1/Nobody will miss Khomeini. But the strikes on Iran were illegal, opportunistic, immoral & in violation of every decent expectation of good conduct during negotiations. US is behaving as a rogue state, following Putin's copybook. (cont)

1/Just as Reform are pushing to have more children, they are dooming those children to a bleak future by threatening to abandon the climate net zero goals, designed to help reduce global warming. Just as Trump is doing in the States. (cont)

1/Reform showing it's rue colours but in populist language that diminishes the reality. As Trump did. Now talking about beefing up the birth rate. "The sexual revolution has gone too far." Given that they are White Nationalist patriarchal authoritarians , worrying theme to this talk. (cont)

1/ US trend in 2024 is building up in UK too. Large no's of voters disgruntled, not just with politicians (plenty to be disgruntled about there), but with the whole political structure. After 14 years of decay under Tories, they want instant magic solutions from Labour & are not getting it (cont)

1/Labour Market Statistics have been published & produced a lot of fuss on GB News. The unemployment rate is up to 5.2%. Report itself says these stats be treated with caution. We don't know how much is transitional. If true it is higher than past years, the figure for 2024 being 4.83%. (cont)

1/As I predicted, Reform will not only attempt to eliminate the Human Rights Act (which will affect all UK residents-citizens & immigrants alike) but Sulla Braverman has announced that they will abolish the Equality Act 2010. (cont)

1/The move by a number of GOP congress reps to put through a bill aimed at making ICE protests in Minnesota (& by extension) elsewhere) unlawful says everything. Democracy means nothing. The right to protest means nothing. the deaths of two citizen protesters mean nothing. (cont)

1/The UK High Court has ruled that Britain's ban on Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was unlawful. As I have been saying for some time, the ban was disproportionate & had an adverse affect on civil liberties & the right to free speech. (cont)

1/The role of Women in the Reform masterplan is clearly revealed by Matt Goodwin arguing that young girls "should be educated on biological reality." What he is selling is the White hard-right male view that women are only good as breeders & mothers & should stick to that role. (cont)

1/Reform is a mass of contradictions. Most of them don't like Trump. But they let Trump's mini-me lead them. Most want to get closer to Europe, Brexit having failed. But they let Farage squawk about re-enforcing Brexit. (cont)

1/Labour is showing distinctive authoritarian tendencies. The Palestinian Action legislation, Starmer's veto on Burnham standing in Manchester now these files created by senior labour officials on journalists undertaking proper journalistic investigations. (cont)

Starmer not a great leader. Labour & UK need a great leader, of judgement, poise & integrity. But we are not fighting for our very values as a people: for maybe hard, but fair treatment of immigrants; for our NHS; for our cultural diversity; for our political independence from US/Russia. (cont)

As an American, I echo the no. Do NOT regress by converting to the U.S. system. You will regret it as least as much as Brexit.

1/Reform plans to replace NHS with American style insurance. UK must oppose this with every breath in its body. Core of the American system & a failure as a means to provide high quality affordable national health. Benefits only the rich & is a grift to benefit wealthy insurance companies.(cont)

1/Reform has been trying to make Immigration a crisis. It isn't. It is an issue. We need better immigration policies & controls. But it isn't the glorified existential threat to our nation that Farage has gaslighted it to be for years. (cont)

1/I might add to my last post t Reform 'call to to punish Storyhouse for acknowledging that LGBTQ people actually exist. This is consistent with their call to banish gender variant diversity. (cont)

The current party lineup is like a seedy beauty contest: a potentially beautiful labour with bad skin; Tories wasted & shrivelled; Liberal Miss um Who? & Reform black-toothed & rotten to the core.

No that's how you want to spin it, in the weird filter of your imagination.

Braverman is another failed Tory right-wing politician & she will cause chaos within Reform. I can see a large ex-tory faction challenging Farage. The theatre will be entertaining. Their incompetence in Government will not be the least bit entertaining.

As vicious as she is, Kristi Noem is the least competent of Trump's cabinet. She has to go, but will only be replaced by one more brutal. Trump must be impeached & ultimately his entire cabal. This reign of terror, which Americans would have decried in any other Country must stop.

1/America is in a piteous state. It is a National emergency away from a Dictatorship. Citizens are being murdered in the streets, observing immigrants, men, women & small children being kidnapped, held in appalling conditions & hustled out of the country. (cont)

1/Trump is digging in a dictatorship. Hegseth is retraining the National Guard, ICE is executing people in the street, with intent to rile Minnesotans into violence, so trump can declare a National Emergency & suspend the Constitution, together with the Congressional elections (cont)

ICE has again kidnapped children, one as young as 5. Any parent will shudder at this. These children must be terrified, traumatised & very afraid. They will be surrounded by hostile bullies & murderers in a brutal prison , wondering what they did wrong. Designed to terrorise the parents. Utter evil.

