or poses a threat (usually by underhand means, via third parties). I am not surprised, therefore, that you have come to your view. Most people who have been close to Farage feel the same way and would not trust him in the slightest. Many more will come to the same conclusion, and eventually the Farage bubble will burst. I hope it does so before he does even more damage.

Great to see Dutch politicians backing up RDW and their support for Tesla FSD Supervised
Nieuwe technologie moet je kritisch opvolgen, maar ook eerlijk beoordelen op de cijfers. En die zijn opvallend: buiten de snelweg ligt het ongevalsrisico met @teslaeurope FSD Supervised volgens de gerapporteerde data bijna 10 keer lager dan bij manueel rijden. Ook op de snelweg zien we een daling. Verkeersveiligheid en innovatie kunnen perfect hand in hand gaan. nieuwsblad.be/binnenland/zel…

Talk about throwing your own hand away. Maybe Ratcliffe is right…. Thank god my spouse has an EU passport.
🚨 Notice who is missing: Britain 🇬🇧 Mark Carney names France, Canada, China and the United States as the four countries at the forefront of AI and says Canada 🇨🇦 and France 🇫🇷 must join forces to shape its future. We possess world-class researchers and universities, yet much of the technology and intellectual property created here is developed or owned elsewhere. While Canada and Europe build alliances around AI, defence, energy, space and critical minerals, Brexit Britain stands outside the room congratulating itself on being a “global leader”. Talent without capital, scale or strategic alliances does not translate into power.

100% spot on.
🚨 Canada has invited Britain to team up with the emerging Canada–Europe alliance. Brexiteers demanded a Canada-style EU deal, outside the single market and customs union, and promised Britain would prosper through its special relationship with America. Instead, Brexit helped legitimise and embolden the nationalism that returned Trump to power. America has changed. Canada is now building an alliance with Europe to resist economic coercion and calling Britain back towards the European family. Canadian Finance Minister @FP_Champagne nails it: “We are independent and sovereign, but we are stronger together.” That demolishes Brexit’s central lie. For middle-sized countries, sovereignty is strengthened by working with like-minded powers. Cooperation protects self-determination; isolation leaves countries exposed. @AndyBurnham should accept Canada’s invitation. But this alliance must become a bridge back to the single market, customs union and ultimately full EU membership, not another mechanism for avoiding the decision. The world has changed. Britain must change with it.

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social tonight that the United States has reached an "Infinite Life Agreement" with Denmark and Greenland, one that gives Washington permanent control over the island's security, bars adversaries from building bases or making sensitive investments there without written American approval, and costs the United States nothing at all. He promised a large new military presence and called the whole thing a dream come true. Denmark confirmed it within the hour. Copenhagen and Nuuk expect to sign next week at the UN General Assembly, and according to Mette Frederiksen the agreement strengthens security in the Arctic and North Atlantic while recognising the Kingdom's sovereignty, its territorial integrity and the Greenlanders' right to decide their own future. Jens-Frederik Nielsen calls it good for the entire Western alliance, and neither of them mentions control, vetoes or eternity. That may be because most of it has been sitting in a drawer since 1951. The defence agreement signed that year, under the NATO umbrella, already lets American forces build bases and move freely across Greenland for as long as the alliance exists. Trump has spent eighteen months threatening an ally to win something America never actually lost. Stay informed, follow @Microinteracti1
