I’ve just signed this petition calling out Evri for their shocking service & treatment of drivers. It’s demanding Evri review & improve their pay policies so couriers don’t resort to cutting corners & our parcels make it to the right place. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Evri-pay...
Evri, pay your couriers properly so drivers won't have to cut corners and our parcels will actually make it to the front door

Not only a warning about Trump, but also about Farage and Trump's Reform fifth column here in the U.K.

Are there no depths of untruth and divisiveness to which this Tory leader won't stoop to appeal to the far-right vote?

Great to have such an enthusiastic support for rejoining Erasmus from the Vice Chancellor of Oxford University on #t4today
No stupid questions about whether this was anti-Brexit.
Just unequivocal celebration of the chance to broaden our horizons again. A step on the road back to sanity.

Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me.

It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person.

And our far right politicians & pundits are cheering him on, of course. #r4today

Again these people aren't patriots.

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

Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Reform's 'no enemies to the right' reflex should be a huge electoral millstone round their necks as they're cosying up to fanatical white supremacists and neo-nazis, and that's not where the British people are ever going to be.

I saw this and had to check it wasn't faked or a spoof. Sadly, it is real.

Every time I think Trump has reached the nadir of decency and propriety, some hellish trapdoor opens, revealing a hitherto undiscovered sub-basement of obscenity and barbarity. ~AA

This country knowingly put evil in the White House. This great, good, decent country knowingly put someone who is evil in power. Americans knowingly voted for an evil monster. And so to remind you once more - this Trump era has never been about Trump. It’s always been about us, about us as a people.

This is very good. If Reform win the GE, it'll be too late for those who voted for them to say, like this disillusioned Reform member: "I thought they were going to come and change everything. And all they’re doing is coming in and tearing people’s lives apart.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...?

Ed Davey: "Quite apart from the irony of President Trump accusing others of trampling on basic principles of democracy, it repeats far right tropes of civilisational erasure, and threatens that the US Government will cultivate resistance in Europe."

What can Andor teach us about fighting tyranny? A lot, actually. Watch.

“It is now beyond doubt, however; that this assisted by the White House in its efforts to destroy Ukraine and that the United States has declared war on Europe under its appalling president”… and who does the US support in Europe? The AFD in Germany and Reform UK here.
Such grim betrayal.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Staggering - the effort and resource *still* being invested in keeping the Brexit shitshow on the road.
No one’s held to account.
No one’s fallen on their sword.
No one’s got the guts to really speak out.
So, on we go, protecting this huge and ruinous lie, because telling the truth is too difficult.
"The 2016 decision to exit the European Union has been nothing short of an economic disaster... It’s a bigger hit than if every bank, brokerage firm and hedge fund in London were suddenly to disappear." ~AA
👏🏽"The President and the Brexiteers share a fear of strangers... Trade, in [Trump's] view, is other countries draining our wallets. Immigration is other people stealing our jobs. International treaties are handcuffs limiting sovereignty." 🎯~AA
