NEW: Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Chief Naval Officer & the second in command at the Air Force. He is also firing the top lawyers in the Army, Navy & Air Force. These are EXACTLY the steps you’d take if you planned not to step down peacefully in 2029.

Had the pleasure of attending the relaunch of @humaneworldorg.bsky.social (formally known as Humane Society International) at an event in Parliament . Let’s keep reminding Labour of its promise to give animal welfare ‘the biggest boost in a generation’ and help turn those words into bold actions !

Funny how he hasn't mentioned that Putin has done nothing to end the war. Putin could end it now by withdrawing his troops from Ukraine & ending his invasion. Putin is the aggressor & all criticism should be aimed at him. #Ukraine

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

On practices cruel to prawns/shrimps: "We know that when people are educated about what they go through, they are willing to pay a little more for a product that is respectful of animal welfare". How about more education still, so as to leave them out altogether? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Elon Musk is requesting all the IRS data so he can see all the taxes everybody has paid. One of the first things the Nazis did was go through Social Security data and find everybody who had never worked. They then murdered every disabled person who hadn't.

Abruptly firing people who work in air traffic control is like murdering your own soldiers in the middle of a war. Even if you think things now aren’t working as efficiently as they should there’s no clear path to recovering from this; it’s just a really extremely foolish and dangerous thing to do.

£15,000 pay rise for OFWAT CEO. Must be for performance - water companies dumping sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, record hike in customer bills, permitting companies to pay dividends Will probably get a job with a water company, previous CEO is director of Thames Water.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

Trump administration fires 20 immigration judges with no explanation. US Congress, constitution, civil society, press, unions ineffective in curbing his cabal's power. Trump quotes Napoleon - "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law”. Striking parallels with the rise of the Nazis.

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

NatWest wants to increase CEO pay from £5.4m to £7.7m, 43% increase. Govts tell workers wage rises are inflationary, but don't curb exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. Reckless risk-taking boosts executive pay and shareholder returns. People pick up the bailout tab.
