Great film with awesome music: funny, affirming, enraging and tragic in equal measure. And the fight against the racism, the inhumanity, the genocidal violence of our neo-colonial world economy goes on as long as we breathe. We will overcome someday. www.one-to-one.film

Thanks for keeping up the pressure @clivejonesmp.bsky.social. We cannot allow Starmer to sign away our standards to Trump without so much as a vote by MPs.

Two days ago Trump’s attacks killed dozens of African migrants while they slept. Now we’re joining him. As if Britain wasn’t complicit enough in the horror Yemen is going through. This is madness. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Any trade deal negotiated with Trump should be put to a vote in Parliament, especially when British farming, online safety and our NHS are on the line. Labour’s own policy paper from 2021 called for Parliament to have a vote on trade deals. We must now hold them to their word.

The problem for the US is not other countries ‘taking advantage’. Rather it’s that Wall St has been allowed to turn the whole economy into a gigantic ATM. Tariffs won’t help because these monopolies still won’t invest, they’ll just extract even more. jacobin.com/2025/04/tari...

Big Pharma is using Trump's tariffs to hold Europe hostage. But this isn’t about tariffs — it’s about profits. Europe needs to stand up to corporate blackmail. #PeopleOverProfit peoplesmedicines.org/resources/me...

The aim of Trump’s tariffs is to replace a deeply flawed rules-based order, with a world based on force and bullying. We want a very different economy. We can only get there by standing up to Trump. Me in Tribune 👇 tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/the-...

Big Pharma using Trump’s tariffs to force Europe to raise medicine prices and increase their monopoly power. But this is nothing to do with tariffs - they’ve been demanding the same thing for 50 years. Stand up to Trump. Stand up to Big Pharma. www.ft.com/content/de92...

Absolutely unacceptable. Starmer had no mandate to start these trade talks, has set out no objectives, and won’t even give MPs a vote? He cannot be allowed to sign away our regulations to Trump without a debate. We demand a meaningful vote.

Countries should ‘announce a policy of no longer respecting US monopolies for as long as Trump is playing his silly tariff game’ argues @DeanBaker13 This would directly benefit consumers living in the countries that go this route… cepr.net/publications...

We should retaliate against Trump, but that doesn’t mean tariff for tariff. Our response should strip Trump’s oligarch mates of their monopoly powers in our countries. It would be good for customers and the planet too. This is brilliant by Cory Doctorow jacobin.com/2025/04/ip-a...
