Reminder: Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures. He is a conman. No wonder Trump likes him. Now he's in charge of running Medicare and Medicaid.

Ian Dunt in the I newspaper is so right in his description of Trump as 'such a pitiful cry-baby on the world stage'. I would not be surprised to read that Trump will need to be sectioned at some time in the future.

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

What Canada, Mexico, Japan, the UK, and the European Union should do in response to Trump’s grossly irresponsible tariffs https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-canada-mexico-japan-the-uk-and

What Keir Starmer said and ... “I’m a socialist” “Broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden” "Don't care if I sound like a conservative" We got: Two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, Frozen tax thresholds, disability benefit cuts. Labour needs to be party of the working class.

Trump claims lack of tariffs caused the Great Depression. All the free-trader economists' heads are going to explode.

Just 1% of the UK population has wealth of £2.8 trillion, compared to £2.4 trillion held by 70% of the population combined. The richest FOUR Britons have more wealth than 20m people combined. Rich have hijacked govts. Must tax the rich to improve life chances of the rest.

Trump's is planning to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia. This is so cruel, so evil, so grotesque, if confirmed by the pro-Russian regime in Washington www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

"There are an estimated 2.9m people in England with malnutrition. Hospital admissions resulting in nutrition-related diagnoses in England increased by more than 39% over the past decade. Malnourished children are being treated for scurvy, bow legs, rickets and heart murmurs."

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

This is what an endangered wolf family looks like. Strong, resilient, loving 🐺

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

What gets to me most is that the UK government enabled foreign states to loot our essential infrastructure, milking it for profit and leaving it in ruins. Those states must think we're insane. The Chinese government would never let us walk in and seize its assets. But we've let it do just that.

Way too cute

Yes - it’s true. See www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new-european... And if you’ve not yet joined EMUK, now would be an excellent time to do so.

💥 NEWS! 💥 Delighted to announce that we have TWO new Presidents at European Movement UK: Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve Our former President, Michael Heseltine stepped down at the AGM this weekend. Onwards and definitely upwards! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new-european...

If a leftist or a British Muslim posted something like this, they would go to prison for a long time.

📢The Guardian is now officially on Bluesky @theguardian.com

Musk’s X has become a poor quality product. It’s as simple as that.

Just horrendous. Between them, Trump and Netanyahu seem determined to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the Earth. It was terrible under Biden. It'll be even worse now. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

A new UN report finds that the policies and practices of Israel are "consistent with the characteristics of genocide". There is no excuse for saying you did not know. This is genocide in plain sight. www.ohchr.org/en/documents...

🗣️ "Instead of relying on rigorous analysis and evidence, he seems poised to prioritize his own views in decision-making." 🔴 The appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Trump's Cabinet has left many medical professionals stunned. Read more: www.newsweek.com/rkf-jr-healt...
