The sheer barefaced dishonesty of a regime that is snatching people off the streets for their speech; painting over testimonials to women & minorities in US history; subjugating universities & trying to crush research into subjects it dislikes, standing as a champion of "free speech" is staggering.
Farage never bothered to turn up when UK fishing rights were being discussed. He never turned up in the EU parliament - yet he did vote against an EU clamp down on Russian propaganda.
Working against the interests of our nation.
RIP, Norm.
Brexit has given us:
🔥 Lower GDP
🔥 Worse services
🔥 Higher immigration
🔥 More austerity
🔥 More red tape
🔥 Higher prices
🔥 Fewer freedoms
🔥 Staff shortages
🔥 Worse for farmers
🔥 Worse for fishermen
🔥 Less food security
🔥 Less sovereignty
🔥 More division
🔥 More hate
🔥 A border in the Irish Sea
This reminds me so much of the stars who must have made similar speeches in the 1930s to warn against what was happening in Nazi Germany. But unlike now, they didn't have social media. Bruce is right! We must join together in a union of decent people. No state visits! No more normalisation of evil!
Is the American military taking a stand? Some are.

We are all Bruce Springsteen today.
You voted in a bunch of criminals
We were there and yes he opened with that statement to rapturous applause from the audience 👌
Our relationship with the EU has to be about far more than trade. It also has to be about culture, education, science, agriculture, climate change, biodiversity, travel, security, relationships, families, dreams. Why should a parcel or a packet of peas have more freedom of movement than a person?

We reiterate our support to Ukraine’s agreement to a ceasefire.

This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny
Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
He was being told his own soldiers were fleeing the battlefield and he was forcing them to fight. How would it have looked back home if he had let that go unchallenged?
For Betty Campbell. Wales first ever black headteacher. What a wonderful tribute in Cardiff city centre.
In support of Ukraine. Cardiff city centre yesterday afternoon.👌
Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk.
Don’t let anyone forget it.
Came across this interesting headstone in Divisional CWG cemetery just outside Ypres this morning. Two brothers ages 23 and 17 respectively and only sons of their late father also a military man, Colonel W J Beninfield.
