Time I think to retweet this from @MichaelRosenYes

@Sephora Hi. I bought an e- voucher for my Granddaughte yesterday 6th November. It hasn't been received yet and on my account it still says that it has not been despatched. As it is an e- voucher I don't understand the delay.
For those asking… Tesla market cap has increased by $110 billion today since Trump’s re election this morning… which would mean that Elon Musk’s 13% stake is worth $14 billion more today than yesterday….
Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
Am reminded of this quote, knowing that so many Christians in the US voted for someone who encapsulates the absolute polar opposite of Christian values.
Only it isn’t a Circus… it’s a fragile World Politically and environmentally and the Clown is in… only he is not a Clown he is a dangerous anti-democratic, amoral demagogue quite apart from being a convicted felon. Humans need to be better.
Kemi Badenoch's cheerleading of Donald Trump at PMQs shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with our values
We should be standing up for human rights, the rule of law and international security - not rolling out the red carpet for Trump.
"If you needed another reason for the UK to join the EU, this: Brexit was always going to fail anyway, but Trump's win makes the UK even more stranded in an increasingly toxic place. For the UK, Ukraine, European security & decency in the world, we must rejoin." @EuropeanMovemen
A sexist, racist, climate change denying, anti-democratic, narcissistic, ultra-capitalist, liar is elected leader of world’s only superpower for a second time.
“When the US sneezes, the U.K. catches a cold.”
We are not immune to the virus of extremism. We can’t be complacent
America…it’s like watching the Fall of Rome. There is no other democracy, from Norway to New Zealand, which would elect as its leader a rapist, felon, liar, ignoramus, misogynist, vindictive bully and charlatan.
London mayor @SadiqKhan has issued a statement on the US election:
“I know that many Londoners will be anxious about the outcome of the US Presidential election. Many will be fearful about what it will mean for democracy and for women’s rights, or how the result impacts the situation in the Middle East or the fate of Ukraine. Others will be worried about the future of NATO or tackling the climate crisis.
"London is - and will always be - for everyone. We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.
"London is a place where we’re proud of our diversity, proud of the contribution of all our communities and proud of our spirit of unity. These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners."
"The lesson of today is that progress is not inevitable. But asserting our progressive values is more important than ever - re-committing to building a world where racism and hatred is rejected, the fundamental rights of women and girls are upheld, and where we continue to tackle the crisis of climate change head on."
@CharlesTannock Trump's victory underlines the folly of Starmer's #Brexit policy. We should be at the centre of the EU, reinforcing the NATO commitment & protecting the security of our continent, by ensuring Ukraine gets the support it needs.
Watching the USA election results makes me feel like I did after the Brexit referendum & when UK voted for Johnson. Sick. I just don’t understand humans. How so many can be idiots is 🤯
