Trump says 'very dangerous' for UK to do business with China as Starmer lands in Shanghai www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So it’s ok for HIM to go to China in April but not for our country to engage. I am sick of this fool.

Whilst two wrongs don’t make a right and Trump is right to call Iran out, the sight of the man whose forces murdered a woman in full view of the world lecturing others on peaceful protest is a bit hard to bear. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

Badenoch. One word in her budget response: Deluded.

When you see what what the BBC is doing for Children In Need tonight the mindset of the grasping, venal Donald Trump is set into a stark context. I watched live as POTUS incited violence on Jan 6th 2020. The BBC made an editorial mistake but the essence of what Trump was doing was not exaggerated.

When you are arresting people in their middle years and over 500 of them in one sitting you have to question the wisdom of your policy. If the policy is right then you have to carry hearts and minds. It is sad that our government seems incapable of doing so. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social risks losing all credibility over Palestine Action. She says it is not non-violent and she may well be correct since we don’t have all her data. But given the scenes in Westminster today it is essential that the government communicates the reality she asserts.

MP Rupert Lowe displays a superb example of confirmation bias. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"As someone who used to visit the Scottish Islands regularly, and a member of several local online groups, I see a growing anti-campervan sentiment. Locals call motorhomers who park in scenic places “freeloaders” and openly discuss harassing them"

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social why does the BBC keep referring to Reform UK as a political party? Call it what it is - a company with Farage and Tice as directors. In the interests of impartiality the true nature of Reform needs to be called out day after day.

Here we go! We are going to reform everything….. but er…..don’t hold us to any timescales and don’t ask us what we will do. In the meantime we will cancel essential council meetings so government effectively is on hold until we deem it necessary. Life under Reform. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Brexiters are the past now. They must be left there, for the good of the country inews.co.uk/opinion/cant...

The polls are loud and clear! 66% of Britons support Britain having a closer relationship with the EU, with merely 12% in opposition to it. You wouldn't know it if you listened to the mainstream media's coverage of the #Brexit reset deal!

Quite right too. If you voted Brexit you got what you wanted.

Now we know what they really think! And it’s as bad as we suspected. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Fascinating (and damning) that the Times of India is reporting the Brexit truths the UK press won’t. The cost to UK businesses is staggering—but our politicians and media stay silent. Why is foreign press doing their job for them? #BrexitReality timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/the...

To anyone who voted Brexit I sincerely hope that when you or your relatives are ill they can obtain the medicine they need.

Morning! I threw this together for your enjoyment. Give it a look. youtu.be/dxTlb_cHjQo

Listening to the ignorant and puerile comments of JD Vance is so depressing. Article 5 invoked once in NATO history, ironically to defend the USA. And of course they cut and ran in the end, leaving Afghans to a terrible fate. The ingratitude of the ingrate.

It seems that we now have American politicians demanding the removal of an elected president, Zelenskyy. What a state of affairs. Never thought I’d see the US become so unreliable.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Great analysis in today’s @theguardian.com

Liz Truss tells CPAC UK is ‘failing’ and needs Maga-style movement to save it. She’s nuts. She cannot see the damage she inflicted. Typical populist. Blame someone else for your woes and appeal to simplistic solutions as an answer for your own uselessness.

"It is time to recognise who our friends are". www.theneweuropean.co.uk/brexits-fail...

Are we seeing common sense finally emerging ? I do hope so for the sake of our country and the future of my grandchildren. #brexitdisaster www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Makes me so cross this. If it’s good enough for young people why is not good enough for me? You cannot expect our youth to give up that mobility so the demands for rejoin will grow but I find it all very ageist. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

@brucedaisley.com former Twitter/X exec has it right when he says “If I went out to a Christmas market, and if in the corner of this Christmas market there was a group of racist protesters, I probably wouldn’t stay there.” www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

Never forget that this is the kind of system Farage advocates. I wonder why 🤔 Killing of insurance CEO reveals simmering anger at US health system www.bbc.com/news/article...

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t” westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

@alextaylornews.bsky.social yay! Good to see you here!

Just joined from X - this already feels cathartic!
