People will wonder where we went wrong, why is everything falling apart? But it's really simple, we have 'democracies' with no democracy, where the elected Politicians do whatever the richest want and nothing the voters want. The downfall has been coming for 50+ years.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

England's water companies dumped raw sewage in rivers, lakes, seas for record 3.6m hours last yr. Companies fleece customers, flout laws; damage health, destroy biodiversity and marine life to boost profits, dividends. Puny fines don't deter. Govts do nothing to protect people. Must nationalise.

We need to bring an end to billionaires buying our politicians and meddling with our politics. We only have a democracy in name. They don't serve us, as explained by @garyseconomics #PMQs #PoliticsLive #DisabilityBenefits

It won't be, but this should be a lesson to EVERYONE to not believe the right snake-oil salesmen on 'free speech'. How often have we heard the Trump admin and fanboys cry about free speech - yet here we have the White House themselves disappearing people for peaceful protest. Just horrifying.

THREAD: There’s a dire situation in Vietnam, at the largest Agent Orange spill in the country. When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/

I don't understand why Trump and Putin are meeting to discuss an Ukraine cease fire? Shouldn't Ukraine and Russian negotiators be in discussion? Why is Trump in the middle of all of this? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Neoliberal achievements. Higher homelessness, food insecurity, malnutrition, lack of good food/housing, fuel poverty, sewage in rivers, crumbling schools. Underfunded NHS can't provide timely care. Corporations making record profits. Rich got richer in a corrupt political system.

In the USA Health Insurance costs $14,000 a year, and for that you receive... nothing at all. That is just what you have to pay before you start receiving care. If you wait until you are sick... they won't treat you for any amount of money. That's what will come to the UK.

Why do the people who work here and get a good wage, often for doing almost nothing, think that it is ok to claim outrageous benefits, and then demonise people claiming far less who actually need them to survive?
