#BBCBreakfast: "... families had to be led to safety through the flames.. it wasn't just homes, cars were also torched by young masked men in these predominantly unionist streets, but the target here was immigrants.."
This is what the likes of Reform are inciting.
D-Day wasn’t about keeping desperate refugees out of Europe.
It was about defeating a fascist regime that treated human beings as less than human.
Hegseth using that anniversary to score cheap political points is cynical, disgusting & fucking shameful.
BREAKING: DOGE DISASTER! Huge outbreak of deadly flesh-eating parasites erupts in Texas cattle thanks to Trump and Elon’s DOGE cuts!
Eradicated from the U.S. for a half-century, a dangerous flesh-eating parasite known as the New World screwworm is back, thanks in part to the Trump administration’s tariff squabbles with Mexico and foreign aid cuts.
Detected in a Texas calf near the Mexican border, the discovery is triggering serious fears for the American cattle industry and already sky-high beef prices.
The parasite’s larvae burrow into living tissue of livestock (and occasionally pets or humans), causing severe damage and potential death if untreated. This marks the first confirmed case in Texas since 1966.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says they’ve deployed teams, started quarantines, and are releasing sterile flies, but the Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller ripped the federal response as too slow and ineffective.
He’s now calling on Trump to “throw every available federal resource” at the problem before it becomes a full-blown disaster.
The outbreak comes at the worst possible time.
The U.S. cattle herd is already at its lowest level in 75 years, and beef prices are through the roof. A wider infestation could cost the industry billions and hammer American families at the grocery store.
Critics point directly at Trump administration policies that likely worsened the situation. First, ongoing trade disputes and tariff threats with Mexico have slowed joint eradication efforts.
Elon Musk's DOGE dismantling of USAID has seriously hampered regional efforts to stop the parasite’s northward march through Central America and Mexico.
And finally, the administration’s dismissive approach to climate change, even as warming temperatures expand the areas where this pest can thrive.
Once again, Trump’s incoherent “America First” agenda of trade wars, aid slashing, and science denial is coming back to bite American agriculture and consumers in the wallet.
MAGA gets its jollies by “owning the libs” by cutting funding for policies that protect the country against the outbreak of disease, but right now a literal flesh-eating parasite is showing up on our southern border and now we are much less prepared to handle it.
If this latest Trump-era disaster has you furious about rising costs and incompetent governance, like and share!
Perhaps Nigel Farage could give an emergency address on the following:
The £5 million 'gift'.
The £1 million 'gift' to stitch up the 2019 General Election.
The Clacton House stamp duty tax dodge.
The 17 breaches of the MPs code of conduct.
Where exactly has he been hiding.
Former Tory chancellor Jeremy Hunt has a new book out called Can We Be Rich Again? The answer is yes indeed, provided we buy seven flats and then fail to declare them.
Farage does another u-turn…
After Anna Turley gave him 24 hours to report his claimed Russian hacking of his phone he now is saying he “wants to move on from the issue and no longer discuss it".
Why would he say that after making such a serious allegation 2 days ago.
