Love Europe and Canada 🇪🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧, the Oxford comma, and retirement! I am truly hopeful that Starmer succeeds, despite the right wing media plotting his demise.

You can only assume that as Trump is clearly insane it follows that Miller,Vance, and the administration are all inmates of the same lunatic asylum.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

If I was at an office offsite this would be cringeworthy but at Davos, with the world’s leaders, no words! F’ing unbelievable. Who is asking these inconsequential questions?

She walked straight into the trap at #PMQs. She couldn't even think one day ahead.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

Farage fawned over Trump for a decade. Begged to sit at his dining table and ride in his gold lift. Played the presidential tribute to him as his LBC intro. Said he'd be great for Brexit.
Trump’s reign was never in Britain's interests.
But Farage didn't care because it flattered his fragile ego.

Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.
… including payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Like the gestapo before them they will be tried and hung. Trump is not long for this world and we know what happened when the coward Hitler killed himself.

Well, be fair! What ordinary, decent "man of the people" hasn't sometimes forgotten about the odd £380,000 down the back of the sofa? After all he's a busy man, slaving away for Clacton 🤣

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
