Lord Keynes told us in 1941 how to pay for defence We should follow his advice. youtu.be/D8vt7hXlqZM?... If we need to pay more for defence the last people who should pay for it are those most dependent on the state. It’s the richest who should be covering the cost.

King Donald should take a lesson from King Canute youtu.be/42z5COInD_Q?... Donald Trump has declared himself King in the USA. He should take a lesson from history. King Canute of England, Denmark and Norway knew there were limitations on regal power. Trump does not. That’s why he’s bound to fail.

I hear Nigel Farage is declining interview requests. First time for everything, I suppose. I suspect he’ll eventually speak to whoever is least likely to challenge him properly.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

President Macron, "2 million people in Gaza" "You can't get rid of Palestinians and push them out" "They have a legitimate right to live there, to be recognised by everybody" "We have to respect the willingness of the Palestinian people to have a state"

Writing this with a heavy heart: the refugee citizenship ban is the single most unconscionable policy Labour has proposed since it entered power. It’s the moment that I felt my support for this administration begin to crumble inews.co.uk/opinion/colu...

Why are politicians talking about the destruction of Gaza as if it’s some random disaster? They know the truth: they spent 15 months rejecting our calls to stop arming Israel. Gaza must be rebuilt for Palestinians — and those responsible for its demolition must face justice.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

Trump talked about Gaza being the toughest place to live, Hell on earth, full of death and looking like a building site. While the mass murdering war criminal responsible and wanted for making Gaza those very things, sat next to him smiling. We live in a world of monsters

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Broadcasters who repeated this obvious bollocks are not required to make any correction or apologise to their listeners/viewers. And I saw at least two columnists making hay with it. They too will retract nothing.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.
