He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

Six out of every seven children in the UK's most deprived areas living in poverty. Result of political choices - low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, benefit cuts, inequitable distribution of wealth. Future blighted. Govts listen to donors/rich, ignore the rest.

The oldest surviving victim of the Post Office Horizon scandal, 92 year old, was offered 29% of the compensation she asked for. Now receives offer of 60%. Scandalous. Why is their agony being prolonged? Pay them. No victim should get less than what Post Office execs have retired on.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

🚨It’s keeping me up at night. Gen. Tim Haugh led U.S. Cyber Command & the NSA—two of the most powerful surveillance agencies in the world. Trump fired him w/ no explanation. Your privacy & civil liberties are at risk. My nat’l security colleagues & I are very worried. You need to know this.

Trump told reporters that zero-zero tariffs were not going to happen, adding: “The EU’s been very bad to us. They’re going to have to buy their energy from us, because they need it and they’re going to have to buy it from us ..we can knock off $350bn in one week ” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Hinkley Point C manager accepted bribes, £11,000 quad bike and £2,000 tickets to a boxing event to funnel contracts to a UK engineering firm. Politicians have been doing this for years - donations, consultancies, gifts Must cleanse politics. Criminalise receiving/giving of political donations.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs. No impact assessment produced. A Wes Streeting recipe for privatisation dressed up as efficiency drive. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to the private sector. 30% -40% of money will vanish in profits. Money will buy less. Must resist.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
