If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

In a functioning democracy with a decent press, these would be wall-to-wall headlines:

But she's a woman and working class and, plainly, not content with "her lot". Remember the furore about her going to the opera?
Rayner is where sexism and class prejudice intersect. If she ever came out as bi, the Telegraph front page would be a black box with a red "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" on it.

And you never should have done so.
Next steps that should already be underway:

- Tax net wealth over ยฃ10 million
Itโs not radical. Itโs overdue. Just get it done.
Trumpโs $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., itโll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

Makes perfect sense. And also-
1) It protects us from Trump-like behaviour with his own citizens
2) It underpins our criminal data-sharing with Europe.
Leave ECHR and weโd become a haven for criminals.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizรกndola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PรDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pรญdeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a รกreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
