Starmer’s support for Ukraine might just align the UK with Europe more than he realises. The stakes have never been higher.
Britain’s last chance: triumph or turmoil in Europe’s future?
Britain must choose between an unstable alliance with Trump or aligning with a resilient, unified Europe

As Guy Chapman has warned us, facts & truth really do matter.

So we will have to be on our guard when POTUS is speaking..

I posted the text from this on Twitter, and it has been incredibly well received. I don’t have the time right now to post the long thread required again, but here’s a link. It’s a brilliant piece, and really hits the nail on the proverbial head.

It’s the 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz in a week.

Musk and Trump promotes the AfD.

Let’s remember that the German population facilitated Hitler’s rise to power and all those terrible terrible deeds done under the cloak of German legality.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

If you are pro-Europe, and would like to see the Tories and Reform consigned to oblivion, then we will get along fine.

I hope the irony of a Brexit cheerleader like Badenoch telling the CBI that "Labour doesn't listen to business" and indulges "political ideas that result in cost and red tape" is not lost on people.

Does she really think she can gloss over the fact she rode that very economic vandalism to the top?

A Reminder.

Clarkson and Dyson bought up lots of land to avoid paying inheritance tax.

This makes land more expensive for those who want to farm it.

New rules mean inheritance tax only kicks in over 2 mil.

This isn't about farmers. It's about the mega rich not wanting to pay their fair share.

This is very interesting. I don’t think many people I interact with in this place would be donating to this private prosecution! However, for people that do, I will struggle to find any sympathy if it’s terminated.
Ultimately - and here’s the kicker - the CPS have the power to take over a private prosecution, and, if they consider it appropriate, to terminate it.

So anybody donating to a private prosecution by a politicised prosecutor who hasn’t seen the evidence, is likely throwing money down the drain.
