The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs. At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong. I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33% Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

Do please buy a copy and take it personally to your MP. It will bring them up to speed with why change is necessary and needed urgently.

Was just on @lbc.co.uk talking to @mrjamesob.bsky.social about how Kemi Badenoch ditched her support for Net Zero after she and her Shadow Cabinet received multiple donations from individuals funding and chairing anti Net Zero lobby groups bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

This is a very informative post. Be sure to follow the connecting threads to get the full discussion being put forth by Seth.

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta... My abiding belief - those who aren’t paying enough (and in some cases any) tax should be held to account.

Whether or not #Trump was recruited as a Russian asset in 1987, he certainly is one now.

On that I fully agree with King Trump. Who is with me??? 😂

I'd love to see this at No. 1 in the charts. How did they write it so quickly?

When Ukraine gave up it's nuclear weapons, it's safety was guaranteed by three countries: The US, The UK, & Russia. Russia attacked them & the US has betrayed them. Only the UK stands with Ukraine. In a world of global threats, it pays to know who you can trust. #SlavaUkraïni

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

So while Trump banned the Associated Press from the Oval Office, a reporter from Russia's state-owned news agency TASS was allowed in to cover his attack on Zelensky

This was a pre-arranged public mugging by two cowardly thugs of a humble man willing to give up everything for peace and sovereignty and with English not his first language. Trump was ready to sell on to Putin the minute the mineral deal was done. The childish rapist fooled nobody.

I don't like having to block accounts but isn't it amazing how people with no facts to back up their opinions find it necessary to verbally abuse an old woman?

You'd think he'd be ashamed that he rushed to get his kids German passports after the Brexit vote so they could keep their freedom in Europe.

“The occupant of the Oval Office – the leader of the free world – seems happier to side with the brutal tyrant Putin than to support America’s allies. It feels like we have fallen through the looking glass” Sir Ed Davey www.independent.co.uk/voices/ed-da...

2 days in a row russian dictator putin is attacking Ukrainian cities with “RS-26 Rubezh” - middle range ballistic missile which can be used as a NUKE carrier. All allies of Ukraine have to strengthen their support and be as much united as ever to stand with Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦 Share this🇺🇦🇺🇦

The “West” is over — it’s only Europe and a few allies now. Time to get real and start to see dependence on the US as a fifth column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

You cannot hold free and fair elections when your country has been is invaded and you're in the middle of a war. During World War Two, Britain held no general election between 1935 and 1945. To suggest that Ukraine should hold one now only helps Russia. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🕊

If #Trump thinks #Zelenski should 'do a deal' with Ukraine's invaders then why doesn't he do the same with illegal US immigrants and let them stay?
