Can I have the French version please?

France: Let's tax those with over €100,000,000 2% to pay for public services UK: let's cut public services and over see aid to avoid upsetting millionaires USA: let's hand the reigns directly to the billionaires, and to hell with the rest Story: www.spottednews.com/politics/e25...

A serious day in UK & international politics & who do #BBC #PoliticsLive have on? Yet another Spiked/former Revolutionary Communist Party hack so loved of the media: Ella Whelan. Adding nothing but noise & contrarian reactionary cliches.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

The government has announced it will pay for more weapons and bombs by cutting support for the world's poorest people. A deplorable decision that will only create a more unstable and unequal world. What is the government doing to bring about peace?

In a world that seems to be increasingly divisive, the last two weeks have shown me that beyond the political rhetoric many organisations and individuals are working to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Tha mi air a bhith ag obair air an liosta-bhucaid agam airson àiteachan a tha mi airson faicinn mus tèid mi fon leac! Chan eil i ann an òrdugh sam bith. Dè tha air na liostaichean agaibhse? #cleachdi

Well done France! UK next please!

Inntinneach is bronsachail! Sasainn gu bhith a' cur casg air busaichean ùra nach eil gun eimiseanan.

America’s growing darkness: a timely warning to the UK "Living amidst chaos in the US, I fear a creeping regime reminiscent of 1930s Germany. Project 2025 echoes a history threatening democracy"

Let’s see if the Germans have the spine to actually do something about it. I certainly hope they do.

His followers are like, “Surely there must be some mistake, he said only THEIR lives would be ruined. I’d better message the president and let him know.” We’re in the denial and bargaining stage folks.

US basically turning into an extortion group Expect lots of money to flow back to US political donors, and ultimately the boss No wonder Trump got rid of the US’s anti kleptocracy unit. The whole thing is a racket www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United. That is how the UK works, you pay tax, the big people don't, and they get richer and richer, and RICHER.

I wonder if Scottish councils could turn down applications for new Tesla charging points on [insert adjective] grounds? To be honest, always thought it was bonkers that we're repeating the USB cable fiasco all over but this time with much bigger infra...

With more and more businesses across Wales realising the value of the Welsh language, there couldn't be a better time to shine a spotlight on fast and friendly Welsh translation service, Helo Blod wp.me/p8Mk4U-VAq

Another day witnessing the collapse of everything ... At 21.043°C, the global sea-surface temperature is now ranked officially as "gobsmacking bananas." This temperature is now less than 0.13°C from being in "uncharted territory." Stay tuned for more bananas!

If you'd asked me 5 years ago, if I envisaged spending the second half of my life fighting fascism, I'd have called you stupid. Now stupid and fascism seems to be quite all over the place

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland should be able to do things our own way. Decisions to work with other nations on shared goals are positive, if voluntary. What the UK is doing with the Internal Market Act is not voluntary, and while we can't hold a referendum, the union itself is not voluntary... 👇

Welcome to the 40 beheaded babies bullshit all over again.

🥀 Make no mistake - Labour’s disastrous PFI/PPP schemes left Scotland paying billions for sub par infrastructure. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 That’s why we scrapped it - saving the Scottish tax payer almost £8 billion. 😱 Now, rumours are circulating that Labour want to reintroduce it - no chance.

French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich

After Donald Trump attacked Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling him a “dictator without elections” who had duped the U.S. into coughing up billions of dollars in military support, Ukrainian politicians, officials and soldiers leaped to their president’s defense.

There's been (inexplicably, IMO) some debate over the source of Reform UK's growth in Scotland (e.g. a few unionists claim that the flow to them is from the SNP). Looking at the latest polling, that very clearly isn't the case. The story is the total fragmentation of Scottish Labour's vote:

A rise in immigration has benefited the economy in Spain. Right wing politics is about 'the economy' - it's simply racist. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Terrifying. "Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring that only the attorney general or the president, instead of federal regulators or bureaucrats, can speak for the U.S. when interpreting the meaning of laws carried out by the executive branch" www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...
