So the secretive billionaire behind Zorro Ranch gets sunlight and surprise, his kid’s in the White House. In any functioning democracy, this would trigger ethics alarms, not shrugs and vibes.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

That very much raises the question of “which Labour?” There’s the one I wanted to be a part of when I joined, and there’s the one that’s been calling the shots more recently.

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin
The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

🚨Gorton and Denton by-election
Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.
We are so much better than that.
DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

Should the World Service disappear it would be scandalous vandalism, and a choice to act immorally. 418 million people a week reached - that's one in twenty people worldwide.

Describes as 'one of the UK’s most influential cultural assets', it broadcast to millions.
Former UN secretary general Kofi Annan called it:
“Perhaps Britain’s greatest gift to the world” in the 20th century.
I learned so much working there.
Yet, its end has been coming since I joined. So sad..

Another Starmer choice, to cut things people like, want and use.
For what? Because someone shouted growth at a cocktail party funded by corpos while ministers were getting their freebies.

The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

you could really aid pubs by recognising that mega-chains like spoons are as different from real pubs as tesco is from your local shop, and taxing accordingly.
your local pub can't afford to bulk buy cask ale that's a week away from going off and be guaranteed to sell it all.

I've boycotted Wetherspoon pubs ever since his clearly racist Brexit rant in 2016. (As I still boycott Dyson products after the eponymous owner promoted Brexit for UK sovereignty - then built his manufacturing overseas!) Vote with your feet and wallet, people, it's one of the few powers we have.

Apparently Conor McGregor is meeting Trump today as his guest to mark St. Patrick's Day. In November 2023 McGregor encouraged and endorsed an anti-immigrant far-right riot in Dublin City.
It’s also notable that at the St. Patrick’s Day celebration at The White House this year that President Trump singled out Conor McGregor and Michael Flatley for praise and attention. Both are ethno-nationalists who have spread/endorsed far-right propaganda about a “non-white invasion”.
