Left twitter the day apartheid Clyde bought it. Never looked back. So glad to have found blue sky. It’s like twitter pre 2016, the year it all went wrong both sides of the pond. Here for news, views and memes

Mexico to bite into best of British pork in new £19m deal Twelve businesses across England and Northern Ireland secure access to Mexico's rapidly expanding market

I'm not sure if Liz Truss ever did succeed in opening up new pork markets in China.

But a decade on, the Labour government has done it with Mexico!

12 businesses across England & Northern Ireland have gained access to export pork to the rapidly growing sector in Mexico, supporting UK farmers.

“We now have a sophisticated regulatory framework in the UK that forces tech platforms to assess risk and allows the public to have far greater transparency over their decision-making processes. We need critical engagement with the regulation, not cynicism. “.

Labour get it right 👍

We’ve supplied the aircraft parts to Lockheed and have done from the start, it’s disingenuous to say we supply Isreal

As for the rest is that disingenuous or do you have actual proof?

This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.
