    See the Daily Mail is dusting off the old ‘opposition leader is a threat to National Security’ for the General Election year.

    For context it’s Boris Johnson calling Kier Starmer a threat to national security and it’s on their front page.

    The desperation is palpable, how utterly pathetic.

    The awful Braverman contacts with Mossad for which she was sacked glossed over.

    Jihad flag flown yesterday in London and a speech from activist El Kurd (who has mocked a 9 year old hostage and called for violence on US campuses) calling for normalisation of massacres. His response when called out? “Idgaf” and later, “suck my dick.”

    I’ve no doubt most are marching for peace (although chants for ceasefire and intifada are contradictory) but there can be zero doubt that organisers and a minority islamists are taking the opportunity to attempt to normalise hate, too.

    Equally outrageous was called for solidarity with Yemen for their actions on the seas. The Houthis are actually in a war with Yemen and have killed 400,000 and re-implemented slavery. Just unbelievable.

    Q. If £680 billion is the question, what is the answer?***
    A. What is the combined wealth of 5 richest people.
    Q. What percentage of the global population has grown poorer over the last 3 years?
    A. 60% = to 5 billion people.

    *** The wealth of these 5 has more than doubled in the last 3 years and Oxfam estimates that the more than 2500 billionaires have increased their combined wealth by £2.6 trillion since 2020.
    And still governments want to pass laws that that help to further enrich the richest whilst passing laws to further impoverish the poor.

    What a sick society we live in.

    "Have I Got News For You
    After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS"

    Just been listening to a chat about PMQ and they mentioned that Sunak said nothing about inflation going down.
    Why?
    Because it appears that inflation has gone up slightly and the cause is being blamed on the raising of taxes on tobacco at the last budget. Shot themselves in the foot.

    I don’t think quoting Claire Daly is a good look.

    Claire Daly on Ukraine:

    https://www.irishtimes.com/politics...a-propagandists-by-ukraines-security-service/

    Claire Daly on Assad:

    MEPs ‘shame Ireland’ with denials of Bashar al-Assad gas attack

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...c?shareToken=f9470d9de399dd03db565eabb5fa028a

    If she’s rooting you, there’s a very good chance you’re on the wrong side of history.

    Worth researching people’s convictions and beliefs before parroting them.

    Pathetic rather than painful, these tory witches belong around a cauldron.

    It's not that she didn't know the capital of Rwanda, it's that she didn't know she didn't know...

    That was just dire.
    Although was there not a labour MP yesterday who didn’t understand that NATO wasn’t a court of law?

    There’s painful idiocy everywhere on our political spectrum but Coffey has probably won that particular race.

    Better to be quiet and be thought stupid rather than speak and confirm it.
