2016/2017/2018/2019/2020: Yay! We won brexit, we knew exactly what we voted for and this was definitely it. 2021: February 🤦‍♀️

@_imey @ollieparrot @NickBuckleyMBE Farage is a professional agitator. Nothing more. He lobs grenades from the sidelines because that's easy to do with minimal risk & accountability. Running a government is something quite different & if it came to it, he would find a way to not be in the position of full power.

I have no illusions about Farage, the man. But unless something seismic happens in the next 18 months, then Farage and Reform are the only viable choice at the next election to unseat Labour and at least halt our decline. I'm not optimistic that Reform will deliver even half of the Sort of Things We Want, but it is vital that we exhaust every possible peaceful, democratic solution.

There is a very small percentage of Reform UK supporters who are ideologies and are no better than the woke, commies or cult members. They cannot accept ANY criticism of the party and their holy one - he who must be obeyed. Let me state again for this group, they are only a tiny percentage of Reform UK supporters. People like this can be found in all political parties. I have met thousands of Reform supports and they are wonderful patriotic individuals with their own reasons why they support this party. Good for them. I understand Reform UK better than the vast majority of supporters. I stood for them twice. I was part of the party within weeks of creation when I stood for Gtr Manchester Mayor for them. I’ve met Nigel and been on his tv show several times, I have met and had conversations with Tice and Bull. My friend worked for the party for years in a senior role. I joined the party again in 2025 and resigned after 4 months for I saw what they really were - exactly the same as they were in 2022: a centre right party. You may like Reform UK - that’s perfectly fine. You can vote for who you wish - it’s called democracy. But part of democracy is to allow others to disagree with you for whatever reason they wish. Reform are a fraud built on a foundation of lies - that’s my position. I will be proven right in time or I will not. In a nutshell, stop moaning at me for having an opinion you don’t like.

I propose a new nickname for ICE. "Melts" urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter… - you're welcome

@HPanoias @supertanskiii @Sillyshib @SandraDunn1955 (And you're right there are many, many decent blokes in the world and there are some real scum bags - we just can't tell which ones which)

@HPanoias @supertanskiii @Sillyshib @SandraDunn1955 Thought experiment. Would you rather be sent to prison and have to take showers with other men. Or be in the woods with a bear

Been called a cunt by countless men and far right bots today, amongst other slurs, one said I should be burned alive, another wished gang rape on me. Why? For pointing out the fact it’s men like them who commit most violent and sexual crime and are therefore the real danger.

The Labour party occupy the most expensive real estate in the world. Living rent free in Elon Musks mind....

@DavidAHoward @Green_Yogi This is the point where we as women collectively ask for your hard drive to be checked.

@Green_Yogi Good job Karen. I bet you told the teacher when you caught your friend cheating or smoking.

i caught a man taking photos of a young woman's arse on the escalator, i followed him all the way to where he sat on the tube and he started scrolling through the photos i took a photo of him and told him to delete all the ones on. his phone #Middleclasswomanofacertainage

@IngEmpireWatch @EsheruKwaku The notions of gravity have been built and discussed by ancient Greek, Indian, Islamic scholars. The knowledge Galileo, Newton, Cavendish and Einstein no doubt used as building blocks.

@IngEmpireWatch @EsheruKwaku First recorded language - Sumerian First recorded mapping of lunar cycles - Sumerian or Egyptian First recording of numbers - Mesopotamia All knowledge is built with the bricks of knowledge that came before

Raising living standards? Many of the countries that Britain colonised were in far better shape, far more advanced and far more progressive than Britain were, before Britain arrived.

@Ladykorg @FuseODG I think (and I don't know so really happy to be corrected) that the whole project removes agency. What people want is agency, not money & not to be viewed as "poor Africans that can't help themselves". They can, they just need opportunity. This shouldn't be happening in 2024.

@FuseODG I think you misunderstand how the project makes us feel. As a brit living in relative comfort, I've only ever felt ashamed of ourselves. Our greed, our waste, the luxury of local education that so many throw away. I have the utmost respect for African people & this makes me sad.

