Canada is not the problem

You know what?

The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico.

Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

If God saved Trump from the bullet, who put the shooter on the roof? I've never understood this.

The Brexit liars love to separate the EU up into its various member states instead of counting them as the Single Market that they are. It's like dividing the USA into its different states. Ridiculously dishonest!

The billionaires lining up to plunder America, and the whole world if they have their way.

Turns out a lying half-insane insomniac ketamine freak isn't actually a very reliable ally. Who knew.

UK’s newest warrior against grooming gangs

A graphic from a phone notes app. The header reads "Statement on X/Twitter". The body reads: I have today decided to delete my Twitter/X account – It can no longer pretend to be anything other than a danger and harm to our democracy, and I would urge others to do the same. I’ve always valued social media as a way to connect directly with people — sharing information, listening to different views, and engaging with communities. Platforms like Twitter have in the past played an important role in allowing MPs to stay accessible, promote transparency, and ensure the concerns of the public are heard loud and clear. Unfortunately, since Elon Musk’s takeover, Twitter/X has become a deeply toxic space that no longer serves those purposes. His actions—spreading conspiracy theories and enabling the spread of disinformation — pose a real danger to democracy and public trust. The blatant promotion of dangerous narratives, including efforts to undermine legitimately elected governments, has become intolerable. Twitter/X has shifted from being a platform for open discussion to a tool for manipulation and division.

The same style graphic as previous, with the text continuing as follows: Musk’s interference in how information is shared — by pushing certain voices forward, reinstating and personally sharing content from accounts that promote hate, while sidelining other voices — has destroyed the neutrality needed for honest, fair public debate. Instead of fostering transparency, Twitter/X is now a platform that actively undermines the values I believe are crucial for democracy. I cannot continue to use a platform that has become so harmful. After long consideration I have therefore deleted my Twitter/X account. I’ll continue to find other ways to engage with constituents and communities, and I hope this decision highlights just how urgent it is to push back against the spread of disinformation and the misuse of social media platforms. We need digital spaces that support truth, democracy, and fairness—not ones that tear them down. This is followed by a signature, and then the author's details - Kevin McKenna MP, Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey.

I have deleted my X/Twitter account. I urge others to do the same.

It can no longer pretend to be anything other than a danger and harm to our democracy. My full statement is below:

I think I just came.

Leader of the free world ...

The irony meter is permanently broken now.

Richard Tice, whose Reform Party may be about to be funded by Elon Musk, condemning interference in British politics by foreign billionaires

Never trust the general public to make important decisions.

Your regular reminder that Hartley-Brewer choses the life of a serial tax fraud, alleged rapist and human trafficker Every. Single. Time......

(Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

'work with a guy who was unemployed.'

Farage says Reform UK MP who repeatedly kicked girlfriend deserves 'Christian forgiveness'

maybe if that person who milkshaked Farage had just kicked him repeatedly he’d be happier

Tweet from nigel farage saying we now live in a country where you can attack an mp and not go to prison. Above GBNews article about milkshake attacker getting suspended sentence.

Dear Nigel:
a) you weren't an MP when this happened
b) sentencing reflects factors like the severity of injuries caused - ie none
c) it was a MILKSHAKE you big cry-baby

Jeremy Vine commenting on the Jacob Rees-Mogg reality show, "It's brilliant, isn't it"

Marina Purkiss, "No it's not.. I'm so sick of the media, whether it's that, or I'm a Celeb, sanitising people who harmed the country"

Well said 👏

Huge thanks to everyone who’s chipped in to make LBD interventions happen this year. We’re 100% funded by small donations & refuse big donors to protect us from becoming reliant on any individual source. Wanna help? Link in bio👆

Just told my girlfriend, "I usually only eat the vowels in alphabeti spaghetti."

"Why?"

"Sometimes."

The older I get, the more I wonder at those who capture the blunt, angry numbness of grief. Not just the sorrow; the emptiness, the rage. The tiring, tedious business of running on the spot.

I wish Brian comfort, and only hope he knows how many people his words will reach, and help.
