The UK Government’s buzzword is ‘growth’. In the run up to its election it was ‘change’. But if there’s little change from years of austerity, growth will be stunted | Paul Whiteley @bylines.cymru

So, let's hope you're not on maternity leave, or in a war zone, or in training, or at home with the flu, or just on holiday hiking up a mountain. Because Elon - an entirely unelected foreigner, with zero security clearance, who apparently now runs the US - will decide everyone's fate, every Monday.

Apparently this story is being "killed" on websites around the world. Funny that. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/donald-trump-recruited-kgb-codename-34727486

I wonder what else America experienced from 1870 to 1913? Oh yes, maybe the highest immigration rates relative to population of basically any country in history

WOW. This from The Telegraph last week, about BREXIT 🤗 "New research sponsored by Best for Britain suggests the UK could boost growth by between 1.7 & 2.2 % simply through deeper regulatory alignment with the EU, without breaching the government’s Brexit red lines. What are they waiting for?"

The notion that Ukraine should have held elections when a large chunk of its population were under enemy control and it has troops at the front line… …is so farcical that I’m surprised Russia had the balls to push it. That Trump didn’t comprehend the simple dynamics of it… less so. 💁🏻‍♂️

I don’t like saying this but BBC News is utterly failing in its coverage of Trump. Go elsewhere to find out what is actually happening

Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Thousands are here outside the Russian embassy in London to say "Russian troops out of Ukraine!" After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace. Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

#Krasnov should be trending huge on here. For context, it's the KGB name for when they recruited the Orange Shitler back in the 1980s. The Legacy Media is now scrubbing proof of the story given they put it out there. NO retractions, just removing it. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Great news! So does this mean that the mango shitgibbon siding with Putin has finally shifted the Ukraine War from a defensive one playing for time into an active one that needs to be won by Europe ASAP. If so, then it's the opposite of what Putin wanted! 👏👏👏 #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🕊

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

Of the 12 UK elections since 1979 the “progressive” vote was bigger than the “regressive” total in 11 cases, but Labour won only four of them. Why? Neal Lawson analyses the record. www.prospectmagazine...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."
