People are scared of the spread of fascism, rightly so. We have 🏴 elections in May and it’s essential to keep Reform out. The far right thrive on apathy and hopelessness.

Thank goodness for Trump ‘protecting women’ by shooting unarmed women in the face, kidnapping the mothers of dying teenagers and snatching helpless little five year olds.
Never forget Farage is Trump’s little lapdog.

One year into Trump’s second term, working people are paying more and getting less. Costs are up. Wages are down. Jobs are disappearing. Meanwhile, billionaires and Big Tech are cashing in. This is the real Trump economy. Read the full report:

There’s no doubt the harm sm is doing to kids while their brains are still developing but they are tech smarter than us and will find ways. I think regulation, consequences for tech companies and education need to be part of the solution.
From what Australian friends tell me - kids who wanted to, just got round the ban and lied to parents and guardians.

No one earns even a shred of respect by pandering to Donald Trump — he reads deference as weakness. If Starmer can’t withstand the pressure, he should make way for someone with the backbone to defend the UK’s interests against a tyrant in the White House.

Here we have the leader of an anti-abortion org claiming that ‘pills by post’ are to blame for ‘sex selective abortions’ (a baseless and racist conspiracy).
One problem, pills can only be used before 10 weeks when there’s no way of knowing what the sex would be, Genius 🧠🙄
