Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for. I know a lot of people who use it to avoid MAGA businesses. 🤭

We’ve know this for ages but it’s good that this kind of analysis in now on mainstream TV in the UK

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes. Farage would sell the NHS. He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit. He is a traitor.

Did you know? Nigel Farage came from a wealthy family, was educated at a private school and started his career as a commodity broker in London. He is the leader of Reform UK Party Ltd which is actually a limited company with two directors,Farage and Richard Tice. Lee Anderson is Chief Whip, 👇 .

This is an absolute outrage. They MUST be charged and they MUST have custodial sentences!! Although, they’re rich , privileged and not trying to save the planet 🌍- so I expect they’ll get off scot free 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully Starmer has seen this.

Ho are they even gonna know since they've fired the food inspectors?

When you replace bravery with stupidity, you get treachery.

Not a Shrewsbury Town supporter myself but love that the Swiss Guard have adopted their colours.

Donald Trump could be given the honour of addressing the UK parliament. We can't let him spout his idiocy and hate in the heart of our democracy. MPs are pushing back - now it’s our turn. Sign the petition to stop this national embarrassment: 38d.gs/yfl7

Well said!

UK MPs and peers are calling on the Speaker to prevent any attempt to allow Trump the honour of addressing Parliament during his State visit.

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Yesterday I posted what David Frum said about the relationship between UK and the USA and UK and the EU. Here another article on the same topic

I agree with David Frum, the Senior editor of The Atlantic, Washington : "To the extent that Trump / Vance have a strategic vision for the US-UK relationship, it is not to strengthen the UK. The vision is to weaken Europe by severing UK from the continent. "

'Starmer confirmed that diluting digital regulation was on the table in [US] trade talks.' Starmer had better understand that such capitulation to Trump is unacceptable to the UK electorate.

Outrageous. Trump has told the UK that if we want tariff relief we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/chicken-bsk

Don’t be fooled by hate and rage baiting. Great thread debunking disinformation in rage baiting posts.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

We’ve had enough of the Brexit failure, we really don’t trust Trump’s America and we want a better, more prosperous relationship with our European neighbours… “Will of the people” got us into this Brexit mess, why shouldn’t it get us out of it too? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

💥 DEBATE SECURED: A crucial debate on our trading relationship with the EU is happening on 24 April. Trump's trade war means we urgently need to strengthen our ties with the EU. Email your MP to make sure they attend the debate 👉 buff.ly/kiIXHLa

I try to resist making comparisons with the Nazis, but I’m not sure for how much longer. apple.news/Al9Em14wVROe...

The Conservatives’ likely next leader Robert Jenrick has gone full on MAGA in a way that should disturb all UK citizens. He’s naming and highlighting independent UK judges he considers “Far Left”. His dog whistle reaches some of the most violent Far Right people in the country.

Right folks we’ve now been told by Truss🥬 to accept her version of the truth behind her market meltdown that started just after she became PM and did her mini major meltdown budget👇🏼 So Ohh yeah alright Liz we believe you then.. we really do 🙄🤭🤭😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🙄

“The blindingly obvious way to go is to rejoin the EU. We know how to do business in Europe We know the rules and how they work. We helped make many of them. We’d have full access to Europe’s giant consumer, public procurement and business to business markets” @cluthaman.bsky.social t.co/HgLNjrjCrR

Since Brexit, Britain has been hit by... - Brexit - Trump 1 - Pandemic - Energy crisis - Cost of living crisis - Fallout from Russia's war on Ukraine - Trump 2 - now with extra crazy Starmer keeps telling us "things have changed". Yes, they have. 100.00%. So why not when it comes to Brexit too?!

Two nauseating world leaders in one image.

This odious piece of pond life is a heartbeat away from the US presidency. And note the idiot who says “he likes Vance but the rhetoric needs to change”. This isn’t rhetoric it’s who he is! apple.news/A5OFXQ9y2TVC...

After everything that has happened with Trump's tariffs... After Keir Starmer's big "everything has changed" pieces in the Times and Telegraph over the weekend... Labour have REPEATED their red lines on Brexit today! Just insane. Telegraph article archive.ph/LygJj Times article archive.ph/n1xzt

Donald Trump’s trade wars are crashing the global economy. He's not spared the UK from his new tariffs, so why should we roll out the red carpet for him with a second state visit? Join more than 200,000 of us and add your name to this petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

This!!!

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Yesterday I spoke in Parliament about #readingfc and the need for a regulator that passes 'the Reading test'. I want to ensure that no more fans have to suffer through what Reading has suffered through. I hope the exclusive talks with a new buyer will be our route out. Watch below 👇

Earlier this month, I spoke in Parliament about #readingfc being a family club. If the owner refuses to sell, we risk the club not being around for the families of tomorrow.
