How the BBC kowtowed to Boris Johnson. Amazing that, even though we now know what a corrupt, mendacious, useless Prime Minister Johnson was, the BBC are kowtowing to him again

"Everything that China does is covered by the national security law in China, and that means every single company has to co-operate with the Chinese authorities in handing over data." Shock, horror, China flexes its muscles and puts backdoors in foreign products.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Sanction evasion incl by way of Russia's trading partners (i.e. India, Caucasus, Central Asia) has plagued the West since the war began - Germany and Bulgaria conducted raids in the summer against firms who were evading. Incredibly embarrassing for the UK, most vocal in this, to be failing too.

Nothing to see here... Nothing at all. Trump's "Detachment 201", also known as the Executive Innovation Corps, is formed of US technology executives directly commissioned to the rank of Lieutenant colonel. Advisor to our Labour govt, Mr Singham, features again 😏 share.google/0gol78rdSO2A...

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

Iconic appearance with Judi Love on The Last Leg 💚🎉

It’s as if they think we’ve all been in a coma for the last 15 years, rather than watching the Tories smash it all up in front of us. Very good on our ‘let’s-not-bother-with-right-wing-racism-or-Farage’s-corruption-and-let’s-blame-Labour-for-everything’ media. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

When will somebody lock one of these corrupt b@st@rds up. 🤬🤬

The West really does need better than this senile serial liar. He not only tells the most egregious falsehoods, he also believes them when they come from the mouths of others, without a shred of evidence. #Trump is a dangerous, fascist lunatic 🤮 www.bbc.com/news/article...

London has joined the Swimmable Rivers Alliance. Our rivers have been neglected and damaged for far too long, with shameful levels of pollution harming our waterways. I’m determined to clean them up.

Last night in Leeds, I joined a powerful demo after recent attacks on brown women across the UK. I almost didn’t want to speak — because it’s women’s voices that need to be amplified. But this had to be said. If I say Sarah Everard, most people know that name. If I say Sabina Nessa, far fewer do

2m UK pensioners live in poverty, 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension. Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending. Britons receive pension for fewer years than most.

The government has STILL not cleared out the highly partisan decision-makers imposed on the BBC by the Tories. Starmer and co are so amazingly spineless and feeble. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This whole millionaire/billionaire/trillionaire infiltration of the highest levels of government has to be the most singularly destructive threat to western democracy we have ever faced in our history.

Wes Streeting talking about "the racism of the 1970s and 1980s" is a useful cue to consider - what changed to strengthen antiracism norms from the 1990s? - why & how is that being challenged now? - what practically is needed to change + reverse that? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is the context for that still picture that's been going around.

Blair wants to ban workers rights. Join the dots The nationwide rollout of Freeports, SEZs, and AI Growth Zones are carve outs where different laws and regulations apply separately from the host country.

And this is exactly why AI cant be trusted. When billionaires control the algorithms its all about disinformation and manipulation, not the truth.

Oligarchs and extreme wealth inequality are your real enemies. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not China. Not gay or trans people. Not the "War on Drugs" or "War on Terror". Billionaires are the enemy. Destroy them.

Great initiative to engage, learn from and increase employment within local population.
