Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.

The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

To help support PR, there are groups people can join. Here are some, I believe there are more…
@compassoffice.bsky.social
@unlockdemocracy.bsky.social
I believe @libertyhq.bsky.social does too ( but not sure)
There’s also a Labour group - but I’m not sure if they’re on Blue Sky

Calling Zelensky a β€œDictator” must be where the line is drawn.

It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Vance & Trump are both clearly enemies of Europe.

Which is fine. That will only make us stronger and force Europe to become what the world needs it to be. ✊πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

Yvette Cooper Rules Out The UK Signing Up To Giving Young People Free Movement To The EU "That's not the right starting point for us at all," she told Sky News.

Can we just stop the silly games and get on with the inevitable alignment with the EU?
Most of Britain wants it, and many of these young people would have been 16 or 17 at the time of the referendum and denied a say in their own future.

Economic interdependence

A definition:

The entanglement that exists between countries as a result of industrialisation. This can have many positive effects, but can also be easily disrupted.

Trump is destroying the U.S. economy whilst eroding its political influence & legitimacy.

Donald Trump names and shames people who won't be joining his Cabinet Donald Trump sent a message of 'out with the old, in with the new,' naming and shaming many of his former Cabinet members while honoring his new administration.

Trump has really lost the plot. Deranged.
