So Trump’s strategy of tariff mayhem seems to have paid off regarding the a post Brexit UK which is now so weak it cannot stand up to a hostile POTUS. Gone is the shield that EU provided. So our PM simpers and nods at Trumps every idiot move for fear of being picked on.

Everyone on the planet needs to know this. EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!

I know he’s terrified of incurring the wrath of the orange despot, but I think the world needs to ask how it would react if the US monster wasn’t in the room. Our allies right now are in the EU

Head of state, desperate to avoid haemorrhaging support and inevitable sanction if he loses power plays the war card… Q - which despot am I talking about?

With this crop of neo-fascist authoritarians any dramatic actions they instigates begs the question, what do they want us not to put on the front page.

This 👇🏽 💯 #NotMyPresident #LAStrong

Any other govt behaved like this and we’d be talking about sanctions , not trade deals. The free world needs to think about how to get on without this POTUS until the USA we love is reclaimed by its citizens.

Mil/Billionaires who would leave the country to avoid contribution to its society are the sorts of people we should be happy to wave goodbye to. As long as proper tax is paid by the corporate for UK earnings without fiddled structure costs for tax haven postal addresses - then job done

Dammit this has to stop. We have to isolate Israel and if the Trump is why we fear all out sanctions then he’s the problem too.

We limeys need to know - do ICE agents wear masks because they worry the media will identify them from the 2000 insurrection or just because they are dyed in the wool terrorists.

50 years ago today, when Britain voted to remain in Europe (and not by a small majority but a large one), the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc were not owned by three far-right Europhobes.

What is @keirstarmer.bsky.social upto? Huge majority - be bold. Make a difference. Undo the abuses… make these corporates accountable.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

This good news merits a bit of press attention, but our right wing press will ignore it while it parrots every word said by Farage… bsky.app/profile/simo...

What precisely will they fix - the election result one assumes: with any assistance they can get from Putin along the way.

Given what we’ve seen already from this POTUS, one wonders if it was willingly given or under duress - a monumental protection racket - Pay up or you are history.

Dear world, Seems obvious - the US isn’t doing deals: representatives have been slipped a massive dose of Dic D’s Rohypnol Elixir. It’s Trump dealing the cards and if there’s one think we know about him it’s that he’s cheated on every deal he’s ever done. Dont deal with Don the Con.

The US is utter chaos. Complete and utter chaos, for at least another four years and probably long into the future. Any British government working in the national interest will be investigating how to quickly reduce our exposure to it.

Why be a climate denier? Cause there’s billions to make if corporates don’t have to clean up the damage they do and a politician for hire is a cheap way to avoid taking responsibility for our collective future.

The Heathrow fire is a siren showing be why the ongoing bias to the South East is naïve in strategic and carbon terms. It undermines resilience and further unbalances the economic geography of the uk. How about better rail links east, west so underutilised regional airports work

1. Today the Tories unveil their new policy: ripping up the commitment to net zero by 2050. Kemi Badenoch, with no evidence, claims "it can’t be achieved without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us." What the evidence shows is the opposite. We can't prosper without it. 🧵

Whilst it’s good that people are voting against the oligarchs with their wallets, the pain is really only over when elected representatives listen to their voters rather than their funders.

The USA is not a place I feel inclined to visit anymore…

Not a new meme but ever more relevant

Ever picked your feet in poughkeepsie?

Under the surface of every bully is a very disturbed and dysfunctional person. America the land of inclusion, needs someone who loves not hates other people

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
