The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Trump is just a bully and fascist, plain and simple.
This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If Starmer believes that "Brexit is settled," then he is a fool. In the post-imperial period, Britain has only once been a lone trading nation outside the EU, during the 1960s. We ended up the "sick man of Europe." Is that his ambition for our country?
