Take note.

Not that I care much about Reform activists or their supporters, but the level of disrespect for them that his resignation statement represents says all you need to know about the odious nature of the people leading this party. Zia Yusuf resigns as Reform UK chairman www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Right on it!

Day 1193 of my 3 day war. Several billion dollars worth of Russian aircraft were destroyed by several thousand dollars of Ukrainian drones. I remain a master strategist.

This guy is Reform’s new councillor for Stretton in Staffordshire. This is what you get with that party - all they’re interested in is making libs cry. They’re too weak and pathetic to do the hard yards. Imagine what a Reform government would be like.

Comprehensive list.

Better late than never I suppose! Let’s hope there’s action and not just rhetoric. UK steps up action against Israel over Gaza offensive www.bbc.com/news/article...

🗺 The UK’s ranking falls again in the annual European rainbow map, as it's revealed that - for the first time since records began - transgender rights are in decline across Europe 🧵👇

Hear hear! And also a shining example of synthetic right wing outrage.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

NO! WE DON’T WANT SOME HALF-ARSED AGREEMENT WITH THE EU, THAT DELIVERS BUGGER ALL. WE WANT BREXIT UNDONE! Stop pratting about and start by rejoining the SM & CU. These are perilous times. We must unite with Europe. We are vulnerable on our own. We need Europe - Europe needs us!

Well done Australia! A vote for common sense and common decency. He wanted to be Australia's PM. But a 'Trump effect' thwarted Peter Dutton www.bbc.com/news/article...

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for. I know a lot of people who use it to avoid MAGA businesses. 🤭

We’ve know this for ages but it’s good that this kind of analysis in now on mainstream TV in the UK

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes. Farage would sell the NHS. He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit. He is a traitor.

Did you know? Nigel Farage came from a wealthy family, was educated at a private school and started his career as a commodity broker in London. He is the leader of Reform UK Party Ltd which is actually a limited company with two directors,Farage and Richard Tice. Lee Anderson is Chief Whip, 👇 .

This is an absolute outrage. They MUST be charged and they MUST have custodial sentences!! Although, they’re rich , privileged and not trying to save the planet 🌍- so I expect they’ll get off scot free 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully Starmer has seen this.

Ho are they even gonna know since they've fired the food inspectors?

When you replace bravery with stupidity, you get treachery.

Not a Shrewsbury Town supporter myself but love that the Swiss Guard have adopted their colours.

Donald Trump could be given the honour of addressing the UK parliament. We can't let him spout his idiocy and hate in the heart of our democracy. MPs are pushing back - now it’s our turn. Sign the petition to stop this national embarrassment: 38d.gs/yfl7

Well said!

UK MPs and peers are calling on the Speaker to prevent any attempt to allow Trump the honour of addressing Parliament during his State visit.

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Yesterday I posted what David Frum said about the relationship between UK and the USA and UK and the EU. Here another article on the same topic

I agree with David Frum, the Senior editor of The Atlantic, Washington : "To the extent that Trump / Vance have a strategic vision for the US-UK relationship, it is not to strengthen the UK. The vision is to weaken Europe by severing UK from the continent. "

'Starmer confirmed that diluting digital regulation was on the table in [US] trade talks.' Starmer had better understand that such capitulation to Trump is unacceptable to the UK electorate.

Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/chicken-bsk
