This White Ribbon Day, #ItStartswithMen. Preventing #vawg it not only a women’s issue. We need men to stand up to ‘every day’ sexism & misogyny.
Wherever you are, you can be an ally to women by refusing to stay silent. This is how we affect real change this #WhiteRibbonDay.

You have to be one evil son of a bitch to starve millions of children.

Some positive news when the world seems so bleak: The UK overwhelmingly supports Ukraine defeating the russian invasion. Even now in 2026.
Twitter is not real life, it’s a cesspit. In reality, people are much better. Most people are good.

Russia lost 54,200 troops (killed or wounded) in October, the first month of the war over 50,000.
For their efforts, Russia has gained no net ground in October.
This is the most pointless war in the history of wars. Great job, Putin.

So true.
And what he could not say, because he is too polite, is that Vance is utterly dishonest, untrustworthy, and unscrupulous.

BREAKING: Neil Young has just sued Trump for playing "Rockin' in the Free World" at his rally in Ohio.
The lawsuit states:
“In short, the Song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for.”
Thank you Mr. Young!

More prominent people saying this so plainly can only help. But action is still required to stop this catastrophic and treasonous turn.
"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim."

Why are Elon Musk and other billionaires flooding the airwaves with Islamophobic ads against Abdul?
Because they have nothing to say about the issues that matter to working people: healthcare, climate, AI and foreign policy.
WE WILL NOT LET THEM DIVIDE US

Kemi Badenoch claims £39 400 per year for her personal expenses.
Suella Braverman £45,000 for water bills alone.
Esther McVey, where do we start.
It's MPs expenses that need to be curtailed. It's absolutely obscene what some of them are claiming.

The Trump administration is considering dropping sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, run by Kirill Dmitriev. An unbelievable betrayal of Ukraine. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/po… via @NYTimes

If the European Union is good enough for 27 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK?
If the EEA/Single Market is good enough for 30 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK?
If Reciprocating Freedom of Movement (the 4 freedoms) is good enough for 31 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK?
If the/a Customs Union is good enough for 28 of our nearest neighbours, why not for the UK?
If the Schengen CTA is good enough for 30 (soon to be 31) of our nearest neighbours (inc our own British Overseas Territory), why not for the UK?
If a closer, more convergent relationship to the EU27 is good enough for all - apart from Russia & their new bedfellow - shown in @JohnRConstable 's schematic below, why not for the UK?

The BBC owes a similar apology about brexitism and Nigel-lyin'-Farage.

Badenoch says re Brexit "the UK doesn't want to re-run it, and the vote to leave the EU should be respected".
So out of touch with the people in the UK. #PMQs
