- GOP candidate for Governor in Minnesota pulls out saying ICE are out of control & he can’t “look his daughter in the eye” whilst standing for a party supporting them #Minnesota #Minneapolis #ChrisMadel #ICE #r4today #skynews #UVIPolitics
- 1) The imminent end of the 2 party system’s been trailed for 40+ years 2) Farage’s big achievement since #GE2024 isn’t breaking the 2 party system but positioning ReformUK as 1 of those 2 big parties. Can Kemi get that spot back? #NigelFarage #KemiBadenoch #r4today #LVIPolitics

- Reposted by Ben FullerAfter executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
- Reposted by Ben FullerMy gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.
- With Suella Braverman’s defection, rewatch her greatest 📺with @krishgm.bsky.social 😫🤦♂️ She made her name here, as ERG whip AGAINST her own Tory govt during BrexitSo this new defection/ betrayal is no surprise #ReformUK #SuellaBraverman #NigelFarage #r4today #LVIPolitics x.com/brexit_sham/...

- Really? Once she made the political weather and Bobby J worked for her. Would she humiliate herself to now follow him? Regardless, Suella Braverman is a busted flush in #Tory circles so no threat to Kemi #SuellaBraverman #NigelFarage #ReformUK #r4today
- Crikey! They are remarkably thin skinned and stupid in Downing Street this weekend (especially if they think there’s any similarity between Starmer & Streeting and Badenoch v Jenrick!) Martyring Streeting would strengthen him (like last time🤦♂️) #KeirStarmer #r4today
