The arrest of 50+ politicians & journalists in police raids in Turkey is an outrageous attack on press freedom and democratic rights. The Turkish government must stop its attempts to silence pro-Kurdish and left-wing opposition. www.turkishminute.com/2025/02/18/p...

Companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines pocketed £3.9bn "excess profits” over the past four years after Ofgem misjudged their costs. Will we get a refund - no chance. Ofgem doesn't protect people. Need customer elected directors on the boards of all utilities.

Soldiers put an explosive cord around the man’s neck to prevent him from escaping, even though he walked with a cane. Israeli troops let the elderly man and his wife evacuate on foot, but the couple were soon shot dead by another Israeli battalion. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/18/he...

It's always fascinating that the only part of the political spectrum that seems to have any agency is the left. The poor centre and right don't make any choices, it's the left who shape reality (but also the left are fringe actors who are to be despised and removed from politics)

UK inflation rate as measured by CPI rose to 3%. RPI hits 3.6%. Price of food, energy, water, rents, internet, phones rising at higher rate, hitting the less well-off the hardest. Govts can control inflation - end corporate profiteering, but they hit people. Need people-centred policies.

It appears DOGE estimated savings are filled with errors...one contract listed as $8 billion was actually $8 million. $16.6B, not $55B saved so far. Still working on that tax cut. And only torn up and thrown away a few departments so far. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

HSBC made $32.3bn profit before tax in 2024. $26.9bn given to shareholders in buybacks & dividends. Jobs/branches slashed Banks fleece customers, engage in illicit financial flows; no curbs on profiteering, exec pay, dividends. Their profit is our poverty. Govt deregulated.

It would be extremely funny if Romania stands up to Trump and says "nah they're not coming out". Meanwhile...Starmer continues to give him a big thumbs-up.

There is a crisis of masculinity. In the past, a single wage earner could support an entire family in their own home. Now, two wage earners cannot afford a home or kids. This has achieved nothing for feminism either.

UK economy flatlining. 0.1% expansion in last quarter. Can't build economy without helping the bottom 50%. Redistribution is not dependent on growth. At the very least abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cut std rate of VAT, increase personal allowance by £1,000. Shift cost to th rich.
