The UK’s Stop Trump Coalition has released a statement on the day of Donald Trump’s second inauguration – 20 January – pledging to “mobilise in our thousands and our millions”. It has been signed by more than a thousand grassroots campaigners, trade unionists, climate activists and others.

Unfortunately, the original Trump baby blimp – whose images were shared around the world – may not feature. It currently resides in the Museum of London

One difference for me this time around is that I don’t put much stock in liberal-led protests anymore. The Pussyhats didn’t protect our abortion rights, and the co-opted BLM movement didn’t defund the police.

Hopefully they can bring it out of retirement, that blimp really seemed to piss off Donald and the Trumpettes
