Haha yes that'll do it. No-one's every thought of this before. It'll definitely work. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rustaveli is blocked once again on day 66 of relentless protests. Keep your eyes on Georgia tomorrow.

As Trump post lies on "Truth Social" The Californian state water agency is obliged to correct him

They won't because apparently they'll drink Italian coffee instead ... apparently its much better anyway 😂😂 it would be hysterically funny if the extent of the uneducated wasn't so tragic...

The Italian coffee is probably messing with his brain...

According to MAGA Italy has the best coffee bean estates and they don't need any of that coffee stuff from Columbia 😳

“Over the past 50 years, there has been a drastic loss in the global wildlife population that will gradually get worse. Currently, an estimated 200 species have been lost in the UK.”

Is this truly the way to govern democratically?🤔

How evil/moronic do you have to be, to think binning the Equality Act would raise productivity, restore confidence and create meritocratic workplaces? How TF could scrapping people’s rights to NOT be discriminated against, harassed or victimised at work be IN ANY WAY a good thing? It simply can’t.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday. Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

This is a really fascinating rewilding project that could transform Scotland’s landscapes.

Trump effectively pulls US out of global corporate tax deal with 140 countries. The idea was to check corporate tax dodges, require multinationals to pay 15% global corporate minimum tax. What will the EU and UK do? Green light to profit shifting, enrich few, impoverish many. archive.ph/nVSer

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Orban of Hungary on the Trump Presidency: “The rebellion against woke liberal democracy has entered a new stage. The time has come for patriotic forces to occupy Brussels.” Let’s see how that goes now minds have been focused.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.” Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Trump has already taken down reproductiverights.com a place where women could find info on healthcare and their rights.

If you look back at history, there were many international commentators who said that Hitler wasn’t serious about the things he was saying. It was all for show.

“Trump’s Return Must Be a Turning Point for the UK to Stop Pandering to America and Forge a Brighter Future With Europe. Trump is taking the US in a dark direction and we must not let ourselves be dragged along with him” argues @carladenyer.bsky.social👏 bylinetimes.com/2025/01/21/t...

Exactly this ...

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

That individual is pure evil

Johnson is still a complete idiot

Strong, sensible, progressive move from Davey. It's time to really increase pressure on Labour from the Remain side. They musn't go into negotiations thinking the danger is only on the Leave side.

Europe including Britain should ban travel for Americans... unfortunately for the decent Americans the rest of them including their ridiculous choice for the White House need reminding all actions have consequences... in fact we should develop a system without them entirely...

This article is devastatingly unbearable... I don't actually care if they were illegally mining I'm incensed that the authorities actually took the decision to starve them to remove the means for them to climb out ... absolutely horrific and truly heads should roll ...

How the Elon Enablers Are Putting Britain at Risk. “Demands for Keir Starmer to appease the far-right billionaire will only empower those seeking to overthrow the UK Government” @adambienkov.bsky.social www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/give-musk-...

The more you amplify the rantings of deranged lunatics the more they think their rantings have relevance... I'd have thought this country would have learned from its amplification of Farage way back when ... apparently not ... stop giving Musk oxygen he's not powerful he's just rich that's it ...

Musk’s accusations towards Starmer are such clear aggressive disinformation pushes as to be overt defamation/ libel cases that any “public interest” defence would find difficult to cover.

😂😂😂

Protesters in Tbilisi, European Georgia, are out on the streets for the 15th consecutive day to try to stop Russia stealing their country. There’s a lot going on in the world, but we mustn’t forget this critical struggle.

Tbilisi, Day 18, 7pm Here they come again. The people of Georgia refusing to bow to regime repression. Early today, the election monitors who oversaw the October election marched through the capital demanding fresh elections. #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪🇪🇺 (🎥Credit: Publika)

🔥 "The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t."

Constitution workers appear to have disappeared during the last few years. Almost as if there was some sort of anti-immigration drive or something 🤔

‘X’ turns dark… sky turns Blue. 🦋 The exodus from X to Bluesky is a beautiful demonstration of how we, the users, can take back control.

Those dark, cold days before Christmas when that seat by the fire is ne’er more precious 😌 Homeward Bound by Ken White (b. 1943)

The psycho billionaires are seeing this moment as their time to go for the takeover. As in the US, also in the UK.

Totally agree... the system only works for the politicians and dare I say it the elite ... the people the country the services - we all suffer ... if it takes going onto the streets then that's what must happen because the system needs to change...

Suspect we'll hear rather a lot less about this today than we did when it was was people protesting against catastrophic climate change, rather than the right to hang onto their multimillion pound inheritances

I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

“For over a decade, Twitter held a unique place in the online world. While it never matched Facebook in terms of user numbers, its cultural and political influence was unparalleled.” What Twitter/X lost, Bluesky is gaining.

Bloody sick of the ‘red line’ shtick. Where’s it ever got us? Up shit creek. Announcing over and over again that we’d rather keep our broken paddles, thank you very much. I know so much of it is for Daily Mail England. But ffs. Can’t we change the record now? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
