I gotta say, “women are going to space” sounds a lot nicer than “the ultra rich are taking hyper-polluting joyrides to space while the planet descends into climate chaos”

In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'

How utterly totally depressing!

So they should. Labour came to office promising change, but have largely delivered more of the same austerity for the poorest and the disabled, and more of the hateful language too. No one who thought Starmer would be a sea change from the Tories should be voting for them again. #r4today

A very depressing article by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social - depressing because it’s true and the path we are on makes it likely that we will see Reform get closer and closer to power.

This would get my vote everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday!. Come on Ed, do it!. Watch how many people follow you!.

So very true. But governments in the lay of these corporations will Never fight back and things will get worse for us all.

Anyone up for a quick game of "Spot the Doormat"? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Ursula von der Leyen, “We will approach these negotiations from a position of strength. Europe holds a lot of cards" “Our hallmark is not just that we are the biggest market in the world, but that we are reliable and predictable. We honour our commitment”

Reproductive health provider Planned Parenthood said on Monday the Trump administration would cut federal family planning funding as of Tuesday, affecting birth control, cancer screenings and other services for low-income people.

MPs to vote on disability benefit cuts without knowing ‘full impact’ Unless the government legally forces companies to employ long term sick & disabled people within their £1bn package to “help” them into the workplace then there will be no jobs waiting in the sunny uplands… Inhumane and cruel!

I remember when the likes of Farage would say that he wanted to end free movement of Europeans in part because it was terribly unfair on would be migrants from the rest of the world. Well, he got what he asked for. #r4today

Carelessly leaked messages between Trump’s inner circle show all too clearly who they regard as their country’s real opponents

Starmer is warned against ‘appeasing’ Trump with tax cut for US tech firms. Must not appease Trump. UK has not retaliated on steel tariffs, So Trump is back for more. Makes no sense to appease Trump while cutting disability benefits and public sector jobs. Act in unity with the EU.

So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled

Keir Starmer to unveil drastic disability benefit cuts despite opposition The “moral and economic case” for reforming benefits says Downing Street. There is no “moral” case EVER for taking benefits away from those in society who need them most. Cruel & heartless - playing to the right wing media

With the world the way it is today, the fact that the UK Government insists on sticking with Brexit red lines that only cause pain for everyone involved is completely bonkers. The Trump-Putin axis creates the necessity and opportunity for the UK to rejoin the EU much sooner, just do it Starmer!

Starmer decries ‘worst of all worlds’ benefits system ahead of deep cuts It beggars belief that a LABOUR government would punish the poorest and most disadvantaged in our society but not even consider higher taxes for the super wealthy. I am outraged.

What sort of country are we turning into? What happened to supporting and including everyone in society?

I think if Andew Neil were honest he would admit that his impulse to give Trump the benefit of the doubt was driven in no small part by how annoying he finds the people who were ringing alarm bells about him. Sanewashing to own the libs.

Labour MP warns party of ‘uncanny’ parallels with Germany’s defeated SPD Whatever happened to “when they follow, we go high!”?

Fact-check: True

Lets have a competition. If you think Rupert Lowe is a corrupt hatemongering billionaires puppet, Like. If you think Nigel Farage is too, RP.

Let’s shout this loud & clear so maybe President Trump will hear it. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

“If You Can Kill 20 Million Native Americans, Enslave 12 Million Africans, & Let Biden Fund the Slaughter of 40,000 Women, Children & Elderly….Of Course You Can Install a Rapist/ Felon/Fascist as your President! In the Meantime, Breathe, Take Care of Yourself, Read a Good Book.” - Michael Moore.

Jeez. Trump has now banned Britain from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine, according to report www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

Perhaps JD Vance could come back to Munich and give everyone in Europe a refresher of his gripping TedX Talk on "freedom of speech". ~AA

In 15 years on social media I almost never ask my followers to do anything. If you live in the United States, please stop now & call your representative. I just called. They answer and listen. The phone numbers are here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... Demand action to stop this authoritarian threat:

Market reaction to Trump’s latest round of tariffs has been pretty brutal. All of the post-election market gains on the S&P500 have now gone.
