So the white crosses on that road in South Africa were not graves. POTUS goes and worldwide tv and makes a fool of himself. No wonder the US is a losing the respect of the world. #trump #fakenews Fact-checking Trump's Oval Office confrontation with Ramaphosa www.bbc.com/news/article...

Reform, The Tories and the Right Wing press are all scathing of Starmers deal with the EU. Not because it’s a bad deal, but because they are scared to death it might work and bring benefits to the country. #starmer #uk-eu #fbpe

Instead of copying Reform, Starmer should have said “we have given it 12 months, it’s clear that the damage inflicted on this country by Brexit means we can’t achieve growth targets so we are reversing it”. Would attract votes from all remainers and lose no votes. Instead , he’s lost millions.

I had high hopes for Starmer but am rapidly losing faith in him. I didn’t vote for Tory Mk2 or Reform but got it. He could redeem himself by getting us back into in the EU, but with new leadership, the Tories might beat them to it when they finally realise they’ve lost the right wing to Reform.

People are fed up with Labour and the Tories. Instead of moving towards Greens or LibDems they are apparently migrating to Reform. A rich man’s party with no fully costed legal policies and with a history of misinformation. Reform is NOT the answer. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-...

It looks like being a misogynist or committing a crime against women is a minimum requirement for joining Trumps inner circle.

Liz Truss crashes the UK economy. Goes to the US. Their economy crashes. Surely not a coincidence? Any ideas where she should go next? #fbpe

It takes some getting used to but Trumps America is potentially as big a threat to European security as Putin.

Try telling Putin he’s got to hand back all territory and pay for reparation and see how easy he is. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg... #ukraine #trump

First multiple CCJ’s, then taking each other to court. Reform couldn’t be trusted to run a bath let alone the country #fbpe #reform www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

If anyone is, Trump is the one gambling on WW3. Putin wants to destabilize NATO, Trump is not bright enough to realise it and walks straight into the trap. European politicians falling over themselves to appease and flatter Trump much like they did in Germany in 1939. Dangerous times indeed

Trump: “We need to end this war but you’ll need to give the land back.” Putin: “Why should I give back land? They started it. I’m not giving any land back to that second rate comedian dictator, who only has a 4% rating. And you can forget about them joining NATO” Trump: “OK.” Negotiations end.

Is this the first time in history that the negotiators are both on the same side? It certainly feels like it. Who gave the Americans the right to negotiate, anyway? #ukraine #trump #peacetalks

A thread. 1. Labour should be judged at the end of this Parliament, not before. If they haven’t delivered, and we don’t feel better off, they will be toast - but they must be given time. One or two unpopular policies does not mean they won’t be successful overall in the long term.

Farage should be pressed to explain this at event opportunity. He will doubtless try to blame the Tories but the truth is no one could agree on precisely what Brexit actually meant, despite the “Brexit means Brexit” nonsense. #FBPE

Much nicer on here than on X but disappointing that so many who claim to be #FBPE and #FBPR don’t follow back. Some from your starter packs @sydesjokes.bsky.social What’s the protocol? Ignore, unfollow or name and shame?

When the benefit system was introduced it was to be a support system for hard working people who had fallen on hard times. Not a lifestyle choice. We need to get back to that premise. We all contribute and help each other. #fbpe

I’m surprised that there aren’t hundreds of thousands marching on London to protest about the fact that farmers only have to pay half of the inheritance tax that we do. #farmers #fbpe

Got no time for #FarmersProtest! Pay your tax! Average farm=£2.2m. Most farms worth up to £3m can escape without paying ANY inheritance tax!! This will only affect rich landowners, around 400 farms. The rest of us have to pay 40% tax over 750k. They only pay 20% over £3m! #Farmers

As another #farmersprotest takes place today in London, I thought it would be useful to create a "damage to UK farming" timeline, from 2016 to 2024: 2016 Tories Boris Johnson & Michael Gove win the Brexit referendum, meaning UK will leave the Common Agricultural Policy. No farmer protests. 1/9

Does anyone else get really angry when Starmer says “of course it doesn’t mean a return to the single market or customs union” as if it’s a good thing? Can someone have a word? #FBPE
