Trump’s Egg Plan: America Last? Egg shortages are crushing U.S. farmers, and instead of investing in biosecurity or supporting local poultry, Trump’s USDA plans to import millions of eggs from Mexico, Brazil, and Poland. Nothing says “Make America Great Again” like outsourcing breakfast.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

At it's peak usage in the 2000s the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp held 780 detainees. How the hell are they going to house, feed and keep 30,000 "high risk immigrants"? I mean it's absolute bollocks.

WARNING - Labour isn't Labour anymore. Starmer and Reeves only care about installing the Tories corporate political model of governance which involves carving up the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignties. My latest article on Substack open.substack.com/pub/european...

Political donations are institutionalized bribery. Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power. Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

This is exactly why those suggesting Starmer's government can somehow appease or ingratiate themselves with Musk are deluded. He's a danger who is deliberately spreading misinformation in order to stoke violence. He should be treated accordingly www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/give-musk-...

Donald Trump's new grift: $2 bills printed by the "CSN Mint" (Cable Shopping Network) for up to $30 each. I don't care how loyal-slash-stupid his hardcore MAGA followers are; how can anyone not see that trading 30 real dollars for two fake ones is a bad idea?! #DonaldTrump #Trump #uspoli #USA #CSN

Uk governments seem to love US health care systems. So wonderfully profitable for investors, and devastating for people that can't get or afford private healthcare. Our current health sec Wes Streeting and other MPs are financially invested in them !

Democide in our times In England 300,000 people a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment. Govts find money for wars, corporate bailouts/subsidies, tax cuts for the rich but neglect healthcare. Old, poor sacrificed to the gods of neoliberalism. Casualties of class war. archive.ph/NWX2g

Affordable housing starts in London dropped 88% in the year to March, from 26,386 to 3,156. Local authorities and housing associations starts dropped 75% in the year to June. Lack of affordable housing causes homelessness. Putting profits and ideology before people causes misery. archive.ph/5mtZO

We're nearly at the first full calendar year-end of the Gaza war. The normalisation of both (i) the enormous bloodshed (ii) and journalists still not being allowed in by the Israeli govt to report as to what's happening have been some of the grimmer features of the year.
