Big Pharma is using Trump’s tariff threat to hold Europe to ransom. Our health should not be in the hands of these profiteers. We need a better way of making medicines. Pleased to be in Politico with Peter Maybarduk of @publiccitizen.bsky.social 👇 www.politico.eu/article/phar...

#Macron has long been depending on the votes of fascists to govern, crossing the 'cordon-sanitaire' years ago. Fascism is packaged into his political programme. Starmer, chasing Reform, is doing the same. These guys are the spearheads of contemporary fascism. www.politico.eu/article/fren...

““We should always ignore the pundits and political hacks who try to convince us that transformative change is impossible — or that the best we can do is chase after a mythical political center, rather than winning the battle of ideas and ambitiously raising voters’ expectations.”

I'd say roughly 75% of mainstream news reporting about the disability benefit cuts has been from a Westminster angle rather than the actual impact the cuts will have

It must be acknowledged that while the Tories cuts to overseas development aid were wrong and callous, what Labour has done since taking office is much worse: huge further cuts (from £14bn to £9bn) and no top up to cover the more than £2bn a year going to asylum hotels. Taken together a 50% cut.
