He's sleeping on camera, again.

I wrote a Substack on it too. “Heart of Europe” means something to pro-Europeans, because it’s *our* phrase. Starmer had better not be nicking our rejoin line in order to keep us outside the EU… …in doing so he’d be aggravating the very base he’s trying to appeal to in order to save himself.

Starmer saying “Back at the heart of Europe” can only mean rejoining the EU.

London to needs to secede from racist England, put landmines round the M25 and have it's own fully funded NHS. Other cities where people are educated, believe in science and don't have webbed feet should follow suit. I see no need to ever leave London again unless I'm going abroad 😀 Sarcasm(ish)

Welsh English nationalists....make it make sense 😀 are these the same thick cunts from Port Talbot who voted Brexit 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Yes America we are laughing at you you dumb cunts.

ReformUK are watching very closely how trump gets rid of America having anymore free elections. If they get in here and it'll be white men only allowed to vote before you know it, in heavily gerrymandered seats. For the umpteenth time billionaires and fascists don't give up power at the ballot box.

We cannot scream this loudly enough. It is devastating that people in the UK have voted for Reform after seeing the evidence of their mismanagement in KCC & the harm of far right policies in the US to people & democracy. We need to redouble our efforts to fight their lies, now more than ever.

Reform UK Councillors Gone: Updated Jay Cooper has been sacked following his election for holocaust denial.

I’m so proud to be one of 19 @brumgreens.bsky.social councillors on Birmingham City Council! In Billesley, hope triumphed convincingly over hate. We got 45% of the vote and 1,200 votes more than our closest Reform candidate!

It's not even for THE top issue. The poll asks for top 3 issues.

1 in 4 among this nonrepresentative sample group of Muslims (in selected areas of high concentration) made Gaza one among their three choices, while half chose cost of living. The headline appears designed to mislead.

Finding: '1 in 4 Muslims in some areas may vote on Gaza - though cost of living is top concern' 'Across all voters cost of living remains dominant' is in the 14th paragraph "The survey is not nationally representative + focuses on areas with relatively high Muslim populations" is final sentence.

Times headline "Muslim voters rank Gaza over the economy in local election poll" is reporting a poll where the top issue for [some] Muslim voters was the cost of living (50%) ahead of Gaza on 25% and economy on 21% Anti-Muslim hostility on 22% Times headline gives an entirely misleading impression

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

Sun + Mail criticised for these, as well as the Telegraph, Times examples.

We call on publications to show the utmost vigilance and stringency on these issues. 2/2

Caricaturists and their editors must take care that their depictions of Jews in public life do not wade into centuries old anti-Jewish tropes. We have seen a number of examples of political cartoons published depicting Zack Polanski that are a cause for concern. 1/2

The Board of Deputies has made a statement about a number of recent examples, without specifying the outlets or examples. (The Times, Telegraph and The Sun have published cartoons of this kind) bsky.app/profile/boar...

Recent Telegraph and Times cartoons of Green Party leader Zack Polanski, challenged for deploying antisemitic tropes + caricatures of a Jewish politician, by the Green party and by others.

The tremors from Thursday's elections could shift the tectonic plates of British politics. My preview in my Eastern Eye column this week of the electoral battlegrounds across Wales, Scotland and England www.easterneye.biz/uk-elections...

Immigration is falling sharply, so why haven't politicians noticed? Me in The New World thenewworld.substack.com/p/immigratio...

Cue Quitters crying out that this outrage is Brexit In Name Only (BRINO) and demanding the full implementation of the turnip rations and starvation they voted for. ...any moment now... #BrexitHasFailed #NationalFailure #GlobalJoke #AdequateFood www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/post-br...

EU / UK SPS agreement coming in June 2027 which puts the UK back into the Single market for imports and exports of seeds, plants and food! www.instagram.com/reels/DXtmlk... Not meds, not car parts, but it is a first step and very important, freedom of movement for these 3 goods in a single market.

I agree! Every AMERICAN needs to register to vote to rid America of Trump and his so called administration where one is less qualified than the next. He's a POS con man and no American should want him to hold office especially the White House.

We got to make sure we get everyone to the polls. We can’t have it like the last election where ppl thought one person had it In The bag so they didn’t show up. Every dem needs to get out!!

Agree

Don’t forget… Release the unredacted #epsteinfiles

So are we!!! We are sick of this sh!t! youtu.be/Marw_4XhaBY?...

Horrifying that parents brought their kids in close contact with a war criminal and a r@pist of women and children for their own narcissistic agenda! Child protective services should be investigating each and every one of them for propping their kids up in front of a pedophile!

Not only is Trump’s ballroom a scam, it’s poisoning the ground in DC!

Trump & republicans found $200B for war in Iran while H.R.1 slashed Medicaid & SNAP for millions of Americans. If they have money for ICE & endless war, WE should have money for food & healthcare. Our priorities aren’t broken — theirs are. #HealthcareNotWarfare #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

America has been poisoned frm the beginning. Movie-makers celebrate settlers riding into a “new” frontier as if they were wonderful ppl. But they don’t show the countless murders of Natives committed by settlers, so they could steal and occupy their land. They justified it with Christianity.

Europe is distancing itself from the US. 10 European countries - the UK, the Netherlands, 5 Nordic and 3 Baltic states - create a unified naval force to deter future Russian threats from the “open sea border” to the north. This navy is a complement to NATO and will not include the unreliable US.

Honestly, why would King Charles visit this shithole? He should cancel his scheduled date to visit the pedophile.

Justice for Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others! We demand accountability and an end to state terror. Let's push for real change toward a just future where all feel safe. Let their memory fuel our fight!
