Geeze.
2 risible extremists. Blood curdling delusional, divisive chancers.

#Fareham #Waterlooville deserve so much better than this pair & their cronies.

#Reform = refuge for everyone who's had a civil society labotomy.

#Braverman got 35% last time. Time for #tacticalvoting plans & education

What have #London and #Greenland got in common?
This...

Lunatic #LailaCunningham of the Trump/Putin Sycophant Party shows the fragile mental state of those plumping up their penguin feathers in support.
#London get ready to stop this poison now. It'll be far too late soon.

#Farage - meet Posh George #Cottrell - convicted criminal up to no good in Montenegro, mostly. #Reform is surrounded by bigots, racists, dinosaurs and liars. Georgie still fundraises & is known associate of Tommy Robinson et al.
Come May, UK must galvanise and stop this rot. We are not Trump lite.

Full next week of meetings entirely moved from 🇺🇲 to Toronto 🇨🇦.
Hotels moved from chains supporting #ICE to indy. Car rental indy op, Mini Cooper. Cousin cancelled his trip to The Rockies, going to Vancouver. Cancelled #Netflix

That's just us. There's many more. We're sorry...

#ice #cbp #dhs #portland Mid 2025. I'm in a suit, leaving meeting en route airport. ICE outside heard my Scots twang. "Citizenship, authority to be in US". Snarling at my bemused face. Guy opposite - nothing to do with me- Hispanic cuffed, treated v badly. #USA- save yourselves from tyranny...

Yes they're terrified. Aside - Labour vote in Bristol in the doldrums; Debonnaire was chucked partly because she was arrogant & complacent. Norris is an embarrassment and Darren Jones despite a healthy majority, not well liked.

#Gorton is one nail. The coffin is unfortunately lined up.
What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?

Reform winning?

Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.

They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

I'm no military analyst, but it seems to me #canada should sway from #f35 and grab these #saab #gripens for a whole host of political and non-political considerations. One being the sickening prospect of Trump 3.0 under a different face.

Aside - UK F35s are v expensive to operate. And fragile...

4,037 miles.

Approx air distance between #Minneapolis & #London.

So, that distance east of the New World, an illegal immigrant is apprehended in #Kent, UK. He's given a glass of water & later, help. In MN a US citizen is shot in the head.

4037 miles - distance between civilisation & fascism

There's a bit of Robert Burns in us all who believe in democracy, justice. He supported revolutions in America, France, Ireland that rocked 18th c world; he backed democratic reform inside Britain...

He'd be shocked by MAGA, Trump et al. Aye.

Through no fault of my own, became #homeless final year of Uni in #Glasgow. Studied in the library, slept on a bench or hostel. Got a 1st.
The guy who ran the showers at the rail station took me under his wing.
Passed away recently. Went to funeral.
Thank you Jimmy, for everything. #kindness

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

My God. Swivelled eyed lunatics of Pennsylvania Avenue - beyond the pale. #Vance believes free press is a threat; #Noem - incompetent sycophant & #Bovino needs a straitjacket.

Some ask why I asked American associates to meet me in T.O. 🇨🇦? Em Duh? Love Boston, but it can wait.

:( Sickened.

@mothinali.bsky.social McSweeney & his shoo-in Whip of a wife live near to family in S Lanarkshire.

He is detested in the area as much as he is reviled in SW1A.

His Blairite worshipping is destroying Labour + incompetence of Starmer brown nosing a fascist in the USA = demise certain.

No more tone policing and kindness-washing. Everything that's happening in the US right now should be assumed to be a preview of the consequences of electing a Conservative Prime Minister in Canada, and of a separated Alberta under the UCP and the brownshirts they want to replace the RCMP with.
Canada's Conservative Party is denying press credentials to media outlets while handing out 'content creator' passes to partisan personalities.

This is a tactic straight from the USA's White House.

The execution of citizens by the state is one of the defining features of fascism. Along with extreme nationalism, myth-making, scapegoating, centralised dictatorship & glorifying war.

The lies of this administration.

They murder people. Then blame the victim.

But I guess that’s not a new thing for these type of people in this administration.

Quite the dream being imposed on all decent Americans.
I moved #USA meetings to #Toronto🇨🇦 with full support of those south of 49th parallel. Bad for airlines heading west, my advice is - just don't go. If you don't need to go or can swap location, do that.
