"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%" Read the Stanford report: siepr.stanford.edu/publications...

The #us backed deal on #ukraine is actually a business agreement with #Russia. Many around #trump want access to the Russian market and Ukranian asset, this enables that. Again to be clear #trumpw was voted in to do this, he has the backing of the #american people to exteract value from the […]

It is time for #europe to arm #ukraine with long range missiles to deal with #Russia. It is time to leave nothing left behind in Russia.

Former leader of #reformuk in #wales given 10 years in prison for taking money to push a #russian agenda. For those not familiar with UK politics, #reshituk is the party leed by #NigelFarage. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yd878ejqko

#uk #COVID enquiry finds 23k people in #england died needlessly and largely due a toxic and chaotic culture created by #borisjohnson and #dominiccummings , no surprise as Johnson was useless, believed it was little more than a flu and was quoted as having said "let the bodies pile high". That […]

#luxembourg MEP #fernandkartheiser , a member of the far right #adr has gone of to get some friendly advice from Putin. Er sorry, try to bring peace in #europe.

You know things are bad in the United States of #trump when Marjorie Taylor Greene is described as a traitor and a lunicatic and receives death threats. Please try resolve all anger peacefully, even if she has in the past been less than pleasant towards opponents […]

#hamas regularly used human shields in #gaza which is totally sick. Now we find out that unsurprisingly the #idf #israel allegedly did the same thing - this time from a former #israeli soldier. The policy of #isreal was to exterminate or starve the #gazans and sadly #Hamas were also complicit in […]

Tragic, scientist James Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, has aged 97 Probably one of the biggest discoveries ever in science. A key to so much of life. Thanks! #deaths #jameswatson #dna #rip

Absolutely a bunch of sick m*ther fuckers at work in #sundan. The #rsf (Rapid Support Force) and conducting mass executions of civilians in the city of #el-Fasher . https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9kjw515pyo

#prunellascales has sadly died. She was a star across film, tv and theatre. A real legend, a great actress! <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Prunella_Scales_in_2010.JPG/250px-Prunella_Scales_in_2010.JPG"/>

#hamas has been killing people in #gaza in preparation for the cease fire. While the actions of #israel rightly got confirmed it is with remembering that Hamas is not an organ that is vaguely interested in the people of #Gaza. They are only interested in killing and exploiting people for their […]

The #uk executed many women for #witchcraft when the #church #ignorance and dodgy #judges ruled the day. While it may seem pointless 100s of years later to pardon the women murdered by the state, it should be done. As a relatively recent example from the UK tells is... 15 y/o Kristy Bamu was […]

According to #tommyrobinson (allegedly) last week 200,000 #muslim gay men sailed on rafts from #france and stole all the straight women in #england. Now there are no women left as they all ran off to start their gay relationships with these men. Gay Muslims literally are stealing all the women […]

#france will today lay to rest #robertbadinter in the Pantheon alongside #mariecurie and #victorhugo. Badinter was responsible for abolising the #deathpenalty in France. Therefore, he can be seen as someone who went against the populists and back then won. He died in 2024 and today marks the […]

A potential future UK #pm has called for the removal of judges that disagree with him. #RobertJenrick is the shadow justice secretary, given his dodgy party funding history I cannot help but see the link between his past and wanting to remove judges who may pose a threat to him, just in case he […]

Regardless my views on #netanyahu I really hope that the #israeli hostages are released. While #Netanyahu is little more than a modern fascist and should spend the rest of his days in jail, the #hostages deserve to be free.

#israel has decided to invite #tommyrobinson , this has been condembed by the Jewish Board of Deputies in the UK. Robinson is a #facist .... He should be in jail, not on the streets let alone being invited by Isreal.

Today marks the accession to the throne of Prince Guillaume of #luxembourg and the abdication of his father #henri as Grand Duke. My thanks to #Henri for undertaking his now former role with dignity, strength and decency. He had a reputation for being a hard worker! A small country celebrates a […]

To my #jewish friends, I am so angry and sad to hear that your community has been attacked in #manchester. May the victims rest in peace. Anti-Semitic attacks are disgustingly on the rise across the world. We must never tolerate attacks on entire communities just because of who the people are.

