No Mr Trump. Russia started the war.

There is one message for the government on this anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster No watering down, no ifs or buts, no more delays. It is time to deliver a Hillsborough Law in full in the name of 97 football fans who were unlawfully killed

Oh, the BBC reporting with gravitas the spouting of JD Vance on BBC breakfast. Apparently, we're top of the list for a trade deal with "the largest world economy." They're getting on very well with Kier Starmer. So I take it we are bending over and drug filled meat & bleached chicken are incoming...

The mainstream media is letting the country down. Badly. If you support Bylines Network as a citizen journalism (ie democratic and pluralistic) alternative... ...then please chip in! We're changing the system. 👇

Switzerland will be rejoining several EU programmes following an agreement with Brussels. Meanwhile Labour act like a drowning man refusing to grab the available lifeline. www.worldradio.ch/news/bitesiz...

“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics” So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US. Letter of the week The Week

40% of the world's dirty money is laundered through the UK and its crown dependencies and overseas territories. Laws passed to create impression but not enforced. 49,521 UK registered companies have not provided details of persons of significant control. Companies not struck off.

You probably don’t know this... Big Tech is quietly using its power in ways that are harming communities around the world. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are building vast data centres – in some of the most water-scarce places on Earth. Why? Because it’s cheaper and more convenient. 1/2

Nationalisation is on the table for British Steel In 2020, Keir Starmer promised public ownership of rail, mail, energy and water as well as ending outsourcing in our NHS and local government 💧⚡️🚄📮🏥 PUBLIC SERVICES are also national strategic assets www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Greens have eviscerated Labour in a council by-election in Haringey. This is David Lammy's constituency.💚🌳 @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Matt Hancock intervened personally to help a pizza firm, owned by a Conservative donor, win a lucrative Covid PPE contract. Two days before winning the deal, the company, which had no previous experience of supplying medical equipment, removed ‘pizza’ from its name bylinetimes.com/2025/04/11/m...

My first reaction was a groan. But at least no Truss or Kwarteng?

GP surgeries owner Assura agrees to private equity takeover worth £1.61bn. All part of creeping privatisation of the NHS. Corporations focused profits, not care. People struggle to get timely GP appointments. NHS privatisation hoisted on people. No one voted for it.

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs. "He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

🚨🚨 This seems to be a school book example of what is generally known in the criminal law as "market abuse" and "market manipulation". 👇

Some good news! youtube.com/watch?v=ZVEn...

The President of the United States of America posted this 15 minutes before the announcement of the tariff pause. This would be a straightforwardly criminal message, were the rule of law currently operational in the usual way, for those with insider knowledge of major market shifting policy news

The media blackout on Israel burning Palestinian journalist Ahmad Mansour alive is to be expected Israel's attack on a media tent burnt Ahmad Mansour alive, but mainstream Western media hasn't bothered to report on it. We are plumbing new depths of depravity. www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Keep Palantir out of the UK.

Absolutely damning. Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.

20% of the 4.9m UK registered companies may have submitted false information. Many involved in financial crimes. 234 penalties issued since last October, totalling £58,500. Just £1,250 collected. Companies House has long been ineffective, facilitating fraud, money laundering.

Oh hello, Force Majeure.

In case you missed it... My thoughts on the government taking action against Tees Valley Combined Authority, and TVCA's response.

A moment of serious concern for America’s Five Eyes partners: “The director of the powerful wiretapping and cyberespionage service, the National Security Agency, was fired Thursday…The firings were advocated for by far-right activist Laura Loomer” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

When the rich have more money than sense. £670 for a pair of rubber flip-flops. That is more than what most people earn in a week. The same rich begrudge paying a decent wage and taxes. Does it make them happy or content? www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless. He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory. The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel. TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE 🤡

Once again, the Tony Blair Institute mistakes generative AI for magic beans.

Some good news. Labour getting a grip of the water companies The public however want to go further and want water re nationalised. Water is a right and it should not be for profit.
