We’re all looking at you Kier Starmer. We’re waiting for action.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Britain must rethink its alliances. Trump’s tariffs threaten global recession, and his erratic policies harm UK interests. Closer ties with the EU offer stability and growth. Time to face facts. The US under Trump is not a reliable ally. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What is this?! WTF?! Millions and millions of high school educated people screwing in tiny screws into iPhones? Oh. I have a dream! These jobs are coming to America. Jesus wept. Beyond moronic.

Grim. Disgusting. Humiliating. There will be lists you know. People are watching and listening.

Interesting read. Rebalancing and reinvesting is a better, more optimistic answer but inequality has to be reduced to make it possible.

Good morning America! That’s the stuff. Real leaders are about “all of us”. This is how they talk. This is what you need. More of this! Come together! And damn straight. BRING HIM HOME!

Yes. Just yes. Water companies are bust. Pay shareholders exactly what they’ve made them worth.

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

And there it is for the world to see. The USA demonstrates where it stands, publicly giving succour to Putin’s murderous regime, and does so with a visible mark of respect, admiration even. Olympus has fallen!

The only sane and sensible thing is to ally ourselves with reliable friends in an unstable world. We do not need to be dealing with a madman in the US. Forget it. It’s burning.

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Crucial intervention from Meg Russell of the @conunitucl.bsky.social this week: the chance for meaningful Lords reform is crumbling before our eyes. There's still a chance to save it, but it needs to happen immediately with amendments at report stage. inews.co.uk/opinion/labo...

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

They’re losing more than the left of the party. They’re losing the centre left that reluctantly held their peace on Brexit to be sure the Tories were hammered.

The USA is like a giant casino right now. Being played like a one armed bandit but someone is leaning on it and ensuring those in the know are getting the jackpots. Corruption and cronyism. Daylight bloody robbery of its citizens. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-0kc...

What the hell? I knew there was good reason to not change my name. But this is just one assault on the rights of women and other minorities. More will follow.

I totally agree here that you don’t go on placating and talking to madmen. The world needs to come together, hold their nerve, sideline the US, and work to create stability without them.

This. All of this. Very much this. We can’t talk about Brexit and we must keep blaming migration because division. So we lose billions meantime, hammer the poorest, kill our public services and remain isolated at a critically unstable time. Enough!!
