“When fascism begins to creep in around us…. Trusting your instincts, naming the threat and sharing your fears isn't just cathartic - it's empowering. It might even save your life.” No excuses. No equivocation. We call it what it is. And them what they are. Very good letters in @theguardian.com

Trump blames Ukraine over war with Russia, saying it could have made a deal. He accused Ukraine of starting the war and Zelensky of having only 4% support. Trump is wholly controlled by Putin. He has become the slavering Mouth of Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Boris Johnson: “The US under Trump is committed to a sovereign Ukraine” Trump: “Ukraine, you started this. Now Putin and I will decide this without you. Putin can have some of your land and we’ll have half your mineral reserves” Support Trump/Putin - be on the wrong side of history. Of everything.

This is almost unbelievably easy to do, which is why I've just done it. Closer alignment with Europe is an absolute no-brainer for me. Ending up as a sad little economic football, kicked around by Trump's America or Xi's China don't really appeal.

So – I got well and truly turned over by @newstatesman.com after spending time with them recording an interview for a podcast on academies and the schools bill. Really,really unhappy about this – I will never buy the magazine again - so thought I’d post a few thoughts.

Maybe we should introduce a tax on plastic hot food containers, used in takeaways etc., to incentivise a return to aluminium ones. The tax on plastic single use bags worked and there is no reason this won’t reduce use too. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A 10-year-old has a better plan for stopping plastic pollution than most politicians. Amaya Edwards discovered an Australian scheme that’s keeping rivers and oceans clean. So why hasn’t the UK adopted it?

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨 Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit. Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis. And all within Starmer's red lines. www.thetimes.com/article/8423...

Revitalising vaccine uptake is about education and honest, balanced explanations of how the immune system works. No medicine is perfect, individuals will have adverse reactions. We are the other side of the coin. But, population benefit is undeniable. www.longcovidkids.org/post/covid-1...

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding
