As an EU member, Britain could be the bridge between Europe and the US. On its own, and with Trump in power, it must choose. Because you can’t side with this America. You can’t excuse its tyranny. You can’t endorse its cruelty. You can’t agree to its terms.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

What’s worrying is that the news is so distressing that now ppl are so disillusioned/anxious that even those who are politically informed are not watching/reading the news. Soon they’ll be a vacuum for anything to happen, because there won’t be the outcry

Posting footage of deportations impresses no one. Reform voters don’t think it’s enough hatred and the rest of us turn away from yet more performative cruelty. The Labour vote disintegrates.
If Labour can’t decide who it should be talking and listening to, then it ends up without an audience.

If you remember nothing else: Never, ever trust a Tory.
The pitch from right wing politicians that the UK needs to leave the ECHR is based on a wholly misleading premise yet many are now being taken in by it. Let’s make sure everyone understands the actual facts. Leaving the ECHR will undermine all our rights
Former Tory Brexit Secretary joins insane call for UK to leave ECHR.
My latest film explains why joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR will do nothing to stop small boats & it will undermine all our rights
