@implausibleblog It's taken her this long to realise he lies about everything... or is it just that she is now the target of the lies?

The BBC have today corrected the false claim made by Nigel Farage to @bbcnickrobinson that net migration was falling because of rising emigration, not falling immigration (which is 90% of the fall).

Have I got it right that a man who wants to be the British Prime Minister organised a raffle for a year of free energy and turned up on a doorstep with flowers to hand the prize money to some people who support his party and who have met him several times?

Is this all a dream?

Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

@whitecarz @campbellclaret But then Vance becomes President.... there are no good options.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

@ClaireCoutinho That is terrible Claire! Who could possibly have closed the refinery in your video?

Oh wait…IT WAS YOU! 🤡

You literally can’t make this 💩 up. Do you think we are so thick or our memories are SO short that we can’t remember that?

Hi @GoodwinMJ - it’s been the 48 hours since our @GBNEWS debate, where you promised to correct any incorrect quotes. Any update? Where can I find my new corrected copy, with corrections or sources to the quotes and facts we questioned?

Why we buy gas from Norway:

1/ Thatcher privatised North Sea gas extraction in 1982.

2/ Private companies plundered our reserves while Norway’s 100% publicly owned Statoil managed theirs strategically.

3/ North Sea oil & gas peaked in 1999 and U.K reserves are now 90% gone.

Farage hates this video of him revealing his plans to sell off the NHS.

It would be a shame if it went viral again... 🫢

[Alex Barros-Curtis MP @ABarrosCurtis]

Would you invest £215,000 in a company run by the man you said “broke Britain”?

@Nigel_Farage has.

He’s backing a crypto scheme led by the architect of Liz Truss’s disastrous budget.

Don’t be fooled by the @reformparty_uk rebrand - they're the Tories 2.0

[naomi 😷💙💛 @NaomitimT]

@GoodwinMJ That's a lot of words to say you want to shoot & hunt wildlife not put them on banknotes. Daddy Farage will be so proud..

Keir Starmer calls our both Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage who both wanted the UK to join the US and Israel to attack Iran, but after the consequences of the attack, both are saying the UK shouldn't:

"I took the decision not to join the US-Israeli attack on Iran"

"The leader of the opposition, Kemi Badenoch, attacked me for that decision relentlessly"

"She said the UK should have joined the US and Israel on the original offensive strikes"

"Then yesterday, in the wake of the economic consequences, Kemi Badenoch totally abandoned her position"

"She told the BBC: I never said we should join"

"She told the BBC: I haven't said we should have gone in with the US"

"That is the mother of all u-turns on the single most important decision a prime minister has to take, whether to commit the UK to war or not"

Kemi Badenoch, "I think the mother of all u-turns is him saying they're not increasing fuel duty"

"How will a rise in fuel duty help with the cost of living"

Keir Starmer, "Fuel duty is frozen and it will remain so till September"

"The most important issue is de-escalating the situation in Iran"

"This is one of the most important decisions a Prime Minister has to take, whether to commit your country to war"

"The day after the initial US-Israeli strikes happened her shadow foreign secretary said: the US-Israeli initial attacks were absolutely right and is a decision my party supports"

"Kemi Badenoch said: why hasn't the prime minister worked with the America to be much more pro-active"

"Last Wednesday she said: we are in this war whether we like it or not, what is the PM waiting for"

"So after 9 days of saying join the war, join the war, join the war, yesterday she said: I never said we should join"

"Kemi Badenoch and the Reform leader Nigel Farage have been spooked because they jumped into supporting a war without thinking through the consequences"

"And now she's furiously trying to back peddle"

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary. And if it does endure the economic consequences may prove ruinous, something he would have had to own if he had backed the effort.

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

[Dan Therriault @dantherriault]

The strategy of a “double-tap” strike, bombing first, waiting, and bombing again, is to kill survivors, rescuers, civilians and emergency medical workers. This is why the Geneva Conventions define this double-tapping as a potential war crime.

In the case of the school in Minab, the US in the second strike was killing parents in horror over the children being killed in a surprise attack and trying to find them.

This is the greatest number of civilians killed by the US military since the My Lai Massacre in the Vietnam War.

This strike on schoolgirls was perpetrated on the very first day of the war. When all strikes were meticulously planned in advance.
