Just about to leave nearly 2000 followers on X because I’ve had enough of Musk, Farage etc and their nasty right-wing cabal. Hoping to find some blue sky here and some like-minded, honest and empathetic people.

Bannon the latest in the “Britain doesn’t manufacture anything” brigade. It’s a lazy trope you hear repeated in the media a lot. In fact the UK remains the 8th or 9th biggest manufacturer in the world. 10% of our GDP with some of the most advanced manufacturing anywhere.

Right wing populist politics has been so damaging and so brain-achingly tedious this last decade. Look at where we are as a result. Far poorer, weaker, more divided, isolated from the EU and trying not to piss off an egomaniacal lunatic in the White House. Sovereignty at its most vulnerable.

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

“Take back control of our laws” so American fascists can decide them for us… I don’t think so. Just imagine if the EU demanded this of us. Intolerable for it to even be on the table. Intolerable to be at this table at all, frankly. Another Brexit humiliation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Matt Hancock intervened personally to help a pizza firm, owned by a Conservative donor, win a lucrative Covid PPE contract. Two days before winning the deal, the company, which had no previous experience of supplying medical equipment, removed ‘pizza’ from its name bylinetimes.com/2025/04/11/m...

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

Feels almost cruel to point out that all the bollocks about our 10% tariffs being a 'Brexit benefit' lasted for about four days. But here we are...

Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?" Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP" "Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%" "And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

Govt may be relieved that UK faces lower Trump tariffs than others but it’s a trap. A deal with the unreliable lunatic means lowering standards, betraying our farmers and undermining trust and compatibility for any EU reset which is far more valuable to us. Let’s not fuck this up too. (Letter,Times)

Three minutes from me on why the Trump tariff “Brexit dividend” idea is the weirdest take of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c98A...

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I started boycotting American products a couple of weeks ago. Check every label now and if it has anything American related it’s back on the shelf.

Kemi Badenoch just revealed her ignorance when she arrogantly described Adolescence ( a programme she hasn’t watched) as a work of fiction and less important than many other issues. She’s just proved just how out of touch with reality she is.

Does anyone think Trump’s tariffs are an April Fool and that he really does have a sense of humour after all?
