BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

Imagine in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban in 45 degrees, weighed down by 100lbs of gear, fighting for your life & lives of your buddies.. You come home scarred mentally and physically.. And one day a draft dodger President cuts off your veteran medical care.. just because you voted against him😱🤬

Obama is the bigger man…. A president the world respected as a man and a statesman…. Taco is a president who is most hated president in American history….

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France. Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries. The magic of Brexit.

There may be a need for collaborative reform of the ECHR, but… the brexity call to do so is disingenuous and dangerous. It’s another way to pretend something European is to blame for the failures of our own govts. Let’s not restrict our own rights to pander to that nonsense again. (Letter, Times)

Well worth a watch as I’m sure #Reform will be furious that they’re dirty laundry is being added by Channel 4, good for them

Signs of protest. #NoKings

I am so pleased that this bill has been voted through. The UK has lagged behind in legalising this human right: the right of an individual to choose to end their own suffering, to die with dignity.

MPs have just voted to back the assisted dying bill. The passage of this bill, the scrutiny, the thoughtful arguments put forward on both sides is British politics at its best. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied

Well there’s always the option of going back to X and enjoying things they miss… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Obviously insane now.

In my view Starmer has quickly become a very useful, well respected and influential world leader. It has been a long long time since the UK has had one of those.

Happy Valentines dear.

Obama signed a Nuclear Deal with Iran that meant they would never get a Nuclear weapon. Donald Trump tore it up. Now he wants to wage a war for a problem he created.

This.

Thinking of all my friends in Kyiv and hoping world leaders wake up, forcing an end to the full scale occupation ends asap

Remembering Jo Cox today, and despising that twisted riot-starter even more.

Many of you understand British collective psychology better that I. So, if the UK asks to join 🇪🇺, chances are they'll get a list of reasons why not. Will the UK say: "Fùçk ðąt" and walk away? Or "Fûčk ďêm" and knuckle down to meet the requirements for accession? 1 @

How Badenoch’s particular form of ‘right wing unpopulism’ somehow manages to combine the least popular parts of Farage’s offer, with the most unsympathetic parts of US Republicanism, in order to present something that appeals to almost nobody in the UK.

One of my favorite signs of the day.
