I guess he thought we would just keep buying his cars no matter what he did or said. He was wrong.

#HappyEaster from EU ! 🇪🇺

Reform UK Kent illegally using the Kent County Council on their literature…

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "We heard Trump talking about all the countries queuing up to kiss his ass, was the European Union amongst those?" Petras Auštrevičius MEP laughs then says "The European Union doesn't kiss asses" "We are a serious institution, we are well based on values and the rule of law"

Never a great sign when the rolling news channels decide to cover the daily opening of the shock exchange as a news event.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

Straight down seems bad

April Fool's day. Remember that sense of suspicion we feel today, how critical we are about everything everyone is telling you, how we fact check even the big accounts we normally blindly believe and retweet. We should do do this more often ;)

Foreign Dictatorship US tells European companies to comply with Trump’s anti-diversity order. His diktats must be applied if they are a supplier or service provider to the US govt, Local democracy and sovereignty doesn't count. Will EU/UK fight-back or be a US slave? archive.ph/cvBUG

Today's front pages are not holding back after Reeves' #SpringStatement. Cutting benefits for people on the lowest incomes is - unsurprisingly - *not* a popular policy. You know what is? A closer trading relationship with the EU. Our latest polling below. ⤵️

The journey of rejoining the EU will be long + with many twists + turns. The 1st step is a call for an inquiry into the impact of leaving To get that process started, we need your signature, PLEASE, sign, + ask friends + family to share on all SM platforms petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trump continues his aggression towards Canada l, calling them “one of the nastiest countries ti deal with” meanwhile he cosies up to Russia.

Hilarious but sadly true, UK Subs punk band refused entry to the USA at LA Airport. dorseteye.com/im-so-proud-...

MPs are debating next week whether the UK should rejoin the European Union (answer: it should). Write to your MP and ask them to support the motion, which is being debated thanks to a petition signed by over 100,000 people. #RejoinEU www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/community/mp...

The news: *unending, unremitting despair and hatred* Social media: *unending, unremitting despair and hatred* Politicians: "mental illness is being overdiagnosed"

Perfection 👌

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

BREAKING | Greenland election won by centre-right party who told Trump ‘we are not for sale’

💯 was intentional. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism. Mass direct action.

British PM Starmer hugged Zelenskyy. That’s how bad U.S. foreign policy has gotten—it’s driving the Brits to physical displays of emotion.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

If you’re outraged by Trump and want to *do* something… Join European Movement UK. Rejoin. Europe needs to unite hard. 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺

Great news for money launderers!

Our very good friend and West Yorkshire author Linda Green has a new book out. “The Woman With All The Answers” is available from all good book shops.

The best thing about all this is that Putin apologist and Trump sycophant Nigel Farage has finally shut the fuck up.

Good morning all! 🇺🇦 Please share everywhere. 🙏🏻

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

Why is he so incredibly nice to Putin and then so incredibly mean to Zelensky? what’s that about

Rejoining the EU just became A LOT more urgent. In a world where you literally can't count on the USA for anything at all any more, grab your friends when you can! And if Labour can play the "circumstances have changed" card to bin foreign aid, they certainly can to stampede back towards the EU!

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...
