Why are Tories not being hauled over the coals about this.

They said 350m could be saved and given to NHS.

They didn't say how much the country would lose from lost trade, lost investment, lost EU grants, EU funding, lost knowledge (eg on sharing crime data)

Yet Labour getting trolled at budget.

That’s it in a nutshell! Why is it so hard to reach that consensus regarding the the reversal of Brexit.

The fall of a republic "As a regular visitor to the US over the last thirty years and just back from the States I am getting a definite feeling that something is brewing"

"Historians will be working around the clock trying to understand how the Republican Party, in a few short years, got to the point where their loyalty is to one person and not the constitution."

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

When someone behaves and acts like an utter cunt, and we, as a society, exclude them - this is not discrimination, it is our way of making them understand that acting like a cunt is unacceptable.

I’m talking about 🫵 Yaxley-Lennon

Keir Starmer can’t build a stronger European partnership by stealth. He has to declare it aloud | Rafael Behr Britain has ‘reset’ relations with the EU, but with Farage ascendant again, our politics must be cured of the Brexit virus, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit.

It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship.

Utter chaos, I get why these exemptions make sense but the 1000s of everyday items that will still be imported with tariffs will impact the lower wage demographic and small businesses.

Yes!🤣🤣🤣

Insider trading much? Didn’t Martha Stewart go to prison for that? Just curious 🤔

Good morning all!

Sounds like a plan

List of shame, wake up people! We are a divided nation and we’ve endured so much pain thanks to this lot!

While I see all your conspiracy theories I regret to inform you that the horrible truth is that an old man with a tariff obsession has been given almost unlimited power in the world's richest country.

It's like spearing a seal in a breathing hole but... Why is he not wearing a suit? And did he ever once say "thank you" to the people of Greenland for hosting that great big US military base since 1951?

Trump's moves, which started on day one with his pardoning of roughly 1,500 people jailed for storming Capitol Hill four years ago, and commuting the terms of the hardest core offenders, have ticked nearly every box on the scholarly checklist of democratic backsliding. But his alacrity has also cast the system's defenders into disarray. "This is moving a lot faster than any of us anticipated," says Steven Levitsky, a Harvard scholar and co-author with Daniel Ziblatt of How Democracies Die. The capture of state institutions that took strongmen like Viktor Orbán or Recep Tayyip Erdogan many years to accomplish, "Trump is trying to pull off in months". Moreover, a hostile seizure of the key government organs has never been tried in a wealthy and established democracy like America, he says. "Trump's speed and intent is remarkable. Even when they happen slowly, such all-out assaults are hard to stop."

The Republican-controlled Senate dutifully confirmed every Trump nominee, including several whose conduct and record would have caused their rapid ejection in any other era. The US now has, among others, a health secretary who doubts the efficacy of vaccines, an FBI director who has vowed lawfare on Trump's enemies and a director of national intelligence accused of parroting Kremlin propaganda. Almost no Republicans objected when Trump stripped security protections from erstwhile officials, including Mike Pompeo, his former secretary of state, John Bolton, a former national security adviser, and Brian Hook, his ex-Iran envoy. The FBI says each are on an Iranian hit list. "It's pure fear and cowardice," says Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican Congressman who served on the committee that investigated the January 6 assault and who Trump has threatened with arrest. "I've lost

Catherine from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat.

P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER NOW MORE THAN EVER

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.”

In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

Yep it’s a bloody car crash. Wake up people!

Also from the FT: "A senior diplomat said: 'It’s very clear now, Europe is alone.' When I asked him if he now regarded the US as an adversary, he replied: 'Yes.'”

The US Vice President lied about Scotland in an attempt to spread misinformation and hate.

Scottish Green MSP @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social has demanded the US Embassy urgently correct the record.
