Joseph Goebbels and Donald Trump both tried to steal someone else's Nobel Peace Prize.

There is a message there, and it isn't hidden, not even a little bit.

Ooh, I have been neglecting things over here! Since I last posted, we have said goodbye to our lovely dog 💔, I had a nostalgia trip to Germany, and Fascism has continued its comeback. So, swings and roundabouts.

Nine years on, Brexit is widely seen as a failure.

Most Britons would now vote to rejoin. Even Leave voters are turning.

Brexit has hurt the economy, businesses, and public finances.

The public has moved on. Time for politics to catch up.

Please repost if you support the #Vote4Democracy campaign to get the biggest possible number of people voting against Farage in the local elections.

If you're angry with Labour, don't help the fascists by abstaining. There are the LibDems, Greens, SNP, and Plaid.

Let's burst Farage's bubble.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.

Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.

This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.

Two tier justice indeed.

Any #trans folks in the UK who have dealt with HMRC online forms? Trying to help a friend who is concerned they will have to out themselves. Doesn't seem relevant to the point of the form, has anyone found a workaround?

Why do the people who work here and get a good wage, often for doing almost nothing, think that it is ok to claim outrageous benefits, and then demonise people claiming far less who actually need them to survive?

Donald Trump hasn't succeeded because he is clever or charming or a great political speaker.

He has succeeded because he has the relentless support of 90% of the American Fascist Media.

This is the only way Nigel Farage exists either.

Friendly reminder that we are all being manipulated by oligarchs. All of us. Never put your trust in a leader with incredible power ESPECIALLY if you voted for them. Ignore the hate and parties, ignore the media, talk to your neighbor. Love your neighbor.

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

The fake patriots of the right-wing press are drooling over the prospect of a foreign leader interfering in British politics. They are traitors.

The loudest patriots are so often the most eager to betray their country.

Last year's estimated benefit fraud: 7.4 bn

Benefit prosecutions last year: 655

Last year's tax fraud and tax 'failure to take reasonable care' combined: 33.2 bn

Tax fraud prosecutions last year: 344

Tax fraud and failure to take reasonable care by the wealthy 4 x higher, prosecutions half.
