You know what I haven’t seen mentioned for several months? Small boats crossings. Weird that. I assume they are still going on but people who made them *their whole thing* have just stopped talking about them.

@cleancitiescampaign.org is calling for urgent action to tackle #carspreading including fairer parking charges and applying car-equivalent pedestrian safety standards to pick-up trucks - the UK should work with EU partners to Adopt a Child Visibility Test to reduce vehicle blindspots 🙏 7/7

“I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Meanwhile... as the Tories and Reform tell voters that investment in renewables is a waste of money, and that we need more climate destroying oil and gas, Australia has so much cheap solar electricity, they're planning to give some of it away for free. #PoliticsLive #NetZero

This 100%

Lee Anderson wants to know why 500 pubs a year are closing under Labour. So pleased he decided not to ask them why an average of 700 pubs a year closed in the ten years before Labour came to power. 😀 #PMQs

Stupidity is a real problem, and it's not taken seriously enough because intelligent people are nervous about pointing it out.

This.. 👍✋

How to make sure as few people go as possible

Farage’s Brexit was peddled as “taking back control”. It’s been a shitshow. And not because we didn’t leave the ECHR. But because flouncing out of our cooperative arrangements backfires. Prejudice makes for easy slogans but ruinous policy. We should be very wary of this simplistic bullshit by now.

What a mess. This is the damage done by social media lies and disinformation - aided by a government that subsidises and cossets the platforms that spread it. news.sky.com/story/uk-los...

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This sucks These should be taxed to oblivion

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name. Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

A lot of people blaming Burnham for Labour’s current mess. Shock, horror, a politician is personally ambitious. Very. But (and it’s a big but), the fault really lies with Starmer. He’s created this situation by choosing a path most natural Labour supporters hate, sunk in the polls. It’s on him.

Any doctor who can say this with a straight face should lose their license to practice medicine immediately

A simple diy anti impunity protest idea from Europe, you can also swap out Trump for Netanyahu or Putin. #3E

On a lighter note, we've just spent a couple of days visiting Norway and I was struck by the number of full electric vehicles on the roads, far more than in the UK. As a nation they seem happy to live with the apparent contradiction of also being home to a very large oil & gas industry..

Why TF would you ‘give Reform a go’? Yes. They represent change. But not good change. Not the change people want. This lot would torch everything we value and rely upon (NHS, public services, our rights, protections…) in an absolute frenzy of corruption, prejudice and uselessness. FFS. Please don’t.

The people who were murdered or almost murdered by ICE or by MAGA EXTREMISTS so far in Minnesota, in the last year.

Huzzah & Hooorah!🥳 That’s nearly all of Boris’s Cabinet now defecating to Reform. All we need now is for The Big Dog to join Reform, push Fartage out and hey presto…It’s a return to the good old days! Reform? Ha! It’s Conform UK now! 🇬🇧

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

It’s a mystery

Vote for Reform you are actively supporting the killings of innocent people in America and want the same here. Yes you fucking do,wake up and understand the world.

Reform are only in the position they are because of the unending coverage by the BBC and the fascist right-wing press owned by billionaires. If it it wasn't for all that free propaganda they would be nowhere.

Just another misstep...now it's lose lose. The clever move would have been to embrace. Burnham who may have lost, strengthening Starmer. Either way I'm not Labour but IMHO Burnham only one to turn Labour's fortunes around & confront Reform. #Butterflies

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Labour and Conservatives indistinguishable Shabana Mahmood and Sajid Javid lifting up the ladder behind them They might as well just fast forward to when they join Reform UK

The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.” That’s Reform in the UK. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/418...

Burnham: * Would have won, easily * Is the one Starmer fears most

Be in no doubt: the far right in the UK - Reform, Farage, Tommy Robinson and their supporters - are looking at what is happening in the US and saying: “That’s what we must have here.”

Joseph Boam has thankfully already been sacked from his roles within Leicestershire Council. Whilst the rest of us watch on with horror the murderous actions of ICE, of course he and other Reform members gladly proclaim their racist support.

We have to reject hate. We must choose hope.

republicans can stop death squads any time they want. they don’t want to. they *like* this. the rot is not the president. the rot is all of them.

Truth. All nations are doing a disservice to their citizens if they depend upon stable relations with the United States. Our country has been hijacked by a lunatic. You can't count on us any more in any way.

The old world order has been blown apart : Britain must adapt to survive Starmer’s US appeasement has failed and Britain, alone and vulnerable, needs new military strategies and closer alliances with EU and Canada By Andy Brown @andybrown1951.bsky.social

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

British voters don’t like Trump. In foreign affairs, he’s all Farage has got. Unless he wants to go public about Putin. So now, what does Farage do? Apparently he’ll have “some words” with the American delegation in Davos. Hahahaha. Delusional, traitorous clown. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/417...

The dog's face says it all.

Richard LittleJohn lives in a gated community in Florida. He has done for over a decade. He doesn’t give a shit about the UK.

Leaving NATO at a time like this would be absolutely nuts.

I haven't seen a single recognisable name in British Populism retweet Hannan's post, nor quote-tweeting/commenting on it approvingly.

#Starmer is unpopular because he lied to the electorate, shifted #Labour politically to the #right, spewed #FarRight rhetoric, funded #Israel 's genocide in #Gaza, done NOTHING about the high cost of living or the rise of #Reform, & cosied up to the wealthy & big businesses. He is beyond useless.

Suggested EU response: - US airbases now represent an armed presence, inside our borders, of a nation that is openly threatening to invade our territory - Withdraw the threat or we have no choice but to close those bases - This turns USA from a global power to a regional one, overnight 1/5
