Have even the @theguardian.com worked out that Israel are not on right side of morality? This should be headline on page 1.

#Gaza has become a "mass grave." Palestinians and humanitarian workers are enduring extreme suffering as Israeli forces escalate their offensive. We urge Israeli authorities to end the siege on Gaza, protect Palestinians, humanitarian and medical staff and uphold the ceasefire.

What Farage says about where his votes are coming from is also horseshit, of course. Latest YouGov poll shows Tories have leaked 20% of the 2024 support to Reform, but Labour just 6%. Though that still matters, it’s just a third of what Labour’s losing to Lib Dems and Greens…

Please join our wonderful Patron Evanna Lynch and sign the petition to ban cages for all farmed animals in the UK ➡️ ciwf.org.uk/SignThePetition When we reach 100,000 we can get a parlimentary debate - so every signature really does count. Thank you.💚 #EndTheCageAge

Britain should embrace European & other middle powers. “Europe is Britain’s geographical home. America does not share its proximity to Russia, wider neighbourhood, or immigration challenges. Nor does it share British social attitudes or views on international co-operation.” on.ft.com/3RewNl7

Why should UK MPs be registered to vote & be resident in the UK? Voting is a basic civic duty. If MPs aren't even registered to vote they can't fully engage with the democratic process & can't represent the public who elected them. Please sign & share. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Well of course: a few profit and the rest of us pay www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah that judge! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

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 🇬🇧🇪🇺

As President Trump exempts smartphones and computers from tariffs, a historical precedent provides useful perspective, including of fears that exemptions could be a source of political shenanigans shows.acast.com/dansnowshist...

What's better than electing a new @greenparty.org.uk party councillor in London? Winning another one! Today. Lambeth. Noon. We're on a roll. See you there! 👇🏼 actionnetwork.org/events/actio...

In case you missed it ... In 2019, outgoing EU Council President Donald Tusk described Brexit as the true "End of the British Empire". He predicted it would turn the UK into an "outsider, a second-rate player", with China, USA and the EU holding the balance of power. Everything he said came true.

Please listen to this exceptional segment from a speech by J.B. Pritzker. It explains everything that's happening now in #MAGAmerica.

"Our vision for academic medicine in 2050 is working with other stakeholders to promote health & well-being of people & planet & will require revolution to resuscitate our broken system." Truly a revolution: has to mean getting rid of profit motive from #Healthcare phys.org/news/2025-04...

Rachel Reeves, "Trade wars are to the benefit of no one" "That is why in the UK we are keeping cool heads and remaining pragmatic" "We will always act in our countries interest" -Except for growth by keeping the UK outside the EU, a 5% hit to UK GDP-

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "We heard Trump talking about all the countries queuing up to kiss his ass, was the European Union amongst those?" Petras Auštrevičius MEP laughs then says "The European Union doesn't kiss asses" "We are a serious institution, we are well based on values and the rule of law"

Ed Balls, "We do 2% of our trade with India, we do less than 20% with the US, we do 50% of our trade with the European Union" "Surely prioritising trade talks with the European Union to try and break down barriers?" Lisa Nandy, "We are.. For example music touring" But no Customs Union 🤷‍♂️

On the evening of April 8, our teams in Al Mawasi clinic, southern #Gaza, received an influx of nine people after a strike hit 300 metres away from the facility. Two were dead on arrival, including a two-year-old boy, the seven others were wounded.

"The links between Britain and America’s intelligence networks go so deep that it may be impossible to untangle them." But what choice is there but to do it? Sovereignty? www.politico.eu/article/uk-u...

Mark Carney draws a direct parallel between the US tariffs and the economic damage of Brexit. He did have a front row seat at the Bank of England, of course.

The news is just the #trumpslump. Time to turn away from the US and form new international monetary and trade arrangements. Leave them to it, alone and wondering where their empire went.

#NewNuclear - if they can't manage the rodents, what else can't they manage? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Looks like another orange glow and pile of smoke over the moor. Not sure who is doing this, but it is very wrong and hugely damaging to our moorland ecosystem. #bodminmoor #cornwall #fire

Caroline Lucas, "Why doesn't Reeves also change her self imposed fiscal rules that are causing so much damage" "Why doesn't she look at a wealth tax?" "The idea that we balance the books on the backs of the poor which is exactly what Rachel Reeves is doing"

There's a strong public mandate for a ban on caged farming. It's time for the Government to act. If you're one of the 96.2% of people in the UK who disapprove make sure you've signed the petition to ban caged farming: ciwf.org.uk/SignThePetition

What do you get with more @greenparty.org.uk councillors? The right homes in the right place for the right price. Really proud to see Greens building council homes!

Can anyone name a system that could protect the UK from damaging trade wars? Maybe one with 27 allies, global leverage, and actual negotiating power? Asking for a country that left it. #RejoinEU #BrexitRebels #StarmerLogic

Great walk around Kerdroya in Cornwall, what an amazing thing to create and see #bodminmoor #kernow #cornwall

Mate You don’t see most of your kids.

Once again the UK state broadcaster goes missing in action – this time at the discovery of a mass grave of emergency workers executed by Israel. My latest article: www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/grav...

Surely not... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fire on Bodmin Moor this evening near Millpool 😢

Reform are a party run by millionaires serving the billionaires. How do we stop them? One community at a time. Amazing energy in Accrington with local candidate Sohail Asghar.

Phone footage appears to contradict Israeli account of killing of Gaza paramedics

Sounds like a plan

No complex calculations have gone into these import taxes - just reckless back-of-an-envelope stuff, writes @jamesrball.com

$3.811 trillion - UK national debt $4 trillion - How much Donald Trump's tariffs have wiped off share holder value so far

So excited to be in Lancashire this weekend and hopefully lots of Greens get elected to the county council! #GetGreensElected 💚🌍💚

Britain's wrongest man rides again.

Seriously people, the only way for the UK to mitigate the #trumpslump is to rejoin the EU and gain our friends, markets, influence and credibility back. We cannot rely on anyone else to save us.

The only answer for Britain is to build closer ties with our single biggest trading partner – and that is not the US

Did anyone say #ClimateEmergency, or #CarbonBubble, or just detachment from economic reality? #LutonAirport www.theguardian.com/business/202...

'Despite your belligerent message, deep down you still feel really silly - and I don't.' @mrjamesob.bsky.social is tempted to send yet another texter to Idiots' Corner, as listener Matt says 'Brexit is good' because Trump has given the UK lower tariffs than the EU.

Over a month of siege has left people in #Gaza deprived of food, water and medicine, marking the longest period without relief since the war began. Doctors Without Borders' teams are forced to ration medications and treat wounds without pain relief. This must end.
