Trump's apparent victory has 5 big implications for the UK: 🧵

1️⃣ It can happen here. He will back Farage, the Musk propaganda machine will crank up against Labour; the Tories will remould themselves into Trump-lite Islamophobes ...

The session was filled with presentations, questions and answers as well as a road mapping session reflecting on next steps. It was very interactive! Some key recommendations include further engagement with the courts, need for stable financing, and raising awareness of the pilot tribunals and their role.

@mha_ghana has done a wonderful job leading the work so far and needs continued support from other sectors, agencies, civil society and development partners.
