"One senior diplomat said Starmer was right to “essentially ignore” Trump and must now attempt to build ties with Canada, Australia and mainland Europe instead as it was hard to see how the relationship could recover."
"Real patriotism isn’t about stringing union jacks from lamp-posts, but defending your country from the mounting threats it faces, in a world grown too dangerous to indulge the isolationists’ fantasies any longer."

I ask the Government to set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform, as advocated by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Fair Elections. It should be an independent, time limited, expert led review to build consensus for changing the electoral system for the Westminster Parliament.
@christineburns Amongst the many #BigLies that dominate #UKpol, the lie of Tory economic competence is one of the biggest. They thew away the #NorthSea oil/gas bonanza, asset-stripped the public sector, created a huge infrastructure backlog, and destroyed swathes of communities.
None of it was caused by honest misjudgement or by unforeseen circumstances. It was all known and planned.
It's a crime as devastating as treason, committed publicly. Yet its barely acknowledged. 😡
@JorisBohnsonPM But that's exactly what ReformUK is set up to be, to turn UK into a puppet state of US, to sell of more of our lucrative assets and our public sector to US corporations, and to push the #uk into war, necessitating conscription, because the British military wouldn't survive longer than a few days otherwise. Our entire military for context would fit into Wembley Stadium.
“Farage on Iran: 'We should be supporting the Americans'”
Nigel, you can show your support to trump by being first on the beach with the US ground forces in Iran.
Show the world what sort of leader you are

Netpol asked the Home Office what evidence they had to support the new amendment that would criminalise protests outside MPs homes.
Rather that say it did not hold this information, the Home Office instead responded by insisting it would cost too much to gather this data – confirming, inadvertently, that it had gathered no evidence to support the amendment it is proposing.
Another piece of authoritarian anti-protest legislation backed by zero evidence is now imminent.
