Heseltine has just addressed a packed meeting of the European Movement at Tory conference. He does not show the restraint of most party leaders in his critique of Farage and Reform: “right wing equivalents to the fascists of the thirties are back on the march: Le Pen in France, AfD in Germany, Fdl in Italy, Vox in Spain and conspicuously Reform in this country. Much of President Trump's language in America coincides with words here in Europe. The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem which needs a solution although recent events here have cast a dark shadow…We must make clear that we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Nigel Farage. We have to deal with President Trump for the next 3 years. we don't need his mouthpiece anywhere near Number 10.”

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republican Eric Burlison just admitted that no investigation was done prior to Donald Trump immediately blaming DEI for the plane crash. This is the definition of incompetence.

BREAKING: Donald Trump face-plants on his first day back on the job with a humiliating geography blunder in front of reporters — immediately reminding Americans why they voted him out in the first place.

This man knows absolutely nothing...

A reporter asked Trump about his previous demand that NATO countries increase their military budgets to more than double, particularly as it relates to Spain.

"Spain is very low. Are they a BRICS nation?" Trump asked.

"What?" the confused reporter responded.

"They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. You know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out," Trump added confidently — and incorrectly.

BRICS is an intergovernmental economic association. It stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa but also includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

The "S" does not stand for Spain because Spain is not a member nation of the bloc.

"But uh, and if the BRICS nations want to do that, that’s OK, but we’re gonna put at least a 100 percent tariff on the business they do with the United States," Trump added, oblivious to his embarrassing mistake.

This is the man that MAGA voters have entrusted to keep us safe. He can't even be bothered to do the basic homework for the job. He's a lazy ignoramus and this term is going to be an unmitigated disaster.

It’s bad enough former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been allowed to spout his absolute boll**** about “Brexit saving lives” unchallenged on UK news shows - now he’s traveling the world repeating it!

Let’s stop him rewriting history - RT these actual FACTS

[Lady Mary One of tofu-eating wokerati 💙🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @Iloveautumn2]

I hate Brexit and all who enabled it. I hate Fascists. I hate the MAGA cult. I hate extreme Capitalism. I hate climate change deniers. I abhor anti-vaxxers. Above all, I hate traitors. I don't like all this hatred but it's hard to see my country and the world falling apart.

Do you want to eat this?

The UK will be flooded with chlorine chicken if we do a trade deal with Trump to avoid his tariffs.

(You can say you wouldn't buy it, but it would sneak into all sorts of chicken dishes, undeclared.)

The alternative is to get back into the EU instead.

As Trump prepares to take office in the US...

Who wants to rejoin the EU right now?

@StayEuropean I do

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

There is only one good response to the outcome of the American elections …

MEGA …

Make Europe Great Again ! 🇪🇺

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

A "growth budget" for UK? Rejoin the EU's customs Union, renegotiate a bespoke trade deal with 🇪🇺.

Use the billions in growth achieved before the next election to invest in areas that supported Brexit!

[European Movement UK @euromove]

This is what the new government needed to face up to in today's budget.

This is the real headline and they avoided it.

Brexit is the black hole we need to close in the UK economy.

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

So the release of information is 'proof of a cover-up' & the fact that *none* of the lies that incited riots turned out to be true is 'proof' that the liars were right all along. We really are in a very strange & dangerous place & Robert Jenrick is wallowing in the worst of it.
