We all knew something like this had happened: Corbyn working with Tory Brexiters to back the Withdrawal Agreement, on a three line whip, with no amendments. ... But to see it here in black and white still makes me furious!

"I despair of his 'be all things to all men' approach."

Steve Coogan tells Andrew Marr he believes Keir Starmer is a 'decent man', but warns that his eagerness to please everyone will inevitably 'bite him on the bum' eventually.

Fascism has arrived in the USA for all to see. Apologists are already making excuses for Elonโ€™s Nazi salute. We see it. Our eyes are wide open. This is what America voted for, we are a sick country. So much work to do and itโ€™s up to each of us to do the work because NOBODY is coming to save us

Elon's salute would get him a five-year sentence in today in Germany.

A Trump Oligarchy Is Moving to Washington, and Buying Up Prime Addresses Billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to a city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

From midnight tonight until next Saturday morning, there's no TV, no Internet, no Social Media, no nothing for me.

Symbolic protest is better than none at all.

Mike Galsworthy ends the Brexit argument in four minutes "I can't see a model for the future of humanity that I like coming out of China, India or The States. But I can see it in Europe."

Rapprochement doesn't have to be transactional exceptionalist.

It can be positive, European, warm. Even exceptional.

Like Mr @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social

Watch. Hits the target. Outstanding. This is how campaigning should be.

a blue flag with a circle of yellow stars on it ALT: a blue flag with a circle of yellow stars on it

Every single poll and survey shows a large majority regretting Brexit and wanting to rejoin the SM, CU and/or the EU as a whole.

I fail to see why we should be bullied by a right wing media, minority of the population and cowardly government.

I want a government with balls not excuses.
