Trump's apparent victory has 5 big implications for the UK: 🧵
1️⃣ It can happen here. He will back Farage, the Musk propaganda machine will crank up against Labour; the Tories will remould themselves into Trump-lite Islamophobes ...

There really is more LOVE than hate. We are disgusted by the hate & racism this week. Members of my family & lots of our friends are changing plans through fears for their safety. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE LOVE YOU.

We want to hear how you are feeling after yesterday’s protest?
I drove into work past a burnt out car, absolutely shocking.
How do you feel about what has happened in M’bro, H’pool, elsewhere?..
Many brilliant people helping to clean up today.
What are your thoughts?..

We are at a crossroads. We can either hold our communities together or risk them falling apart.
It’s time for community action. It’s time for good people to join together and take a stand. It’s time to hold on to hope.
