It’s revolting to see what’s happening in Belfast. Racist criminals given the green light to destroy peoples lives and properties by the gross rhetoric of Musk and Farage. Solidarity with those affected. Hate will never win.

God, reading about UK politics is depressing. There is a massive, coordinated media attack on Net Zero, led by the RW press (& accelerated by Musk's X). It is *wildly* out of sync with public opinion, but it is slowly working, convincing even labour MPs that the public is more right than it is.

If anything these local election results are telling us it’s that people are fed up with the status quo: the rich get richer while the rest of us watch our living standard decline and public services collapse. When will politics catch up?

Misery using the trains from Euston today. Massive delays and cancellations. Yet look at the cheek of them charging £196 for a single ticket for less than an hour journey to Rugby. Just ridiculous

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Starmer’s position as PM now has to be untenable. If Labour are routed at the local elections in May, as expected, then surely he will go.

It’s staggering that America think they can assasinate and bomb a country in the Middle East and think it’s ’job done’ in a matter of days or weeks. The repercussions of this are going to be felt everywhere for years to come.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

When asked ‘how we can fix the country ‘ or ‘come back together ‘ Trump answered he ‘couldn’t care less’. That says it all and explains why the US is in such a mess and is going to implode.

It’s astonishing to see so many people wringing their hands at Labour’s lurch to the right and their disappointment in their year in power. The centre fails to listen to those of us who knew this is who the party is under Starmer and they are part responsible for the rise of Reform.
