Incidentally, the same course of action which the author advises - flattery and deference - is exactly why Trump is in power in the first place. Anyone who has ever been bullied knows this. If you bend the knee, they cut your head off.

The super rich have more power than ever before. The old political parties have utterly failed. They've made things worse. We don't have time to mess around. I spoke to @novaramedia.com about why you need to join @greenparty.org.uk novaramedia.com/2025/02/21/t...

There is much less chance of better public understanding if BBC presenters think you can compare annual spending of 5 billion to the alleged cost of a century-long lease of 9 billion/100 years.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years. As an aide-mémoire for next time.

"This is explicitly a Statement making mayors the agents of the priorities of central government." @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social breaks down the Government's anti-democratic 'devolution' plans that only shift power away from communities.

This is spot on - how @uklabour.bsky.social barrelling down a racist, anti-migrant cul de sac in an attempt to placate racist voters is just going to increase the speed at which they blow themselves up. Why cede the territory at all? #RefugeesWelcome youtu.be/c_ssB4K4Yjw?...

Yesterday Trump granted refugee status to Afrikaner South Africans he claims (falsely) are the victims of racist land appropriation. Yet he's deporting Latin American refugees who are genuine victims of exactly that. How much more proof is needed that Trump & Musk are white supremacists?

The appointment of the former boss of Amazon UK to lead the UK competition watchdog is a threat to its independence and pledge to hold big tech to account. Further evidence of corporate control of govt. No chance of breaking monopolies or protecting consumers from corporate abuses.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Here is a new ruse. To appease public anger fines are announced on England & Wales water companies but are not paid. Companies are allowed to fix the amount & timing of their own fines. Any wonder companies dump sewage, don't plug leaks, fleece customers. It is "corrupt", what would you call it?

Installing Amazon executives to promote further deregulation, using Heathrow 'evidence' and discredited data methods to expand airports during a climate crisis, mass meetings with oil and gas execs, this Labour government proving as corrupt (and/or incompetent?) as the Tories. 🤯😱

Nature is not a blocker to growth. The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has claimed that 'The balance has gone too far in the direction of always protecting every bat and every newt.' But how can this statement be true when the UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world?🌍

Of the many things that disappoint me about the airport expansion decision by Reeves this one really gets me. 1000s of hours of effort will now go into fighting this stupid decision. Hours that could literally have been spent doing anything net positive rather than keeping status quo. Foolishness.

Additional NOT Instead NHS England has an obsession with adding additional roles to GP (ARRS) 31,000 have added 50m appt/year cost £1.4bn Done at the expense of GPs by cutting core funding - 8000 fewer than needed 8000 GPs would have provided 50m appts & cost £700m @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
