Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

Within the space of an evening Musk has gone from (just about) an ally of Trump’s to alleging that he’s in the Epstein files and should be impeached. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon suggests Musk should be deported. Just another normal night in Trump’s America.

🔥 Well said these MPs. This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza. Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

It’s always struck me as insane that clean electricity is tied to the price of polluting gas and oil…not just tied to it but charged at nearly 4 times the rate of gas per kWh. Hardly surprising that people hesitate before going to the expense and disruption of heat pump installation

The #r4today interview with Mel Stride follows the usual path. Every problem between 2010 and 2024 was the fault of the previous Labour government Every problem in 2025 is the fault of the current Labour government.

@newsagents.bsky.social podcast yesterday on Gaza and the deliberate starving of the population, including 1 million children, was both vital and unbearable podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/g...

The Govt’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” ruled out public ownership - a solution 82% of us support - before even starting. This review is a sham - but we still have a chance to be heard. Sign @labourlewis.bsky.social’s open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

When a conservative talking point suddenly becomes a widespread topic of conversation in public life, you can bet it's because loads of money has been poured into promoting it. Another crucial exposure by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social : democracyforsale.substack.com/p/us-antiabo...

Highly recommended conversation about neoliberalism and the politics of belonging: "If we don´t offer an inclusive belonging, the fascists will offer an exclusive belonging"

Ship collisions and noise are pushing whales to the brink–but there’s a simple solution. Slowing down ships could save thousands of whales and other marine life. Urge your leaders to commit to real ocean protection at the upcoming global summit! action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-6-...

3 additional eye-witnesses from the scene describe Israeli military fire in this AP article and 1 additional witness from Nasser hospital describes tens of patients with gunshot wounds and many more being treated: apnews.com/article/isra...

"According to three witnesses who spoke to NBC News, a tank fired on Palestinians crowding around an aid distribution center near Rafah." www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini: Aid distribution in Gaza “has become a death trap.”

This is definitely worth a second posting which hopefully Mr James O’Bien will read and hang his head.

Delighted to be giving the closing address tomorrow at the Media Reform Coalition. With the brilliant @sangitamyska.bsky.social who will be opening. It's now fully booked but @turnleftmedia.co.uk will be there during the day covering the action 👇🏽

Elon Musk allegedly took large amounts of drugs including ketamine while advising Trump – report

One afternoon in Gaza, two family tragedies: the childhoods cut short by Israeli airstrikes

I’ve seen the reality of the new Israel-backed ‘aid’ for Gaza. It’s nothing more than a deadly PR stunt | Eyad Amawi

Nigel Farage is voters' last choice to be Prime Minister - as he's branded 'political fraud' www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This guy went to jail for screwing over nurses and doctors at his nursing homes—taking $10 million from their paychecks to buy a yacht. His mom goes to a $1 million per person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, and now he’s pardoned. These are the people Trump looks after. Not you.

www.theguardian.com/environment/... Very disappointing again from Labour

A reminder that Farage said Tate was an important voice for men that would be this Tate who is facing charges of rape, ABH and human trafficking

Turkish government official has confirmed that Turkey intends to route future natural gas import payments to russia through Austria’s Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), following a tightening of US sanctions on russia’s gazprombank. b4ukraine.org/whats-new/ra...

“Maybe I’m part of a similar phenomenon…” Nigel Farage, July 2024. apnews.com/article/tate...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A Twitter exchange that says so much about the Reform/ukip/Brexit/rage mentality

Ahhh here comes Dominic Cummings, Sky platforming him to talk trash about Labour and Starmer and how he wants to help Farage to government… What’s the difference between Sky and GB News these days?

BREAKING: Israeli forces have killed journalist Moataz Rajab in an airstrike targeting a vehicle on Al-Nafaq Street in Gaza City.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

Our letter condemning the genocide in #Gaza and calling for an immediate ceasefire. A great crime is being committed, and we cannot stand by. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This should be reposted far and wide. The rank hypocrisy of Fartage and the right wing SM agitators is fully illustrated here thanks to Cold War Steve 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