🚨Someone tell BBC to stop the release of their documentary celebrating Band Aid Bob Geldof is releasing another version of Do They Know It’s Christmas…a project that dehumanises Africans and destroys our pride and identity in the name of ‘charity’. This can’t run now in 2024

@THEJamesWhale Christ this is embarrassing. Why on earth have you not deleted this?!

I can’t get over the amount of people on the Bbc not wearing poppies as if to say the sacrifices our four bears made are not still recognisable they should be ashamed of themselves.

@TheeOldeYeller @maddenifico In the UK, we understand this more than most...brexit. trust me, lots of you have our sympathy.

@maddenifico He’s just rubbing salt in the chasm of a wound already. Adept Americans know exactly what’s happening and are questioning the integrity of this election cycle in earnest. We were victims of outside hostile subterfuge plain and simple…

The democratic free world thinks the American people have lost their fucking minds — and they're not wrong. 😳👇

@ItzD @maddenifico Don't worry, we've seen the stats. We know who it was.

@maddenifico It wasn't black women, make sure to include that in every video, TikTok, and Tweet.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed chanting racist, genocidal slogans. They were also reportedly attacking local Muslims. For the BBC to fail to mention this in its reporting of the violence in Amsterdam last night is disgraceful. Sky the same. /1 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@belle_aec It was the gloating that did it for me. There was nothing gracious about the victory. I will say, I now don't know anyone personally that thinks it was a good idea. I had to leave them to figure that out for themselves and either come back - or not.

@belle_aec When brexit was voted for in the UK it unleashed a really unpleasant undertone here. It showed us who people really were and emboldened the rats to come out into the light and say what they like with impunity. What you guys are dealing with is worse tbh. Put yourself first.

I need to vent for a moment. Just got back in contact with one of my best friends from high school a few months ago after about 20 years. Everything has been going along fine, and we have been trying to make plans to get together finally. However, I found out today that he is a major Trump supporter. I am crushed. I mean, what in the actual fuck am I supposed to do now? He wants to make it seem like we can still be friends with political differences. But here's the deal - that's now a dealbreaker for me. Family, friend or otherwise. I'm not interested in being understanding anymore. Fuck that. I already tried that for years now. So, I really don't know what to do. Feeling disheartened and confused.

@Andie00471 @1ainTro11sBots Everyone will become an expert on MFNs and ROO now.

Since I appear to be offering up lessons on tariffs today, riddle me this, Maga. Tariffs on imported building materials like plywood, drywall and roofing will result in skyrocketing costs of rebuilding post Hurricane Helene (or any other natural disaster). This will immediately impact the cost of your homeowners insurance. The cherry on top is you voted for the party that last week indicated they wanted to repeal the CHIPS act! The FAFO is real. *don't come at me with where building materials come from. i promise i know more about it than you do.

@buhashee @vivamjm I cannot get my head around this. Even IF the business exporting the goods had to pay the tariffs - as he somehow thought. Surely the analogy would still apply that the business would pass the costs onto the customer who would then pass it on to the consumer... Am I broken?!

Tariffs explained for the mentally challenged. #MAGA @vivamjm

@maiainmi @karolcummins Wish I could tell u that would make a difference. It won't Lots of us in the UK thought that once the terrible repercussions of brexit were seen, people would start to realise. They don't. They just say it wasn't a proper brexit or they blame the EU. Anything but the thing itself

@karolcummins I'm going to replace my Harris-Walz signs with a big sign that just says "WE WARNED YOU".

As Donald Trump readies to return to the Oval Office, U.S. retailers that depend on foreign suppliers are prepared to pass along the cost of his proposed import tariffs to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices for a range of products. cbsnews.com/news/trump-vic…

@austinrathe @JoshEakle UK business here🙋 Can confirm that that ball is already in motion and have already been contacted about air freighting. I think this is going to be a much bigger problem then people realise.

So it begins. MAGA is about to find out how tariffs actually work first hand.

@MillerStream Your mum should have swallowed
