A huge thanks to the people of the Makerfield constituency for your patience and good humour over the last five weeks. My thanks too to the many volunteers who came up to support my campaign. We ran a very positive one and can be proud of it! 🙏🏻

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.

I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.

I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.

I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.

#Ryanair Thinking of travelling with this airline? WARNING: if you need customer support you will be seriously disappointed. The ‘customer service’ is abysmal. Dual nationality: can cause check-in issues. Will Ryanair help: NO. Does their own app say they will: YES. They won’t!!

BREAKING: YES! Pope Leo XIV claps back after Trump accused him of "endangering a lot of Catholics" with a brilliant response that has MAGA world screeching.

This pope always knows exactly what to say...

“Well, the pope would rather talk about the fact that it’s okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and I don’t think that’s very good,” Trump told right-wing commentator Hugh Hewitt. “I think he’s endangering a lot of Catholics, and a lot of people, but I guess if it’s up to the pope, he thinks it’s just fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon."

As has been explained and repeated in countless publications at this point, Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. Our own intelligence agencies concluded as much and Ayatollah Khamenei — who Trump assassinated — maintained a religious ban against such armaments. Ironically, now that the United States has attacked, Iran has a greater incentive than ever to pursue nukes.

What's more, Trump is the one who endangered Catholics, and indeed everyone on this planet, by starting an illegal war on behalf of Israel that could easily escalate into a new world war.

While Pope Leo didn't mention Trump by name, a tactic often used by former President Barack Obama, it was clear who he was responding to.

“I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully," Leo told reporters in Italian. “The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that."

Of course Pope Leo doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons because the Catholic Church doesn't want anyone to have them. At the same time, he won't support a bloody, genocidal war of aggression being waged against innocent women and children to prevent weapons that were never being built in the first place.

Trump's fixation on Leo stems from a frustration with his own powerlessness to stop the Vatican from criticizing this war. He's used to Evangelical Republicans who claim to believe in Jesus but in practice believe in nothing beyond raw power. Now that he's going up against a real Christian, he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!

[Tim Walker @ThatTimWalker]

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure.

This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior.

When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

⚡️Péter Magyar fills the streets of Győr on April 9, debunking government claims of a "low turnout."
Addressing the sea of supporters, Magyar cited latest Median polls showing a possible supermajority but urged voters not to get complacent. "We need you at the ballot box!"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

[Elisa Mosini 🇪🇺🇮🇹 @MosiniElisa]

Wonderful.

Medián projects Magyar’s Tisza Party to win a two-thirds supermajority.

Nothing is certain until the votes are counted, but Magyar is pulling off something fantastic, fighting against a powerful propaganda machine.

May Hungary be freer, together with Europe.

Wizjonerski pomysł Emmanuela Macrona: „W dzisiejszym świecie dostrzegam trzecią drogę. Drogę, która łączy Koreę, Europę, Kanadę, Japonię, Indie, Brazylię i Australię. To format dla państw, które nie chcą uzależniać się od Chin ani automatycznie stawać po stronie Stanów Zjednoczonych. Chodzi o suwerenność, a nie o podporządkowanie.”

Pedro Sánchez has taken a strong position in refusing the US demand to use Spanish bases to strike Iran. Europe should show solidarity with Spain in the face of Donald Trump’s threats. https://t.co/OKGeI9V2O2

"A state banquet for the King ? While Trump's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East ? Really ? We're dealing with a narcissist and a bully. I think it's a misuse of the King"

The King is supposed to go on a state visit to the US later this month

BREAKING 🇵🇱🇭🇺:

The office of Polish PM @donaldtusk just released a statement and video regarding Hungarian government informing Russian government abut every EU move.

“What we heard today is confirmation of a very disturbing dependence of Viktor Orbán's government on the Moscow authorities. The recordings revealed dependencies, but they also showed how the foreign minister of a member state reports to the Russian minister on the completion of a task and asks for patience. Nothing more repulsive could have been expected, and this is disqualifying.”

BREAKING : 🇪🇸 Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez trolls Trump amid ‘No Kings’ protests in the US

He posted a photo on Instagram wearing a cap with a quote “Make Science Great Again” 🤣

Bro is not even hesitating now 😭🔥

[Sean Klein @BXLSeanK]

Telling it like it really is. Merci Senator Malhuret.
So now it’s time for everyone else to get real: stop pandering to, fawning over and applauding (even out of misplaced politeness) the current incumbent of the White House who makes a mockery of the office.
Enough is enough.
