VP Vance had initially joked about the day’s events where Musk had called for Trump to be replaced by him - needing 2/3 of Congress.
3 hours later (midnight in Washington) Vance is compelled to stand by Trump. It would be good to know of the exchange between Trump and his VP in those three hours.

‘Strangers’ is such a strange word to use in politics.
Racism is often easier to understand in French.

Revelation by @jonsopel1.bsky.social about massive vote-losing Winter Fuel Allowance withdrawal.
Refused by Tories’ Jeremy Hunt but judged by Rachel Reeves an opportunity to ‘sound tough’

I joked yesterday on the coincidence that Pope Francis died soon after seeing Vice-President Vance.
With another leading Trumpite Congress representative Marjorie Lee Green gloating on God’s vengeance on the Pope in this way, you got to wonder was it a total coincidence?

Amusing take from NewsThump but just what pressure was brought on Pope Francis’s staff to force Vance’s grizzly visit?
And how will Catholic Americans respond in the wake of such insensitivity?

Advice to seriously ill world leaders - avoid meeting would be dictators.
Heaven knows how Vance got his meeting with the Pope yesterday - what threats were made etc.
But sadly it was too much for the poor old guy who from the picture at least was not happy about the meeting.

It was good to unroll our #TeslaTakedown banner - seen in pics- at the Nottingham protest to the transphobic attacks following the UK Supreme Court decision this week.
Over 500 protesting in a wonderful display of solidarity and opposed to hate.
Thanks to @nigelking.net for pic of our banner

We were out again in Nottingham, UK.
In solidarity with our American comrades to end Trump and Musk’s power. To do a #TeslaTakedown, to stop deportations, to fight in defence of jobs & services from Musk’s destruction and to #StopTrumpVisit
Solidarity #HandsOff #50501

Trump says he is coming on his state visit in September.
NOT if we have anything to do with it!
#STOPTRUMP #STOPTHEVISIT

We have to give solidarity with our American comrades in their battle to stop Trump. It impacts on the future of Ukraine, Palestine and all of us fighting oligarchy, racism and capitalism everywhere

We all need to hear the speech yesterday of #AOC in Los Angeles mass rally of the #FightOligarchy tour.
One of many rallies featuring important union activists from teachers, other public services and autoworkers.

Close to 50 @unison.org.uk Health Care Support workers out on the picket line at the QMC. Five initial strike days now started.
They have gone above and beyond providing clinical duties above their grade since Covid.
Time for recognition and fair pay!
April 10, 2025 at 10:33 AM
We’re doing it again next week!
Watching the #HandsOff protests yesterday lifted the spirits of all who champion democratic and human rights across the world.
We can’t stop now!
April 6, 2025 at 8:30 AM
After our 2nd #TeslaTakedown protest yesterday we are planning our third protest next Saturday 12Apr, 11am in West Bridgford, Nottm.
Watching the huge demos across the US yesterday, we can’t do anything less.
Solidarity with American workers, migrants and minorities!

We had our 2nd #TeslaTakedown event in Nottingham in UK.
This time over 30 people - talking with Tesla customers inc from California outraged what Trump & Musk are doing.
Fantastic street response. We continue to build international solidarity on this #HandsOff2025 day of protest.
April 5, 2025 at 1:00 PM
We are delighted to have people from Kansas on our #TeslaTakedown protest in #Nottingham UK! Next one tomorrow Apr 5 - details on image
Our movement is and has to be international if we are stop Musk and Trump
April 4, 2025 at 7:39 AM
Another protest today of Notts @ukfost.bsky.social today @ 1pm.
The opponents in Israel of Netanyahu’s war face a similar battle to that in the US agin Trump & Musk.
Both gov’ts contain fascists and can unleash new levels of state violence- only democratic resistance of their peoples can stop them.
March 30, 2025 at 8:45 AM
The labour movement must step up their opposition to Trump, their support for US federal workers sacked by Musk and for migrants cruelly being deported. Are you listening Prime Minister Starmer?
Cancel the state visit!
March 29, 2025 at 3:13 PM
We guessed how widely disliked Musk is - but the extent on the day surprised us. We’re repeating it next week
March 29, 2025 at 3:11 PM
80 people at various times joined our #TeslaTakeDown protest in Nottingham in the UK.
Car honking (requested) was at times deafening.
We are in solidarity with our comrades in the US facing wild threats from Musk & Trump.
March 29, 2025 at 3:11 PM
In a somewhat desperate attempt to undo damage of Starmer’s stupid invite to Trump to meet the King, now everyone who Trump insults is being invited.
Expect Trump-like escalation - riding in the golden coach? demanding appointed as Charles’s heir?
March 16, 2025 at 11:49 AM
Trump wants Putin to be victorious!
No politician - not Starmer, Macron or anyone can pretend Trump has any interest in peace.
Trump helps Putin destroy the democratic liberties of Ukrainians. He will do it in the US or anywhere.
He is a fascist.
For peace in Ukraine or anywhere means- defeat Trump!
March 7, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Wouldn’t it be an idea now to accept what @maitlis.bsky.social seems to recognise. Trump is on a mission to destroy any international accountability. And Putin knows they have an ally on that with Netanyahu
March 2, 2025 at 4:03 PM
Two shocking, possibly related events.
Musk calls for the US to leave both NATO and the US.
While Lavrov accuses Zelenskyy of being a Nazi and Ukraine of building a neo-Nazi state / trying to lure Netanyahu and fascists in the Israeli government further into an alliance with Russia.
