Wake up @UKLabour @ShabanaMahmood @bphillipsonMP

I've written this open letter to @Keir_Starmer & @wesstreeting because, though I am desperately worried about NHS patients over the next 5 days, I know this strike by resident doctors is a desperate act of last resort. Please read.

Ever wonder why you can eat bread, pasta, and cheese every day in Europe — and still feel better than you do in America? It’s not about eating less. It’s about eating food that isn’t poisoned. Here are 11 American foods banned in other countries:🧵 1. Bread (made with

Why do Americans put up with Trump? It’s clear he and his team are one beer short of a six pack. He’s making the US the laughing stock of the world but no one is laughing.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. Of course we have a trade deficit—we will always buy more from other countries than we sell to them. That's what happens when you’re wealthy: you consume more. The only way to “fix” this would be to make

🇺🇸Dear Americans 🇪🇺 Since some people think that Europeans hate you and therefore don't buy your products, I would like to correct that. Yes, we are surprised at you, that's right! Yes, we also shake our heads. But hate? No! The problem with your (1/9) #tariffs #blackmonday

Tariffs don’t work and benefit no one or any country.

A sobering message from a history teacher: I’ve spent years teaching American and international government — from strong democracies like the UK to authoritarian regimes like russia and China. But lately, the most alarming lesson comes from home. 1/n

🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE: Donald Trump, the sitting President of the United States, questions NATO's commitment to America, despite the fact that NATO came to our aid when Article 5 was invoked after 9/11. Make sure everyone sees this. https://t.co/jDXMFMVzZ0

Whatever your political persuasion it’s clear the US is in a mess. Polarised, very angry with extreme and distorted views. Now increasingly isolated, less trusted and less influential on the world stage. This does not bode well for the future.

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth: December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia. February 2014, Russia invades

Petition: Don't change inheritance tax relief for working farms

How about putting convicted criminals who are not a risk to good use? There’s plenty of communal work that needs doing that would benefit all parties. It would also empty the prisons and prevent offenders being sucked into the criminal world @ShabanaMahmood

Irrespective of the GE result how refreshing is it that within 24 hours results are declared and government changes hands. No bitching and whining and claims of a rigged election. No drawn out government handovers @BBCr4today @amolrajan @peston

I hope @UKLabour don’t make the mistake of believing their probable landslide win is down to their popularity. @Conservatives made that mistake at the last election when in fact in both cases it’s due to voters dislike for the losing party. @amolrajan @peston @BBCr4today

Not one party has a plan to resolve the Drs strike. Until that’s sorted the NHS will continue to under perform. @Conservatives @UKLabour @LibDems

Don’t ya just love the IOM TT?
