Almost like it was deliberate.👀🤬🤬🤬

Meta whistleblower told US Senators on Wed. that Facebook undermined Nat. security to build a $18B business in China. Former global director at Facebook watched as execs provided the China Comm. Party‬ with access to the data of Meta users, including that of Americans. www.bbc.com/news/article...

'Man of the people' Nigel Farage has earned nearly £900,000 from his nine extra jobs since the general election leftfootforward.org/2025/04/nine...

Just another fuck you I'm all right Jack politician, he'd freeze your granny and starve your weans same as every other WM politician.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Privatisation = broken promises, households pay the price 📮When Royal Mail was privatised we were promised that the universal service obligation would be maintained ✂️Now Ofcom is consulting on cutting it Tell them NO - deadline 5pm today 👇👇👇 weownit.org.uk/act-now/usin...

POLITICS.CO.UK: Reform UK's short-sighted ambitions jeopardise British farming, prioritising cheap imports over our agricultural integrity and leaving farmers in the lurch. Don't be fooled by their dangerous delusion. - by Ben Goldsborough

Yes this Labour govt is financially incentivising NHS hospitals (with huge deficits) to cut patient care & game waiting lists. No-one can possibly pretend that giving unlimited financial bonuses to hospitals to remove patients from lists isn't fraught with risk. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The Guardian can’t help itself when it comes to taking a swipe at Reeves. Tesco’s made profits of £2.2 billion - they can afford to pay higher taxes to help the country recover from 14 years of Tory economic mismanagement.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

"Plastics recycling" is essentially a con. Instead we are choking the planet (and our own bodies) with #PlasticWaste and #PlasticPollution www.theguardian.com/environment/...

this really represents a disaster for the US. Further 35% cuts for CDC, NIH, FDA, Medicaid & Medicare

A hogg hole

Brilliant. Let’s turn up the heat like they’re doing to the planet! Ecocide and a ringside seat at The Hague is what they need.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

We can create a society that is more fair and just if those with the broadest shoulders - who also emit the most - chip in and do their bit. I’ve joined Greenpeace UK in demanding a one-off National Renewal Tax on the super-rich 0.1% in the UK with wealth over £10 million. act.gp/3TRMxfA

Over 600 reports from doctors & med students expose PAs & AAs working beyond competence - putting patients at risk. The NHS must act NOW: ⚠️ Halt PA & AA expansion ⚠️ Enforce safe scope of practice ⚠️ Investigate misuse on doctor rotas Read the full report: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...

Yep

The BMA has been collecting the harms the near-misses PAs acting beyond their training the illegal prescribing & ordering of x-rays 600 anecdotes begins to look like data www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/04...

Intrigued by this narrative that Britain has done well here. -10% is still v significant. -We're a big exporter of cars to the US which will be subject to 25%. Terrible for UK auto industry. -Even if we get a deal we can't avoid the major economic shock to global trade overall.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Making access to GPs easier without taking concrete steps to increase capacity feels very.much like a failure of planning. www.bmj.com/content/389/...

US Senator Chris Coons, "President Trump is threatening a NATO ally with military action" "It's insane" "The Danes, our close NATO allies are angry, upset and offended" "He's threatening the NATO alliance, he is threatening closest allies. It does have real world consequences"

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting accepted £53,000 from private health recruiter pre-NHS job cuts Despite Streeting claiming that recruiters were ripping-off the NHS. Donors invest, return is govt contracts. Must criminalise receipt/payment of political donations. archive.ph/KMpLk

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

MPs to vote on disability benefit cuts without knowing ‘full impact’ ABSOLUTE MADNESS given governments own impact assessment predicts policy would drive at least 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children How can MP’s vote for this now? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

EVERYONE IN UK PLEASE RESPOND

Time is running out! The survey portion of the Leng Review closes on SUNDAY (30 March). So only a few days to let the Government know what you think about PAs and AAs. Critically important that concerned doctors respond! Link in reply.

I also suggest an alternative route, a politics of belonging, in which political power and control of local resources are returned to communities.

Don't forget.

Selling off reservoirs, failing to invest, polluting our water – these aren't just acts of negligence. They undermine our national water security. In an existential crisis we might call that what it is: sabotage. In a time of national peril, sabotage has another name: treason. #sewagecrisis
