The whole “OMG Farage might be PM tomorrow”-thing is getting out of hand. It’s damaging to every single party except his.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The board has been an egregious rubber stamp for his heinous hijinks and lack of — wait for it — new innovative cars people want to buy. He’s kicked his consumers — mostly liberal and Democratic — repeatedly in the nuts too and blames George Soros for his own mess. Its board is to blame.

Dear media, We're going to need you to stop being polite with trump, stop using kind words to describe his bullshittery, his grifting, and his absolute CHAOS. When he lies, call it LYING. When he grifts, call it grift. When he acts like a fucking fascist, call it that.

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal. Farage/Reform want US style insurance-based healthcare; lower food/environmental standards, worker/consumer rights; return to gold standard, benefit cuts. Who in their right mind wants this.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

Everyone’s watching Reform UK, but the real story is Ed Davey, the most popular party leader in England. The Liberal Democrats are on the rise, it's just that the pollsters forgot to mention it. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports on @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Starmer told UK must repeal hate speech laws to protect LGBT+ people or lose Trump trade deal. Plus sacrifice the NHS, food and environmental standards, worker rights. Who governs? No thank you. Don't want to be the 51st state, or US slaves. Better to join the EU and Single Market.

Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft dodged $278bn US corporation taxes over 10 years. Paid 18.8%, compared with 29.7% US average. Profits shifted to low/no tax jurisdictions. Same companies operate in the UK, dodge taxes, create social squalor. Force companies to publish tax returns.

The EU doesn’t really do knee-jerk reactions. And when it comes to trade wars, it prepares its case, builds a consensus among its members — and saves its most painful retaliation until last. 🔗 ow.ly/JmHE50VyJsB

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

Europe did not start the tariff confrontation. Tariffs are taxes, paid by the people. But Europe has everything to protect our people and our prosperity. We will always promote & defend our interests and values. And we will always stand up for Europe. Full speech → europa.eu/!GDTK6R

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.
