Here’s the @bbcquestiontime clip that triggered the @reformparty_uk “let’s talk about anything but Brexit can we?” approach to debate … even its architects know it has screwed our economy
Elon Musk wants to shape the future while flirting with far-right politics. The world is watching. 🚨

Anyone defending Tommy Robinson needs to explain exactly what they think he should be allowed to get away with.
A man who claims to be a great British patriot, lives in Spain and spends the majority of the year on holiday at the expense of his “donors” was sitting in a holiday resort in Cyprus while stirring up civil unrest in Britain. Journalists reported on it. That is their job. It was a legitimate national story.
And because Robinson didn’t like the scrutiny, he sent private investigators after the journalists, had them tracked and photographed, exposed their home addresses and their families, and threatened to turn up at their homes, saying “I’m coming to get you”. One journalist needed personal security. Another had to remove his family from their home.
If you believe that is acceptable behaviour, that a man can threaten journalists and expose their families to intimidation simply because he dislikes their reporting, then you aren’t defending free speech. You’re defending intimidation. A jury heard the evidence and convicted him. Stop pretending this was a conspiracy because you don’t like the verdict.

Joyful 👌
Tommy Robinson threatened this guy with violence at the airport and asked his fans to dox him so he could find him later.
He’s a violent little thug who uses his social media following to intimidate and harass people, and that’s EXACTLY what he’s just been found guilty of.

This geezer is a parasite who feeds off ignorant poor people, he wants them to believe their lives are a crock of shit because of immigrants, when in truth they are a crock of shit because of corrupt politicians just like him and the rest,classic tactics, of divide and rule..
She didn't monetize her sacrifice—she answered the call.
The Senate hearing room went cold when the insult landed.
Tammy Duckworth sat across from J.D. Vance, waiting for him to answer her question. She'd come prepared with policy, with specifics, with the kind of detailed inquiry that veterans' issues demand. But instead of engaging, Vance chose a different route. He compared her to Forrest Gump.
Let that sink in for a moment. A sitting senator, facing a decorated combat veteran who'd left parts of herself on an Iraqi battlefield, thought a fictional character was the appropriate reference.
Duckworth's response was surgical. She didn't raise her voice. She didn't need to. When you've piloted a Black Hawk helicopter through hostile fire, when you've felt the explosion that tears through metal and bone, when you've woken up in a hospital missing both legs and part of an arm, petty insults from small men barely register.
November 12, 2004. That's the day her helicopter was hit by an RPG over Iraq. She was co-piloting, focused on her mission, when the world turned to fire and shrapnel. The rocket-propelled grenade destroyed her aircraft and nearly destroyed her. Most people would have let that be the end of their service story.
Duckworth spent a year in recovery at Walter Reed. She learned to walk again on prosthetic legs. Then she went back to work.
No book tour about resilience. No cable news circuit trading on sacrifice. She didn't monetize her Purple Heart or turn her injuries into a personal brand. She served in the Illinois National Guard, then ran for office to continue serving in a different capacity.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel. Combat veteran. Purple Heart recipient. The first disabled woman elected to Congress, then to the Senate. The first senator to give birth while in office, bringing her newborn onto the Senate floor because the rules hadn't contemplated a working mother who'd also taken shrapnel for her country.
When Vance tried his cheap shot, she treated it exactly like what it was: noise from someone who'd never answered a question he found uncomfortable. She'd faced real danger. She knew the difference between actual courage and performance art patriotism.
That's who Tammy Duckworth is. Remember it.
Trump just walked into his Texas rally for Ken Paxton, opened with "Hello, Texas," and seconds later said the quiet part out loud: "it's good for my ego."
Trump, on Trump, for Trump. Not your bills, not your schools, not Texas, just his ego.
sean lock could see right through russell brand's facade, even in the face of people trying to defend him and talk sean down, he just knew there was more than what meets the eye
