Not delivering mail for electoral blackmail👇is precisely the kind of unexpected, ‘creative,’ but deeply malign gimmick which makes it so hard to accommodate MAGA within the US political order Trump constantly looks for holes and cracks in the Constitution which he can exploit, like using ‘acting’ secretaries indefinitely, or not divesting from his businesses or releasing his taxes Previous presidents followed those norms. No one thought to use the mail as a partisan weapon. The laws & norms around mail are poorly known, bc no one ever thought to try this gambit before. But now, bc Trump insists on politicizing the bureaucracy, this whole thing will go to court just months before the election. Some Trumpist judge will say maybe there’s something to this. Then, we’ll be forced to have a big national debate about mail service which no one wants to have or knows anything about. It probably will fail, but only after a long, unnecessary debate over a cheap trick no other president would pull. It will waste lots of national energy which should go into more pressing issues. And it demonstrates, again, that MAGA refuses to accept the nonpartisan rules and norms which bound and limit US political conflict and so make it easier for partisans to get along with each other

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

The "Russian factory" in question manufactured missile parts and is absolutely a legitimate military target, along with its workers, who come to work every day to produce weapons that kill children in their beds and the elderly in their wheelchairs. Cry more.

Remember this, the outrage with the @SunderlandAFC stunt by @Nigel_Farage? @JuanSartoriUY, the Sunderland director who invited Farage, works for Tether. This Sunderland event happened before we knew that Tether's shareholder Christopher Harborne gave £5m to Farage.

France's domestic spy agency has terminated its contract with Palantir. The news couldn't come at a worse time for Palantir. France is the second country in as many weeks to cancel its work with the creepy surveillance company led by CEO Alex Karp. Several European nations are expected to follow France's footsteps in the coming weeks and also cancel all existing contracts with Palantir. yahoo.com/.../france-spy…...

This is a terrorist attack incited by the likes of Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson. "I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters" #Edinburgh #Leith

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered." The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole". Starmer has done nothing to rectify this situation. Please repost if you want the government to conduct a full scale inquiry into Russian interference in British politics over the last twenty years. Russia is waging a hybrid war against the UK and this government, like its Tory predecessors, is failing to protect us against the political half of that attack.

Your reminder that Andrew Tate and his brother are facing multiple charges of rape and sex trafficking. It’s like living in a fucking Brass Eye episode.

Farage is trying to block ‘Britcoin’ plans that could be costly for billionaire donor. Farage is Harborne's tool. Bought and paid for by an offshore billionaire. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Farage has a long history of murky finances and misusing public money for party political purposes ……a crowning irony is UKIP and his Brexit campaigning were financed through the misuse of of funds he received as an MEP

Murdochs cesspit the Times published a story Starmer had fallen out with Milliband and cancelled meetings with him, the story was repeated by hacks across the British media. The truth 1 meeting was rescheduled because Millibrands mother had died. Blatant isn't it.

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party. Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian. But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world. Cracking tale from @tomburgis theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Just one 👇 of the mountain of unanswered questions about Farage He might pop up in Makerfield for a photo opportunity but the £5m man isn’t willing to be accountable And you can bet your bottom dollar he won’t be seen posing with the Misogynistic Plumber on Friday
