Oldie whose heart was broken by Brexit. Labour at heart a republican who wants PR. I vote strategically to keep Tory's out. Loves food and wine of every shade.

No, you can’t just deport people without legal due process.

No, you can’t just fire federal employees without legal due process.

No, you can’t just impose across the board tariffs without Congress.

If Trump tries, he’ll get SUED — slowing or stopping him entirely.

🇺🇲 America did the unthinkable!

They elected a RAPIST!

Our prosecutors completely failed us.

They had 4 years to enforce the laws against Trump, and they delayed, and they hesitated, and they were too cautious, and they finally went after him -- but it was too little, too late.

History will judge them, if there is any history left.

It would be the height of irresponsibility for Starmer/Labour not to wake up ⏰️ to the reality that we need closer ties with the EU on:
security
trade
academic cooperation
youth mobilit
AI
the environment

The COP29 climate summit begins in Baku, Azerbaijan. A two week jamboree of various private jet flying VIPs indulging in virtue hypocrisy.

Gary Lineker “some elements of the press were “weirdly, oddly obsessed with trying to do me”. “Trying to like, put me away. They take everything out of context. Deliberately. It’s almost like a game for them to try to destroy me in some way” ⁦| Guardian https://t.co/J592ozz5cD

[SODEM : "Cap ALL Political Party Spending." @snb19692]

My day in court! I was supposed to receive the evidence against me by September 2nd so defence could be prepared! I received it 9th November… 2 days ago! No way enough time to prepare anything. Is it deliberate??? Ref Amps at Parliament on March 27th 2024

@implausibleblog Did @TrevorPTweets picked her up on that?

If this was about a former Labour not Tory politician it would be all over the news by now. The double standards are sometimes mindblowing

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Kim Darroch, "I think Trump will introduce tariffs"

Faisal Islam, "What is the UK's strategy?"

Kim Darroch, "The US might offer a free trade deal.. It will be like the 2017 deal.. It will destroy British agriculture.. The only place to go is to line up with the European Union"

Faisal Islam, "Trump's got a thing about the EU"

Kim Darroch, "He says the EU is worse than China"

Faisal Islam, "This opens up Brexit which the Labour party have parked and try to forget about"

John Ryley, "Labour are going to find it difficult"

Iraq is legalizing child marriage and lowering the age of consent to just 9.

Iraqi women’s rights activist risks her life and confronts an iman who sponsored the bill.

“You’re following Muhamad who married 9-year-old Aisha 1400 years ago. That is not normal in today’s world!”

Supermarkets claim increased employer NI contributions will cost jobs. But not half as many as self-service checkouts did.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Ed Davey is spot on here.

Now, more than ever, we need to break ties with America and focus on rebuilding our relationship with Europe.

You can’t have a “special relationship” with a treacherous fascist.

Brexit is slowly burning us down.
