Here's a Republican stealing a lectern from the Capitol when Donald Trump lost.

Really is a tough call. On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman Quite the dilemma

The top 1% of wealth hoarders in Britain have: £3,000,000,000,000 🤑 That's why your uni fees are going up ⬆️ That's why you've lost your winter fuel payment ❄️ That's why your pay goes down each year 📉 That's why bills are going up 📈 Tax. The. Rich.

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

Brian Cox, "Donald Trump is a monster.. He's crazy.. He's insane.. He wants to be a dictator" "The kind of nonsense he's been talking about in the last... I think he's lost it quite frankly.. I think he is deeply mentally unstable.. And I think he has been for some time" "This

America failed women tonight. Trump bullied, assaulted, and stripped reproductive rights away from women all across the country and instead of standing against it, many voted for it. We have failed our daughters, mothers, and sisters.

We can look for rays of hope, but the reality is this is a major tectonic shift in world affairs. Trump’s likely victory will empower Putin, Orban, Netanyahu and right wing autocrats everywhere. The world hangs in the balance between democracy and tyranny

I just seen a black man say “i didn’t vote for Trump…. I voted against Trans rights and LGBTQ people rights, High inflation and a Broken Economy” Trying to Hurt a small group of people as a BLACK person definitely shows me that you don’t want rights…. You want privilege! I

CNN call Pennsylvania for Trump. That's game over. And when I say game over, I mean it's game over for all of us.

Watching Trump do his victory speech. He is barely coherent, rambling, vague, all over the place. If you're looking for reassurance, it's possible that this man is too far gone mentally to sustained damage.

Elections have consequences. The Supreme Court will be changed for a generation. I’ll never see a moderate court again in my lifetime. Alito and Thomas will step down and Trump will appoint 40 year old partisans to the bench. The damage he is about to inflict on our institutions

Hopefully, Trump's victory will finally make Starmer acknowledge the utter folly of Brexit. It promised great trade deals with countries like the USA, China, and Russia. Well, Russia is invading Ukraine. China is becoming increasingly aggressive and is likely to invade Taiwan,

Wendell Pierce Wendell is absolutely correct. The Supreme Court will be highly conservative and highly partisan for the rest of my natural days. Never let anyone brain wash you. The outcome may be irreversible.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

The British government can embarrassingly declare their intent to "work with" Trump, but he has absolutely zero intention of working with them. He noticed Labour (rightly) campaigning against him and he holds his grudges forever. Forget the US. Turn to the EU – now.

Today 2 things seem clear - the urgency of closer ties with EU neighbours, & importance of distinguishing between autocrat & demagogue Trump, & those who voted for him. The rise of populism reflects a failure of progressive politics - unless we address that, no country is immune

A few days ago, Latinos were ridiculed, disrespected, and racially stereotyped at a Trump rally. Last night, 45% of Latinos helped to elect Trump president. Make it makes sense.

I swear I stepped into a time machine last night. Saw echobelly performing "On" in full at Electric Ballroom. Utter joy from start to finish. Sonya Aurora Madan sounded so good , 30 years just vanished. What a gig! What an album! Thank you for giving us all such a precious gift.
