This man should not ever have “all the levers.”

A message from our CEO Emma Harrison to mark yesterday's anniversary of the general election: "Things are changing. 60% of us want to move away from the winner-takes-all First Past the Post system." Together, we can win real democracy in which voice is heard. #PRnow

Starmer's language was deplorable. It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy. But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

If this isn't a bribe, we don't know what is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiGD...

Brilliant to see this from @carladenyer.bsky.social Her bill must also ensure that net zero transition is science based - &that means removing fossil fuel based carbon capture from UK climate plans - see more tinyurl.com/CCS-CAMPAIGN www.theguardian.com/politics/202... @adrianramsay.bsky.social

This is a lawless administration with a lawless Insurrectionist at the top. The Constitution has a remedy for this attack on our republic: the Impeachment Clause. Members of Congress must invoke it. www.impeachtrumpagain.org @fsfp.bsky.social

He's right. Musk's DOGE has killed 1000s of children so far, and it will be at least 10000s by the end of Trump's term.

Trump, "I'm in favour of crypto" Journalist, "What do you say to those who say you're profiting from the Presidency?" President Trump, "I'm not profiting from anything" "I started this long before the election" Grok: "$TRUMP launched on Jan 17, 2025, days before his inauguration on Jan 20, 2025"

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

This sums the whole situation up quite nicely.

Walz: I do want to give a huge shout out to our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

This part

💥📊 NEW POLL: Over HALF of Brits think a closer relationship with the EU will have a positive impact on our economic growth. Our research backs this up too - deep alignment on goods and services with the EU could grow the economy by up to 1.5%, even with Trump’s tariffs.

MTG to be investigated for insider trading. SMITE!!

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, "Reciprocal tariffs would be 0% not 10%" "This s not the act of a friend" "American people will pay the biggest price on these tariffs"

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Nobody should travel to the US while ICE goons are on the rampage with impunity. Whatever rights you think you have, forget it.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

This reminds me of Brexit and “blue passports”

If the UK had still been part of the EU then... A) The EU tariff would have been 16%-17% not 20% based on Trump's formula B) The UK would also have been subject to that 16%-17% tariff but crucially our trade would have remained MUCH higher (Brexit has hurt us much more than the tariff difference!)

👏

“Mike Galsworthy said: "The Brexit red lines are utterly obsolete. Everyone knows it and these data show, yet again, that the people of this country care much about the economy than self-flagellating with three self-imposed red lines following a referendum on a different question nine years ago."”

Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?" Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP" "Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%" "And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"
