The WSJ: Given what's happened with the USMCA and the tariffs that Canada is facing, how do you trust that the U.S. right now is negotiating in good faith and how do you trust any deal you sign with them? PM Mark Carney: We'll make that determination over the course of the negotiations.

You won't find me praising Kevin McCarthy for finally admitting that Biden won the 2020 election. He was a goddamn coward and caved to Trump when he was in charge of the Republican Party. This is absolute bullshit. No redemption tour, McCarthy.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

Yet another reminder to Americans. You had a revolution because you didn't want to pay tariffs on tea.

I mean the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs is itself extremely dubious, but the President clearly has zero authority to unilaterally strike trade deals without a vote from Congress.

Transphobes have this really irrational fear/hatred of people who do not conform to the very strict gender norms and expectations that they are more than happy to see others suffer from the policies their bigotry has put in place.

Reform UK is Far Right party for the billionaires, exactly the same as Donald Trump's MAGA. They will take everything from everybody else. Nobody should be voting for them.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

It is very difficult to see any difference between the invading and genocidal actions of Nazi Germany and Israel. So celebrating VE Day while wholeheartedly supporting Israel is completely hollow.
