Foreign investors should leave tomorrow. Perfect timing to dump the whole mess in Trump’s lap.

Sentiment check: r/wallstreetbets is absolutely libbing out, indistinguishable from Bsky.

Get your pension and savings out of US equities. And that includes ”global” funds, which are very US heavy. If you thought the ride was rough up until now, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Trump is going to cause pension misery for people, and countries, who have unwisely invested in the United States.

The U.S. dollar weakened following news of a criminal investigation into Powell, as gold reached a record peak.

This is why gold is doing well and we should avoid the USA like the plague. Powell is effectively making a hostage video. This is what an alarm bell looks like. Do not take risks with your capital. Get your money out of all USA equities (and that includes ”global” funds, which are ~50% USA).

Course he didn't , he can't get past the secretary secretary . All lies because Labour in Scotland is totally done.

Hergé was strangely prescient in 1931. The USA has a very long history of stealing other peoples’ property. Tintin en Amérique, 1931-32 #Tintin #Theft #Fascism

The new ad campaign for X is nothing if not honest...

The Americans learned imperialism from their former colonial masters.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s Men’s Curlers on top of the World ! 🏆 The Final of ‘The Grand Slam of Curling’ will be contested between 2 Scottish teams! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 Obviously this amazing Scottish achievement isn’t important enough to get a mention on bbc North britain, let alone bbc Sport 🇬🇧

It is like they don’t even calculate what the results would be of their own actions. It is amateur hour much like when BJ and LT were PMs.

Starmer is funding the fascist regime in the USA by purchasing their eye-wateringly expensive aircraft, which the USA could just disable on a whim. ”… Luke Pollard said the UK is acquiring at least 12 F-35A aircraft… “…are US nuclear weapons and the US retains control and custody over them”.”

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts. Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line. The only thing that might avert war. These people still prefer the color green over white.

If Karl Turner MP (Labour) resigns, then there will be a by-election in Kingston upon Hull East. Green gain from fifth place? Result Kingston upon Hull East GE24 Labour 44% Refash UK Ltd 31% LD 11% Conservatives 9% Greens 6% Turnout will be crucial. It was a pathetic 42% at the general election.

The economics of speaking fees confound me. Like when Johnson resigned and immediately exceeded his annual salary as PM with a couple of speeches. I don’t really understand the ROI

See the latest tesla model and all is clesr

Well done Germany! 🥳👏🏆 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 #BoycottTesla #MuskIsAFascist

Right now they are targeting American mothers and children. Soon the US government will be murdering Greenlandic mothers and children. #SupportGreenland 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇪🇺

Now the USA government is officially interfering in the healthcare policy of Germany. Europe is under attack. The fascists are getting bolder and bolder.

Net favourability* of Elon Musk: Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 -78 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 -62 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 -58 Which makes him even more unpopular than Keir Starmer. Just. (*YouGov; 6-7 January 2026)

”This is the "mirror world" of @naomiaklein.bsky.social: banning content of child sexual abuse and non-consensual sexualisation is "censorship"; those who seek to suppress this type of content are "fascists".” #PsychologicalProjection #Apartheid #MuskIsAFascist

This POS?

Russia & Elon. Unregulated social media will tear apart democratic societies. Honest people can’t compete with foreign propaganda budgets, multi-billionaires promoting content. Casual users don’t bother to check facts. It’s like a town hall meeting with a couple of Nazi’s using bullhorns.

The Palestine hunger strikers have been on hunger strike for over 60 days and are close to death. They have not even been convicted of a crime - they are being held on remand (pre-trial) for more than twice the max time allowed, and counting…🧵

"For the president of the United States to say that NATO doesn't come and help us is, for those countries who fought alongside us, whose sons and daughters and husbands were killed in order to defend our interest, offensive," says @ivodaalder.bsky.social.

We weren’t super public about the more uh, direct threat. Like Eisenhower directly told the British and the French that not only would he let the Soviets fuck them , he would economically cripple their economies.

I know that the EU has this reputation of not wanting to do anything due to factional infighting, but with Brexit, unity is in fact better. And honestly, I don’t know if Americans truly realise the economic power that the EU has. Especially if it is forced to align with China.

I love that these idiotic proposals never actually consider what Greenland is like.

Amazing to me that Donald Trump has not been asked once to comment on this insanely Neo-Nazi post from his Homeland Security department, nor asked who are the 50 to 60 *million* US citizens that his DHS say they want to ‘deport.’

Once we ruled over an empire, So it feels like some kind of defeat, To comply with rules drawn up by strangers, And measure in metres not feet. We don't want to go but by Jingo, If we can't be in charge, then we must. But don't be offended, dear neighbour… #BillyBragg Full English Brexit (2017)

”…the Welsh economy has been disproportionately impacted by Brexit… She pointed to a drop in trade volumes between 2019-2024 of -31% for Welsh exports to the EU and -20% for EU imports... In 2024, exports to the EU accounted for 58.1% of Welsh goods exports compared to 48% of UK goods exports.”

Govts serve their paymasters. They guarantee corporate profits - privatizations, PFI, outsourcing, VIP lanes, subsidies, bailouts. Obedient minister get corporate consultancies/jobs after they are booted out of office. Almost all of our economic problems stem from political corruption.

Still paying for it now in Scotland. Implemented by the Eng conservative party, cont by eng Labour party. Scotland's 129 PFI/PPP projects have a total capital construction value of around £9-10 billion but require repayments exceeding £39.7 billion-over four times the build cost-through 2045-46.

This is what Labour wants to inflict on Scotland. Again. They must think we are mugs. PFI is a massive scam. Public money straight into the pockets of their sleazy cronies. #RedReform #BlueLabour #OptionalIdentityMark #Sarwar

We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi & Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike & at extreme risk of death. Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting & it is now critical to prevent a tragedy.

Something quintessentially English about Hawtrey’s sad little visage. Immobile and isolated in his redundant Lilliputian nostalgia-box, looking glumly out as the real world happens outside. #LittleEngland #Brexit #CharlesHawtrey

interesting parallel between Brexit and Maga: both fundamentally underestimate their country's dependence on the goodwill of its allies, because the very realization of that dependency contradicts their fantasies of omnipotence.

The EU doesn’t need the UK and won’t allow it to join whilst the likes of Fartage and Reform are in the picture Break up the UK and all the Nations would get in but it could take 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 50 years and under very strict criteria as it’s a basket case that only serves the wants of the 1%

For non-UK people, this is the leader of the third largest political party (a liberal centrist not an extremist). This would have been considered insane just a year ago. Beneath the surface in a lot of countries, public and political attitudes are undergoing profound changes.

It was a bit more than that, but put to rest now. The last two governments, Tory & Labour, have made it legally impossible for me to return. But it is what it is. Should Scotland ever become independent, I'm on a plane the next day though. 😉

Musk will scream into a void where there aren't (many) UK users, users will disperse to other platforms, and the British public always loves banning stuff...

Tinker, Traitor, Soldier, Nonce

Clear all the snow ASAP You don’t want Trump to think ...that this is Greenland too!
