By imitating Reform Labour are helping Farage and are leading us towards disaster. The Tories have been aping Reform and look where it has got them. If you amplify Farage's message, your target audience will vote for the real Farage rather than a pale copy. bylinetimes.com/2025/04/14/w...

Arron Banks is standing for West of England mayor. We need to ask about his visits to the Russian embassy and his tweets parroting Russian propaganda. Who is Banks loyal to, the UK or Putin? Fight Fascism. Vote for democracy in the local elections. #Vote4Democracy

The worry is that decent folk angry with Labour sit on their sofas and while Reform supporters vote, leading to the local elections being trumpeted as Farageist triumph and our politics being pushed even further to the right. Don't let that happen. Campaign for the biggest possible #Vote4Democracy

Local elections are now about the survival of democracy, freedom, human rights, and basic human decency. Local elections are coming up in England. We must get out and #Vote4Democracy, not sit on our sofas, and then wail pathetically because Farage has triumphed. Abstention helps the fascists.

In Finland, the radical right's vote has halved in the latest municipal elections. We can in the UK can knock the wheels off Farage's bandwagon by getting off our sofas and voting in the local elections. In low turnout elections, the act of voting can make a big difference. #Vote4Democracy

As almost always, it turns out to be the natives who are most prone to crime, not the immigrants. The demonisation of migrants is the tactic of politicians who have nothing to offer but their own insatiable greed and lust for power. They know fear of the other is a great political motivator.

Everything Trump has done so far is consistent with his being a Russian asset working to weaken and destroy the USA and Western democracy. There is zero evidence to the contrary. #Krasnov

Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse refused entry to Hong Kong. We were promised great Brexit trade deals with the USA, China, and Russia. The USA is now an unstable banana republic. China is paranoid about democracy, and Russia has invaded Ukraine. Brexit is lunacy. #RejoinEU www.bbc.com/news/article...
