@vivamjm.bsky.social @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social I always knew that brexit would make the UK vulnerable but I never thought it would be so quick and from the USA. SO Russia China & USA are threats. The sooner we get back in the EU the better. We are looking so screwed

A friend emigrated to the Far East.Left behind several failed business's owing several £1000s. Posts on Face book about how violent London is a place he hasnt seen in 20 years. Then moans about immigrants coming to the UK taking our benefits. The Irony is breathtaking. Hes not welcome here anymore

398 mass shootings in the USA this year. the last annual CDC figure on gun related deaths was 46000 people 2024 Austraila 1 mass shooting in 30 years. Trump slags off Somalia. Somali had a total of 7200 murders and 408 gun related deaths in 1 year My sympathies go out all those murdered yesterday

I really don’t understand the honours system. Roger Daltry getting a knighthood. I know he’s done work for Childhood Cancer Trust. But there a many who are not famous who do more & aren’t famous! This man voted to take FOM away from me and the youth because when you’re rich you always have FOM

Don’t buy anything these cowards wear or use. Starting with Ford Motors. These cowards will face justice.

Robert has been on the money for years.An excellent post

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

in a few days I'll be 65. I hear that as you older you get more right wing. I am moving more to the left or the Overton Window just moved on. I am appalled by so many people who think there are simple answers to complex issues. Politicians who blame others for their twisted promises sicken me 1/2

I ve been following Mark Carneys handling of Trump. This man is turning Trumps bullying tactics to Canada’s advantage. Deals with the EU & others & broadening their client base for lumber by triggering Maple leaf project is awesome. The man is brilliant & Correct about Brexit too More Carneys please

It really is quite simple & shameful the UK establishment has never explained it to UK public. Unless UK agrees a customs union inside a single market of regulations with another country, with a wealthy consumer base of 500m, 20 miles off shore, it'll NEVER compensate what it has lost in easy trade

I remember in the 80s how bat shit crazy the media were about Randy Andy and Fergie. I was nauseous about it then as they represented to me at least the very excesses of wealth an privileged that Thatcher promoted and Royal sycophants lapped it up wrapped in their Union flag 1

How is peace ever going to be achieved in the Middle East. not even 24 hours in, and the IDF shot dead 6 unarmed Palestinians. I honestly think most Army's in the world would have exercised more restraint. I am not on anyone's side but men with guns and mixed with religion doesn't work

Everyone should listen to Michael. He has been proven right consistently. The fact immigration has hit a million as a direct result of Brexit the Gammons are reddening by the minute strangled by their own hubris

If Trump ever got the Noble Peace Prize its value would be so diminished that it could never be resurrected. Imagine if Hitler was given a prize for peace whilst incarcerating Jews pre WWII. Which is happening now to the new Jews.Immigrants. How many more world leaders are going to lick his arse?

Honestly would you trust flying to America right now? 60 hours a week ! Knackered air traffic controllers with little or no pay worried-sick. No thanks I’m just glad we live in Europe

The amount of top military that Hegseth has either fired or let go is enormous! The loss of this amount experience must be a concern and one wonders are the political leaders in the USA competent or are they influenced by other things or people. China & Russia are rubbing their hands at this.

In London, hate will never win.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Looks like the knowledge ain’t what it used to be…

Nick Ferrari. Who told you Sharia Law in London is being planned Farage. A Taxi Driver. Well that’s a private education for yah

I watched Jimmy Kimmel for the first time tonight. Awesome! I also heard Trump use the word Braggadocios at the UN yesterday. The comedy in America is priceless

Nigel Farage is blaming the failures of post-Brexit immigration policy on a "Boris Wave"... REFORM UK ARE LYING TO YOU!

I recently visited Clacton, and it's a desperate place. There are lots of flags and no hope. Always voted for a right-wing politician. 2010 onwards, Tory UKIP Reform.14 years of what they wanted. At what point will they join the dots. Immigration didn't do for Clacton far right politics did. So sad

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening today about the way the administration in the USA are going after any of their critics, on LBC today I have concluded that unwittingly they have fired the starting gun on the demise of Social Media platforms like X. Its the dog biting its tail. 1+

Just listening to LBC and @alimiraj.bsky.social and some clown was banging on about bonds and how we should have an election. 1 year in and same old lazy journalism. National Debt Gdp for Japan 250% USA 112% France 116% Italy 135%. UK 96%. But apparently labour is mis managing the economy.

