Great stall in Falmouth on 4th July!
Perfect weather, super volunteers, lots of visitors & 11 new members. A young Dutch man was interested to find out all about Brexit and why it happened. He's here on an internship fully funded by Erasmus - something lost to our young people!

British people now dislike Elon Musk more than ever with more than 7 in 10 having an unfavourable opinion of him.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Many of the Jews who died in the Warsaw Ghetto died of starvation, disease & hypothermia. These were an integral part of the Nazi #genocide.

Trump picks former acting AG Matthew Whitaker, an "America First" Trump sycophant with no foreign policy experience, as NATO ambassador.

The UK needs to work much more closely with European partners on security. The "special relationship" is a dangerous liability.

.@Ofcom is now responsible for the regulation of sites like this in the UK. Just one problem. Ofcom's chair, a Tory appointment, has expressed enthusiasm for far right statements. Under his leadership, Ofcom's decisions have shown blatant rightwing bias. Starmer must sack him.

Those of us who want Musk to get out of our politics (about which he knows nothing and cares less), and for X to stop facilitating and encouraging murderous racist thugs and vile abuse, need to act.

Lots of us have to act or it won’t work.

Suggestions: RT if you agree.

And what the hell is the owner of X - who has bigged up Tommy Robinson and Paul Golding - doing tell us that “civil war is inevitable” in Britain?
