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.
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

Listen to these 'actual' stats:-
Not right-wing propaganda!
Welfare spending , including pensions, is LESS THAN 15 YEARS AGO!!
#Impeachment cannot come too soon for this narcissistic madman.
Hoping for the right result with fingers and toes crossed.
If this comes out for the best, as we hope, the last two criminals still standing, Trump & Putin, will have their necks on the electoral block.

Hey America, I don’t mean to brag or anything but our leader doesn’t talk about people’s asses during his speeches because he’s not a demented fucking moron.

Artem Koval, 12, has died after more than a week in hospital.
His 8-year-old sister, Arina, was killed in the same russian attack six days ago.
A brother and a sister. Both killed by russia.
And the world keeps looking away.

Congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection victory in Brazil.
Despite Big Tech oligarchs and Trump tilting the playing field against him, Lula prevailed.
He will continue to fight for Brazilian workers and democracy over the next four years.

In Detroit, @AbdulElSayed just completely demolished the Republican talking point that he's a "socialist."
"So at the end of the day, I believe in capitalism, and I want capitalism to work. So the way you address our rising prices and our stagnating wages is to address the power of a few corporations to raise our prices and address our stagnating wages.
"And then, given that we are in the house that labor built, every worker deserves a union in every sector of American life. And while we're at it, instead of sending our money abroad to drop bombs on other people and their kids.
"I would rather spend our money to build our schools here for our kids. So look if anybody wants to work with me on making capitalism work.
"I am looking forward to doing that if your vision of capitalism is that you give a few corporations a lot more money. And then pretend that somehow we have a capitalist economy. I'm probably not your guy."
