Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

We want our star back! #rejoinEU #FBPE 🇪🇺

It's a no-brainer. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“The report said UK trade policy had been “muddled” and “rudderless” since the 2016 Brexit vote, adding that since leaving the EU single market and customs union, efforts to strike mini-deals with non-EU countries had run their course” Brexit - so tediously crap. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Totally awesome. Way to go Joe. 👍💪🇺🇸

After 14 yrs of Tory neglect patients in England hospitals dying in corridors, pregnant women miscarrying in side rooms. Cupboards, car parks, bathrooms used as makeshift areas for patients All to fund tax cuts for corporations & the rich and facilitate privatisation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

UK must rejoin EU customs union in order to boost Britain's economy and its ability to deal with the incoming Donald Trump presidency from a position of strength. Says Lib Dem leader Ed Davey. 👍 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Don’t let them steal a march on you, Labour. You’ll end up impotent and with nowhere to go! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and profit” President Joe Biden

Thought of the day…if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

Nigel Farage, who claims to represent the interests of "ordinary" working people, has just taken almost £200,000 from a gold bullion merchants in order to be their "brand ambassador"

Iceland will now have a referendum on accession talks with the EU. 🇮🇸 🇪🇺 Maybe time for Norway, UK, Greenland & Canada to move in the same direction to shore up our common European values. 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇬🇧 🇬🇱 🇨🇦 🇪🇺

Together? Shared values? @SenatorFischer, your husband refused to look at VP Harris. He refused to shake her hand. Did you approve of his behavior? Do you agree with that type of indecency & lack of civility? If not, call it out or take your version of "shared values" & shove it up your ass.

…he bought himself a country, to do with as he pleases…

A proactive press regulator would provide a fact-check service and rank newspapers by veracity and quality of information, with the resultant league table displayed by every news vendor.

FAVORITE PROTEST SIGNS… did you like it? Give it a 💙and please RP😘😘

Happy Christmas/Hanukkah!

Merry Christmas all you Blue butterflies. Have a happy and peaceful time.

Left: "Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK" Right: That time in 2019 when @carolecadwalla.bsky.social called out misinformation which influenced Brexit and took the UK out of the EU by a slim of margin Is Labour's inaction damaging the integrity of our democracy?

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago. We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mentre la Spagna accoglie immigrati per sostenere la sua economia, mentre Francia e Germania sono in crisi ma all'interno di una comunità che le può sostenere, il governo laburista inglese pensa di poter fronteggiare da solo la crisi economica e la minaccia di Reform imitandone le politiche. 🇮🇹

Can’t stop thinking about how totally crazy this line is from Labour ‘We promised new laws on money in politics in our manifesto but now we’re not going to do it because Nigel Farage could make political cap out of it (while Reform receives tens of millions in actual capital)’ 🤯🤯🤯

As we’re all sitting in the wreckage of what happened last time govt was fearful of Farage, Labour must wise up. Thinking you can cajole this hideous man into not having a massive tantrum is naive in the extreme. Let him howl and do right by the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Morning 🦋 I hope you are all well and ‘nearly’ ready for Christmas! Remember in the scheme of things that forgetting to dust behind the sofa is not really that important!!

I miss it. Brexiteers took away something they didn’t need to use from people who wanted to and did. I call that selfish, spiteful and stupid.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage continues to spout his boll**** unchallenged the UK must leave the ECHR If we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call him out

And so it begins. This had Trump's backing - actually, it was dictated by him. Musk turned enough GOP Reps. against, to force Trump into a U-turn. There were jokes in the chamber about "President Musk". Trump may try to style it out, but this is a direct challenge. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you really want to get to Trump then popularise the terms 'President Musk' and 'VP Trump'. Do that and I suspect the Odd Couple won't make it to January.

Yup! Rein him in or kick him out

Germans need to take this very seriously. Musk has 2 months to sway the German election for Putin and he's shown he can do it. If it's not taken seriously now it's over.

😬

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

For Iranian women to win their right to be seen & heard. It's imperative our gvts give them their full support in their fight against tyranny. Also doesn't hurt if ordinary Joe Publc give them a shoutout too.

Morning @sabaone.bsky.social - I know you love a Matt cartoon. Hope all well.

Flat tax rate is an ‘attractive idea’, says Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. Regressive. Billionaires and paupers will pay income tax at the same rate. Huge tax cut for the rich, accompanied by public service cuts and hike in other taxes. They hate the working class. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
