Reeves’ Fiscal Choices Tax the Billionaires! Nobody chooses or wants to be physically or psychologically ill. Life can be a bastard when you least expect it, applying equally to both the rich and poor, but the outcomes for the poor are far worse. Financial burdens only increase when you’re ill.

Trump comes up trumps with yet another out-of-brain remark. Give him some sand and coloured wooden blocks to play with. How dare you allow yourself to be added to a Signal US security list by someone else, Goldberg! www.cnn.com/2025/03/25/p...

Progressive transatlantic solidarity on Bluesky against Trump's regressive policies has been encouraging. US Democrats, Canadian Liberals and UK/EU Progressives share democratic and ethical principles. It might take time, but the US Constitution was designed to defeat demagogues like Trump.

An Irishman goes to America to tell Irish American immigrants, on a day that America celebrates their Irish immigration roots and culture and acknowledge how that helped build America, that immigration to Ireland itself… is bad.

How bloody dare Labour strip Charlie Muggins of his OBE!😡 Charlie patriotically supported this great nation by moving to Spain. He has kept the plastics industry alive in the UK. He fought in The Somme with Lee Anderson. He’s our Ron Stewart Our cockney Worzel Gummidge. Hero. 🇬🇧

Trump’s Multiverses Since 20 January, it isn't abnormal to go to bed at night and wake up the next morning believing the new day will be played out in a new multiverse. I should have listened more intently to my physics teacher’s lectures on Quantum Mechanics. It all makes sense now.

Compulsive Lying. Memories. The GOP must remember that lying requires a ‘fantastic’ memory. You have to have the ‘best’ memory. Trump has no memory, although he believes it to be ‘fantastic‘. Vance and Hegseth have ‘alternative’ memories. Most GOP Senators wish to have no memory of what Trump does.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Signal vs WhatsApp vs Telegram Encrypted End-To-End Messenger Services. Signal’s advantage over WhatsApp and Telegram is that it stores the least amount of data about you. Your mobile/cell number - probably most important to Trump’s cabinet. cybercrew.uk/software/wha...

Greed Greed is a powerful emotion. Greed is profit’s best friend. Greed drives capitalism. Greed satisfies shareholders. Greed prevails over safety, health, quality, environment and climate. Greed trumps sustainability. Greed will be humanity's undoing.

Trump selected a bunch of incompetent ‘Yes People’ for his cabinet, whom are prime examples of both the Dunning Kruger Effect and the Peter Principle. In summary: untalented, arrogant people are incapable of undertaking senior political roles. No surprise to anybody but Trump.

Price Gouging Shareholders vs Customers Governments of all colours and persuasions need to do much more - MUCH MORE - to protect customers - their electorate - from obscene price gouging of supermarket chains, energy suppliers and car fuel suppliers. Choice? 🤡 Monopolies, Oligopolies or Cartels??

US Supreme Court Executive Order Challenges. Many, if not most, political commentators believe the conservative majority in the US Supreme Court will side with Trump and his executive on all challenges to Executive Orders. Let’s wait for the outcome of the initial three USSC judgements.

I feel like this is getting lost. Marco Rubio has the power to ensure that data/evidence of potential Russian war crimes on abducted Ukrainian children gets to Europol. Instead, he is preventing this. Why? He won't say. Let's not let this one drop. newrepublic.com/article/1930...
