What! No lashings of ginger beer?
For the avoidance of doubt:
I approve of Starmer standing up to Trump.
I'm happy for Starmer to put distance between him and Trump. I quite realise diplomacy is essential, but the US is now a liability and distance is good.
Come on #Labour supporters… do the right thing & vote tactically to keep out Reform!
If the boot were on the other foot, I honestly believe the @greenparty.org.uk followers would vote for you, if they were in 3rd place & unlikely to win.
Know your enemy.
Unite for what’s right! ✊

Declaring that a Reform government would scrap new employment rights for workers and scrap reforms which benefit renters feels like a helluva gamble two days before a huge by-election.
We'll find out in the early hours of Friday morning, I guess.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.
457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.
Also, this story illustrates a fundamental truth: Trump's opinions are shaped by the last person he spoke to
Once again after an hour long racist rant full of lies by the US president the Times writes another of its “ say what you like about Trump but…’ editorials. If the paper ever had a moral compass it’s lost it
🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures!
The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.
Let’s keep going!

And it is hugely appreciated that you came way out West. Thank you for a brilliant evening.
I don't have the stomach to watch, so will wait for the analysis. (Choosing carefully whose analysis to watch.)
This is a shameful press conference, a rambling lying Trump running down his predecessor, egged on by a clutch of craven so- called journalists from both sides of the Atlantic
Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.
Keir Starmer has an opportunity to claw back some reputation this week, by standing up to Trump. Don't be rude. Don't be aggressive, but if the orange lump starts criticising the UK then you have to show some back bone and tell him to back off and shut up. Get his own house in order!
Nine years on from the Brexit referendum, heres' a quick reminder of how it was sold to us
Baron Trump off to the podiatrist first thing this morning.

And it doesn't matter how much beef you send over. We won't be buying it. We produce plenty of high quality, high welfare beef on these islands.
Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights
That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.
THIS IS WHY

Historian Sir Anthony Seldon says America is "losing its moral authority" under President Trump.
