Jeez. The Trump administration is “looking at” ways to suspend habeas corpus, a Constitutional right that allows a person to challenge government detention, as a way to assist President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda Heaven help America www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

NHS planning to cut doctors/nurses jobs, maternity and A&E services to meet the govt's “eye watering” NHS savings. Cuts will force more people to go private. Healthcare must come before fiscal rules. Private firms milking 30%-40% profit from NHS contracts. End privatisation. Tax the rich.

Brexit led to 1,500 deaths a year as EU nurses left UK. Replaced by less experienced or skilled staff, which had a knock-on effect for patients. Brexit has done immense harm. No impact assessment was provided. Farage/Reform still doing the same with their nationalist rhetoric.

THE TRADE DEAL THAT ISN’T! This is a tariff reduction agreement. It softens bully Trump’s tariffs. Trump tariffs have not gone away. Trade with the US is still likely to fall. Rejoin the SM & CU and we’d save £100bn, trade would mushroom and GDP wouldn’t reduce by 5%! #Labour

Until Labour MPs opposed to the disability cuts, threaten to defect and indicate this in mass. Any words spoken by those that opposed will mean nothing to the ignorant front bench.

Rhys James Machin is Reform UK's councillor for #Audley & #Chesterton in #Staffordshire. He doesn't follow too many people, but among them is Paul Golding, leader of Britain First. He's also not posted much, but of it he clearly supports Tommy Robinson and has some pretty far-right views.

UK Labour govt says it will not reverse cuts to winter fuel payments. Hopes dashed. Marching headlong off the electoral cliff is not a smart strategy. Labour needs to lift up the bottom 50%, that will stimulate the economy, make less demands on welfare and public services.

Farage is a Fascist. The public now need to call him and his party Fascists. Because that's what Reform is. They hate migrants and immigrants. They peddle populist , Trumpian tropes. It should be our civil duty now to call them out for what they are. And stop them getting in Government. 👇👇👇👇

Child poverty in the UK. A young child hospitalised with malnutrition leading to the loss of all her teeth. Years of austerity, real wage cuts, profiteering, two child benefit cap, cuts to public services take toll. Govts appease the rich, blight lives of many. archive.ph/IwH73

Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party officially classified as an "extremist" organisation - promoting hatred of minorities, threat to democracy. Nigel Farage backed and campaigned for AfD. Spoke alongside a politician who once said police should be able to shoot at refugees.

New Reform mayor Andrea Jenkyns vows to sack county council’s diversity officers - except there aren’t any. Farage and Reform are importing Trumpism and US style closures, leaving unfair practices to flourish. Join a union and local citizens groups to resist.

Reform/Farage want "a Doge in every county". Trumpism unleashed. After 15 years of real cuts to local council budgets Farage will cut public spending, force further privatisations. Those who can't pay... End investment in renewable energy. Silence on social/economic consequences.

How many people who still think Brexit is a good idea voted for Labour in last Thursday's local elections? One? Two? Let's be generous and say three. Would it really be so bad to lose their votes but potentially attract an avalanche of others by taking clear overt steps towards rejoining the EU?

Tin eared response from Labour spokespeople to election results so far. Labour supporters feel Labour, their party, has turned its back on them citing Winter Fuel Allowance, NI tax on jobs & threat of disability cuts. Message to ministers is drop the plans to attack disabled.

If the two main parties are styled 'Old school Tory' and 'Bonkers mad Tory', I guess in the present world climate it's no surprise that the 'Extreme Fascist Tory' candidate gets elected. 'Manofthepeople' Farage earned £1m from other 'jobs' in the last 10 months. #Reformcrooks #ReformAreNazis

UK vets could face price caps on medicines, prescriptions and other services. Long overdue. The entry of private equity (PE) and big corporations resulted in profiteering. Need to break the business model of PE. End tax relief on interest payments. Regulate PE.
