🔴 ‘Don’t Buy a Swasticar’: Tesla Hit by UK Boycott Campaign Over Elon Musk’s Far-Right Support Electric vehicle producer Tesla has been targeted by activists due to its far-right owner’s interference in British politics bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

This is a poor headline from the BBC. The US aren't offering a "deal" - they want the minerals in return for support already given. It's straight up extortion.

This is why I helped Labour to win the election 👇

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

Morning Bluesky. The UK and Norway are in talks about an Arctic Defence Pact to combat the Russian threat. That’s full circle for me. One of my first jobs in journalism was being embedded with UK troops on NATO manoeuvres in the Arctic Circle in Norway.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

This is what the man Trump idolises does with dissent. It’s not a leap to suppose this is what Tyrant Trump would like to be doing in the US. Oh, and MAGA - he WILL come for you too. In Russia, dozens of dissenters are held as psychiatric patients - www.reuters.com/world/europe...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the entire free world.

"It's outrageous that Ukraine isn't front and centre in these negotiations alongside Europe and the UK." @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Found it! A list of companies backing Project 2025. Boycott them all.

Thames water shouldn't be getting bailouts and it shouldn't be hiking bills. It should be nationalised. Repost if you agree 👍 www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

Buckingham Palace worth £2,000,000,000 Pays only £1,824 Council Tax. I bet you pay more than that, and it shows you how Council Tax is rigged so the richest actually pay less than everyone else.

I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions. The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans. We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

Campaigners are challenging the lawfulness of restrictions brought in by the former Conservative Home Secretary Suella Braverman

Charlie Maynard, "Of the £1.4 billion going to Thames Water, £900 million is going out in interest expenses and advisors fees" "So little of this will fix the problem, it's just a fees fest" "Thames Water should be put in special administration, bankruptcy to you and I"

How about an election in Russia?

This is the 4th starter pack that #FBPE uses to announce its campaign waves (aka twitter storms) to support the EU and fight far-right parties. In our next campaign on Sunday, 16 February, we support democratic parties in Germany and fight the AfD and Musk, who openly supports these Neo-Nazis.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!
