Are Labour really going to try and tie current economic damage (and hence the need for further tax rises) to Farage and to Brexit, whilst at the same time insisting that persevering with Brexit is the right thing to do?

That feels like gaslighting of the very highest order.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Yes solidly left but Zack Polanski with his made up name and dodgy boob story puts me right off.

I voted #Labour all my life. I always felt like I was on the side of the goodies. Kier Starmers #genocide supporting government makes me sick, any decent party would demand justice for #Gaza

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.

Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Remember- they want you violent.
They know how to handle you when you turn violent.

If you want to fuck their shit up, embrace pacifism.

They literally don’t know what to do with thousands of people peacefully standing in their way.

When getting arrested, go limp.

Whenever I get sad about the state of the world I look at this face and all seems right for a moment, where would we be without dogs! #DogsOfBlueSky #Skydogs #RescueDog

Billy Ruffian has gone from doing the wall of death round the house to a basking in front of the fire hound pretty quickly, he was suspicious of the stove to start with but now he's loving it. #DogsOfBlueSky #RescueDog #SkyDogs

What an utter disaster for our country. Why aren't we learning from the horrific things that are happening in the USA? And why aren't you highlighting this? What sort of deal has Murdoch struck with Farage?

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”
