We have to stand tall with our allies in Canada and Europe against Trump's tariffs and show that Britain will not be bullied. That means preparing potential tariffs including on Elon Musk's Teslas, and urgently negotiating a better trade deal with the EU.

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

Today, March 25th, is the Feast of the Annunciation, commemorating the Angel Gabriel’s visit to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would bear the Christ child. One of the most popular subjects in Christian art, there are depictions of the Annunciation in two of our churches.

I see that Rachel Reeves is saying benefits are not a lifestyle choice, and citing Personal Independence Payment (PIP). You know what? PIP _isn't_ a choice - for people with serious disabilities and illnesses, it's a necessity. Nobody would ever choose to live this way.

The Great Disability Myth Disability isn't increasing because of "fraud" or "overdiagnosis." It's increasing because people age, because we've lived through a pandemic, because austerity made people sicker. But Labour wants to use a moral panic to justify taking even more.

The @thegreenparty.bsky.social believes that society’s richest, I'm talking about the multi-millionaires and billionaires, should pay a bit more in tax to invest in our country. If you believe millionaires like Tice & his mates should pay more tax, join.greenparty.org.uk.

Water companies are pumping sewage in our sea and taking record profits. Labour refuses to nationalise them. In the exact same way he won't tax the wealth of the 1%, blames migrants & cut winter fuel for pensioners. Is it any surprise they're tanking?

Deeply disturbing to hear Jonathan Reynolds say the UK's role is to be a bridge to the US We need to be part of the European camp that still subscribes to democracy and the rule of law Not compromising with US fascism #BBCLauraK

Exclusive | Labour MPs pressure Starmer to call out Trump's Gaza remarks as 'ethnic cleansing' 🔴 @whazell.bsky.social reports inews.co.uk/news/politic...

Today at #PMQs - “When Labour negotiates our country loses,” said Kemi Badenoch (several times). She might have already forgotten the great #Brexit negotiation disaster under the Tories. But those of us who support closer ties with Europe certainly haven’t.

As Trump champions the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and makes the world a much more divided and dangerous place, let's remind ourselves what the leaders of Reform and the Tories, and previous Tory PMs stated before Trump took office.

When Fines are not Fines. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat announced fines totalling £168m on three water companies – Thames Water £104m; Yorkshire Water £47m; Northumbrian Water, £17m. Not a penny has been paid. Companies with 400 criminal convictions are allowed to negotiate what and when they will pay.

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Fantastic 1 minute sales pitch for @greenparty.org.uk from Zack - he's SO good at this. 👏🏻 If you feel like the Labour party doesn't represent you any more, but aren't sure what the Greens stand for other than "the environment" & tackling the climate crisis - here you go. 👇🏻

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

‘Forever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity’. Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We mark the end of the Holocaust because there is no definitive date on which it first began. That remains its greatest warning. Never forget.

At about this time the 1st soldiers of the 322nd rifle div in the Red Army came across Auschwitz 80 years ago today It is something they would never forget It is something survivors of death camps will never forget- the experience of the death camps We should never forget it. Nor repeat it

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Trump used his inaugural address to attack LA firefighters, saying that Californians were left "without a token of defence". His policies will further accelerate climate breakdown, destroying the lives & livelihoods of countless Americans. #Inauguration2025 #TrumpInauguration

I couldn’t give a damn about Badenoch’s speech today. They’re out of power. 4+years from an election. Incapable of working out where they went wrong. Unapologetic for the damage they’ve done. Pathologically dishonest and very unpleasant. Nothing she says will change that. Nothing she says matters.
