Europe can out produce the hell out of Russia. End reliance on the US with it's fickle extreme right wing President.

"Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies are still under illusions and dream of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield" 250,000 Russian dead, 750,000 Russian disabled, not fighting invaders, but in Russia's invasion of Ukraine #SlavaUkraini www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

All Hell Breaks Loose As House Republicans Move To Save Ukraine And Defy Trump www.politicususa.com/p/all-hell-b...

Eurosceptics went on about traitors for years, but it turns out the traitors are among them.

We know enough about Trump: 1. He embraces no values but money, power & vanity. 2. Either you need to threat him effectively (China) or bribe him. $200k might be enough (Switzerland or Apple). 3. Countries with values need to gang up & pressure him. www.ft.com/content/8ccf...

Who the f%*k is Chris Mason? Just watched his dreadful interview with Starmer. Who the hell does this weaselly third rate journalist think he is, presuming to grotesquely insult and trivialize the British PM? Starmer may have some challenges, but he shd not have to put up with this uninformed crap!

Keir Starmer has demanded an investigation into links between Reform UK and Russia following the jailing of the party's former Wales leader for accepting pro-Russian bribes news.sky.com/story/starme...

Uh-oh Somebody’s meds have went off! Batshit, crazy dementia Donnie is back!

Farage is not subject to investigation - but he was and is the Trojan horse, the gateway to the great harm done to all the British peoples.

Former Ukip MEP and ex-leader of Reform in Wales Nathan Gill has been jailed for 10.5 years for taking bribes for pro-Russian statements This story is from when he pleaded guilty, and today prosecutors gave more detail about how Gill was tasking other Ukip MEPs www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/w...

Did you know? In the Victorian era, Mary Seacole, a Jamaican-born nurse, was not part of Florence Nightingale’s official team at all. After being rejected multiple times—almost certainly because of racial prejudice—she paid her own way to the Crimean War front. #Victorian #history

Well, that's aged like rancid Surströmming wrapped in a durian nappy and shoved down a festival toilet in a gastroenteritis outbreak.

TEN MONTHS IN: The national debt is higher. The trade deficit is wider. The inflation rate has worsened. The unemployment rate is up.

Are you yes yet?

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

He tried to protect his city and negotiate with Russians before they tortured and killed him. 🧵 1/7 ⬇️

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives. Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

You could be forgiven for looking forward to him being PM. 😂he will actually have to attend PMQs & fulfill his duties -what a shock that will be.🤣 He's a workshy, lazy grifter who barely fulfills his duties now as a constituency MP. Ask them, When was the last time he held a constituency surgery?

I've counted about 15 explosions so far in Kharkiv. Russian drone attack continues. The sounds are terrifying. The buzz of the drones, the car alerts, dogs are going mad outside, the explosions. The building is shaking.

Trump has granted clemency to more than a dozen people his own Justice Department prosecuted during his first term. The through line? Their lawyers are connected to Trump — or they have proved their loyalty to him. It’s all part of Trump’s pardon scheme. Watch:

🚨🚨 Huge revelations about Farage from those who knew him in his youth. On the record. "He would be sort of singing these kind of ‘gas ’em all’ sort of songs” “I have a very strong memory of him using the W-word...and the P-word for those of south Asian origin" www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

This headline is horrifying, but this is the reality for companies in Aberdeen & the north east. It’s not scaremongering & the UK Labour Government must listen to the truth. Starmer, Reeves & Miliband must take notice & must change the energy tax regime to protect jobs.

An independent Scotland would never have had a Conservative Government since 1955. But Dependent a Scotland has had Conservative & far right policies imposed ever since, punctuated by an occasional Labour Government.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

Trump won't succeed legally but he will intimidate the Prime Minister and impose punitive tariffs and other sanctions on the UK - interfering. Trump respects noone and nothing but money and military power. I say he can do one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit Financial agencies applaud Scotland’s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due It shows how meaningless the quality of our debate has become In @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Robert Reich: "(...) Trump is moving to immortalize himself with his name etched into coins, carved into pediments, and inscribed into White House marble. He wants to glorify himself in the most permanent ways possible. This is what fascist dictators do when in power. Democracies don’t do this."

They were monsters. And do they still live amongst us, unscathed?

Funny strand of modern right-wing populism where econ problems are an outgrowth of anti-democratic institutions of neoliberalism & the solution is just to replace current technocrats with illiberals "The pretense of monetary policy independence has collapsed" has it? Or are you trying to kill it?
