Investors value a quick buck over the future of our planet. With BP rolling back its net zero plans – and forcing out its chair – it’s clear that we can’t leave it up to the oil & gas industry to respond to the climate crisis. We need governments to force change.

Trump has imposed 10% tariffs on UK imports to the US. Trump is no friend of the UK. So now the government must focus on the EU. Our research with Frontier Economics shows closer trade ties with the EU could cancel out the impact of Trump’s tariffs AND boost GDP by up to 1.5%.

Foreign Dictatorship US tells European companies to comply with Trump’s anti-diversity order. His diktats must be applied if they are a supplier or service provider to the US govt, Local democracy and sovereignty doesn't count. Will EU/UK fight-back or be a US slave? archive.ph/cvBUG

Potential for crisis in the US right now is huge. Stock market disinvestment, plummeting foreign student/tourist numbers, disease outbreak, cascading government failure, security breakdown. Any number of different ways in which you could see something catastrophic happen, especially in combination.

Trump's obversifications were tracked during his first term by the Washington Post. They documented 30,573 lies or misleading claims, an average of 21 per day. He’s now on course to break his own record.

England's water companies dumped raw sewage in rivers, lakes, seas for record 3.6m hours last yr. Companies fleece customers, flout laws; damage health, destroy biodiversity and marine life to boost profits, dividends. Puny fines don't deter. Govts do nothing to protect people. Must nationalise.

New figures reveal 4.5 million children in the UK are growing up in poverty — the highest ever recorded. Meanwhile, UK billionaires saw their wealth rise to £795 billion last year — another record. We have resources to end child poverty. We need a wealth tax on the super-rich.

Elon Musk’s X stands to benefit financially if the UK govt pulls £800m tax on US tech firms to appease Trump. X, Facebook, Instagram get pay-off for supporting Trump, paid by welfare cuts in the UK. What would Trump demand next? UK on bended knees, behaving like the 51st state.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

A president that suppresses truth by undermining the integrity of journalism or objective reality, is no longer a president but an autocrat. The reality is, a rabid fascist is in control of one of the most powerful countries in the world, that’s not even hyperbole. If anything, an understatement.

“The world has changed” says Chancellor on #bbclaurak. Yes it has - so why stick to outdated counterproductive austerity agenda & arbitrary fiscal rules? You can’t cut your way to growth. Taxes on extreme wealth of super rich would be fairer & more effective than more cuts @patmillsuk.bsky.social
