Refugee from Twitter, arrived aboard a small boat. On the beach in the East Riding of Yorkshire and ready to hoist the sail and clear off out at the first sign of trouble. Not many harbours of refuge since Brexit - where to go?

“Damn it man LEAD!”
Starmer accuses the Brexiters of selling Brexit on lies and false promises. He’s guilty of pretence and obfuscation now. The EU won’t trust us or even consider major changes to the current deal if British politicians continue to lie, hedge and mislead. Act like a leader, Starmer. Damnit, man. LEAD.

Rant alert: Trump’s national security strategy trashing the EU and core values at heart of transatlantic alliance makes it all the more urgent for Starmer to pursue bolder reset with EU. His timidity loses valuable time and risks leaving us even more subject to events rather than shaping them. 🧵

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform.

I'd like Jess Philips to lead the Labour Party. I don't think anyone else there is as honourable and truthful as she is.
I sense Jess Phillips is becoming the new Angela Rayner, a strong recognisable Labour voice – a strong recognisable FEMALE Labour voice – who is the focus of an orchestrated campaign by others to neuter the government.
We won't even mention "Rachel from Accounts".
The next target – Lucy Powell.

Nigel Farage is a Russian asset. Brexit was a Russian coordinated attempt to weaken Western powers, the UK and the EU, and Nigel Farage was leading the charge on Russia's side. The fact he's not behind bars for treason is miraculous for him indeed. Let's not forget, when the UK economy fell, he fled
Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.
Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?
