The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

So, Farage, still fawning over your idol Putin? Do you back your mate Trump selling out to a dictator? Should Britain bow to Kremlin thugs, or do we stand strong with our European allies and Ukraine? Enough weasel words, time to admit where your fascist loving heart really lies. #ukpolitics

In principle there should be a vote in Parliament when troops are deployed. I’m confident all sides of the House are likely to agree with the Prime Minister apart from those Trump bootlickers in Reform.

How to bring peace to Palestine (if you're a self-obsessed property developer who knows nothing). Occupy a densely populated chunk of Palestinian land, and forcibly evict its civilian population. Then "develop" it... This cretin is a danger to the world. Europe should stand up to him.

1. If Trump runs out of immigrants to persecute, I suspect the next target for his performative sadism will be people with disabilities. Already, without a shred of evidence, he has blamed the air crash on disabled air traffic controllers, with horrible, stereotyping slurs about their disabilities.🧵

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