Many Maga voters are suffering buyer's remorse. It's easy to be angry with them, but some have hit on a positive strategy. Even at some risk to themselves, they are forming support groups to help others to escape the ruthless MAGA mindshare. Our best strategy is, not judge , but to support this.

1/That native Americans are being snatched & detained by ICE, reveals trump's true mission. He wants to finish the genocide committed against the people of the land in the 17th c. This is not about immigrants, unless it is about the immigrants' war on the indigenous people of the US. (cont)

Face it. ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should. It is time to defund ICE! Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Whether UK's Farage was schoolyard racist & bully, championing Hitler isn't the question. Has he changed since then? His tolerance of Reform racism , aping of trump's policies (marching with trump busts?) intentions to create UK ICE Agency, tells us he is still informed by that Nazi teen.(cont)

UK's' Farage gaslighted everyone. Created false crisis out of immigration. An issue, not a crisis. Trying to create a false nationalism, a siren call to empire of his parents. UK cannot stand on it's own in the modern world. Small nation in a world of giants needs to own its diversity & its friends.

If trump controls Greenland, he is not just free to monitor the sea lanes around the North Pole, he is free to ignore Russian fleet movements around the western flank of Europe. If he really is Krasnov, this is part of Russia's wider strategic positioning.

If ICE can openly murder a protestor in Minneapolis & be protected by the President, what is to stop an ICE agent from marching up to Tim waltz & shooting him in the head? Most of the political violence is Trump's.

The murder of a woman at an ICE protest in Minneapolis in her car, was deliberate & calculated evil., intended to induce fear. Shooter irritated that, when approached, she drove off. Frustrated in his attempt to intimidate her, shot her in fit of pique. Ice beyond evil. Must Go!

If anyone is in any doubt, Trump's talk of cancelling elections is the act of a dictator. At that point, if he succeeded, democracy would end. Congress cannot allow that!

President Krasnov, consciously or unconsciously aiding Russia, will destroy NATO & the West. When is Congress going to get off their arses & stop it?

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress. Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela. The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it. Repost!

1/Happy new year to everyone. I think the message we need to take from this year is , what does putting the hate on your neighbour bring? You don't have to wait for God to judge you. Hate sown, comes back on you a thousand times. (cont)

1/Message from World leaders on Christmas day has been universally about compassion. It is Christ's message writ large for the 21st C. For those of you who are being drawn into Trump's cruelty or Farage's migrant racism or Xi & Putin warmongering, one state evil, you really have to choose. (cont)

1/Zack Polanski's call to treat migrants with kindness, compassion & humanity is the spirit of Christmas. Christ's message was about compassion & humanity: his parable of the Good Samaritan was right on point. You must love your neighbour as yourself. (cont)

1/There is much to dislike about UK's. Labour. Their race to the bottom with Reform of Immigration. Their economic handling, which is not quite austerity & not quite growth enabling & all to similar to Tory management. Their authoritarian handling of the Palestine Action issue. (cont)

1/Character is important. the saga of Donald trump is teaching us that. You might think all the candidates are morally blemished, but this is not a race to the bottom. You don't just go automatically for the one with no moral compass & no boundaries b/c you want change. (cont)

1/Reform has dangerous proposal to dispose of a very significant number of civil service jobs in imitation of Trump's DOGE. The massive cuts proposed will harm the Civil services capacity to effectively provide services. (cont)

1/Normally, we should not hold wild, rebellious behaviour of a 14 yr old boy against him. Often mature into responsible adults. But real criticism of Farage -he has not. Still racially profiling & attacking people of colour , without rational , positive proposals to resolve real issues. (cont)

1/Relationship between US & UK is becoming increasingly strained. That is b/c, however clever the diplomatic dance, the divine Dance panel will call you out. Trump is very hard t to pacify & altogether too unpredictable. Starmer secured relatively low tariffs but that is now all in jeopardy. (cont)

Some Christians know the love of neighbours & doing unto others....We should not celebrate or excuse this Nations genocidal past.

1/Right now electorate is signalling to Labour-we are unhappy: get your act together. Most effective way to force a change in Gov., policy. Most have no sympathy for Reform's racist ideology, its suspected Russian connection, destructive hostility towards Europe & human rights. (cont)

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

1/Mark bray is the most potent rebuttal of Trumps accusations of left-wing violence. A cade ago he wrote a book on anti-fascism. Now trump publishes an EO declaring Antifa to be terrorists, when it is not a single organisation but a worldwide school of anti fascist thought. (cont)

1/Take any village in England. There's a park with children in it. All ages, all colours: schoolgirls sitting in a ring in the grass talking. Young kids playing on swings or gym equipment. Boys & girls playing soccer. Others riding bikes: older kids making out behind the clubrooms (cont).

Abolish ICE. Pass it on.
