As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Yup!

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Crazy Train Art gone off the rails again! Inspired by Queen's 'Breakthrough' video (that’ll date me), this sketch morphed into a multidimensional steam train bursting from Mother Earth. 😳 Crazy Train seemed a simpler title🤷‍♂️ RJH #Art #drawing #abstract #abstractart #blueskycats #artist #train

Are you struggling with poverty, low wages, insecure job? Neoliberals have an answer. They want govt to encourage you to speculate on the stock market, buy/sell shares with illusion of riches. Part of the right wing coup to distract people from reality, produce corporate foot-soldiers.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

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?

It’s time for climate populism, write @CarolineLucas.bsky.social and Rupert Read: As politics turns against net zero, we need to mobilise a genuine mass movement against ecological catastrophe.

Donald Trump will lose his shit if you share this!

Apple has reportedly been ordered by the UK government to allow it access to encrypted data stored by the company's users worldwide in its cloud service. The government will not confirm or deny the existence of the order news.sky.com/story/apple-...

Nazi salutes in week one. State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four. But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about ‘over-reaction’ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Louder, for those in the back: ‼️ Tariffs are import taxes that are ultimately paid by American consumers — NOT the exporting country. If you don’t understand that yet, you soon will. ‼️

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Thames among England water and sewerage firms slapped with new class action. £510m damages sought. Govts and regulators defend abusive practices of water companies, let them dump sewage in rivers and fleece customers. End the scam. Nationalise water. www.cityam.com/thames-among...

Vital reading for the government with its current obsession with growth at all costs (growth of what and for whom is never spelt out). A commitment to restore nature was conspicuous by its absence from PM’s Plan for Change, launched last month - that urgently needs to change 👇

As the American ambassador to Israel he’s going to facilitate the complete annexation of all Palestinian lands. Does that sound like Trump is a champion of a peace treaty?!!

UK retailers warn of 4.2% food price rise later this year. Any chance of cutting profit margins, exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, thought not. Visit any food bank and you will find supermarket workers queuing. Despite huge profits work doesn't pay enough. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
