We're now living in a retirement community dictatorship. Trump's making war from his Florida vacation home absent compliance with the Constitution or an effort explain his war of choice to the American people. Trump may pay a huge political price for such an illegal, and casual, use of our military.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Congratulations Hannah, and Green Party.

Hope & decency wins through. Reform’s candidate, and policies of hate, do not win.

Starmer needs to go, and the party needs to find itself again, which it can’t under his flawed leadership.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.

On Thursday help us make hope normal again.

Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion.

It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections.

These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.

Be warned.

Jake Richards: “Let’s be very clear that Jim Ratcliffe .. got his facts wrong. There’s also something that I find quite offensive, that this man who moved to Monaco to save £4 billion in tax is now lecturing us about immigration. There’s something that I find slightly hypocritical about that.”

As Labour descends into the type of psychodrama we suffered under the Tories for years, it’s clear the gulf between public expectation and what any govt can deliver makes U.K. effectively ungovernable. And has been since Brexit. It’ll take more than wishful thinking to dig us out of this.

Yes, now we need a PM strong enough to make the case, both with the EU & UK public to enable us to rejoin the EEA & Schengen Area and then integrate fully.

With McSweeney gone Starmer might but I doubt it.

It really does ….

If so, he’s just appointing his gravediggers.

Starmer really doesn’t get it, does he? I guess he’ll stagger on until after May, mainly because no-one else wants to step in now to inherit his disastrous legacy.

fresh leadership needed

We owe it to Epstein’s victims and to British democracy to demand historic change | Gordon Brown The abuse of women by figures such as Epstein, and of political power by the likes of Mandelson, must be confronted. As far as I am able, I will play my part, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brow...

All that Gordon suggests needs to be done, urgently. My only disagreement is that Starmer is the person to do it.

We need strong fresh leadership.

🚨🚨1000 % this. "What the fuck is this....? The paedophile's ball??" 👇👇 #epsteinfiles #princeandrew #woodyallen

REJOIN THE EU. We were told many lies about leaving the EU especially by the likes of Farage and Johnson, it time for us to look at rejoining, not just for trade but to show we value our European neighbours and to fight against powerful forces which are trying to destroy Europe as we know it.

Be warned.

#Farage wants a #UK version of #ICE. All that is happening in the #US, will be happening here too.

Voting for #Reform is not only utterly stupid, it's dangerous too.

Don't vote for the #FarRight.

When can we expect some leadership like this from the UK Government? cc @ruthjoneslabour.bsky.social

Mcsweeney lobbied for Mandelson.. Starmer was open minded about Mandelson or Osborne completely ignoring the excellent work of the incumbent Karen Pierce who had built up an excellent reputation and contacts..

Mandelson’s links with US tech firm Palantir must be fully exposed, campaigners warn Government faces call for transparency on former peer’s involvement amid fears he may have leaked more sensitive information

“Mandelson’s involvement with the US tech company Palantir must be exposed to full public transparency…Palantir…has UK government contracts worth more than £500m. Global Counsel, a lobbying company Mandelson co-founded and part-owns, also works for Palantir.”
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When Starmer says Mandelson 'misrepresented' his friendship w/ Epstein, he's missing the point: the mere fact of ANY relationship w/ Epstein should have disqualified him for the job.

Mind boggling that he didn't see that. It's Johnson/ Truss level arrogance & stupidity.

Very wise. I'd like to think Starmer has launched a similar probe 🤔

“The prime minister regards it as ridiculous that a peerage cannot be removed except with primary legislation, something that has not happened since 1917. He thinks that in no other walk of life are you unsackable unless a law is passed.”

So, maybe abolish the House of Lords, as pledged? 🤔🙄🤷🏻‍♂️

WHAT?!!!
Who wanted Mandelson in the government?
McSweeney
Who persuaded Starmer to have him?
You know the answer.

Brexit 🫠🫠🫠

This is brilliant! 😅😂🤣

"UK citizens to be able to travel to China visa-free, Starmer announces in Beijing"

Whoopdi-doo. I'd rather be able to live and work in Europe, visa free, just like in those olden days, before grifters fucked it up for us all.

EU, don’t deport people to unsafe countries! Europe could soon adopt a dangerous policy. People would be deported to countries they’ve never been to - without a fair hearing. Add your voice and tell EU leaders: protect the right to asylum!

People fleeing war deserve safety, not forced deportations. Tell EU to reject the dangerous, inhumane law that would put people at risk: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-01...
