This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is. The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

In Budget week, I am afraid we have to talk about Brexit. A new report from economists at the BoE, Kings College and others puts the hit to our economy at 6 to 8% of of UK GDP. That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue. That's why we have to go further and faster on the UK/EU reset.

This is a great example of what not do to when you write a headline—especially a cover story. This is irresponsible. He is not in science he’s against science. He’s killing people because he is so AGAINST science. Press—do better. Do not repeat their messaging. Do not repeat the lies.

New analysis by non-profit climate group Possible today: Private jet passengers typically pay less than 1% of the cost of their flights in taxes, compared to 26%-54% paid by economy passengers on standard flights Loopholes mean private jetters often pay little or no APD, nor fuel duty on kerosene.

It’s like a decade a self-imposed economic sanctions.

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mxthh...

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social shameful

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨 NEW Steve Bannon Offered Trump’s MAGA as a Shield for Jeffrey Epstein Epstein helped shape Trump’s MAGA movement through a secret alliance with its chief architect, Bannon, who offered to help him “stave off" the #MeToo movement in return for support bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

NEW: Tony Hall, who Tim Davie replaced as BBC director general, leads calls for the end of political appointees to the BBC board. PLUS - the Guardian learns Robbie Gibb has the power to unilaterally commission research on bias that worries him. Story: www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

The first step towards saving our precious BBC: remove Robbie Gibb from the board | Ed Davey

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job. To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona. Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

“My friends, the world is changing. It's not a question of whether that change will come. It's a question of who will change it.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social People are choosing real alternatives instead of continuity. Mamdani stands for an antifascist economics in the name of the many. 🧵

Two donors to think tank of Nigel Farage’s partner convicted of fraud 😮 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Carter-Ruck, the UK’s most notorious libel firm, used abusive litigation to silence criticism of a former Tory donor. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is investigating - but Carter-Ruck just filed a judicial review. If successful, they'll have total impunity. Thread:

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children. www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

Kyiv confirms Russia has used the Novator 9M729 cruise missile, banned under the INF Treaty, in 23 strikes on Ukraine since August. One flew over 1,200 km. This is the same missile that triggered the US withdrawal from the treaty in 2019.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession. ●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed ● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years ● Sleep well serfs. ● Know your place.

With a couple of twofers.

This is what I think of as the most important chart in British politics. It shows the amount people spend on retail sales and the amount they get. Compared to Feb 2022 people are spending about 16% more but consuming 4% less.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm a proud adviser of @declassifieduk.org:every week their investigative reporters publish an article on the direct/indirect complicity of UK arms companies and UK government on #Israel's #genocide,thus contributing to create a public mobilisation against it www.declassifieduk.org/us-arms-firm...

Some questions are apportioned before PMQs, and others can be secured by "bobbing" during the debate - but he could also apply for one Acc to the Mirror, he hasn't applied for one since July

Nigel Farage has gone "on strike" from PMQs, saying he won't return until he next gets a question There's just one problem: Reform UK knows the rota for qus for the rest of the year. His next question is on Nov 12 observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Here's who's in the Pentagon's new "press corps," covering world's most powerful military: Out: New York Times, Washington Post. In: Tim Pool's Timcast, Gateway Pundit, the MyPillow guy's LindellTV. wapo.st/49iiXbn @scottnover.bsky.social

Draft Tory legislation on removing indefinite leave to remain is insane. Would chuck out those not earning over £38K - including many pensioners! + social protections seems to include child benefit, so load of people with (British!) kids! They'd remove my sis & mum who've been here 50 years.

If I were running Labour comms I would commission an app called 'Will the Tories/Reform deport you?' then let the reactions on TikTok and Instagram do their work.

Nigel Farage has, very clearly, broken parliamentary rules. Will any journalists challenge him on it? Via Private Eye

@andrewbeasleyfootball.com Ominous? Where are we at now?

The absolute bloody vandalism of austerity in one chart. Good analysis of the overall picture here.

these people know how extreme they are

Going to university never occurred to him. “I had to get a university standard of education by study in my own time without the benefit of actually attending,” he writes.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious. Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.” “That sounds terrible.” “What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

In any normally functioning democracy, Farage’s political career would now be over. You would have to invoke unbelievable levels of naivety and stupidity for Farage to dodge this one - and sadly for him such qualities are not on the person specification for the job of Prime Minister. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Urgent new statement from the Pentagon Press Association, on Pete Hegseth’s new, forthcoming media restrictions:

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

A large number of far right actors who have been arrested, including leaders of these rallies, have convictions of domestic and/or sexual abuse, including of children. This is something that ought to be front and center whenever these people are talked about. www.instagram.com/reel/DPL6RCE...

*gasp*

Never let anyone tell you that small acts of resistance don’t matter. This is a remarkable story of 2 Irish women who stood up against injustice & stood tall. Their courage & defiance, for strangers they would never meet, is a reminder that even the smallest light can burn through the darkest times

Medvedchuk was already facing treason charges. The day after Gill's round table, he flew to a meeting with Putin. Putin is not only the godfather of Medvedchuk's daughter, the Russian President was willing to trade no fewer than 215 Ukrainian prisoners of war to get his release in 2022 4/12
