Youre damn right. A 'public backlash' is putting in mildly. If the House of Lords blocks/dilutes this bill then they will be inadvertently voting for their own destruction. A form of euthanasia..... www.theguardian.com/society/2026... #ironic #assisteddying #houseoflords #democracy

The President of the United States of America has just profoundly insulted staunch allies. Allies who supported the US Iraq operation. So this will work both ways. Putin happy. BBC News - Pentagon to offer 'more limited' support to US allies in defence strategy shift www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The mad corrupt xenophobe in charge of the USA has claimed mass immigration is massively contributing to sovereign debt. He does this without challenge. Bonkers stuff. Othering. Just a distraction from issues like inequality and of course the missing Epstein files. #Trump #epstein #inequality

'Consumer inflation data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this week showed housing inflation remained ‍strong.' So the (Trump) plan is to allow citizens to partially use pension monies as a down payment on a mortgage. How can this be described as sensible??! #Trump #401K #affordability

London’s homicide rate is lower than rates in New York, Berlin, Brussels, Milan, Toronto and Paris, five times lower than the rate in LA, and almost 12 times lower than the rate in Chicago. Last year, the capital recorded the fewest number of homicides of victims aged under 25 this century. #trump

The DfT have published a scorecard by council. Only a few have roads classified as red - not credible. The roads around Oxford/Bucks border are a disgrace. Somalia must have been used as a benchmark. Local road maintenance ratings 2025 to 2026 - GOV.UK share.google/zeHUsHyFMNel... #potholes #dft

The major eurpean US allies need to say to the USA people - very clearly - that if there were to be an annexation of Greenland then the USA would no longer be considered a friendly nation. Perhaps thats what the Trump/Putin axis want but the reality has to be confronted. #trump #Greenland #NATO

Whats the difference between Maduro and Putin? Answers on a postcard please... #trump

Fifa are not a fit and proper organisation. The world cup ticket pricing. The nonsense peace prize. The stitch up with the Saudis over awarding the world Cup and the world club Cup. Total disgrace. 'Alarm bells should be ringing' over England tickets - www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... #FIFA

The challenge for Trump in 2026 is likely to be where to find more weak opposition on which to unleash violence and military ordnance There can only be so many soft targets to help make him feel all-powerful. #trump

The House of Lords - our unelected body - is busy attempting to thwart the Assisted Dying Bill. Its not right: 'YouGov polling last month (May 25) found that three quarters of Britons believe assisted dying should be legal in the UK, while one in seven feel it should not.' #Assisteddying #democracy

Fifa are unfit for purpose. They are trump admin equivalent in the world of sport. In the same way trump is detached from the interests of the american electorate so fifa is with football fans. The whiff of corruption seems inescapable. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... #fifa #infantino #fifaworldcup

Trump's 'affordability hoax' may well be an costly mistake.... #barkingmad #affordability #trump

This is why the ultra wealthy sponsor right wing political parties, own media channels, finance 'right wing think tanks'. As a rule the political elite are beholden or intimidated or both). www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

Its not right. Its the will of the people. Its the will of the elected chamber. The house of lords is not functioning as it should. Plain wrong. #assisteddying BBC News - Peers trying to block assisted dying, claims MP behind bill www.bbc.com/news/article...

Farage: epic grifter

Yet another dismissive, party-political answer by the PM at PMQs. The disparity between the UK's wealthiest and poorest is growing every day, with millions struggling with cost of living. When will the PM accept that the problem in our country is inequality, not immigration?

We often seem to hit clubs at the inopportune moment #oxfordunited #SheffieldWednesday

The findings of the International Court of Justice are clear. Israel has no right to block aid to Gaza. Israel's allegations against UNRWA have not been substantiated. Israel must cease obstructing the UN and its agencies. Stop blocking aid.

Theres understandable concern and criticism regarding welfare reform moves but little engagement re the huge increase in the number claimants over recent years. Action is clearly required but those criticising the government never seem to offer an alternative practicable action. #welfarereform

So it's ok for Russia to invade and bomb the shit out of Ukraine inflicting terror on its population.... but if Kyiv has a pop back its playing with causing WW3....go figure. #Ukraine #Russia #worldwar

'Incitement' actually means encouraging someone to behave unlawfully. The use of this word to criticise G7 states condemnation of Israeli war against the Gazan civilian population is predictable but ridiculous. #gaza #israel #warcrimes

It irritates me that right wing nationalists and populists use and abuse patriotism to further their ends. I get the same feeling when Israelis reach for the anti-semite card upon hearing any political criticism. #Lineker #Israel #gaza

Of course it's a bloody dog whistle....Musk new it loudly 🦮🐕‍🦺🦮🦮🐩 #ukpolitics

So Trump says this week.... 'America can no longer subsidize Canada with the hundreds of billions of dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a state!' Hmmm. How does this 'subsidy' of billions suddenly vanish?!!! #trump #abracadabra

In 1890 the US introduced the (Republican) McKinley Tariff raising import duties to almost 50%. The result? Democrat landslide in 1890 Congressional elections. Herbert Hoover (Republican) & the Smoot/Hawley Tariff Act did the same in 1930 … result? FDR won landslide 1932. Roll on 2026 midterms…

It's like saying Joey Barton MAY be prone to anger management weakness... #oasis

I think Putin is missing a trick. Given the perverse logic of the Trump administration he should demand Alaska in return for giving up his main ambition re Ukraine. It is closer to Russia after all - he could rename it Alaskaski. Could also offer Trump the Chernobyl plant... #Trump #Ukraine
