It's a sign of how upside down everything is when Richard Madeley points out that the US is an unreliable trade partner under Trump Meanwhile Labour minister Sarah Jones says we're on track for positive news for a trade deal with the US - despite the unreliability from the US

Rejoining the EU would enhance Britain’s sovereignty. We’d get our seat back at the table where key decisions are taken & have a say on the single market rules that so many UK companies have to follow anyway (as it’s the world’s largest market, where we sell most of our exports).

I kind of think this should be bigger news Cc @skynews @bbcnews @itvnews @lbc @BBCNewsnight @BBCBreakfast @bbc5live

The worry is that decent folk angry with Labour sit on their sofas and while Reform supporters vote, leading to the local elections being trumpeted as Farageist triumph and our politics being pushed even further to the right. Don't let that happen. Campaign for the biggest possible #Vote4Democracy

"Scotland’s second Festival of Europe is being held at the French Institute, Edinburgh, on 10 and 11 May 2025. Backed by the @euromovescotland.bsky.social and a wide range of other organisations, a major theme of the two-day event is “The Future of European Democracy”" @cluthaman.bsky.social

A private equity firm just bought £1.6 BILLION worth of the NHS. It will make bigger profits by hiking rents for hospitals and NHS facilities. Previous govts privatized the estate. That means less money for frontline healthcare. NHS already drained by PFI and private contractors.

A former Conservative MP, senior Conservative aides and a Conservative member of the Welsh parliament have all been charged by the Gambling Commission with criminal cheating, after placing bets on the date of the general election with insider knowledge www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Children’s squeaky plastic toys, trucks, blocks and dolls contain chemicals which are harmful to health, such as PFAS, also known as ‘forever chemicals'. This deal is a win for EU lawmakers, who have been pushing to ban PFAS in all toys sold in the bloc in the future, despite industry backlash.

Say it again and agaun. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza ( and the West Bank). Israel fails to comply with about 77 UN resolutions since 1955. Israel must be stopped. Stop arming it now. #BoycottIsrael

Israel's genocidal war on Gaza only stops when Western governments make it stop. That's why, if we live in the West, we have to speak out so loudly.

Labour have brought steel under state control because it is “critical infrastructure” Even more critical is our drinking water. Get on with it.

'Clean nuclear power' is an oxymoron. "Every part of the process is potentially deadly. Uranium contamination has become a non-negligible global health problem. Let’s rethink calling nuclear “clean” energy" @Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband #SayNo2SizewellC www.aspendailynews.com/opinion/no-s...

We haven’t forgotten.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

These Children didn’t just needlessly die of Measles they died of political malfeasance, anti vax fake science and JFK / Trump Republicanism. It my eyes it’s nothing short of manslaughter. #Measles #TrumpDeaths #RFK #USA

“Arran Community Renewables, a Community Benefit Society based on the Isle of Arran, has been granted planning consent for a 6 MW solar farm .. The £5million project will be the largest 100% community owned scheme of its kind in Scotland.” www.heraldscotland.com/news/2507608...

Take a look at Nigel Farage's register of interests, how much he is being paid is insane. members.parliament.uk/member/5091/...

Israel has destroyed the last functioning hospital in Gaza. This disgusting war crime cannot be ignored. Israel’s allies must immediately end all arms sales and stop this genocide now.

The difference between Zionists and anti-Zionists is that anti-Zionists would never support the bombing of schools and hospitals, no matter what the other side did because we understand that bombing schools and hospitals is always wrong. This is basic morality.

Donald Trump doesn't have a plan, he doesn't know how to do anything except cheat at golf and go bankrupt.

“Starmer has no problem sitting in TV studios condemning Russia's war crimes, but when it comes to Israel he doesn't think politicians should sit in TV studios & say whether they're even committing war crimes (never mind condemning them!)” - credit: Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth

Great to see a strategically important industry saved by this government. Now do all of rail, mail, water and energy! “Our nationalisation phobia has handed state assets over to foreign governments to make handsome profits that should have been ours.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
