Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Whats a 'special relationship' for if you can't be a critical friend Keir starmer? Most Brits do not want to be associated with Trumps evil. @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @ any labour politician who can be bothered to listen

Sangita is here!

An example of the right wing actively encouraging foreign interference in our democratic processes ... Such patriots 🙄

Seems the terrified silent majority don't have the numbers for the petition so they utilise a platform that allows manipulation and misinformation to promote a cause

“Most surveys now find that majority of regard Brexit as a serious mistake and would like to rejoin the EU … but given what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic, and Ukraine war, Europe needs desperately to hang together, and we are European!” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Worth noting… That the next most signed petition after asking for a 2nd EU referendum (4.1m) Was when 1.8m Brits petitioned to stop Trump making a state visit to the UK And that was prior to the 34 felonies, fascism and sexual assault liabilities Possibly needs a re-run…

What a cover ! We need a strong 🇪🇺 NOW ! #Europe

As long as everyone washes their hands, I’m good.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Never let facts get in the way of a good media hysteria about #InheritanceTax on #Farmers

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Labour source: "For someone who’s not doing it to avoid inheritance tax, he seems to have an intimate knowledge of the next step he’s going to take to avoid inheritance tax."

This sad incident at Edinburgh Zoo shows the horrible effect fireworks have on animals, domesticated or wild. 💔 Ad-hoc displays that pop up from members of the public being able to buy explosives are a real risk to animals - and shows why we need my Fireworks Bill to tighten trading laws on sales.

BoE Governor finally admits Brexit has "weighed" on the 🇬🇧 economy and relations with the EU must be rebuilt. "The impact on trade seems to be more in goods than services. "But it underlines why we must be alert to and welcome opportunities to rebuild relations ..." news.sky.com/story/brexit...

c.£175 million when legal fees added in. That is over 5yrs and over 1k cases carried out for the NHS by private providers…doubled in the last 5 years I assume these payouts are clawed back from the private provider? Anyone know? Still - doesn’t help the increased harm to patients
