Was Keir Starmer's cut to foreign aid inspired by Donald Trump? We have betrayed millions of people who are reaching out for help because of wars that the west has instigated, or a climate catastrophe rendered inevitable by our fossil fuel industries www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apparently Starmer's meeting with Trump will be delayed so that Trump can welcome the Tate brothers to the White House. (That's not true, as far as I know, but it wouldn't surprise me.)

Today Starmer flies to DC to try to sell a cringe-worthy MEGA (Make our Economies Great Again) trade deal to Trump. We need to stop this. A tech trade deal with Trump would roll out the red carpet to tech billionaire oligarchy 1/3 www.globaljustice.org.uk/news/potenti...

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

Remember when it was claimed that people wanted Brexit bc they feared an EU army? It came from 🇬🇧 national security leaders Penny Mordaunt told Mail, “The prospect of having our security policy dictated by Brussels is a huge concern – and makes a mockery of the claim Britain is stronger in the EU.”

Dippers have been collecting material to build their nests this month. They build large, domed nests made of moss and leaves, often located in crevices near water, under bridges or behind waterfalls. 📷 Thanks to George Kelsey for these super pics of birds on the Water of Leith. 👏

Absolutely horrifying. The Tate brothers are self-described misogynists, view women as inferior and face allegations of rape and trafficking minors. As a reminder: Donald Trump pressured Romania to lift restrictions on Tate brothers. Women's rights and safety is under huge threat everywhere

All eyes will be on the Prime Minister today as he meets with President Trump. It's imperative that the PM challenges Trump on his lies over Ukraine and his shameless parroting of Putin’s propaganda. It's up to the UK and Europe to step up in Ukraine's defence to ensure our collective security.

This podcast is incredible. I’ve binged it in a day. It’s an astonishingly personal & brave story, but with wide-ranging, far-reaching implications; the digital era has given stalkers more weapons, misogyny is rampant, and online abuse causes real-life harm. A hard but important listen.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire. Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.
