We need an emergency flu vaccine drive to protect the vulnerable and prevent a disaster in the NHS. That means jabs offered in pubs, churches and community spaces, and taking on the anti-vax lies promoted by Reform and other conspiracy theorists head on.

🇬🇧 🇺🇸 WATCH — @mrjamesob.bsky.social: “I’m going to say this slowly… The President of The United States of America has sided with Putin against the United Kingdom. He has put the whole of Europe in the crosshairs.”

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The Government’s failure to support our high streets is a stealth tax on small businesses. Pubs, hospitality venues & shops are being pushed to breaking point. We need to back our high streets with fair business rates and real support, not squeeze them further.

First it was stealth taxes on households, and now it’s a stealth tax on our high streets. The government is hammering businesses, we need an urgent VAT cut for hospitality services now.

⚠️ WOW. High streets are being hit with a business rates bombshell. The Chancellor has serious questions to answer: ❓How many businesses will pay rates for the first time? ❓How many will see bills go up? ❓Why isn’t she using the powers she gave herself to help high streets?

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

The Chancellor has spotted the problem but refused the obvious cure. The fastest way to turbocharge economic growth is to fix our relationship with the EU & plug the £90billion Brexit blackhole. Instead, all this Budget does is again fail to tackle the cost of living crisis & boost our economy.

It’s Budget Day — and the South West can’t be ignored. For Mid Dorset & North Poole I’m calling for: • Urgent GP funding in Wimborne • A 17-month 5% VAT cut for hospitality • Scrapping the Family Farm Tax Come on Chancellor — make our Christmas. 🎄 #Budget2025

It looks like fossil fuel shill Reeves is setting out a Budget that’s not so much an omnishambles as a multiple arson attack. Businesses left, right and centre will be destroyed - from hospitality to automation and many others besides. Truss mark 2.

📢 Today's Budget must be a turning point for Britain's economy. Families in South Cambridgeshire face soaring bills & small businesses are being squeezed. The Chancellor must cut VAT for hospitality, scrap the NI hike & make big banks pay their fair share. #Budget2025

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics: "Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?" Starmer: "Reform is riddled with pro-Putin propaganda"

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Brexit advocate Mervyn King thinks increasing savings will fix UK ills Blind to the disastrous effects of Brexit @trevorphillipsreal.bsky.social

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

The gun crowd has been saying for decades they need their guns to protect us from a tyrannical government. When tyranny showed up they joined the tyrants.

History repeats. That’s why in Europe we have the ECHR. 🇪🇺

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Agree 💯, with The Boss.......

@mrjamesob.bsky.social good morning James. Can you start badgering for the government to leave X as a platform? This company’s owner is actively calling for violence and Gvt change, yet it’s crawling with official accounts. Something has to change it would also be good to see them on blue sky.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Rather than sticking plasters. A reduced VAT rate for tourism and hospitality would help to revitalise our seaside and market towns high streets.

If you are fed up with the two old parties letting you down. If you are scared of the rise of racism and extremism. If you believe in decency, tolerance and the rule of law. Join us. Because we believe in the British people. We love our country. And together, we can change it for good.

Ed Davey - the only British politician who seems to be doing something

Our flag does not belong to one creed or to one race. It belongs to one people, the British people. We will not let our flag be used to intimidate.

Disney is no longer associated with magic and innocence in the minds of millions now. There are mistakes - and there is catastrophic cowardice that changes your brand identity. Boycott Disney.

You don't get coverage like this on Russian TV without Kremlin approval. The Kremlin knew Farage would be a useful tool, and such he has been and continues to be.

History repeats itself,

Sir Ed Davey has branded Elon Musk a criminal and called for him to be prosecuted for "allowing online harm to children" on his social media platform X news.sky.com/story/sir-ed...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

So, the Lib Dems have responded to the current times by saying they'd treat asylum seekers better. I don't mind that at all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Electricity prices should be set by the lowest priced source - wind & solar. Gas shouldn't be setting the price in Ireland either. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The president of the United States has done a deal with a convicted sex trafficker to cover up his abuse of young women. Just think about that for a moment. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Donald Trump is the most dangerous criminal in Washington D.C.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

You tell her Ed. 3 things Laura: 1. Can't talk about 2 big parties anymore. There are 4. 2. The EU have told us they want us back. Listen to the French President and the German Chancellor. 3. Polls show an overwhelming degree of support for rebuilding our relationship with Europe.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social pathetic interview again, stop trying to frame every question around your bias

The costs of Brexit continue to mount up, making us all poorer than we would otherwise have been.

Cages This is awful www.instagram.com/reel/DLkWpX_...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Sad to hear of George Wendt’s passing. Cooked for him over 35 years ago RIP
