If you don’t like what Trump is doing in America don’t let Nigel Farage do it here - take action - join the Liberal Democrats today: libdems.org.uk/join

@Telegraph Disgraceful! Call it what we all know it is!

📸 Elon Musk makes ‘Roman salute’ in speech to Trump supporters

@jonsopel @maitlis @BowenBBC @BBCNews @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK

Yesterday @BBCNews referred to the insurrection as an 'incident.' This must not continue. News outlets MUST call it out for what it is, otherwise I fear for where this will lead us. Have we forgotten already all that happened in 1930s ending in WWII? We MUST do better 😪

This will 'probably' turn into a bit of a thread. Apologies! I've struggled with staying on here given all that @elonmusk has done here & the US. As a media for news, journalists & stories I saw its strengths. I also saw too many downfalls with lies, disinformation & hatred.

@AndyGJBurge Hairstyle reminiscent of Susan Tully's in Grange Hill back in the day

@JonathanPieNews Seriously frightening 🤢😱

@EgwatuMadam @BladeoftheS Sadly not. Its real. America- what have you done for 😪

@BladeoftheS Please tell me this is AI and not real?

If only he were capable of growing the little mustache or speaking in public...

America, as a liberal empire, is no more. Welcome to a new era of US governance by oligarchy, where billionaire members of Mar-a-Lago decide US policy. And guess what? Protecting the European Union or the living standards of Europeans is not on their priority list! They don't care about post-1945 Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall, EU enlargement, our single currency. The expermiental steps we have made, away from our imperial past. These are far away things that mean nothing to them. Who will defend Europe? We are completely unprepared for this feral new world. Remember the 🇪🇺 is an experiment & has no automatic right to exist. It needs to be nurtured. Pro-Europeans will have to stand up and fight for something more than the EU we have today. A real Union, that protects, brings prosperity & stands up for its citizens in this new world. Trump will bring big change, but such historic moments can be opportunities as well. Choose activism over despair. Raise money for Ukraine, join a political party, stand for election. All of us individually as pro - europeans can make a small change to define our own future.

I said this a few weeks ago. And I’ll always feel this way about the 2024 election.👇

@mjfree A great many of us are asking the same question

The most hated man in the world outside of Adolf Hitler is about to become president of the United States… Again. What is wrong with us?

So on the pardon front, we have a day when an outgoing president feels the need to pardon lots of people who haven’t committer crimes, and an incoming president who will likely pardon lots of people who definitely have (Jan 6th insurrectionists).

Europe doesn’t need your hollow slogans or your brand of tech oligarchy. 🇪🇺 must be defended from nationalist populism and profiteers who undermine democracy, or risk losing the solidarity and progress that make Europe truly great!

@thetimes Genuine question: how many were non-doms so non-tax payers?

A record number of millionaires have left Britain since Sir Keir Starmer came to power and there are growing concern that Labour’s tax plans are exiling international investors and damaging the economy ⬇️ #Echobox=1737183360" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@dontbrexitfixit @GrahamTanner121 @AnthonyJLewis You lost me at that. Gotta be jam first, then cream...otherwise weight of the jam squishes the cream. Also sadly BTW an ex Tory voter & long time ex DM reader (about 30yrs since I bought one).

@GrahamTanner121 @AnthonyJLewis Cream first! Right on!!👍👌👏👏👏

I used to vote Conservative, every time, never questioning, never challenging. Based on my 'research' (reading the Mail), I was happy I was right. All that changed in 2016, I knew the vote to leave was wrong, by then I had not been reading the Mail for some time. I haven't 🧵⤵️2️⃣

@outdoorsmanning @dontbrexitfixit A revolting rag with a shameful front page piece.
