I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Pupils left shivering as PFI contract ends with school repairs unfinished. For £1 of private investment in public assets govt repaid £6 to contractors. After 25 yrs assets revert to public ownership in good condition. Companies enter bankruptcy, dodge responsibility. PFI revived by Starmer/Reeves

This is a worrying trend. If societies build in constant stressors like debt, exams and workload, you get a generation of people who no longer believe in the possibility of a good future. Burnt out, traumatised, they give up even trying.

Trump: 'we’re not going to have Russia....as a neighbor.” Distance USA to Greenland > 1200 miles Distance Alaska to Russia 55 miles. America, your President's a moron. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The USA is a Nazi Empire.

Exam culture in our schools is creating a burnt out, stressed out generation. It is an appalling piece of institutional design. There are oven ready models to replicate that cause less harm and achieve greater academic success. Let's follow best practice from Nation's such as Finland.

Trump threatens military strikes on Mexico to target drug cartels. Drugs is an excuse, there are plenty of homegrown hard criminals in the US, the real target is mineral wealth. The military industrial complex funds US politics, wants profits from world domination, fear and instability.

European Nations are the only adults in the room 🇪🇺🇬🇧♥️🌍

America building a bigger empire to enrich just a tiny group of ulta wealthy individuals. They are completely devoid of any moral compass. 🤢🇺🇸

A cold-blooded murder was committed inside the United States by an agent of the United States federal government acting under the authority of Donald Trump. That is cause for deep concern by us all — right and left, Democrat and Republican. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-cold-blooded-murder

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

Just so you know, this extra $500 billion is enough to END POVERTY using a negative income tax with a 50% phaseout rate. It's also FIVE TIMES the cost of the enhanced child tax credit that cut child poverty in half, that was just too costly to make permanent according to all Republicans + Manchin.

Geraldo Rivera on the ICE shooting: "She didn’t want to hit anybody. She didn't want to run over anybody. To pretend that that was a possibility, given the fact -- I mean, do you believe me or do you believe your lying eyes? Are your lying eyes telling you something that you know is not true?"

Venezuela ‘turning over’ $2bn in oil to US, Trump says, in move that could cut supply to China. Trump wants US and private companies to have “total access” to Venezuela’s oil industry. Territorial grab is all about wealth and power. Corporations have long aided aggression.

Libraries have turned into such bizarre places. One man is snoring in the corner, while another is making sandwiches and drinking what smells like Bovril 😮😱🤢😵

Shortage of NHS stroke specialists in England resulting in death or disability. Between 10,000 and 20,000 patients died or sustained a serious disability because of treatment delays. Lives destroyed by fiscal rules, austerity, appeasement of the rich and forcing people to go private.

France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

All I need is a modest home away from noisy neighbours and stimulus, is that too much to ask? Oh wait... This is 2026 in the era of billionaires, it is absolutely too much to ask for the average person. Dystopia 🌍

Denmark is better than the USA in every way.

This acute stress is why so many people do not have enough trust in the system to even think about claiming. This has wide ranging, long term consequences for the UK economy.

Growing numbers of over-60s Britons facing homelessness. Low wages/benefits. State pension is low. No curbs on profiteering. Real cuts in council funding for years. Lack of social housing. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Misery and premature death is a political choice.

Asked who would be running Venezuela now that we kidnapped their leader, Trump replied, "We are" and that "We're going to make a lot of money." This is insane. This is all insane and highly illegal and globally destabilizing. The United States has become a rogue nation. What's the world going to do?
