We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!

Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence.

Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is a goddamn nightmare.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Listen to this. I wish in the UK we were so eloquent and powerful.

Whether we rejoin the EU or not this is a clear indication of the way forward. Those middle powers together are strong.
Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos reportedly received a standing ovation.

The speech marked the end of an era.

It will no doubt be looked to as part of the historical record of the end of the transatlantic rules-based international order.

I do not want to ban X or any other site.

I do want sites that do not comply with the law to face sanction, that could ultimately lead to banning if they do not put their house in order.

This is pretty much how civilised society functions. /1

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment.
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

I am wondering when and if a Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson will pop up amid all this murdering off Venezuela.

If Thompson is unfamiliar to you, look up My Lai.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Truly shocking and frightening.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
