Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Excellent analysis of a long term scandal Richard. It is the opposite of the Robin Hood approach: Rob the poor to pay the rich. Time for a reset of our so-called democracy.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Quick note - opposing politicians taking huge donations from those associated with the private sector and then funnelling massive sums of public money into private healthcare companies is not a ‘far left’ standpoint. But it’s being framed like that by billionaires and media outlets 🚨

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...

The Gulf of America. As Trump abandons Ukraine and Europe, this my theme in the editorial for the new print edition. For Brexit Briaint our 1940 moment, but turned to the Atlantic rather than the Channel "Very well, alone"

1/2 🧵 Ok, so ideally I would like this post, dating from 1912 and alerting the scientific community of the time to the dangers of coal exploitation and consumption on the greenhouse effect and climate change, to go viral in order to inform the wider community.

Reposting this in light of the Andrew Gwynne incident.

You can't blame Andrew Gwynne for thinking he could get away with antisemitism, misogyny, racism towards Diane Abbott and wishing harm upon his constituents because the message from Starmer has been so long as you're a loyalist these things are no barrier to progression in the party.

Nailed again Prem. When will our grovelling sycophants masquerading as politicians get a grip of the mega rich? Do they actually believe that we don’t notice how they ignore one of the greatest issues of our time : offshore banking and tax avoidance. One rule for the few. No help for the many.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Thank you Prem for exposing the shit show that passes itself as a decent business. Corporate giants and dodgy politicians do not a good society make. Time for a complete reset of our currently non-functioning democracy.

I joined protestors outside the RCJ today because our politicians continue not only to ignore the evidence of climate breakdown , but accelerate our species collapse with this obsession over growth above all else . No growth on a dead planet , solidarity with the #LordWalney16

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

Our government has shown its devotion to the shit show that is our water industry. And they have a craven desire to give the mega rich even more money. For the few - not the many.

Re-watching the Netflix documentary Meltdown: Three Mile Island, this occurs to me - can you ever have faith in a private industry to put safety before profit, without the strictest independent regulation?

More runways , more planes , more fossil fuels . It’s not just sitting idly by , it’s actively accelerating climate collapse in the reckless pursuit of growth in archaic industries instead of a rapid transition to a green economy .

RIP Hind Rajab. Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her. I will never forget this story.
