I like engagement with major powers but travelling half way round the world to enable a few people who do not like China to visit seems a poor return

Reform: Only fools & Tories! #NeverVoteReform

Such a great unifier!

Surely Burnham can have more effect and legacy by staying in Manchester and showing how devolved leadership can work

Belgium's Prime Minister Bart de Wever: "If you back down now you're going to lose your dignity." UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer:

I'm pleased to welcome Andrew Rosindell to Reform. With any luck most people will have forgotten he was a Tory MP, because he didn't come into Parliament for nearly two years while he was being investigated for sexual assault and rape.

Few Americans are satisfied with the amount of evidence released in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with most saying they believe the government is intentionally holding back information. https://cnn.it/3LIjoSX

US reportedly considers granting asylum to Jewish people from UK

Called it. To reiterate: In May 2022, Rosindell was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse of position of trust, and misconduct in public office. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting this latest defection to Reform has been released to the press tonight, rather than fanfared via one of Farage's habitual press conferences. Did he not want to be standing next to Rosindell while journalist after journalist brought up rape and sexual assault allegations?

It will be next

Archaeologists: D.C. Capitol May Have Once Been Used For Legislating

When is a deal not a deal? When it is with the playground bully. Pick your own choice: Trump; Putin; Netanyahu.

The excellent @andrewrawnsley.bsky.social writes that ‘The danger for Reform is that it looks more and more like a refugee camp for discredited Conservatives than it does the insurgent force for change that it claims to be.’. Makes sense as a refugee from the Con Party is essentially Nigel Farage

Fascinating to watch ex-Tories criticize Tory Party failures as reason for leaving Tory Party and join a reforming Tory Party with their former colleagues. Both parties look damned by their members.

"Why would anyone hand the keys back to these people [the Conservative Party] to take the country forward and hope that they would fix it" says Robert Jenrick, who was a Conservative Party Shadow Minister until just a few hours ago, and has been plotting to take it over for years

"Reform and the Conservatives, the engineers of Brexit, and the champions of the scorched earth policy that saw the UK quit all areas of EU cooperation, voted against the Bill. We don’t hear from either Tories or Reform that Brexit costs every British citizen over £1,300 a year, every year." #Brexit

Chamberlain lives!

During a decade of Brexit debates, BBC Question Time invited 50 British MEPs from the EU Parliament onto its show. Every single one of them was pro-Brexit. 45 were UKIP, 3 were Tories, 2 were Reform. Farage alone appeared as an MEP 23 times! Not one pro-EU MEP was invited onto the show. Not one!

Just look at our power when we're united. God bless Canadians. "And at the heart of the problem is one brutal fact: the United States has lost 85% of its export market in a single year. This is the power of the Canadian boycott." " ... seven American whiskey distillers have declared bankruptcy"

Daniel Tommy Dubai Robinson & Nigel Dubai Farage are happy to court wealthy backers from the UAE while telling their supporters to hate Muslims at home. That contradiction tells you everything. This was never about values or culture. It was always about money power and who they think is useful.

Well this is wonderful!

A timely reminder: The terrifying rise of racism in modern Britain The defeat of fascism was our nation’s triumph, so what has caused such a drastic shift in the modern era? @leftwithnoparty.bsky.social @sussexbylines.co.uk

JFK must be turning in his gravve!

Stop asking what victims did or did not do A Harrods survivor’s challenge to us all: Start asking why the British establishment did nothing then and continues to do nothing @sussexbylines.co.uk

Horrific scenes from Sadiq Khan's Sharia law infested London 🎄

Horrifying treatment of activists by the UK. Starmer's Labour is clearly willing to let people die in prison if it pleases the Israeli & US governments. youtube.com/post/UgkxaBI...

Labour growth strategy falls foul of appeasement

Simple islamophobia. Racism in 10 Downing St

Tufton Street payee Coutinho - net zero is “incredibly damaging”. Says the Tory whose party trashed energy security. Labour plans net zero by 2050; she recycles the £350bn scare story. Tories want Britain hooked on dirty, overpriced energy, while pretending fixing the climate is the danger.

Ahahahahahahahaha The Tories down to 4th place!

Trying to overtake Tommee in hypocrisy.

We’re at a tipping point. As we go into 2026, a majority of 2016 voters still alive voted Remain.

This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs arthursnell.substack.com/p/americas-w...

A positive take on a dark day

Because they want it to become even more right-wing

Russia wants the EU to collapse because it’s a military rival. It needs a pretext for getting rid of the EU that isn’t territorial expansion, though. So it advances the idea that the EU isn’t democratic (as if Russia was). The richest man in the world falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

ICYMI: Our community of food banks provided 739,000 emergency food parcels last winter alone. That’s 40% more than 5 years ago.

How can it even be legal?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

100 million meals delivered in London under the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's universal free school meal scheme – an amazing achievement! No child can learn when they’re hungry, and the NEU is proud to stand alongside such a ground breaking campaign.
