Very good move Ed. It must have been an extremely hard decision to make but Trump must be shown that most people here including myself are in total disagreement about Trump getting a second state visit here.

Is James Murray secretly a Reform supporter? #Labour
Ok so the question now needs to be asked are there actually at heart far right Reform supporters in the heart of the Labour party. Because the party's support of the actions of these mindless thugs suggests so. Indeed is #Starmer himself complicit. Far fetched? We live in very strange times
But didn't they learn the first time round especially after he'd openly flagged them off? Because second time round the majority of them voted for him
Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.
Trouble is Labour are desperately wooing him to secure a post Brexit deal.
Too many people could well be fooled again by the looks of it. So long as #Farage is allowed to completely dominate the political tone rhetoric due to the completely ineffectual responses from the other parties then his chances of seizing the keys of number 10 grow ever greater.
The #BBC is a far right promoting channel now. They have always loved #Farage and they even admitted that they want to redefine their output to reflect Reform supporters' values.
Exactly. They knew exactly what would happen. They wanted this current unrest and the whole of the country's agenda dominated with immigration issues...Look at the bigger picture and ask why...#Brexit #Fascism #Farage
Benefits? A big fat zero. Deficits? A hugely weakened economy, broken public services, a rabid fear mongering racist running amok inciting civil unrest who could well be the next PM. #Farage
The cowardice shown by Labour in the midst of Farage's fascist verbal onslaught is just mind boggling. No condemnation whatsoever. Do they even understand what kind of Britain #Farage is proposing?
Yeah great isn't...with Russia and the USA as permanent members.🙄 Other countries need to start boycotting this anachronism
Ofwat? What an absolute waste of space. So what will they do then...answer Sweet FA. Meanwhile we all continue to be treated as second class cash cows by these privatised gangster operations backed by the supine Labour government. #Starmer
No doubt they'll be proscribing anti Brexit groups and labelling them terrorist next...#Starmer is really just a small minded little Englander..
#Farage is utterly dominating UK politics at the moment and both #Starmer and the #Tories are utterly clueless in what to do about it. Yvette Cooper is utterly out of her depth as is most of the cabinet. A Reform/Far right Tory coalition awaits in 2029.
The far right coup continues apace. The pro Brexit fanatics well knew that Brexit would increase immigration not decrease it. Part of the reason is that Britain is outside the Dublin agreement. They can then in opposition backed by the media continually attack the government and gain in popularity.
He's even now condoning the far right flag raising campaign which is directly related to intimidation and hostility against asylum seekers. He is a pathetically weak leader
Trump is an out and out fascist, end of. Makes me want to puke the fact he is coming to the UK in Sept. 🤮
Ossoff: "Democrats need to strike back. We have no time or luxury for high-minded hesitation, because Trump and MAGA are going to do everything within their power to hold on and to lock in one party rule in America. That's the reality that we face."
Oh yeah right. Quaint little England cottages at £500k a pop no doubt. Yep that'll really solve the housing crisis. How very twee of you Guardian. 🙄🙄
The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans. Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.
Let's do this every day until it happens!
So Mr Starmer will there be any arrests over potentially inciteful placard messages threatening asylum seekers...? Think we already know the answer from Mr Farage's puppet in chief...#NeverLabour #Fascism
Oh. Jesus Christ....
What a bunch of sad fucks..
This is civil war. End of. Pitting Republican ruled states against Democratic cities with no other justification apart from a power grab. #Fascism #Trump
England: About £9,500 per year University tuition.(Around 11,000 dollars?)
Exactly the same here in the UK. End of the 1990s top executive pay was about 70 times average worker salary, now it is around 300x and getting worse. #ExcessPay
The Labour government is turning into ghouls. Heartless, zero compassion, zero idea of how they are anymore. Growth at any cost, whatever the resulting misery and death. #NeverLabour #Starmer #Fascism
But Starmer partly agrees with all this, he's been trying to court potential Reform voters since before the election. His remarks that Britain was "In danger of becoming an island of strangers" was a direct dog whistle to the racists. He's terrified of the press, he is now in Farage's pocket
Can anyone apply...?
What precisely is the point they are trying to prove...
