BREAKING: John Morales just went on air in South Florida and told the truth: hurricane forecasting models are underfunded and outdated. Translation: The U.S. government cut the budget so deep, even seasoned meteorologists can’t track deadly storms. You’re not safe. And they do. Not. Care.

Water privatisation was always stupid, wrong-headed, anti-public and destined to fail. I knew it, you knew it, everybody knew it. But the Tories cared more about allowing shareholders to gorge on our assets than any public good, economic, health or environmental. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tory strife continues it’s obvious Badenoch doesn’t carry any authority with her own party. Cleverly making his move Jenrick continues to ride roughshod over her with his self- promotion videos- he has moved to emulate Farage - vomit inducing

When Farage speaks out on immigration, remember the following. The Brexit he championed to control our borders meant axing the EU’s Dublin III deal which led to a no returns agreement. Result? 45k+ small boat crossings in 2022.

The public doesn’t like Brexit. Has anyone told the media? From the broadsheets to the tabloids, journalism is increasingly out of touch with public opinion. @jonnelledge.bsky.social @newstatesman.com @leedseurope.bsky.social @grassrootsforeurope.org www.newstatesman.com/politics/med...

Harvey Milk served his country in the U.S. Navy. He was an early and powerful leader of the modern gay rights movement. Stripping his name from a Navy ship—and doing so deliberately during Pride Month—is a shameful insult to his legacy & to LGBTQ+ Americans who serve. abcnews.go.com/Politics/heg...

New in PN: The real cover-up is of Trump's disordered mental state "Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes."

The UK aims to give Ukraine 10-times as many drones this year, an increase from 10k to 100k, as part of the £4.5bn military support the UK has pledges for this year. We've seen through the Russian invasion how important drones are - more so in the last week! We will also increase our own supply.

It's hard to talk about about supporting our #farmers without raising the EU. As Baroness Hayman points points out - the reality is agri-exports dropped by 21% post #Brexit. It's critical that the government gets the new SPS agreement with the #EU done as fast as possible.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

It seems that the UK media has been given a new remit. The 'gotcha' style of interview has embedded itself so firmly into the political scene, journos seem to be vying to make theirs the most haranguing. This govt is never asked about policy, just blamed for it by right wing naysayers for clickbait.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.