A brilliant piece lost in these troubled times and seen and heard by those who care and are free to think and now shackled by Social Media Algorithms that have done so much harm. Wake up the world wake up America. You have the power to change the world to a kinder place. You’re better than this

Having engaged with an academic about the new Your Party I checked out Zarah Sultanas working class credentials against Angela Rayners. She ain’t working class. Privileged education & I can find evidence of work other than politics. Angela Rayner, is a working class hero. And Sultana hates it

This is a very good article and I only wish those who want a Reform government like Hungry could face an exodus of young talent and end up needing more immigrants Excellent read

I think ICE need to remember what goes around comes around. At some point they will be pursued. As George Harrison wrote “ Everything must pass”

@nixonsimon.bsky.social Just read a fascinating article by Simon in the Byline Times in which he concluded that Rachel Reeves misfortune is to be the teller of hard truths in a country only interested in easy answers. V True Brexit has left her needing snookers @lizwebster.bsky.social 2)

@nick1webb.bsky.social @vivamjm.bsky.social I just saw a TV report about the explosion of illegal cigarettes sold on the high street. Not one mention that Brexit,as Michael has long said, amounted to a smugglers charter. Weren’t we supposed to be protecting our own borders.

Just met 2 older folk from Dallas today in Paris. They were truly appalled by Trump and apologised. They rightly said he is a danger to the world and that they apologised for his behaviour. They really believe he is a dictator and can't understand why Americans are tolerating him.

Does anyone remember the good old days when if you were kind and caring, you weren't called Woke as an insult? I don't understand all the hate and anger in this country, but there's been one man at its elbow for 10 years now. When is this country going to get bored with him?

Something to think about

Just to put in perspective Reform hold 0.04% of all council seats in the UK. The Reform wave is not what the BBC or GB news would have you believe They basically have the same as the green party

Thank goodness. My advice do exactly the opposite of what Trump wants. His spine is made of rubber.

Does anyone know how you get a Guinness World Record approved. I've emailed them and didn't get a reply It's for Charity

The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

Sometimes you just need to breathe the air

Every country in the world should remember The USA has crashed the world economy twice in 17 years. Why should we trust them. We should form new alliance's that serves us well. Trump has ruined 4 years of economic prudence in 7 days. Almost biblical

I saw a commentator suggest that some Trump insiders have been doing insider trading over the irratic tariffs. @mrjamesob.bsky.social Your thoughts please

Private equity firms have reportedly flooded the airplane maintenance industry over the last five years. These are the same shady investors who have fueled the housing crisis and strip-mined our healthcare system.  What could go possibly go wrong?

Mr Trump. China Population 1.5 Billion EU 450m USA 350m Pick your fight. These are taxes on your own people All of these groups will find other markets and your people will pay a higher price at the checkout the Rest of the world won’t buy your inflated inferior rubbish. You’re not match fit

Forgetting ideology of Brexit surely it's better to rejoin the EU as business has shrunk by 4% whilst USA tariffs will only shrink it by 0.4%. Why chase a trade deal with a country that doesn't honour agreements or respect the rule of law. The EU is a democracy you can rely on

We all have to say no to a trade deal with the USA as that's appeasement. Getting into bed with a leader who would weaken all our hard won freedoms just to enrich American Billionaires whilst we have a willing and able partner in the EU which we wrote the rules. Macron already wants us back

youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-... Never a fan but he wasn't an imbecile like Trump

I am so bored with so-called experts on tariffs. The EU will equalise the tariffs, but poor old UK will have to suck them up. Thanks, Brexitiers, especially the Trump suppository Farage who brought us here

@barackobama.bsky.social Mr Obama What has happened to your country. In the 9 years since you were president, the world has fallen into a state of despair. The last time I felt pride as a Brit was the 2012 Olympics. It felt like the world was together. Farage Brexit & Trump. What can be done
