Millicent

It is my sincere hope that this will succeed. The conservatives amongst us need a party to believe in. Coupled with PR. There is a place for Reform and for Your Party, but the a vast majority is from the centre: the LibDems, Labour, Conservatives and Greens centre

She needs to defect to the far right, where she belongs, to allow the real conservatives to reclaim their party. Thoughts?

Hey can we also pause and unpack what “quotas” means

Trump pulled the US out of the World Health Organisation yesterday.

In response California has become the first state to join the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.

If this is the start of a pattern Americans will only be safe in Blue states.

Another sign of US Weakness as it retreats from the world stage. Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are establishing a defence pact which could spread to other countries in the region.

You’re starting to see rival power blocs forming everywhere.

In connection with her recent death, today I learned more about the life of a 90 year old trans friend of mine. I was reminded of the great injustices our society has done to trans people over the last century. That ends with me. I am firmly fighting their corner 🏳️‍⚧️

It is often said that Trump is transactional. That is no longer quite right. He is not interested in transacting; he is interested in taking and accumulating: power, land, and riches. [...] Trump wants it because Trump wants it...

Failing to hold Farage accountable is exactly the path that led to Trump in the US. There has to be accountability *early* or there's no stopping the runaway train.

“Trump’s apologists — a more numerous crowd than true believers — work round the clock to sane-wash his policies into something coherent. Alas, Trump’s caprice makes it impossible for his explainers to keep pace…

…Trump serially exceeds the worst forecasts of what he will do.”

The USA is taking all possible steps to alienate its allies and isolating itself internationally

Trump says US ‘shouldn’t even have an election’ in 2026 Trump expressed frustration that his party could lose the House or Senate in the upcoming midterms

When are people going to learn that Trump doesn't "joke"? He says something, it gets defended as "being a joke" and then he does it.
If he cancels the midterms then any arguments that he isn't a dictator are completely out of the window.

First, we take Manhattan

As far as I'm concerned, a trans woman is a biological woman. Go on, fight me.

The thing about Europe: it’s the actual land of the free now Europe’s very real problems don’t look so bad by comparison

My eldest is 7. She was born in London, a citizen of the EU. America was the dependable leader of the free world. Times have changed

My anger with Trump and those who voted him in is now being rivalled by my empathy with all the deeply honourable and dignified Americans suffering the humiliation of having him as their leader

Trump’s incoherent trade policy will do lasting damage Even after his backtracking, the president has done profound harm to the world economy

Trump has replaced the stable trading relations which America spent over half a century building with whimsical and arbitrary policymaking, in which decisions are posted on social media and not even his advisers know what is coming next.

Trump takes America’s trade policies back to the 19th century The president jacks up tariffs on all countries, with particularly sharp rises for much of Asia

In case any doubt about how Europe feels:

- everyone hates Trump
- we detest Vance even more
- this includes everyone in Greenland
- nobody has any wish to become American and live under a fascist dictatorship. We prefer free healthcare, cheap eggs - and not being ruled by convicted criminals

They do indeed. Good for him. The sad thing is that people who bought Teslas in the past were pioneering environmentalists. Now anyone buying one is stating support for fascism. Hard to comprehend how much times have changed

There's also an increasing gap in the car market left by Tesla having become toxic

This is a totally unnecessary and avoidable fiasco singlehandedly created by the Trump administration

It's crazy to think MAGA, so famously anti-commie, patriotic and gas-guzzlingly anti-woke, are now siding with Russia, unconcerned by the treatment of war veterans and cheering on an electric vehicle...

Canada tariffs updates: White House halts plan to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium US President Donald Trump had threatened to increase 25% tariffs on certain Canadian metals to 50%.

The American administration is an absolute joke. This man is so weak and feeble he's failing even in his flagship policy www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

My social media bubble tells me that Trump's America is imploding. Musk and Vance are broadly discredited and Republicans don't support Putin. How can I see outside my bubble?

SpaceX? Rockets exploding.
X? Falling to cyberattacks.
Tesla? Stock down 50% since Trump’s inauguration.

And MAGA’s plan? Hand him the government. Because nothing says stable leadership like a guy who can’t even keep his own companies from crashing—literally.

Ukraine latest: Trump says Zelenskyy disrespected US and can come back when he's ready for peace - as news conference cancelled Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump have argued in a heated meeting in front of the cameras in the White House's Oval Office. The Ukrainian later left, without signing a deal as planned. Watch 10 min...

There can be no doubt now that Trump's a Russian asset bought and paid for by Putin.

The UK needs to stand 100% with Ukraine against both of them. #EuropeUnited 🇪🇺

What can anyone say after this afternoon's shit show at the White House, except SLAVA UKRAINI!

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."
