Surprisingly #Starmer is correct that retalitory tariffs don't do anybody any good, but backing down isn't the answer!
Rather than pretending Trump can be reasoned with, he should be looking for a strong response that actually benefits the country and its people. If I thought he'd read it I'd send him #CoryDoctorrow stuff on the post American internet.

Tariff war in 'no one's interest', says PM in face of Trump threats

Sir Keir Starmer said the situation was "very serious" and that right approach was through "calm discussion".

Courts shouldn’t follow “the will of the people”. That’s what protects us from power abuse. But across Europe, politicians are turning up the pressure – and blaming judges when laws don’t suit their agenda. This isn’t justice. It’s erosion.
Are you seeing it too?
How do we stop this slide – before it’s too late?

*European Citizens' Initiative for a Ban on conversion practices in the European Union*

Please share widely with everyone you know who is an #EU citizen!
Under 36 hours left to give a statement of support. Until end of 17. of May!

Total reached so far: 971.914

8 countries have reached the threshold so far, 7 were needed, but every other signation helps, also in case of fake or wrong signations, to still get over the 1 million signations.
Especially #denmark #Italy and #Sweden might still be able to reach over 100%.
France got over 900% now, signations from there are also still wanted!

An initiative a few months back on safe abortion rights had almost 1.2 million in the end, which was their target from the beginning and is needed to be safe.

If 1 million gets reached, the initiative is legally binding the EU to do something about a ban.

Hello world, especially friends in #Germany. Our Basic Finn nazi minister of justice has just halted preparations for a law that would criminalise holocaust denialism.

This is sadly just one of the fascism inducing things she has done TODAY. #finland #basicFinns #basicFinnNazis #politics #politicsFI #fascism #fasism #fascismInFinland #naziGovernment #politicsEU #nazis #holocaust #holocaustDenial
