We desperately need to see the end of the bloodshed in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people need to be front and centre of any settlement. We cannot have Putin or Trump dictating the future of Ukraine.

Green MP Adrian Ramsay to Richard Tice: “The reality is, if you bring in tax breaks for yourself and Nigel Farage we will not have the investment that we need to restore our National Health Service” #bbclaurak

Question Time last night was pretty fierce. And had to be. There's a deliberate effort now to shift the ground: towards appeasement, inhumanity and authoritarianism. Once more, we must resist it. We must fight hard for kindness. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Morning all. Whilst watching QT last night & hearing a few people say they liked what Trump was doing, an idea came to me. Why doesn't our Govt issue an executive order declaring Brexit has failed & that we will be taking steps to rejoin the EU. I can just hear their howls of rage & betrayal.

🔥 Please reshare this important statement on Ukraine from the governments of Germany, France, UK, Poland, Italy and Spain. Europe stands with Ukraine. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

And the cool thing is that this petition is now on 113,000… Crossing the 100K mark only accelerated it. 🚀

True!

Patel. Braverman. Shapps. Braverman (again). Cleverly. Cooper. 6 years of Home Secretaries from both tired old parties demonising migrants. 6 years of refusing to face up to the consequences of their austerity. 6 years of protecting the interests of the powerful and wealthy

We may hate politics, we may hate the arguments & confrontation, we may feel that 'all' politicians are out for themselves & their mates - some are, but many are not. The only way we can get the self centred & corrupt out of office is to fight back & support the decent politicians out there.

We revealed Nigel Farage’s voting record to his constituents in Clacton. They weren’t happy.

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates. If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.

Please support this worthy petition and pass the message on. It is now over 90,000, another 10,000 and will really annoy Labour and it's red lines. Brexit was a fraud, we are worse off. Not moving on.

Good morning BlueSky eastangliabylines.co.uk/democracy/is...

I wish you a lot of success, because you resist Trump and his Republican mafia! Let's forge an alliance with our European #FBPE movement, for we are fighting Trump and the #GOP since 2019, and closely cooperate with the American resistance. We will defend Canada too. 🙏👊 #DefendDemocracy #BanX

Who knew that electing a criminal who dances to the tune of foreign agents would be a bad idea? 🤪

@elliechowns.bsky.social MP has written an op-ed for the @bylinetimes.bsky.social regarding Trump's comments yesterday. Have a read ⤵️

MAKE IT HAPPEN!! If, like me, you are not in a good place about any of this and can't live with this threat to our food/meds just sign/share this petition. Day 133 of asking for it. #RejoinEU133 Check email when you've signed! #RejoinEU #Brexit #Breturn petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Today's announcement is straight out of an authoritarian playbook. How can the government claim an electoral mandate for major changes while simultaneously cancelling elections for those most affected?

🗳️❌Democracy Cancelled: CONFIRMED: Labour Government cancels 2025 elections in: Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Thurrock, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, and Isle of Wight. #LE25 #Elections #Democracy

The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.

Getting closer! 😍 Come on, let's smash it to 100k and then use the spare time to push it as far as possible! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

The outcome of this case will affect every one of us but is barely getting a mention in UK media. Why? Peaceful protest is a fundemental democratic right. The decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s important case is due any time now. This is why I’m standing with them👇 youtu.be/qk5aiRXRuU0?...

Zack Polanski, "Austerity was always the problem, not the European Union" "If we want to solve the problems in this country right now we need to tackle inequality" Kay Burley, "How?" Zack Polanski, "Wealth tax.. Inequality in the country.. People are unhappy and our services are broken"

One for the supporters of @reform-uk-official.bsky.social to read. Nigel Farage, you were hugely responsible for Brexit. It has failed. It failed because it was based on lies and misinformation. It failed because there was no plan to implement it. It's time to hold these liars to account.

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Petition needs just 850 signatures to hit 80,000! At the start of the week this was 68,000. This is the most momentum the petition has had to date. You can sign below. Please share too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... youtu.be/mwqfrhsuU4c?... @brexitrage.bsky.social

Wow! Now, at just over 74,000 signatures. Forget Monday morning, we could make 75,000 by Saturday morning. Maybe we could get to 80,000 by Monday morning. Please share & repost.

Over 70,000 signatures now. I wonder if we can make it to 75,000 by Monday morning?
