It can’t be a bad Monday morning on the campaign trail when it starts with a pint of Guinness in the oldest Irish club in the UK! ☘️

Tell Trump No.

We saw him boast he didn't need Britain's help.

The madman's lost control of a war he couldn't justify and doesn't know how to end.

"Trump urges UK and other nations to send ships to help secure Strait of Hormuz after Iranian attacks."

A Spanish assembly member just stood up in the Madrid parliament and said what most world leaders won’t:

“Do you think the mothers of 160 dead girls would thank Trump for killing their children? You have become a bootlicker of Trump.”

The chamber erupted in support.

This is happening in Madrid.

In Washington, senators are competing to prove their loyalty to a foreign government.

In Texas, Ted Cruz told Christians he won’t stand with them if they won’t stand with Israel.

In South Carolina, Lindsey Graham is recruiting parents to send their children to the Middle East.

In Madrid, an elected official is saying the mothers of 160 dead girls out loud — in parliament — on the record.

Spine: 100%.

The moral clarity that is absent in Washington is showing up everywhere else.

The US says it will loosen sanctions on other countries buying Russian oil and petroleum loaded on vessels at sea, in a bid to curb price rises

Russia continues to pound Ukrainian cities with drones on a daily/nightly basis.

The cost of oil rose to more than $100 a barrel yesterday when three more cargo vessels were hit in the Gulf

Farage has been campaigning this week to bring back handgun ownership in UK, he has obviously forgotten the reason they were banned.

Exactly 30 years ago today these children went to school in Dunblane, Scotland and never went home again.

I am tired.

Tired of war.

Tired of anger.

Tired of death.

Tired of lives lost.

Tired of hope destroyed.

Tired of unnecessary grief.

Tired of the destruction of well-being.

Tired of forced migration.

Tired of tears.

Tired of children living in tents, denied the childhood they deserve.

I am tired of the political excuses offered for war.

I am tired of racial hatred.

I am tired of human lust for power wrapped up in theocracy.

I am tired of talk of defence that excuses aggression.

I am tired of biased reporting

I am tired of being told that people who have died on one side of a dispute are lives lost and that on the other, they are just killed.

I am tired of a failure to recognise that any life lost unnecessarily is just that: it is a life lost unnecessarily.

I am tired of the belief that war will ever solve anything.

I am tired of the assumption that after war everything will go back to normal.

I am tired of the cost of conflict always being borne by anyone but those who started it.

I am tired of those who think we don’t have a duty of care to everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever they believe, whatever their skin colour, whatever their gender, whatever their age.

I am tired of those who think that others don’t matter.

Most of all, I am tired of those who destroy hope,

I live in hope.

Hope of a better day.

Hope of a better life for everyone.

Hope that I might live to see that.

Hope that everyone might then share hope.

Is that too much to hope for?

I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

Anyone on benefits in this country. Pause for a second.

There is a reason those benefits exist. Because life broke somewhere. Illness. Disability. Caring. Redundancy. Wages that do not cover rent anymore. That is reality not failure.

Now listen to what Reform are actually saying. Not dog whistles. Not rumours. Out loud.

They want to charge you for things you do not currently pay for. They want austerity back. They want to tighten. Cut. Squeeze. Again. Even lower wages. Did you miss that bit?

Many people on benefits already use food banks. Many already sit in the dark watching the meter tick down. Many already skip meals. That is now. Before Reform touch anything.

So picture it. Same life. Same bills. Same stress. Then extra charges on top. Less support. More punishment dressed up as discipline.

How are you meant to survive that. Honestly.

This is not theoretical. They are not hiding it. They are proud of it.

Things are bad right now. Reform are openly promising to make them worse for you.

So the question is simple.

Are you okay with that.

Are you genuinely okay voting for people who are telling you they will take more from you when you already have nothing left.

I struggle to understand it. Then I stop pretending.

Because if you are choosing this anyway it means something else comes first. Anger. Blame. Racism. Someone to point at while your own plate gets emptier.

If that is the choice then own it. Say it. Do not pretend this is about helping ordinary people.

They are screaming what they want to do to you. Loud. Proud. No shame.

And still some of you cheer.

That is not being ignored.

That is choosing your own harm.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
