Worried about rising bills and getting by? Keir Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag! | Aditya Chakrabortty (The Guardian)
|
|
The PM wants to talk about patriotism when the issue that is really affecting people is the cost of living. If he doesn't wise up, that dissonance will sink himThe ancient charge levelled against politicians is that they chase public opinion as tirelessly as terriers tailing a caravan. When voters shout, ministers jump to and blurt out a reply, no matter how bad. But there is one problem above any other that Britons say causes them personal distress. It is pushing many to desperate action. It's the same issue that may well seal the next election. It's no secret, but instead regularly flashes deepest red in polls. Yet it is neither discussed by our prime minister nor receives urgent ministerial attention. And no newspaper is bawling about it in 72-point type.Here is a case study in just how warped politics and the media are in 2025, and how MPs and journalists work against the interests of their voters and audiences. I refer to the cost of living.Aditya Chakrabortty is a Guardian columnist Continue read...

Another Week Of Madness: The Left′s Reaction To Kirk′s Assassination (ZeroHedge)

Another Week Of Madness: The Left's Reaction To Kirk's Assassination
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has revealed troubling truths about America's political divide.
On the right, Christians have responded with prayer, vigils, and church services. There was no rioting, no burning of private businesses or government buildings after Kirk's murder. This stands in sharp contrast to how Democrats respond to pivotal events (remember the nationwide BLM riots of 2020).
Tonight's vigil for Charlie Kirk in Huntington Beach, California.
The outpouring of people across the world gathering in faith and prayer to honor Charlie's life and legacy has been remarkable.
If you've held or attended a vigil, please reply with your photos or videos. pic.twitter.com/EUA3elOdhM

Meanwhile, on the left, Kirk's death was celebrated because assassination culture has been normalized by a party that smears opponents as "Nazis" and "Fascists," w...
