Brit adrift in a sea of misinformation. Horizon scanning for next beacon of truth. Moral compass helps
Spineless Starmer😡
More Neville Chamberlain than Churchill
I didn't vote for a lickspittle lackey for Trump's kleptocracy - ask our bioethanol industry how that's working out

But to stand by and let a foreign dictator traduce our democracy is a new low even for this @uklabourparty.bsky.social 😡

Hugely important - and depressingly resonant - thread George. But particularly replying to this part to ask if there has ever been an example of such "massive political effort" producing a lasting functioning democracy? I can't think of one but hope I'm wrong

Amen to that Zarah
grotesque to see Labour do Tory work in Tory economic straight-jacket.

& 4 what?
£22bn "black hole" doesn't even stand up & growth forecasts drop off a cliff after next year (OBR)

Meanwhile they maintain Tory fetish against rejoining EU, our biggest and closest trading partner😡

Here's last line of Melanie Phillips' polemic in defence of Netanyahu's genocide

"If you support the Palestinian Arab cause today, you are facilitating deranged and murderous Jew-hatred"

BBC Robbie Gibb: UR on the board of the JC. Do you approve her view? Is it your editorial line at BBC also?

All strength to you 👍🏻💪

Damn right Mia
this side of the pond too

Musk already corrupted US democracy
Now seeks same in UK & Germany

He has zero legitimacy to do so. What 2 do?

1. ban donations

2. Brazil showed how 2 shut Twitter. How about UK, EU do same?

3. Withdraw roadworthiness licence for Tesla cars

Any more?

West needs to stop cowering in front of fascism, autocracy💪😡

CPTPP may be of strategic value but useless economically

Gravity works for trade
Asia ~10x further away than EU

So $10 market opportunity in Asia is worth ~ same to UK as a $1 opportunity in EU

So why Starmer/Reeves aping populists when many in UK are cold & hungry 4 want of EU economic growth?😡

Happy to do my small bit to help publicise Judge Kaplan's very careful signposting to the truth.

Why-oh-why did ABC News cave?😡
