Trillion Dollar Companies announcing record profits because they are ripping off their customers and not paying their staff should be as criminal as shoplifting.

BBC News - Trump threatens tariffs on Apple iPhones and EU products - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... So yet another insider trading scam from the crims in the whitehouse? Billionaire mates get tip off to sell stock high, then tariff scare, shares fall, insiders buy back cheap, easy money.

You wouldn't know it from today's newspaper front pages screaming "betrayal", but new YouGov polling finds that 66% of British people now want the Government to deliver a closer relationship with the EU, compared to just 14% who don't

The language of “experiment” is a direct take up of the far right anti-Soros propaganda used by Orban and co. The subtext of this propaganda is that the Jews and WEF capitalists are doing away with the white ‘race’ by forcing mass non-white immigration on Europe. Starmer should be deeply ashamed.

If anyone doubts Farage’s endless ability to shift and reshape the contours of British politics, I’d invite them to watch Keir Starmer’s speech today or read the accompanying documents.…

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Anyone reading the text is likely to make the comparison, incl. Starmer. So why say if you don't mean it? Is it a dog whistle to Reform, with (barely) plausible deniability to progressives? This was RW bullshit. Blue Labour = conservative.

Politics should not be a competition to see who can hate ‘others’ the loudest but how we are going to make everyone’s lives better.

Keir Starmer in happier days on the 'island of strangers ' when immigrants were a jolly photo op & not an excuse for every crappy thing that happens to a nation more committed to extreme capitalism than the welfare of it's people .

Please repost if you agree that anyone who has taken Russian money should be barred from public office.

If Congress valued the Constitution, it would impeach Trump for bribery. The Constitution bans US officials—explicitly including POTUS—from accepting things of value from foreign govts. Ben Franklin famously gave up a gift from France as ambassador. US institutions now see blatant bribery as ok.

The way to beat Reform is to: be BETTER than them, more honest than them, have real solutions they don’t have. Not to try and BE them! Their voters (a national minority) don’t want Reform lite from a party they hate. But the rest of us want true thriving policy from grownups with integrity.

An inconvenient truth for #Labour: #NHS privatisation is entirely un-evidence based and the public has never agreed to it. In fact, all evidence is that #privatisation is: 1) more expensive for taxpayers, and 2) has worse outcomes for patients

Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be. Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be. So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room? It can’t.
