An American hero, standing up to the injustice and terror in Minneapolis

Disagree. The timing of Burnham’s proposed resignation and standing for parliament is not in Labour’s or the UK interest. We are faced with many external problems, and Starmer is our best option to counter them. Burnham would not have the ability to take up these challenges now.

Trump’s attempts to keep the protests going will only increase the deaths and suffering of the Iranian people. If he wants to make a difference, as opposed to just posturing, he has to commit to military action against the Republican Guard. Has he got the balls for this?

β€œfairly sure” is not a demonstration of confidence. Neither is β€œa few bad things”. Make your point, offer evidence, or just keep quiet

🚨 Trump’s tariffs are an attack on British businesses, we will not be bullied. We will boycott all US goods, including holidays, Teslas, Macdonalds and anything else with a US connection.

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Donald Trump sparked outrage worldwide with his shocking display of bullying at Friday's Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 145,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Note to Trump: you don’t win the Nobel Peace prize by siding with the aggressor and blaming the victim

Is Trump a planted Putin puppet? He’s certainly behaving like it

β€˜This is a coup’: Trump and Musk’s purge is cutting more than costs, say experts In slashing staff and disabling entire agencies the administration is lacerating the structures of US democracy

A coup is in progress in USA, and Americans are impotently standing around while it happens. Just like the Germans did with Hitler, and we all know how that turned out.

If you bother to look, Mr Vance, you would find Russian influence got you and your boss elected. Of course the rest of us want to avoid Russia’s malign influence, but not you, who benefitted from it

Is it time for the UN to vacate New York and relocate to, say, Switzerland? And while the rest of us watch the USA walk away from its allies and post WW2 obligations, should it, and Russia, lose their Security Council veto rights?

Thank you for this thread. I wonder how long it will take Trump supporters to realise that making America Great (Again) is exactly what his actions to alienate European allies and do deals with Putin won’t deliver? Other actors, possibly malign, will fill the vacuum

Today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, apparently. Made even more grim this year by the inauguration of the Orange Oaf. Hold tight, everyone!

Clean energy pioneer’s lab destroyed in suspected arson attack in Liverpool Luke Evans, whose work has been called β€˜breathtakingly new’, says he has lost experimental data and all equipment

Anyone know how we can support the recovery of Luke’s important work via crowdfunding?

Badenoch is incapable of making reasonable arguments. Instead she makes inflammatory statements intended only to energise the Right Wing base. No responsible politician would do this, she is a viper dressed in a grass snake’s skin

The polling numbers just show what a toxic bunch of right wing nutters inhabit the X-Twitter space. I wonder what numbers the same poll on here would reveal?

I think the best option is to just wait and watch Musk self-destruct. If the MSM didn’t give him so much attention, that could be quite soon.

I’m posting this chicken biryani as, although the recipe specifies uncooked chicken, if you read to the bottom of the introduction, you will find instructions for making it with leftover roast turkey! And it’s glorious, I have to say www.nigella.com/recipes/chic...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

β€œWe need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

So Assad ends up in Moscow. Will that place him outside the reach of the ICC? Another reason for Putin to be defeated. A real alliance of evil

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies? We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going

Boris Johnson promised farmers that β€œsubsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.

🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of β€œRemain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

No, if an election were to be called just because some of the electorate aren’t happy, stable government would be impossible. Anyway, who knows what diverse alternatives the complainers would vote for?
