Starmer, stop chasing Reform rainbows and remember who got you to where you are. That mandate is shallow and shaky. Time is ticking and it’s later than you think. eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/sho...

China giving the Bully a taste of his own medicine www.ft.com/content/3e07...

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Privatisation is the fundamental reason why water is in crisis. The only other country with fully privatised water is Chile. We’re a global outlier, clinging to a failed Ponzi scheme while our rivers choke and bills rise. It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

This is SO tedious! Yes, Labour, we know you’re signed up to the Brexit dogma. That’s why you’ll lose votes with many former “Remainers” whilst you chase former “Brexiter” now Reform voters. Not sure that’ll work out well for you. Time will tell… www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

"I don’t think any of us can presume to know what the position of the White House will be six days from now, let alone six months from now. By contrast – what is certain is that the EU will remain the UK’s largest trading partner." @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social 👏

The only person relitigating “past arguements” is Starmer. The world has changed and he’d sooner become a vassal state of the Trump oligarchy than be a sovereign state amongst others within the EU! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When is Starmer going to wake up and recognise that the world has changed and his red lines, which have always been foolish, are now just utter madness? sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/why...

Facts: You harassed the victim to capitulate to the aggressor. When he declined - you blamed him. You gave Putin all he wanted and more with nothing valuable in return From “finishing the war in 24h” you went to begging on Truth Social. You had the cards, you gave them away. Respectfully.

Trump’s America is no longer an ally apple.news/Ah0uDhnjnSaW...

The US position on Ukraine reveals precisely who Trump is. He is a person who panders to the purveyors of violence, to which he thinks the victims must acquiesce. Why, precisely, do we want to deal with these people? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Labour MP @labourlewis.bsky.social : "It's our biggest trading partner, the EU. It's right on our doorstep. Culturally, we're far more aligned with it... That is where we should be placing most of our efforts." 100%. The UK government must prioritise our trading relationship with the EU.

Despite there being mounting evidence of Brexit being a monumental exercise only in self-harm… We continue down this ridiculous road because politicians are too scared to re-open the debate.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The IEA is denying that they ever backed Brexit!!! Me vs Reem Ibrahim on BBC5Live The Institute of Economic Affairs can see the public has turned against Brexit so much that they're re-writing history to avoid the blame!

History always has a lesson.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Meiselas: The public pressure was mounting. A 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court. Your voice matters. Senator Van Hollen showing up matters. The Trump regime can mock and post all the memes they want, but at the end of the day, the right result is finally starting to happen.

I hope Staremer is listening! Don’t become a vassal state subject to the whims of the orange “King” and his Oligarch barons. Be a sovereign state amongst other equal sovereign states in the EU or as close to it as possible! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Just a reminder, as Starmer mulls over whether to become 1 of Trump’s “ass kissers” or not, of the damage Brexshit caused the UK (an equal sovereign state with others in the EU) without any real benefits. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/regular-feat...

“Free Speach”… hmmm 🤔 www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...

This from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

It’s all a matter of angles. And from this angle, it makes total sense. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇮🇸🇬🇧🇳🇴—-> 🇪🇺 🙌

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

What a cruel, nasty little country Hungary is….. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Make it make sense

So, if we call it “youth opportunity scheme” instead of “youth mobility scheme”, then Brexiters might not have a wettie about it and govt can relax. Honest to god. When did we get so petty and pathetic? Oh yes. 2016. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.
