I'm only half-joking when I say that maybe this is the way to tackle older Faragist men: Get a smart attractive younger woman to listen to them and then charmingly point out why they're wrong.

The UK must stand up for human rights and reject calls to leave the ECHR - Sign the open letter www.europeanmovement.co.uk/keep_uk_in_e...

It would be a thousand times better for Labour and for Britain if the national debate were about whether to rejoin the EU or not, rather than how hard to punch down at immigrants. Instead, Labour chose to propagate Farage's argument for him by accepting it had SOME validity and trying to nuance it.

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Sir Anthony Seldon, "It is extraordinarily raw and frightening for a country that has championed respect for human rights, to be even contemplating this" "It is a failure of government and Prime Minister Keir Starmer not to get ahead, none of this couldn't have been foreseen"

Farage’s “probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.” And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out. What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Failure of Remain – are there lessons for the pro-European activists of today? westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/... Good article: "the Rejoin Campaign and Rejoin Party do address the world as it is today, perhaps the very word ‘rejoin’ is too backward-looking." @ernestosubsumo.bsky.social

Like @zoegrunewald.bsky.social‬, @europeanmovement.co.uk says 'let's counter Farage's divisive arguments and show a wave of support for the ECHR - for human rights, and protecting citizens from unchecked government power. ..Reform UK does not speak for us, and the true values of this country.'

Nigel Farage is voters' last choice to be Prime Minister - as he's branded 'political fraud' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Left: The start of Wes Streeting's long speech to junior doctors asking them not to strike Right: Your reminder of how much more doctors, nurses and teachers would earn since 2010 if they had the same pay rise as MPs have had

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Starmer seems to be more concerned with attracting the political right than solving the issues we have and showing the people that Labour are focused on making their lives better.

Starmer sounding like a prototype Farage. He continues to pander to the fringe voter who follows Farage, instead of creating change using core Labour principles. He’s lost my vote, and seems to be intent on pushing his core support away.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Our political leaders must connect with the suffering of others if we are ever to change the path we are currently on www.bigissue.com/opinion/labo...

The Labour Party seems to be suffering from cognitive dissonance - supposedly being for those who need support, whilst whipping that carpet of support from under their feet!

Keir Starmer, "My priority — my only priority — is the people of Britain, and what makes them better off" So why is Labour keeping the UK outside of EU Single Market?

It seems the government isn't listening - even if we couldn't join the EU soon, it should be part of the longer strategy to build greater ties swiftly. @herefordshire4eu.bsky.social

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.
