America, as a liberal empire, is no more.
Welcome to a new era of US governance by oligarchy, where billionaire members of Mar-a-Lago decide US policy.
And guess what? Protecting the European Union or the living standards of Europeans is not on their priority list!
They don't care about post-1945 Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall, EU enlargement, our single currency. The expermiental steps we have made, away from our imperial past.
These are far away things that mean nothing to them.
Who will defend Europe? We are completely unprepared for this feral new world.
Remember the 🇪🇺 is an experiment & has no automatic right to exist. It needs to be nurtured. Pro-Europeans will have to stand up and fight for something more than the EU we have today.
A real Union, that protects, brings prosperity & stands up for its citizens in this new world.
Trump will bring big change, but such historic moments can be opportunities as well.
Choose activism over despair. Raise money for Ukraine, join a political party, stand for election. All of us individually as pro - europeans can make a small change to define our own future.
We’re living in increasingly uncertain times, and I know many Londoners are concerned by what’s taking place around the world.
My message to Londoners: this is your home, you are wanted here, and you help to make London what it is - the greatest city in the world.
Where was your rage when Tories spent £Bs on useless PPE, only for them to write it off? Where was your rage when Tories wasted £Bs on failed HS2? Where was rage when Tories gave Rwanda £700m upfront only to not get it back? Where was your rage when Tories wasted £Bs on failed barges whose contracts happened to be Tory peers? Where was your rage when Tories gave £Bs in contracts on asylum hotels, to again their peers? I could go on forever about Tories wasting fucking money but NO now you’re all angry. 14 fucking years and you harp on now… you are all YEARS too late. Our public services are decimated and now someone has to clean up. So please shut up with your faux care you absolute bastards.
Those of us who remain on this hellsite and do not share the owner's values are the #Xdissenters. We will keep pushing back against the liars, the racists, the misogynists, the fascists. Never let the far right push you out of any space. And wear the label with pride.
Around the world, politicians who admire Trump are fining, delegitimizing, and bankrupting independent media organizations into oblivion; these politicians are denying access, harassing, deporting, disappearing, and arresting independent journalists into unimportance. In the United States, some independent media executives and journalists are self-censuring criticism of Trump and overcriticizing Trump’s political opponents under the subjectivity of balance—of both sides—to escape a similar fate.
But there may be no escaping a similar fate if Trump wins and these media executives and journalists want to maintain some independence to report the truth. To Trump, media organizations and journalists are *always* “enemies of the people” if they do not *always* broadcast Trump’s lies to the people.

John Major on brexit:
"Brexit has been the most divisive thing that has happened in our party... it's made our country weaker, poorer... it was going to be milk & honey straight away & it wasn't... we now have sovereignty to be poorer & less influential..."
