Sunday morning on LBC from 0900 UK time: a whole hour of discussion of what the story is with the Trump group and Russia, and what it means for us. Tune in, phone in, text in, ask your questions.

All based on Bollox & Bigotry...transfolk aren't the threat. Violent men & other bad actors pretending it's about protecting women whilst arguing to remove INTERNATIONAL rights & protections are. The real aim is to get us out of the #ECHR like they got us out of the ECJ via #Brexit! Wake up!

'Hybrid warfare' aka State Sponsored Terrorism... Time we played them at their own game. Don't announce anything...just do it behind the scenes & undermine the Russians for a change. We also have to be prepared to thwart Trump's rogue regime too. Start by ending #Palantir contract. #Butterflies

So #Butterflies, #RobertJenrick is on #r4Today attempting to dismiss the widespread racism of #Reform councillors... Might he not be the best choice? Just another charlatan with an agenda serving a number of bad actors seeking to divide & undermine our Democracy & our Rights & Protections.

This is why there can be no lasting peace, nor any deal until Russia is defeated and left unable ever again to threaten anyone. You can't trust Putin nor his Russian regime. And it appears you can't trust Trump and his US one either. Dump #Trump Purge #Putin & unite the democratic West.

#r4Today #ReformUK show just how bereft they are of meaningful policies. All they do is blame foreigners/immigrants/asylum seekers & spread culture wars. Boat people are a tiny minority, the Govt's policy is working. The real aim is to remove us ALL from the #ECHR & gain total power! Foil #Farage

More folks suggesting that this could lead to an earlier GE. This would be a huge mistake. Before Burnham risks the electorate he must reform the system & increase Transparency, Scrutiny Accountability & Resilience. Democratic defences must be in place.

#Butterflies Hard to imagine #Rubio believing the BS. The US isn't prepared to play whatever role as it's ruled out the 1 necessary role to end this war...that of helping the West ensure that Ukraine defeats the Russian Empire. By giving Russia breathing space they are aiding US strategic demise.

#Butterflies I predict that the US midterms are unlikely to be free & fair. Trump is never going to accept he's losing. The Right gains power only to avoid again losing it. The UK Govt urgently needs to reform our system to ensure it never happens here. Dump #Trump Foil #Farage Exit #Brexit

#Butterflies #r4Today I've long been stating our total lack of Civil Defence for years, incl protecting our skies, critical infrastructure ports & factories. Such a shame it's taken the Tories, who have harmed the UK so much, who are the ones now stating it. We need to rearm at scale to deter war.

#Butterflies Might be worth defending our limited water supplies & reservoirs... Also avoiding costly greedy Data Centres using up all our power and water and making an easy target. I do wish folks in power would start reconsidering the absence of the word 'Civil' in front of 'Defence'.

#Butterflies No doubt not something most folks will consider but it seems to me we are woefully underprepared for any future conflict with zero civil defence. I live in East Anglia where pylons are contentious. Maybe underground may be cheaper in the long run; incl for factories & hospitals.

The #ECJ was the real reason behind #Brexit. We lost a whole raft of Rights & Protections without any debate. FoM was it & the bad actors turned it into Immigration. The #ECHR is just the next step. Neither transpeople nor immigrants are the threat Farage, Trump, Putin & those wanting us out are!

#Butterflies Struck me Burnham's rather good speech was not about Britain First but Britain/UK Together...with the sub text being Together, together with others. Much in common with LibDems. If he can now ditch the socially illiberal policies I might be convinced to offer my tactical vote.

#Butterflies 1. Have long supported reforms but am concerned that govts continue to approach things piecemeal with little strategic or integrated thinking. We need an independent commission to look across the pitch & at other countries. Options pros & cons, informed debate & meaningful consultation.
