There it is. The clam before the storm.

Lift the two-child benefit cap immediately and provide poor families with help to eat and heat! North East teachers seeing terrible impact of poverty on children, union says www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Don't join the traitors. Never vote Reform.

EU peacekeepers 🇪🇺

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Let the onslaught begin! No chocolate for me…(well, not much anyway!) Don’t forget that there are plenty of people working whilst others play… But HAPPY EASTER, however the time passes for you! Try to get outside for a while, even if the skies look like rain. Enjoy family time if you can! 🐣 😄🤚

"Voters expect the Prime Minister to come away with more than just a defence pact when he hosts EU leaders in May and want him to prioritise removing trade barriers in the interests of bringing costs down and getting growth. " @pimlicat.bsky.social on our new polling.

We shouldn't be nationalising things just because they are going bankrupt. In fact we should be nationalising the ones making the biggest profits first.

Starmer: I'll only sign US tariffs deal if it suits UK. It will be a terrible deal. NHS will vanish. Expensive branded drugs instead of generic drugs. Hormone injected beef, chlorinated chicken, becoming the 51st state. Far better to join the EU.

I would do anything for growth (but I won't do that). Labour continues to put the party interest before the national interest.

We are going backwards every single day.

THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -

Britain 🇬🇧 doesn’t want to lower food standards. Doing a trade deal with Trump means allowing a tsunami of substandard foods which decimate public health and food security. USA deal also causes huge problems for Northern Ireland. Say NO to being Trumped! Write to your MP NOW!

US tourism is in for some things. (via @jeffasher.bsky.social) 🇺🇸

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey is meeting the BBC Director Genral next week to ask why we get less airtime than Deform – despite election results. You can help shape the questions he asks by filling in this form. Be nice. digitallibdems.typeform.com/to/RN7QwEqD

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

This short collection of top economists' comments on Trump's tariffs is well worth the short read. #TrumpSlump 📉

And there's only one solution that ticks all the boxes- #RejoinEU!

New blog post: WARNING Stop Look & Listen Before Crossing The Line timohare.blog/2025/04/03/w... in which I muse on how wisdom can emerge in life from unexpected sources (in this case an old railway sign) #wisdom #railway #sign #national-railway-museum

Have you seen all the bills going up? The Government MUST start doing more to help. Add your name now!

Hmm. Now might be a good time for the UK to strengthen relationships with our European neighbours 👀 By rejoining the Customs Union, the government could begin to overcome the obstacles that small businesses have faced in trading with our closest neighbours since Brexit www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bercow was infinitely better than the stooge Lindsay Hoyle. RT if you agree and to wind Nigel Farage up.

Marine Le Pen and her €4.7 million stolen from EU funds, she calls it politics. When thieves wear suits and wave flags, it’s not nationalism—it’s organized crime with a voter base.

“I have seldom encountered an Ombudsman’s report as unequivocal as this in its detail of maladministration by a government department. Yet, despite this ruling, the #WASPI women continue to be denied compensation.” Sir John Hayes MP www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2034...

So, Le Pen gets banned from running for election because she’s found guilty of embezzlement and her far-right fanclub starts huffing and puffing about whether this is democratic. Err. Yes. If you’re found guilty of corruption, you’re unfit for public office. It doesn’t matter how ‘popular’ you are.

You have to be crazy or completely corrupt to look at the UK with its billionaires who don't pay any taxes and its ripoff Energy Companies, polluting scumbag Water Companies and come to the conclusion that Disabled People and immigrants are the problem.

In case you missed it ... EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (and many other EU leaders) want and expect the UK to rejoin the EU. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺
