apology accepted
I owe you an apology.
I have been way too conservative in my election predictions.
Some fresh data came in yesterday and now it looks like we will see:
- Republicans win 55 seats in the Senate
- Republics keeping the House with a 10 seat majority.
- Winning nearly all governorships.
I was almost 100% accurate in 2024 but I wasn’t 100% because I was too conservative. That changes today.
Bookmark it.
We will see history being made on Tuesday. Republicans will vote in record numbers and we will destroy the democrats party once and for all.
Will you forgive me?

The only way to control migration is to #VoteLeave and create a fairer more humane points-based immigration system #InOrOut #TakeControl

This really isn’t complicated, folks. In Australia, the points-based immigration system RAISED immigration as they wanted to boost their small population in a huge country.
In Britain, we can use a points-based system to raise OR lower immigration, depending on what we want to do

Next on my @talkRADIO show @damiangreenmp & @DavidDavisMP on the Australian-style points based immigration system proposed by the Leave camp
Random things UK does well:
1. Electrical Plugs: The Type G plug is widely considered the safest, most stable, and best-engineered electrical socket design in the world
2. Nature Documentaries: Led by pioneering production and legendary figures like Sir David Attenborough,

7. Unarmed Policing: Mainland police officers do not routinely carry firearms, which fosters a policing-by-consent model and lower fatality rates.
8.Higher Education: Home to ancient institutions like Oxford and Cambridge, the UK consistently leads global academic ranking lists.

This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP.

Trump has done everything Putin has wanted him to do.
In Helsinki he stood with Putin and disclaimed U.S. intelligence. He lobbied to bring Russia back into the G-7.
He withheld military aid to Zelensky and pulled out of Syria to give Russia a freer hand.
He questioned NATO, lifted sanctions on Deripaska-linked companies, and walked away from the INF Nuclear Treaty.
He walked away from Open Skies, leaving European allies blind to what Russia was actually doing.
He slowed down Starlink for Ukraine and struck a diesel fuel deal with Russia even though he could’ve gotten a better deal with Canada.
How can you not see the link??
first time watching @piersmorgan uncensored on Youtube for the Truss bit.
Unwatchable with the constant adverts.

In this video montage, JD Vance says:
1. He “never liked” Trump.
2. Trump never “tells the truth”.
3. Trump is a “total fraud”.
4. Trump doesn’t “care about folks” .
5. He “can’t stomach” Trump.

There seems to be a direct correlation between how badly Trump is doing and how often he abuses a reporter (invariably a woman) for asking a perfectly legitimate question.
And it feels he’s losing his shit more and more often, which suggests things are getting worse and worse
🚨NEW: Donald Trump lashes out at NBC reporter:
Q: Do the sexual allegations mean nothing to you?
Trump: “QUIET! Isn’t she a fresh person? You’re a horrible little reporter.”
(The reporter who press Trump on the sexual allegations was @albamonica)

Striking how fast Reform went from free-press defenders to calling for the arrest of journalists who investigate it.
Its move to the populist-authoritarian model is unlikely to do much for its poll rating.
STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇

The stated position of the Trump administration is that the President of Russia is a humanitarian and that the President of Ukraine should be removed from office.
The American electorate have a chance to make their feelings about this known in less than two weeks.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as "a humanitarian" following the release of U.S. citizen Stephen Hubbard on Wednesday. During a meeting in St. Petersburg, Witkoff thanked Putin for freeing the American — whom the U.S. government had declared wrongfully detained — and lauded the Russian autocrat, who ordered the ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost five years ago.
Witkoff was in Russia as Trump administration and Russian officials were set to have talks focused on the Ukraine war.

In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal on America’s word.
This month, the president traded that word for a diesel deal with Putin.
Watch what he does for Putin. It shows what he wants to do with his power over you. 👇🏼

Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.
