They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too.

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.
He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year.

‘Reforming’ or leaving the ECHR…A raising of false expectations, based on populist dishonesty.
A demonisation of immigrants to mask the failures of government.
Lies about sovereignty.

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
