Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

Trump:
“Canada was meant to be the 51st state…. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada.”

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

So, Farage, still fawning over your idol Putin? Do you back your mate Trump selling out to a dictator? Should Britain bow to Kremlin thugs, or do we stand strong with our European allies and Ukraine? Enough weasel words, time to admit where your fascist loving heart really lies. #ukpolitics

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.

How to bring peace to Palestine (if you're a self-obsessed property developer who knows nothing).
Occupy a densely populated chunk of Palestinian land, and forcibly evict its civilian population. Then "develop" it...
This cretin is a danger to the world. Europe should stand up to him.

there’s a very funny comedy at the moment about a person with unearned self-regard and complete lack of self-awareness who treats others like lackeys; away from the news, there’s also Amandaland on BBC1

5 years after Brexit.
5 million Brits across Europe left unprotected by the Withdrawal Agreement.
50+ million Brits impacted by loss of their Freedom of Movement
Enough is enough.

1. If Trump runs out of immigrants to persecute, I suspect the next target for his performative sadism will be people with disabilities. Already, without a shred of evidence, he has blamed the air crash on disabled air traffic controllers, with horrible, stereotyping slurs about their disabilities.🧵
