“They try to destroy truth because truth is the greatest threat to their rule. As long as truth exists, they can be scrutinised and held wanting. Once it is vanquished… there is no basis upon which they can be held to account.” We absolutely must hold the line. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

Financial commentator 👇🏻happy to condemn millions of kids to poverty and hundreds of thousands to hunger for politics. When do people like Paul apply ‘fiscal rules’ to the £100 billion a year hand-outs to the financial sector for buying govt bonds? Reeves doesn’t need to ‘find the £s’. #LearnMMT

Ed Davey comments on Starmer talking to Trump #r4today Acknowledges the difficulty of his position but stresses the need to be firmly honest and to protect our interests. Managing to be both supportive and oppositional. A very welcome change from the twatty point-scoring we get from the Tories.

“PR is not a magic bullet. It won’t fix everything overnight. But it is a necessary first step towards a system that makes voting worth something again. Because if nothing changes, disillusionment will only deepen. And that is the real threat to democracy.” westcountryvoices.co.uk/young-people...

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Teacher: Have you heard the word contagious before? Student: My Dad said it yesterday. Teacher: "How did he use it in a sentence?" Student: We saw the neighbour slip and spill his trash all over the road, Dad said, “It's going to take the contagious to pick all that up.”

America abandoned Europe in its darkest days, and only Pearl Harbour spurred it to take on Fascism Russia has none of the economic nor military might of Nazi Germany. We will survive along with Ukraine. And its occupied territories will be liberated. This is us in 1940

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Early Brit exploitation at its best as cult director Walker dissects the family unit. With Sheila Keiths drill.

It's best to remember that newspapers are not 'the free press'. They are private businesses. The only people who have a free press are those who own the papers.
