If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

No sign of Reform here. The Labour split is between Corbynista's &Starmerites. The fallout will have a few days to run yet judging by some of the rumours over the weekend. It looks like the new group have nicked the Broxtowe Labour social media accounts.

If you’re struggling to decide who to support in this spat between Farage and Musk just remember that one is a nasty, ultra-right wing unprincipled multi-millionaire only interested in themself, and so is the other.

Last week I urged the SoS for DWP to reconsider denying WASPI compensation, pressed Wes Streeting for a social care plan, spoke out against river pollution, and checked on #EpsomAndEwell residents affected by the @SESWater outage.
