Get a spine, Weird Starmer & call Trump out!
Donald Trump has crossed a dangerous line. He’s seized the president of Venezuela and claimed he’ll “run the country” himself.

If any other leader did this, it would be condemned as a crime. But Keir Starmer is staying silent.

If we don’t speak up now, what will Trump do next?

Trump’s tariffs have raised prices.

Now the President is even admitting his policies have been a disaster.

He’s made life more expensive for working people.

The flow of drugs into our communities is a huge problem.

But the answer is not more foreign wars and using the U.S. military to blow up boats.

I’m working to reign in the President’s abuse of power, waste of taxpayer dollars, and putting our troops in harm’s way.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

Every single day, 109 children across the UK are pulled into poverty by the two-child benefit cap.

But there is an easy solution - taxing gambling companies could generate £3.2billion, enough to scrap both the two-child limit and the benefit cap.
