The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

This week our fantastic supporters handed in a 20,000-strong petition to Ofwat. Like us, they want Ofwat to reject Thames Water's outrageous proposal - to pollute illegally until 2040. Find out more at vist.ly/4bpys

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

🧵Stop calling it Argentina aid. It's a scam bailout to friends of Trump and his thug chums who had been making a lot of money off Argentina. The scam goes like this:

For fuck's sake. This is not difficult to figure out. Anyone who can add and knows how the markets work knows what this Argentina aid scam is. The fact that the media keeps calling it "aid" is such bullshit and hope they're all hung out to dry when that $40M of taxpayer money vanishes.

I've read quite a few western journalists telling us what to think about Saudi Arabia recently, and none of them take the time to talk to Saudi women. If you want a different perspective, I urge you to read the Saudi Whisperer Substack, authored by a Saudi woman 1/3

Whow!! Could you help that number climb even higher?

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

This is the energy you need to bring ICE and all fascists, this is what everyone should be doing. In a world full of compliers be the polka dot lady. #3E

If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

They are trying to normalize cruelty and violence. We cannot allow it.

Since the so-called "ceasefire" started, Israel has dropped 153 tons of bombs on Gaza, killing 97 civilians. By comparison, Russia has dropped 300-400 tons of bombs in Ukraine, killing 20-30 civilians. That means the IDF has dropped nearly 1/2 as many bombs as Russia killing 3-5 times as many.

Kamala Harris warned us all about Donald Trump deploying National Guard troops. 👇 All folks had to do was vote for this amazing woman.

Peston cuts Zack Polanski off because Zack points out that yes Israel should be boycotted because they Torture Western citizens, including from the UK.

We worked hard to trace where PFI money really goes + it wasn’t easy. Behind every deal was a Matryoshka-doll of holding companies, all obfuscating who truly benefits. Want to know which companies are still being paid BIG from PFI contracts? 🧩 everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...

Robert Jenrick calls Handsworth "a slum". The Prime Minister calls us "an island of strangers". Real leaders know that there's culture in every corner of the UK when you scratch below the surface. Real leaders don't punch down, they lift up.

The hypocrisy of Carole Malone finding a word offensive and then immediately asking a man whose ancestors actually fled the nazis... this:

“If Israel was able to convince the world for almost two years that genocide was a form of self-defence, then we have all just witnessed one of the biggest crises in reality this civilisation has ever experienced” open.substack.com/pub/georgets...

The cull is collapsing under its own weight, and it is collapsing because people refused to accept a lie. protectthewild.substack.com/p/badger-cul...

Greater Anglia rail passenger operator nationalised. Govt will rent carriages. Lucrative freight and rolling stock companies remain privatised. 3 Luxembourg-based companies control 87% of rolling stock, paid £1.3bn dividend in last 3 years which bears no UK tax. Gravy train rolls on.

We’re sick of the mistreatment of hunting hounds so our next animation will focus on all the ways these poor animals are injured, abused and exploited by hunts.

This Is Fascism

These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting with Keir Starmer to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is no way to treat veterans Prime Minister youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

In the first stage of the ceasefire, Israel will still control 58% of the Gaza Strip. Calling this a withdrawal is misleading.

Thank YOU to everyone who has helped make our first week a success 🙏

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Reminder that we still don’t know what happened to the 1,000 immigrants who went missing from Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and attorneys can’t locate them. They’ve been disappeared. People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.

Labour MPs who voted against welfare cuts concerned over the govt plans to change the assessment for universal credit disability benefits. Could trigger another mass rebellion. Why no focus on corporate welfare - bailouts, £895bn QE, subsidies, tax abuses, no end to profiteering.

UNLAWFUL ARREST This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group. wedonotcomply.org
