Please read The Shock Doctrine Naomi Klein , honestly the USA as well as still feeding on weaker economies is also turning on itself . Thus book is a helpful analysis.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

NEW: First Minister John Swinney has said that devolution has 'reached its limits' and that the UK Government is holding Scotland back

This frucking mess isn't getting walked back any time soon. open.substack.com/pub/levremem...

Half of Scotland's land is owned by less than 1% of the people. We have some of the most unequal land distribution in Europe! It's time to curb the power of super rich land hoarders and start giving ordinary Scots and communities new opportunities.

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought. It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland. Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

This is how we turn our country around. Away from the forces of hate and division. We're going to do it together. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth. Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.” This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract. The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

I’m shocked.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss. If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This strikes me as pretty bad

Uncharacteristically sloppy reporting of a very important issue, this from the FT. It quotes "Fair Civil Justice" without mentioning it is a front for the US Chamber of Commerce and it quotes CMS without mentioning it is Fair Civil Justice's lawyers. on.ft.com/48gOSZv

I like Zack Polanski for the same reason I like Zohran Mamdani. He’s happy to stand for something. And in a world of pandering focus grouped bullshit politics, it’s really kind of refreshing.

Westminster and its English Establishment has always treated Scotland as a remote region of no particular priority. This article illustrates just one example of the result of this Anglo-centric culture. open.substack.com/pub/jackie12...

EPSTEIN FILES NOW !!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is uncomfortable to admit, but there is a small area in England's second city where people are just not integrated with the rest of society. Many of them hold views that arguably go against British values. Yes, we need to talk about the Tory conference in Manchester.

please do something. anything. please at least today educate yourself about the Balfour Declaration (signed in 1917) and the Mandate for Palestine (drafted in 1919). it's been 100+ years. that's how far back this injustice goes. the world has watched for a century. it should not still be happening

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
