Starmer is the line that is protecting us from a descent into foreign funded dangerous populism.
He doesn’t need to be doing this. We need him to be doing this.
Support him

@Sandra_____G Just a note from Brexit Britain. You must be absolutely f*^king mental to want to secede from Canada.
Dumb. As. Anything - stop with this #MAGA bullshit.

With the local elections fast approaching this deserves revisiting:
Farage squirms as Rep. Jamie Raskin obliterates the "Putin-loving, free speech imposter, Trump sycophant".
Please share as widely as possible. The news media have a convenient habit of forgetting about Farage's service to Russia.

@SamCoatesSky @thinkagainIAO Not a single tweet regarding Richard Tice avoiding hundreds of thousands in tax.
Not a single tweet.
Why?
Are you funded by Reform?

In 1937 Adolf Hitler purged all artwork from Museums that didn't confine to the Far Right White Supremacist Nazi ideals.
Which was most of it.
Reform are planning this kind of intervention on day 1.

20 countries have successfully adopted the Euro currency and currently benefit from it.
0 countries have left it and 0 have campaigns to leave it. The currency enjoys majority support in every country that adopted it.
It has proven its success over and over again! #RejoinEU

The energy used to make fuel is STAGGERING.
Most people think about what happens inside the engine…
But the real waste starts LONG before the fuel even reaches your car.
To make just 1 litre of petrol:
Around 1,700-3,400 kJ (0.5-0.95 kWh) is used just to get oil out the ground.
Then another 3,400-6,800 kJ (0.95-1.9 kWh) is used to refine it into usable fuel.
That’s 5,100-10,200 kJ (1.4-2.8 kWh) gone before you’ve even driven a single mile.
That same energy, just to make the fuel, could be used to drive an EV 6-12 miles.
Now scale that to a full tank…
A 60 litre tank uses 84-168 kWh of energy just to produce the fuel.
If that powered an EV instead, it would drive 336-672 miles.
And here’s the WORST part…
This doesn’t include shipping it around the world, transporting it to fuel stations or pumping it into a car.
All of which use even more energy.
The losses involved in the transportation of oil and fuel are staggering, but that’s another post.
Then once it’s in your car, it’s burned ONCE, and it’s gone.
All that energy used just to burn it ONCE.
A petrol engine also only uses about 20-35% of that energy to actually move the wheels.
So staggering amounts of energy are being used, just for 70% of what that energy creates to be wasted.
Any other industry with these figures would be bankrupt, and it would be classed as an insane practice.
So, NEVER forget…
Before a fossil car fills its tank, it’s already “spent” enough energy to drive hundreds of miles in an EV.
Make it make sense.

You won’t see any of this reported but while the right-wing dominated media and left/right extremists continue to seek opportunities over Mandelson, this Labour govt is working…getting results for UK citizens not party or self aggrandisement 👏🏼

Brilliant news as NHS waiting lists continue to fall - down 405,000 since the election. 750,000 patients are being seen on time in A&E. Ambulances are reaching heart attack and stroke patients 5 minutes faster. This Labour government is getting our NHS back on track.

@RealNatalieRowe The @guardian should make a FULL apology 'in public' to @Keir_Starmer and the country, because all this nonsense has deflected his work in managing this country.

Local elections have low turnouts, so whoever succeeds in getting their voters into the polling stations will do well.
That's why we have to get the maximum anti-Farage vote. The local elections will be treated as referendum. We must make sure that Farage and his billionaire and press backers are resoundingly defeated.
Please spread the message. These elections are a battle between international fascism, and democracy, freedom and human rights.

More than half of Britons support rejoining EU 10 years on from Brexit vote.
Brexit was secured with lies. It hasn't delivered any of the claimed economic benefits.
Nobody under the age of 28 had a say.
Need another referendum.

You may take that view, but it does not accord with the substance of what has actually been established. A growing number of people are simply weary of what feels like an ongoing media spectacle, where the narrative is being shaped rather than the facts being reported with proper balance.
We are now seeing further lines of questioning being introduced, extending beyond the matter at hand and drawing in other names and issues. That does little to clarify the situation and risks giving the impression that the objective is to sustain momentum rather than to reach a fair conclusion.
The essential questions have, in truth, already been addressed. The civil servant has given evidence before the Select Committee and has confirmed that the information in question was not passed on. On that basis, there is no foundation for the claim that Sir Keir Starmer misled Parliament.
At some point, there must be a degree of finality. Continuing to revisit the same ground, or to broaden the scope without clear justification, serves little purpose. Many will simply see this for what it is: another episode in a cycle of media amplification that has become increasingly tiresome.
As for the wider political context, it is evident that opposition parties are seeking to derive advantage from the situation. Whether that proves effective is another matter entirely, particularly at a time when questions are being raised about their own direction and relevance.
For most people, however, the matter is now straightforward. The facts have been set out, the answers have been given, and it is time to move on.
