As a Labour activist I fought Hezza for years. Challenging 'Tarzan' became an obsession. But on Saturday he almost brought me to tears. One of the most powerful, emotive, pro-Remain speeches I've ever witnessed. A veteran Tory grandee savaging May and the Brexiteers. Devastating!
Michael Helseltine's speech at the #PeoplesVoteMarch shows up Michael Gove & Boris Johnson for the posturing, casually destructive clowns that they are.
God help us if either of them becomes PM.

To everyone getting their knickers in a twist…
All because @andyburnham suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement
…do you perhaps need reminding of this?

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told
@BBCBreakfast
Watch them all have a meltdown because Khan said it.

Right wing populists soundly beaten in Brazil & Serbia, hopefully the same awaits Netanyahu in Israel tomorrow & Trump's mob in the US next week. Perhaps the world is awakening from the delusion that strongmen leaders offer solutions, when in reality they only deliver problems?

Britain Is Broke.
Luckily Farage has 5 homes, the party he owns has £72 million in the bank and he was gifted £5 million either for his security or for bringing about Brexit which made Britain um… broke.

As midterms enter the final stretch, new poll shows
🗳️ Nearly half of Trump 24 voters are either “very” or “somewhat” concerned about corruption in the administration.
🗳️ Nearly half of voters overall think it’s been worse in this term than under other presidents.
🗳️ 54% says Trump/Republicans have made cost of living crisis worse.
Corruption and affordability becoming linked in mind of electorate a real ill-omen for GOP.

Reports today suggest that the Trump administration is pushing Viktor Orbán for UN Secretary-General, potentially with Russia's and China's backing.
France and the UK, I'm counting on you.
You both have veto power.
Don't let this happen.

This is obscene. MPs expenses need to be capped.
Many are taking the piss.

Farage - 'Brexit would not have happened if I'd not been born'.
Fancy that being your legacy and you're contribution to UK life, let alone gloating about it.

Sights like this are genuinely restoring my faith in humanity......

£72 MILLION in donations.
A vast media operation.
And still they can’t fill the room.
Farage blamed “staff incompetence”.
Sometimes the camera tells you more than the speech. 👀

They said Hillary was ahead in the polls.
They said Kamala was ahead in the polls.
I don’t give a fuck what the polls say right now. Get your ass out there and fucking vote.

Why should a 25-year-old deserve the freedom to work across Europe, but not a 55-year-old starting a business?
Or a 70-year-old wanting to spend more time with family?
Freedom of Movement isn't a youth benefit.
It's a freedom for people of every age.

One harsh winter and that’s the last of Farage’s base gone

Just a reminder that Trump doesn’t like Muslims who run for Democratic office, but he absolutely fucking loves Muslims who give him $400 million jets.

I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

What an absolute PI** take!!
Benefit bashing those who desperately need it whilst conveniently invoicing the tax payer with a £45k worth of expenses herself.
Biggest benefit scrounger going @SuellaBraverman ..you are a LEECH.
Let the poor suffer as long you're getting your bills paid by us!!
In what way is your use of water at home an expense related to your job?

There are rumours that she’s the source of all the leaks.
