Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A day that will forever live in infamy. Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters. It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe. Where it belongs.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

The UK needs to rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union. Always talking about a lack of money, it will give £42bn in tax, and a lack of growth it will give £250bn a year of that. It is stupidity not to do it.

Clean energy was a record 10% of China's total GDP in 2024, worth $1.9 trillion dollars. That's almost as much as the entire world spent on fossil fuels in 2024. This is the economic gold mine Trump wants to take away from Americans. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cle...

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

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.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.
