Oh God! Starmer meets Trump, is now interjected BBC & @skynewsrss.bsky.social with the hiddeous, tightly-trousered Tate brothers, fresh off their jet, blaming George Soros for their woes! Poor Starmer, sandwiched by celebrity rapists. #Manosphere. #TateBros #Madness

If you want to know how concerned to be about climate change, talk to a climate scientist. Very. If you want to know how concerned to be about the rise of fascism, talk to a historian. The ones I’ve spoken to are as concerned about our time as any other time in the last 100 years.

Cutting aid to fund defence, Mr Starmer, is both cruel and self-defeating. I agree we need to defend ourselves. But creating a less stable, less humane world is no way to do it.

"Cutting the aid budget to fund defence spending is a false economy that will only make the world less safe." Sarah Champion MP is right. As well as harming some of the poorest people on the planet, this Trumpian cut will be a real blow to UK leadership on climate and much else. A very sad day.

Utterly shameful - a sickening betrayal of some of the poorest people. And counterproductive too - as if global security isn’t also dependent on efforts to tackle the climate crisis, global poverty, inequality, and humanitarian needs.

Truly idiotic stuff. You make the world less safe by letting destitution spread.😡 More idiocy; our armed forces can be easily funded by #RejoinEU. We impoverish ourselves by pursuing Putin's #BrexitDisaster. The whole country has woken up... bar Westminster.🤡😱😡 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New UK defence policy: increase defence budget to make UK safer, pay for it by cutting aid budget, which will make UK less safe by increasing global insecurity. Genius …

The net-zero economy grew 10% in 2024. Green=Growth. The line I love from this article is that Tory & Reform parties did not respond to request for comment 🤦‍♂️ - in their pursuit or culture wars, Badenoch & Farage are undermining economic growth and would condemn U.K. to dependence on high cost gas

On German TV after claiming victory, Merz made clear the #1 problem Germany faces is Trump as he sells out Ukraine & abandons NATO "I am under absolutely no illusions about Trump. The top priority of my govt will be to secure independence from a dangerous & unpredictable Trump-led US." (more)

"The Trump administration does not care about Europe and is aligning with Russia." Good to hear #Merz is taking no shit, calling out "outrageous" behaviour by Trump. Sounds like much needed European leadership has arrived (albeit concerned about his Palestine position). #GermanElection

Actually Starmer's & 'the West's' weak acquiescence to Netanyahu's criminality has undermined the international rules-based order & empowered fascists everywhere, including Putin. Not impressive at all.

Well said @eddavey.libdems.org.uk. Moreover, government normalising Trump's 'Might is Right' approach will only empower the hard right here in the UK. Beware of falling out the overton window.

Since feed in tariff payments were cut, solar panel installations have become more concentrated in richer areas. The Government should make sure that consumer benefits from this net zero transition aren’t just hogged by richer households. Read our latest analysis here 👉 https://buff.ly/4hyzAB7
