We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by. Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms: It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment. We must protect jury trials.

Swedish private equity group takes 42% stake in Yorkshire Water. Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE. All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned. Expect more looting.

I would advise ANYONE who is in an abusive relationship to leave it. I guess you would too. So dear Mr Starmer - leave Trump to huff and puff on his own. You don't need him and nor do we. Not really, despite what genocidal maniacs say.

@ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social The latest BMJ report talks about COVID ‘“a vascular virus masquerading as a respiratory one’. The European Society of Cardiologist has also said we need vaccines because heart damage ‘becoming more common’. #VascularAndAirborne

We know Covid is airborne. Why hasn’t the inquiry made an interim statement?

Spot on ⬇️ @stellacreasy.bsky.social: "The performative cruelty of repeatedly demanding that refugees prove they are still refugees – or else face deportation – cannot be understated. It is also a waste of money given that so few refugees, when retested, will change status."

Stunning victory in Stroud last night. Look at that majority! 💚😍 Huge congratulations to @helenelliott-boult.bsky.social and the entire team! Join our movement: Join.greenparty.org.uk

Well would you look at that

😡😡😡😡

Your ‘mild’ infection can cause vascular damage. We need to stop seeing COVID as mild. Notice how much of the media don’t refer often to post infection risks and when they do, they talk about the fatigue, not heart damage or blood clots. They reserve those comments for alarmist vaccine posts.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Plumber wins by-election for Greens From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Bore da! Sun's up. It might be blue again... 🤞 Have a good day ☕️🌼 💙 #Gower #Wales

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“According to YouGov the Greens are now the most popular party in all age categories under 50. Are you ignoring what voters are telling you about your reforms on immigration?”

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold. He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold. 5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

Global economy must not pander to “frivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich”. They fund political parties, profit from socially and ecologically destructive growth. UK example - deregulation, regressive taxation, concentration of wealth, inequalities, sewage in rivers.

When are we going to start preventing infections? Or long covid will keep rising, makes zero sense. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...

You couldn’t make this up. And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.

“In a pair of recent interviews with STAT, Plotkin expressed dismay at seeing the achievements of his career & his field slip away. He knows what lies ahead… “All I can say is that I’m beginning to regret having lived so long —because we’re going downhill,” Plotkin said” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

3 American soldiers have now been killed because the president wants you to stop thinking about all the children he raped.

UK allows US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites. UK getting sucked into illegal US war. No UN mandate for regime change. The powerful running amok. What if Russia copies the US and murders Ukrainian president? There will be turmoil for generations. And Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize.

153 girls. Children. A school.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Covid is and always has been airborne!

Of course, it is unlawful. Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff. Of course, it is stupid. Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away. And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

That's better #Swansea #beach

Iran has confirmed it has targeted the following military bases: * Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar * Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait * Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE * The fifth US base in Bahrain

#Aljazeera - More explosions in Abu Dhabi and Dubai We are getting multiple reports of explosions taking place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This is in addition to an earlier attack on Abu Dhabi where the air space has been closed already. aje.news/p4rw7y?updat...

Cold wards, out of date equipment, racist staff - these are just some of the shocking issues uncovered in NHS maternity care

Watching #DirtyBusiness after catching up with yesterday's episode. I can't find the words, I'm so angry. 😡 Nationalise the lot NOW. Prosecute the bastards who have made billions out of us and polluted our rivers NOW. #DirtyWater

“Rarely has a British political party unveiled a programme that combines cruelty with impracticality on such an extravagant scale.” Chilling on Reform’s increasingly confident fascism. High on viciousness and greed. Very low on wisdom. A ruinous combination. www.independent.co.uk/voices/zia-y...

BREAKING: The Lib Dems will introduce a motion today forcing the release of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's vetting documents for his role as Trade Envoy

If we are to have an offence of Misconduct in Public Office then it should apply to the senior officer class as well as the junior officer class, so to speak. But since this ancient offence has been revived some 30 years ago, it has only been successfully used against the junior officer class.

1,200+ people became sick after swimming in designated bathing waters in England, 75% of those official swimming spots rated “good” or “excellent”. Sewage dumping continues. No penalties on water company execs. The state can't guarantee clean water. archive.ph/QGyF2
