The US and EU are both closing the loophole that allows substandard goods to be dumped without paying tax - harming consumers and local businesses. Why won't Labour? www.thetimes.com/article/f04d...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

This is the direct effect of the hateful policies mandated by NHS England and supported by Wes Streeting that force GPs to treat trans people worse than drug addicts: more cost or less safety.

British Steel crisis shows folly of privatisation and foreign ownership. Lack of investment. Jingye, closely linked with Chinese govt, planned to end UK steel making; process Chinese steel; make UK reliant on Chinese imports. So much UK infrastructure is foreign owned and vulnerable.

If I were Starmer I'd tell them to shove their deal where the sun don't shine. They'll want something unacceptable back for it, they won't stick to it and who the fuck wants to deal with these Nazi gangsters anyway?

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Who would have guessed that European governments, including the Friggin BRITISH system, complete with its “monarch head of state” and House of LORDS… was going to be more robustly democratic than the US hold on democracy. I guess the Constitution really was just an old bit of paper in the end.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft dodged $278bn US corporation taxes over 10 years. Paid 18.8%, compared with 29.7% US average. Profits shifted to low/no tax jurisdictions. Same companies operate in the UK, dodge taxes, create social squalor. Force companies to publish tax returns.

Trump officials cut $2.3bn in Harvard funds after university defies demands to cut diversity programmes, end free speech, muzzle academics and human rights. Dictators always target universities to impose their brand of thought. US Congress missing from resistance.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.

Donald Trump says he is happy to deport American Citizens to El Salvador. Where they will go to a Concentration/Death Camp from which no one ever leaves. He really does get all his ideas from Mein Kampf.

In case you missed it ... When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Looks like Trump intends to keep the stock markets girating like rollercoasters on steroids, so that his mates can keep making money on the ups, and on the downs. Meanwhile, the chilling effect of so much uncertainty will be catastrophic for the global economy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Polling shows 60% of Brits now want back in the EU. But Starmer says it won’t happen. The Tories love Brexit. And Reform? Brexit 2.0 but darker. The fightback starts in Runcorn. Vote John Stevens. Vote Rejoin EU. 🇪🇺 We’re giving Runcorn a real pro-European choice. #BrexitRebels #RejoinNow

As of today, it is cheaper to import a fully-built computer than it is to import the parts and build it in the U.S. Just an incredible strategy to bring assembly lines back to the U.S.
