The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

BREAKING: TOTAL SURRENDER! The Kennedy Center moves to fully comply with a federal judge by removing Donald Trump's name from every inch of the building.

He's so defeated that he's not even putting up a fight...

The center's general counsel sent out an official memo earlier today directing employees to begin stripping Trump's name from all materials including brochures, signs, and the official website. Email signatures and letterhead must be changed immediately.

The sweeping direction comes less than a week after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center Board — which is staffed with MAGA hatchet men — did not have the authority to tack their cult leader's name onto the beloved institution. The new memo is the first time that the Board has publicly conceded that they will heed the judge's order.

In his ruling, Cooper tore into the board for using “an insufficient, one-sided presentation of information” when it moved to close the center. Additionally, federal law “makes crystal clear” that the center is named after JFK and only JFK.

“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name and only Congress can change it," wrote Cooper.

Beyond just directing the removal of Trump's name, the memo provides specific deadlines for compliance. This is not some abstract "we'll get to it eventually" response. This is concrete compliance.

This victory over MAGA is particularly sweet because the renaming of the Kennedy Center, as petty as it is, is something that Trump cares deeply about. It's part of his broader obsession with building and renovating structures after himself. He knows that his presidency is a historic failure and he's desperately grasping for some semblance of a legacy. Now, he's being denied even that.

Please ❤️ and share if you're thrilled to see the Kennedy Center restored to its dignity!

If Keir Starmer, Ed Davey or Zack Polanski or even Badenoch took a £5million bung or used the language Farage has twice..

They would be GONE. The media alone would have hounded them out of their job within a week.

There's your two tiers alright.

And it is the media.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden SHREDS the media's double standard toward the Trump family in one devastating post — and EVERY word is documented.

Hunter Biden just posted something on X that cuts right to the heart of America's broken media landscape — and it's IMPOSSIBLE to argue with.

"So let me get this straight," he wrote. "Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom," referring to the comments the CNN anchor has made about disbelieving some of the claims in Jill Biden’s latest memoir.

"Meanwhile, Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land." TRUE. Over 100,000 Albanians are in the streets. Anti-corruption prosecutors have opened an investigation. Flamingo habitats are being bulldozed. It BARELY registers on mainstream media.

"Don Jr. married the daughter of Epstein's banker." Also TRUE. While Epstein survivors read their FBI abuse reports aloud outside the Justice Department, Pam Bondi refused to answer a even a SINGLE question about Trump and the Epstein files, and DOJ lawyers intervened to make sure she didn't.

"A startup that Donald Jr. fund backs just got a record $620 million Pentagon loan." FACTCHECK: ALSO TRUE. While Trump's own financial disclosures show him trading stock in companies his administration then hands billion-dollar contracts to, Don Jr.'s SHADY investment connections to Pentagon contractors receive almost NO scrutiny from mainstream media.

"Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5 billion in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted." Also TRUE, but that story got almost NO coverage.

And then Hunter Biden delivered the punchline that lands like a sledgehammer: "And I know: 'But what about your paintings, Hunter?'"

HUNTER IS 100% RIGHT: His art sales, laptop, and legal troubles consumed years of breathless media coverage. The Trump children's CORRUPT overseas business deals, foreign investments, Pentagon contracts, and connections to Jeffrey Epstein's associates a free pass.

And while Jake Tapper attacks Jill Biden is being attacked for a book, Jared Kushner is bulldozing protected wetlands for a $4 billion resort while his father-in-law runs foreign policy, while raising BILLIONS from shady deals with foreign governments.

There is simply NO comparison!

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

Donald Trump had over 3,700 stock transactions since the war in Iran started, and he profited over 220 million dollars. Don't tell me how he "donates his presidential salary" ever again you stupid fucking MAGAs

@antmiddleton Celebrating police officers being injured is disgusting but is a reminder that Middleton was convicted of the unlawful wounding of a male police officer and the common assault of a female police officer in 2013

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

When the fuck will people wake up and realise that Farage wants your anger. The attention outrage and violence of poor people makes him very rich. That’s why he incites and manipulates.

Much like MAGA, people need to realise that this is a class war and Reform are the elites.

People can’t seem to get it into their heads that without a functioning healthy planet you have no economy, no food, no AI, no wealth, no jobs, no security at all, nothing, that’s it, period, over.
Wake up, for fucks sake.

@Rosewood_Farm I despair. I'd hoped a Labour Govt. would get it right on nature instead of this weird notion that protecting it is a block on growth. It's the equivalent of the Blair idea that PFI is a good way to invest in infrastructure & public services.

@GethinJones123 @SpaceAgeMark I wouldn't wish this on any country and innocent Russian citizens are caught up in Putin's barbarism. But Ukraine is entitled to defend itself against Russian leaders' aggression.
