Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.
Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

The "appropriate response" is to broadcast everything that Trump did and said on that appalling day for American democracy and then to tell this moron to sling his hook.
I might be wrong, but this stinks of Pharage involvement.

Strong arguments from @liambyrnemp.bsky.social on how best to tackle the threat of Farage..
Do so where he’s weak:
The economy⚠️he’d do a Truss++
Workers’ rights⚠️he’s against them
Welfare⚠️he’d strip it away
NHS⚠️he’d dismantle it.
“Populists govern badly but campaign well”
So blow up their campaign.

Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law.
Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular.

After many years of #Tory austerity & the continuation of it by #Labour, is it any wonder?
As the 6th richest country in the world, it's about time we stopped pandering to the wealthy & distributed our money fairly.
But there is no chance that happening under Labour, #Tories or #Reform.

Is there anything much more repulsive than a very wealthy, safe, privileged Tory/Reform MP/commentator targeting deliveroo drivers and asylum-seekers in dismal hotels with their anti-immigrant, racist bile - to whip up civil unrest that they hope to use as their lever into power? No.