Think I'd be buying a ticket home sacrificing the rest of my holiday in the US and go to a civilised country instead for a few days.
What the Olympics? Hopefully they'll have long been cancelled by then because lots of nations will boycott them...
He wants to destroy the US economy and remodel it for the benefit of the very few and enslavement for the majority.
Most of them voted for Trump I think...
First post I've seeñ of the day...think I'll just hold onto that and forget all the rest of the hideous events currently happening. Totally adorable...🥰
What on earth are you talking about. Stood down? Putin has increased his attacks massively because he knows that his lackey Trump will do exactly what he(Putin) wants him to do. #Ukraine
Should have said "Taking the Peace"...
Epsilon surely....
😂😂
Putin is only one leader and Russia is only one country but I agree, Putin has been rewarded for his murderous raw aggression. Up to Europe including the UK to continue to support Ukraine and increase the sanctions on Russia and ignore any US objections.
The likelihood of a major conflict with Russia on a much larger scale will have increased massively after little man Trump's total capitulation to his daddy Putin. What an utterly shameful day for the USA. Their global reputation is now in tatters. #Ukraine #Trump
Well done the staff at the Bull pub
Still far too many in the approval column.
Er...that state did vote for Trump in the last election, alot of its citizens still support him..
Excellent Canada, shows Trump's total delusion that the USA is somehow still the centre of the earth and that other countries are totally reliant on its will. Trump is too stupid to realise that everyone else will (apart from lapdog Britain) just move on.. #Canada
He would have allied with Hitler, not joined Britain, France etc..
Thank you so much for posting this brilliant article. Proves conclusively (if proof were needed) that Putin totally owns Trump and that European nations need to stop treating the USA as a reliable ally now, in fact as far as the Ukraine war is concerned the opposite could well be the case.
Trump gained nothing, but is he really bothered. Would he quietly wish that Ukraine no longer exists as long as his hero is happy. If a further emboldened Russia starts then attacking bordering NATO countries such as Latvia, would he commit US forces as stipulated in the NATO agreement...#Trump
As far as #Reform are concerned, #Starmer and #Davey need to work together to start eroding Farage's credibility.
How prophetic Orwell was. Have read 1984 over the last 40 years 4 times. Each reading felt more and more relevant to the world I am living in.
After his complete humiliation in Alaska Trump is severely weakened as regards Ukraine. He has completely exposed the fact that the US is no longer a reliable partner.
I'll give #Starmer credit over his Ukraine stance. Signing his name to this joint statement is massively important. Not sure that Corbyn wouldn't have done the same though..
Or a vicious Nazi tosser.
There you go. #Starmer appeasement of the far right continues unchecked and his party continue to descend further into the electoral abyss .
Problem is that like the bully he is he'll become even more vicious against his perceived enemies within the US borders...
Clearly Trump sees Putin as his ally. Europe collectively needs to stand strong and start seriously pulling away from the US. We are on our own now...#Europe
Putin's dismissive attitudes towards international standards and rights of nations to exist peacefully are clearly now shared by Trump's dreadful administration. Trump clearly favours Russia now over NATO.
Perhaps will Britain NOW cancel Trump's forthcoming trip to Britain. That is if #Starmer is really serious about allying closer with other European nations. Or is it happy to be America's gutless little poodle....
Unfortunately no. Trump clearly loves Putin a mass murdering war monger completely ignoring all international laws and protocol, no pressure whatsoever on Putin for a ceasefire and then Trump glibly telling Zelensky basically to cave into Putin's demands or else no peace. A dark dark day.
These fascists see anybody who doesn't agree with their vile outlook and policies, anybody who criticizes Trump or suggests his economic policies for example are way off as enemies who will no doubt be seen as "terrorists". Truly truly frightening.
Just makes you despair doesn't it. The opportunities Green based economies and modern technology offers could be incredible if they were allowed to flourish for the vast majority of the population.
I have to say that this is one area I disagreed with the late great Carl Sagan. I actually believe that Astrology does have relevance. I'm not quite sure (admittedly without seeing the program) the basis of the proposed battle between the two disciplines.
And of course privatising Healthcare will do nothing to solve this enormous backlog and could make it worse..
