UK, Irish, EU citizen. Campaign to rejoin the EU. Give no quarter to the Tory Party. Promote integrity in public life. Dispel the darkness with facts + reason.
@Nigel_Farage@BBCNewsnight They also invited you to an interview, but you declined. I wonder why? Could it be because you didn’t want to be quizzed on your £5million bung, or your allegations about Russia hacking your phone. A politician who avoids scrutiny is unfit for office.
@LeeAndersonMP_ Sorry, 30p Lee, but he’s right: that shameless grifter, who’s still in hiding from journalists wanting to ask him about his £5million bung and his Russia hacked phone, has form going back decades when it comes to sowing division and hatred.
@Nigel_Farage Why are you standing in a field? Is it because you’ve got less chance of being interviewed about your £5million bung from a crypto billionaire who doesn’t pay a penny into the UK tax system?
@reformparty_uk If wouldn’t have him in your house doing a bit plumbing, then, for sure, he shouldn’t be in Parliament.
Also, having heard him give a couple of interviews it’s pretty obvious that he’s quite an ignorant (as in uninformed) man.
@RobertJenrick@AndyBurnhamGM This by election shouldn’t be happening at all, but given that it is, it looks pretty clear that you’re going to lose - again. And that’s because Reform is a toxic brand, with no coherent policies, and led by a man with unanswered questions over his £5million bung.
Right. Hear up.
One, Burnham is absolutely NOT the answer.
Two, the majority of Labour Party members want to keep Keir Starmer.
Three, Starmer’s popularity and his acknowledged strength of purpose is growing in the country.
Are you listening @UKLabour, are you fucking listening?

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald.
A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead.
Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result.
US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone.
Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America.
The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill.
This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam.
Well done, Donald.

Reporter: "Zelenskyy is asking U.S. for more Patriot missiles?"
Hegseth: "Where we can help Ukraine, we have. We want Ukrainians to be able to defend, and we'll find way to do that."
No. The American people helped, but this has nothing to do with you. All your administration ever did was cut weapon supplies, and right before your theatrical negotiations, probably to signal to Russia whose side you are actually on. Then, for an entire year, you pressured us to surrender.
Russia is openly stating they will escalate attacks on civilians. We are asking to buy Patriot missiles, not to receive them as gifts. You have a real opportunity to save lives. Instead, you give evasive answers while our time runs out.
@RussianEmbassy Shut up, Kelin; no one is interested. Meanwhile,the cockroach in the Kremlin seems to be running out of ideas, as he smashes up Ukraine’s cultural heritage.

@darrengrimes I think you’d feel much more comfortable in Trump’s United States, don’t you? Perhaps we can start a crowdfunder to help you on your way.
Lost my absolute head this morning…
Was on with a Reform councillor who refused to condemn that sexist prick running for Reform in Makerfield
Don’t you bloody dare…