It is sad to read that the former leader of the #uk #liberaldemocrats, #menziescampbell has died at the age of 84. He always came across as highly intelligent, honest and on top of whatever subject he had to debate. Also importantly he never cheapened #politics and gave everything a sense of […]

So the #eu decided to build a #drone wall now. doh. So we had to wait for multiple attacks before they did anything.

The only U.N building this man should be in is the Hague. #netenyahuisawarcriminal #israel

Awesome news - effective treatment for Huntington's Chorea! But, trigger warning: contains #Science, specifically the sort of woke medical research that Trump, following the #GOP's #Project2025 blueprint under the leadership of a worm, is working to eliminate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some amazing medical news, #huntingdonsdisease has been successfully treated for the first time. #health https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cevz13xkxpro

The #medical teams in #gaza along with many civilians show the true best that humanity has to offer as they try to save the lives of the many loved ones targeted by #israel. They are a stark contrast to the baboons who are in the #israeli government and #hamas who take joy in killing.

#israel has been given enough opportunities to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza and in the surrounding settlements. #starmer is totally right to formally recognise #palestine and continue to maintain that #hamas are terrorists. Hamas should be flattened but killing innocent Palestinians for the […]

Around 78% of farmers and all but 11 of 444 farming dependent counties voted for #trump. They overwhelmingly voted for #tariffs and are now complaining. Trump is right to look after #us jobs including if required the use of trade mechanisms, that is what he was voted in to do. However, he should […]

As a reminder to those in the #us and #uk as much as leaders lead, they only follow what their supporters chant. In the end you get the leaders and the policies you want.

#trump has threatened to cancel the broadcasting licences of channels which criticise him. It should be noted that #borisjohnson attempted to do similar things, namely threatening to sell #c4 (a public corporation) to his mates. Again though, even I support the free media, this is exactly what […]

“Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield is resigning from the ice cream company he founded in 1978, saying the brand’s freedom to speak out on social issues has been stifled by parent company Unilever”—Boston Globe

Breaking: Jair Bolsonaro has been sentenced to 27 years in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup. This is the appropriate consequence and punishment for attempting to overthrow your own nation's democracy.

Today's massive show of force for Tommy Robinson - a long-time street thug - will exacerbate far right divisions. Robinson is a rival of Nigel Farage who's disavowed him and refuses to campaign for him or allow him into Reform UK. There are many people in Reform UK who'd like to embrace Robinson.

Farage and the Reform UK leadership represent the 'pragmatists'. But the membership and others are generally more ideological 'puritan' and want to embrace Robinson. Farage is polling well but has never pulled anything near 100,000 to a rally. Today's march will empower the puritans against Farage.

Robinson claimed the objective of today's march was to "unite the Kingdom". That was never the real purpose. This was a show of strength in a far right turf war. The British public are rapidly being radicalised and every far right figure is fighting to become the leader of the desired revolution.

#unitethekindgom protestors attacked police officers in #london today. As usual the right is not the group that supports law and order.

110,000 racists and bigots were on the streets of London today protesting about err people being occasionally foreign or lgbt. Of course, they received a lovely address (via the Internet) from #elonmusk. Those of us opposed to #tommyrobinson and his fellow Nazis need to be more vocal […]

According to an article in The Economist, 76% of all political extremist killings in the US over the last decade were committed by the right. Overall though the level of political violence is lower than in the 60s. So there is a breath of hope. Please American friends, I love visiting your […]

Astonishingly, I've discovered, the Tufton Street junktanks that shaped Liz Truss's agenda are still operating at the heart of government. Remind me what we voted for again ... This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It should be no surprise that yet another person was sadly shot dead in the #usa. This is a country which puts guns before life. By all means have guns in controlled gun clubs but there is no need for them elsewhere. #charliekirk and thousands of others would still have been alive if guns were […]

How stupid do you need to be to kill someone like #charliekirk? It serves no purpose and will only escalate the retribution against progressive politicians. More importantly though it simply creates another grieving set of family and friends - the most wrong part in all of this. My thoughts to […]

Longtime head of Mexican megachurch is indicted in New York on federal sex trafficking charges - Another day, another #evangelical #christian indicted for sex trafficking. Again…not a drag queen, not a progressive lib, but yet again a #conservative Christian. One would have to be blind not to […]
