Honeymoon is over…Trump is finally ‘angry’ and ‘pissed off’ with Putin for not setting up his peace prize on a silver platter. The worst thing Europe could do now though is relax, Trump doesn’t have stable leverage. Take advantage.

PRESS RELEASE from @raparuk.bsky.social: St Peter's Square homeless camp, evicted 26/02, moves to Albert Square. RAPAR working with camp residents asks: "Why is MCR City Council refusing to find housing for homeless people before turning them out of their tents...?" www.rapar.co.uk/press-releas...

If this doesn’t concern you, you’re not paying enough attention. You can watch as the Washington elites shake hands and smile like nothings happened but we must not normalise this moment. Just as Trump begins on day one, the resistance must begin on day one too.

BREAKING: A Gaza ceasefire deal is ‘on the brink [of being agreed]’, according to President Biden in his final foreign policy address. There is said to have been ‘significant’ progress overnight in negotiations.

Great turnout in Manchester today at national demo for Palestine. Proud of this city! 🇵🇸

Beautiful bluesky over MediaCity today as the sun sets (yes at 3pm, welcome to UK winter people 😂)

Shabana Mahmood and Wes Streeting have ZERO right to put their departments to work to make the case against assisted dying bill. It’s a non-whipped vote, in other words a personal conscience vote. Ministers should not be weighing in and making it party political.

Back this 100%. How this hasn’t lead the news today is insane. Many wrote off this COP as an irrelevant one but it is the furthest thing from irrelevant for these small island nations feeling the effects of climate change every single day.

#COP29 BREAKING: $300BN DEAL AGREED COP President Mukhtar Babayev has just announced that the text has finally been approved - a $300bn/year climate cash deal for the world's poorest countries.

NEW FROM #COP29: $300BN FINAL OFFER It’s approaching 2am in Baku and the final draft deal has just been published, and covers how much developed countries should give to developing nations to help them tackle climate change. The headline figure is at least $300bn (about £240bn) a year by 2035.

NEW FROM COP29: Fiji Deputy PM is ‘expecting a deal tonight’, BBC report. Fiji is one of the many countries pushing for a climate finance deal from richer countries. The summit has already overrun by more than 24 hours. The collective of countries are pushing for a deal worth $500bn/year.

What Labour need to fix is their communication, they are well intentioned and I guarantee they do not disagree with farmers but the Tories broke trust in government. Labour need to make it clear their doors are open to people, and are happy to adapt as they gain better understanding.

Absolutely insane btw that people voted with the idea they were going to get an in touch ‘efficient government’ with Trump. It has been absolute chaos and the man is still 2 months from office. If you voted Trump, do you feel tricked yet?

NEW: Matt Gaetz has withdraws as Trump’s nominee for Attorney General. The pick was always going to be controversial but I don’t think even Trump expected the amount of vitriol from within congress. As I predicted, it was too much and Gaetz pulls out, maybe for his own good at this point…

NEW: Protestors gather outside Trafford council to oppose a Tory proposed motion to stop refugees living at a hotel in Altrincham. Lab + Green cllrs joined protestors before proposing and successfully passing a joint amendment to address resident concerns in a more compassionate way.

🎙️ Great learning curve today hosting my first Shock Radio News Show! Discussed Western missiles hitting Russian soil for the first time in Ukraine war, farmers protest on inheritance tax + more Full replay + video out tommorow

Labour are refusing to waver on their IHT position and I say good for them. This is not an especially radical government. It only appears that way because we have had 14 years of the rich lining their pockets. There are now small tentative steps to redress the balance - And they are outraged.

NEW: Trump has named former WWE exec Linda McMahon as his pick to serve as the next secretary of the Department of Education. Another w/ dodgy history, long known for her involvement in covering up sexual abuse in WWE in early 90s + named in new allegations this year. nypost.com/2024/10/23/u...

What a show today in Manchester! Progress always delivers, that main event was SPECIAL.

NEW: US President Joe Biden has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by US to strike Russia Big sounding change but Ukraine need the continued supply and training more than some permission. Positive is that it could open doors to other countries following suit.

Latest Trump cabinet pick is Chris Wright for Energy Secretary, an oil executive. He has: -Described net zero as "sinister." -Last year said: “There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.” -Claimed we've seen no increase in extreme weather events.

Hundreds of farmers in Wales today protesting outside the Welsh Labour conference.

The Democrats don’t have an immigration problem, they have a perception of immigration problem. The polls said nobody trusts them on the border. They have to change that narrative, but by actually changing the narrative, not just shifting to the right.

Bets on how long until Musk is ousted? 3 months? Tomorrow? 😂

Looks like leading Democrats want to stay out of Gaetz situation and let the GOP internal fight and not band together. Jeffries or Schumer will not want get in the way of GOP knifing each other over this. Will it work or not? It might just be crazy enough.

NEW: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has advised against releasing a report into allegations of sexual misconduct against Matt Gaetz, Trump's pick for AG. "I'm going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report…I think that would be a terrible precedent to set"

The crowd just before kickoff at the Stade de France last night as French fans protest Israel’s participation. As it should be. Let’s not normalise a genocide state playing football like normal. (Credit: leylahamed on X)

NEW: Doug Burgum tapped for Interior Secretary role, Trump announces. Many tipped him for energy sec position but looks like that will go to alternative candidate now. Burgum is highly rated by Trump, made final shortlist for VP before Vance was chosen.

BREAKING: Attorney for teenager at the center of Matt Gaetz sex trafficking allegations says "She was a high school student and there were witnesses." Calls upon Ethics Committee to release it's report which Miami Herald/McClatchy sources say is "highly damaging."

RFK is actually Trump’s nominee for Health Secretary. Absolutely insane. A vaccine denier, a COVID conspiracist, a peddler of misinformation and now potentially the next man in charge of your healthcare insurances, your food, your public health agencies and more. Buckle up.

First post on this app, an important one.
