Mr Fox is the 3rd dog I ever started feeding in Thailand. He lived on his own in the jungle but loved all humans. His greetings were always the best. I still can’t believe when footage of him in his new home comes through…. (1/6)

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Life expectancy growth stalls across Europe as England sees sharpest decline. Inequalities; poverty; poor access to good food, housing, healthcare, dentists; junk food take toll. Austerity kills. Govts obsessed with it. Redistribution is off the political agenda.

Thames Water, which is over £16 BILLION in debt, has just been granted a £3 billion rescue loan. Last December it was still paying fat dividends to bosses and shareholders. This corporate greed and entitlement needs to be stopped. As I’ve said before: It’s fucking WATER.

Most of UK’s big build-to-rent developers owned by foreign private equity firms. They don't build for families or the poor. Profiteering, debt, tax dodges are the game. They expect govt contracts and land to boost business. Councils can build cheaper, eliminate profiteering.

I get that Britain has to walk a tight rope of international diplomacy, especially after Brexit and the resulting isolation. I get Trump can't be called out on everything. His stance on Russia doesn't fall into that though. We have to make a stand with Europe. No fucking about.

This is appalling. A major decision with profound implications for refugees can't even be debated in parliament. Because it's not primary or even secondary legislation it doesn't pass the attorney general's desk. Zero scrutiny. Zero accountability.

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats when there are no legal routes for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, they’re wrong - it’s more likely to strengthen it

This is ghoulish from Labour. Using people's suffering to try and appease Reform, which is something no-one will ever go far enough for. Labour has the potential to actually be doing something to reduce hostility. Instead they are stoking anti-migrant attitudes just like the Conservatives did.

🤦‍♂️ So Labour are making ads boasting about deportations, with Reform-style branding. Why are Labour trying to be like Farage and his mates? If only the Government put as much effort into creating a fast, fair and dignified asylum system.

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

Reform hasn’t got to this point organically. They have got to this point via foreign money, Russian interference, disinformation, mass manipulation, disproportionate MSM coverage and being constantly massively boosted by right wing social media companies. There is fuck all democratic about it.
