The Tories and Reform want to keep us tied to fossil fuels we don’t control.
Labour’s clean power mission will bring down your bill, protect our energy security, create thousands of new jobs and tackle the climate crisis.

Hillary Clinton accuses Trump administration of Epstein files 'cover-up' in BBC interview bbc.in/3MNHpZt

Brexit broke Britain and the only beneficiaries are our enemies. We are weaker economically, diplomatically and morally.
But the grifters don't care. It is in their interest to break Britain it helps their electoral prospects.
Starmer needs to sign a Customs Union and sort it.

Brexit was a gift to the Kremlin and a betrayal of the UK. It did exactly what Russia and China wanted. By choosing to divide and weaken Europe, the architects of Brexit traded national security for a lie. It was a strategic disaster for the entire West

Unemployment in the UK rose to a five-year high in the three months to December as the labour market continues to weaken. The number of people on payrolls dropped by 134,000 in the year to January.
The unemployment rate rose to 5.2% in the three months to December, up from 5.1%. Unemployment was 4.4% when Labour took office July 2024.
There are now just shy of 2m unemployed in the UK.
In addition there are around 5m of working age who are not working but claiming various welfare benefits who do not show up in the unemployment figures because they are not looking for work.

@LizWebsterSBF Mince, in the post war world we didn't believe the lie that women can have a penis. This is the woeful dissembling tripe blow hard jesters like Bragg peddle as "insight"
English
👏 Billy Bragg nails the bigger issue.
If US support is conditional on following their values, we need to ask: which values?
After WWII we built a world around universal rights. Now we’re hearing might is right.
That’s regression.
Europe must stand firm on universal rights not drift towards Trump’s transactional worldview.

@BBCNews Says the clown that can't stop rubber boats landing, gives away strategic assets to an enemy and turns his back on industrial scale abuse of girls for political advantage. Some brass neck

“He’s a bully… They stole our lunch money one time, we caved… why are we surprised that he did it again”
Liberal Democrat Layla Moran likens Trump to an “international gangster” that will only respond to “strength”, and “this is not the way grown-ups behave”

Never forget these images Farage ... we won't let you... "a little off the frontlines"...

@JohnCleese Why not he is losing the war to him, easier all round, but not sure he wants to

@bbcquestiontime No Emily would far rather all our servicemen were proseuted

“How dare he say we weren’t on the frontline, how dare he?”
Labour’s Emily Thornberry says Donald Trump’s claim European soldiers in Afghanistan avoided the frontlines was an “absolute insult”, and is “proud” the UK helped stand up to him over Greenland

@TimesRadio @simon_schama If he destroys the EU, which is doing a good job of that all by itself, then the Donald is very much an ally
English
“America is no longer an ally.”
Sir Keir Starmer must recognise the “stiff dose of reality” that Trump has “set has marks on destroying the European Union”, says historian Sir Simon Schama.

@burnerstreaming @afneil Yeah all armed with broomsticks and as for what the Donald has got you don't know yet but he got a great deal of fun taunting Europe and I got a lot of laughs

@metimwright @afneil NATO without the US has about 1.5 million military personnel.
Trump hasn't got anything, other than what he already had.
English
NATO has no power to negotiate any of Greenland’s sovereignty.
Annmarie Hordern@annmarie
New York Times: The announcement followed a NATO meeting where top military officers from the alliance’s member states discussed a compromise in which Denmark would give the United States sovereignty over small pockets of Greenlandic land where the United States could build military bases, according to three senior officials familiar with the discussion.

Imagine being Marco Rubio - having to sit through Trump’s speeches hour after hour day after day in every cabinet meeting, private meeting and public address….

@carl_stein_ @DanielJHannan Imagine if your head wasn't covered in bacofoil
English
@DanielJHannan Imagine if the lies funded by Putin which caused Brexit didn't happen?
How much stronger would Europe be now?
You feel guilty yet? Willing to admit you're wrong yet?
English
Nato ruined, Russia and China jubilant, the separation of powers forgotten, the world order teetering on its foundations.
And all for what? To drink liberal tears? To flatter the ego of a vainglorious manchild?
God forgive us.

Speak softly and carry a big stick. Keir Starmer and Mark Rutte did so - testimony probably to 00s of hours diplomacy by people with brains (and intact nostrils) 💥💥💥 "just rejoice at that news and congratulate our PM and the (Danish) Marines" ...
