In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

It's funny that they don't find the King taxing lifeboats to launch to save lives at sea " offensive "
The Express will keep doing this.

Churning out anger and division.

They don’t take a day off, even on Christmas Day.

But this Christmas I’m inviting you to choose something different:

Humanity. Kindness. Hope.

Voting for Reform, Labour or Tory is like a turkey voting for Christmas, popping out to buy a basting brush, bookmarking a recipe, shoving a lemon up its arse, peeling potatoes, opening the oven, hopping onto the top shelf & believing it when you promise not to turn the heat on as you slam the door.

Arrested for holding a sign. A SIGN.

A sign that opposes GENOCIDE.

No one was hurt by holding a sign. No damages were caused by holding a sign.

But Reform rioters are let off? Get a grip, Labour.
Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Happening under a Labour Government.
