Color Scheme

June Slater: No big headline for this...

No big headline for this 👇 Labour fined £14,250. Reform fined £2,187. Guess which one the left-wing press shouted about? In 2023 Labour was fined £14,250 by the Electoral Commission for failing to declare donations properly. 20 separate breaches. Big money, real reporting failures. No big headlines on The London Economic. No pile-on. This week Reform was fined £1,750 for missing small print on three social media pages and an advert. Paid it a month late so it went to £2,187. That's it. Admin. But that one is everywhere. Screenshots, outrage, "Reform in trouble." Same regulator. Same type of mistake. One fine seven times bigger than the other. Only one gets turned into a scandal - and it's the one for Farage. Tell you everything you need to know about the left-wing press. 🤦

Carl Benjamin: The problem that the left...

The problem that the left has with the term "socialism" is the ineffablility of its definition. Socialism seems to ultimately mean a centralised, rationalised, and fundamentally unnatural order of society, and this is usually adopted by the left because their end goal demands it, but it could also be adopted by the right for other purposes. This is why fascism and nazism haunt the left-wing mind in a way that normal people just don't think about. They want all the groundwork done that could possibly enable fascism, just for their plan. It's completely believable that someone could hijack such a system for other ends.

Ben Habib: Domestic crime is an absence...

Domestic crime is an absence of national security as well, in one sense. When we are letting, in all these undocumented people from France, young men, fighting-age men coming to the United Kingdom, committing crimes against the people of the United Kingdom, that's a national security issue. We see it through a criminal justice prism, but actually that's a national security issue. And we are setting aside the security of this country, both in terms of our international engagement as well as the way we governed ourselves domestically. Our criminal justice system is not fit for purpose. It's fallen apart. I think part of the reason is that we've had 30 years effectively of left-wing government. Yes, the Tories were in office for 14 years, but they behaved like a left-wing government. And a left-wing government is long on welfare, long on handing out freebies to everyone, long on spending on the NHS, but they never talk up the need for criminal justice, for bearing down on crime, for national security, for funding the armed forces. That is the preserve of the right wing. And even though the Tories were in office for 14 years, they were not behaving like a right wing party. We desperately need to reacquaint ourselves with that form of political philosophy if this country is to stand a chance.

Pouria Zeraati: Iraqi sources...

Important/ Iraqi sources: Ali Al-Zaydi, the Prime Minister of Iraq, has been informed that the United States may attack the Islamic Republic "in the coming days." Both the United States and the Iraqi government have warned the regime's lackeys in Iraq not to get involved in the conflict. The Baghdad government has warned that if they get involved in the conflict, they will be dealt with "according to the law."
