There is a new petition to rejoin the EU, please support the idea of reuniting with our European friends petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...
Petition: Commit to a referendum in May 2028 asking the next government to rejoin the EU
Polls show that many people of the UK believe leaving the EU was a mistake. It is time politicians stopped ignoring the views of the people. The government needs to consult the people about what to do...

Lovely stat!
“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

Fuck trump!
🇨🇦 If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside.
The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years.
If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed.

Can I just say fuck trump! 😀
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Russia needs to get out of all Ukrainian territory including the Crimea!
❗️There is a vision of the US, Russia and Ukraine, and we do not have a common opinion on Donbas, - Zelensky

As he said in an interview with Bloomberg, elements of US peace plan require further discussion on a number of "sensitive issues", including security guarantees and the territory.

Lib Dem leader Edward Davey calls for a national investigation into Russian political interference in British politics:

"Given Reform won't, he must. So will he know launch a national investigation into Russian infiltration into our politics?"

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The last thing we need on the BBC is a "proper Thatcherite Conservative”
Extraordinary, when you think about it, that anyone could look at former *head of communications for Theresa May* Robbie Gibb & think ‘now that’s exactly the skillset we need a slice of’.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The fact that Starmer may have to rely on support from Tories, rather than his own party, speaks volumes for how far Labour have strayed off course.
I'm old enough to remember when they were promising us the "change" the country desperately wanted/needed.
