Lisa Carol Kirkham 1959-2025

It’s a year today that we lost my lovely friend and wife, she of many names and aliases (Judy, Lisa, Lise, Lady Berners, Yaya…), boundless enthusiasm and endless imagination. I m waiting for a Peacock butterfly to appear in the garden to remind us she’s still around, somewhere! RIP my love. ❤️

Such diplomatic and wise words from POTUS on the Ukraine invasion issue: “Now, if for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we’re just going to say you’re foolish. You are fools, you horrible people”. Am I glad we have such an articulate leader?

And I’m not talking about all the ‘yes’ men and women he has installed as his fall-guys, I’m talking about the real power and intelligence behind the fake throne. And how come nobody is suing him for defamation of character? Or can’t you sue the President of the United States?

It’s quite clear that Trump is too stupid to single-handedly orchestrate as much legislation as he has signed off over the last 100 days. It was obviously planned in some detail well before the coup. So who’s pulling the strings here? Any names we can check out?

Last week, small farmers from Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary & Austria protested against a toxic trade deal. 👨‍🌾 🚜 This shady deal would flood Europe with cheap imports grown using pesticides so dangerous they’re banned in the EU—putting their livelihoods and our food safety at risk. ☣️ ☠️ ⬇️

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump
