Slava Ukraini. ✊🇺🇦

We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

This is the welcome for my pre-Calcutta Cup lunch at the East India Club. Safe to say it's fired me up.

We started The Trawl in our bedrooms… And now we beat Piers Morgan and Murdoch’s TalkTV in the News Podcast charts …makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Rory Stewart, "Trump plays divide and rule" "He'd love the idea of splitting Britain off from Europe" "We're better sticking closely together to Europe and Canada" "The opportunity for the UK is a closer relationship with Europe"

Germany’s likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has warned that Europe should be ready for Donald Trump to no longer uphold NATO’s mutual defense commitment unconditionally. Asked whether Germany should seek protection under France’s nuclear umbrella, he had this to say 👇 ow.ly/HeOJ50V4ooe

Rip-off Gap between what banks charge borrowers and pay savers has increased. Banks make £30bn extra profit. Another £40bn profit a year - Govt pays interest on central bank reserves created through QE to facilitate bank transactions. Shouldn't pay any. Who protects people, public purse?

Are there people claiming benefits who shouldn't be? YES! King Charles, MP's, billionaires businesses like Amazon, Shell, BP... Lets crackdown on them.

Judge slams Ofwat and govt for not attending Thames Water hearing. No one representing people/customers as lenders carve the company. Thames has £19bn debt, wants to borrow another £3bn, only £1bn will be useable, customer bills will rocket, won't resolve the crisis. Nationalise. archive.ph/NVzcP

Who fancies working for 120 hours a week? Anyone? No? Didn’t think so …and yet if Musk had his way, we would be And people still believe he’s on their side.

England's water industry owned by companies with over 1,100 criminal convictions since 1989. Examples: United Utilities 205 Thames Water 187 South West Water 174 Anglian Water 128 Yorkshire Water 125 Southern Water 119 People forced to hand more money to criminals? Now they are not even fined.

Toxic assets: Housing association homes & shared ownership Leasehold concerns... "I've complained, I've offered the flat back. I've emailed the CEO. But no one cares. I would literally give it away if I could" #SharedOwnership #Leasehold @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/toxic-asse...

Corporations holding Govts to ransom. Astrazeneca demands subsidy or ... threatens to abandon UK investment plan. You can raze mountains, divert rivers, clear forests, but companies have no loyalty to any place. Time to revive the Corbyn plan - produce our own generic drugs.

Someone said to me Brexit Benefits are like Santa Claus. I told them to stop being ridiculous. Because at least some children believe in Santa Claus.

Abramovich tax dodge must be probed, HMRC urged. UK rarely tackles tax abuse by billionaires. Pandora Papers, Paradise Papers, Bahamas Leaks, HSBC Leaks, LuxLeaks, Panama Papers, Offshore Leaks have led to little action. Govts chase little people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The only message the Right has had for the last 50+ years.

Hahaha!!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Faced with protests, Poland cut retirement age -65 for men, 60 for women. France reconsidering plan to hike retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030. UK state pension age set to increase from 66 to 67. Rich retire whenever they want, poor work until they drop. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/pens...

Resistance takes many forms.

Thousands in Germany have taken the streets protest the rise of the Elon Musk and Kremlin supported neo-Nazi party AfD, ahead of the general election.