What an amazing photo. The contrast between Bella and the Blue Sky behind her is extraordinary l. Hope she doesn't stray too close to the edge...#Caturday
There you go. Reform not interested at all at making people's lives better, they just use their council successes to further promote their vile toxic agenda...#Reform
And the riders bridled at the amount of traffic blocking their progress.
He is a political coward who has no principles whatsoever. #Starmer
Brexit has made Britain weak and desperate. Other countries can now dictate to Britain what its economic and domestic policies should be with impunity. Time for Scotland and Wales to seriously push for independence from an increasingly fractured discredited little Britain. #Starmer #BlueLabour
Also Brexit never had anything to do with restricting immigration and everything to do with cutting UK citizens' rights. And Trump sycophant #Starmer is more than happy for this state of affairs to continue. We are heading for a very narrow minded autocracy.
So attacking the weakest in society is justified then is it? Yes Brexit is costing £40 billion a year so.....
And if Britain is as stupid as it was back in 2003 joining the war in Iraq, this time in 2025 joining a war against Iran, then the same result will occur. #Labour
No Mr Kinnock the only person helping Reform is Starmer himself. #Labour
Oh dear is there no end to the production line of Reform criminals...?
Er just a reminder that Starmer did a huge U turn before the general election with regard to his er "flagship" Green economic deal. He promised initially to pump £20 billion into it but then out of the blue with no explanation virtually slashed it all. Why was that...#Labour
No but people didn't expect the same from Labour in terms of proposed Draconian cuts.
I think we can agree on that one .. here's hoping..
Doesn't matter about the other 2 what they say. It's the PM of the day that is in the spotlight. I hope you're right about the investments bearing fruit come the next election,but electors need to see something tangible. The thought of a Farage led government is just too hideous to contemplate.
Agree totally on all of this. But if the positives a government are doing aren't being communicated effectively then the polls won't move.
Yeah he regretted it because of the outrage it caused and political fall out. Doesn't make what he said any better does it...
Exactly. Everyone understands that an incoming government needs time, but that same government's policies and actions are still open to scrutiny and criticism. Labour's cuts on welfare have hugely damaged them, as has their incomprehensible cuts to the green economy and cuts to foreign aid.
Dear oh dear
So that a Labour Prime Minister stating that Britain risks becoming an "Island of Strangers" isn't trying to ape the far right then...At worst he actually believes it, at best it shows horrendous political judgement and weakness. #Labour
Part of the far right take over plan that has been on going since Thatcher and Reagan. Ever more extreme policies becoming mainstream, the unthinkable becoming normalised and the so called "left" wing opposition trying to impersonate you to woo back voters. Britain is screwed big time. #Labour
incalculable damage to their image and the party itself. Their ethos of being a caring party of the people and a broad generous church is totally in the gutter. All to the benefit of #Farage and #Reform
But voters have to believe that a sitting Prime Minister deserves time. You have to admit that Labour look utterly rudderless at the moment. Their attempts at being like the Tories and Reform in their harsh rhetoric on immigration and disastrous policies then U turns on welfare have done 1/2
The good points have been overlooked because: 1) The negative points have been horrendous 2) The majority right wing English press's constant attacks on Labour and promoting of Reform 3) The dreadful communication channels of this government. #Labour #Starmer
I live in a city 100 metres from such a substation fire. Nothing on the scale of the Heathrow one but we could see the flames from our flat window. There was no explanation as to the cause...
Ok but where are the loopholes. Anybody who rules housing in this country always are catered for whoever is in power.
Britain has the worst housing stock in the whole of Europe. Developers are under no obligation to provide energy efficient homes. Profit is their sole motive
Absolute ghoul. She has to go. #Kendall
Yes he'll be leading the Tories probably...
This country gets more small minded by the day.
Who in their right mind would want to spend their hard earned cash in the USA at the moment as a tourist....Plenty of other nice countries that aren't trying to be a Nazi tribute act..#Trump
Yeah and who did Alaska vote for again...Er...
Absolutely. The way the disabled are being treated as political footballs utterly shames the whole body politic and the whole country. Labour are an absolute disgrace and #Starmer and his wretched ministers need to go
Bloody hell.
