Do your friends & neighbors understand just how much extra they're paying because of Donald Trump? Share this video & song about how tariffs are taxes & American consumers, particularly those who have lower incomes pay more. It's like an invisible sales tax. #TrumpRaisedYourTaxes so vote blue!

Farage’s Brexit stunt wasted enough public money to pay for free dental care for everyone in the country for the forseeable future. He doesn’t care about that either. He just wants a UK firesale, removal of our rights and brutal deregulation so his moneyed mates make even more money. What a cock.

Farage's by-election stunt wasted enough public money to pay for free dental care for every child in his constituency. Does he care? No. He just wanted to avoid legitimate parliamentary scrutiny of his dodgy bungs. Which he won't. It'll start again immediately. What a cock.

So finally we know what “Brexit benefit” actually means.. A £5million payment to Farage. Our country is now deeply divided, poorer, unhappier, less influential, less secure, less welcoming and less democratic… But Farage is a multimillionaire. What a fucking disgrace.

Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump. It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both. And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good. Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes. Just get your shit together.

Difficult to recalibrate when the result makes you look a right dick for all the beefing up of Reform that you did. Chris Mason needs to go back to journalism school and check the dictionary for what ‘bias’ and ‘reporting’ really mean.

A vote for Matt Goodwin/Reform in #GortonAndDenton is a vote for racism and misogyny. A vote to shame the constituency, to divide and fail it. It’s a vote that takes no responsibility for its consequences because it hasn’t thought about them and doesn’t care enough to do that. Don’t be that voter.

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Key question for Farage. There’s nothing new, reforming or anti-establishment about Reform. Exactly the same people, corruption, uselessness and racism just sidling over to the Reform/Tory recycling bin. And he’ll never fix the mess the Tories made because they made it for Farage. He is the mess.

You can’t get the Brexit people voted for because it doesn’t exist. It was a con. A prejudiced, arrogant fantasy created by a cynical campaign of dishonesty. This is however the relentless, tedious Brexit reality. An ongoing national scandal. A betrayal of a country by its politicians and media.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.
