First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

In the penultimate part of my series on W. Edwards Deming's System of Profound Knowledge, I talk about one of the best expressions of the system at work: Tesla allanpaterson.substack.com/p/teslas-vin...

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Rep. Lieu: “Were there any underage girls at any party that Trump attended with Epstein?” Bondi: “This is so ridiculous…There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that.” Lieu: “I believe you just lied under oath.” Bondi: “Don't you ever accuse me of a crime.”

Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business ‘success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these ‘self made tycoons’) Eg democracyforsale.substack.com/p/ineos-set-...

Trump's attorney general responded to questions from the House Judiciary Committee with insults, sarcasm and eye rolls.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

U.S. attorney’s office in D.C. failed to secure an indictment against the six BRAVE Congressional Democrats who made the video telling service members they could refuse illegal orders tRumps personal vendetta & BottleBlondi's marching orders rejected yet again! MAGA is falling #JustSayNO

Massie: "The recourse is that the next AG can bring charges against them for breaking the law. I think that's what compelled them to produce 3 million documents, and now they're claiming it's incompetence. They're defense today is incompetence for why they haven't given us all the documents."

This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

The Bannon/Farage/Johnson plot to topple May looks pretty damning by November 2018, but starts that summer when Johnson resigns. 15 July Bannon goes on Farage’s LBC show to lambast May. Epstein texts: “Good work on LBC”. Next day he tells Epstein he’s in “London with Boris”

The Super Bowl outrage on Twitter reminds me of one of the earliest supposed “legitimate concerns” touted about London - that if you travelled on the Tube you would hear people speaking languages other than English /1

I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...

Unredacted Epstein files opened to Congress as of today. Let's go Congress. Show your backbone. Let's drain the swamp!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #StopTrump

🚨BREAKING: Leaked footage from the ICE Baltimore Field Office shows roughly 50 detainees crammed into a holding cell with no beds or bathrooms, with detainees alleging beatings, lack of bathing, and hunger. This is deplorable. Make sure this gets seen and stopped.

In the fifth part of my mini series on "the master" W. Edwards Deming, we get to the part most managers find uncomfortable: allanpaterson.substack.com/p/drive-out-...

PFAS are linked to cancer and contaminate our water and food - yet chemical giants are lobbying to weaken protections to our health. Europe can still act. I just signed. Will you? action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-01...

Unbelievable that our government is in thrall to a *Israeli* prime minister who had to be publicly told by a *German* Chancellor that it was the *Nazis* who were responsible for the holocaust, not... the Palestinians.

Minnesota: DO NOT FALL FOR IT ! Pam Bondi and trump is trying to steal your votes. Their plan will eventually shutdown the midterms for entire US by attacking Americans! We will continue our protests which is legal but with no violence on our part. #sheshed #FuckICE youtube.com/post/UgkxjvW...

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Calling out Israel for its crimes, blackmail, and fascism is only unpopular among people who support Trump, ICE, genocide, and Epstein.

EU digital rights are under attack! @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu is weakening protections against Big Tech and its AI, instead of defending our democracy and privacy. Let's make our voices heard: demand she stands strong. Sign the petition now! share.greens-efa.eu/s/EdkThB2K

Seems team Starmer have decided to risk the backlash. news.sky.com/story/politi...

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, X… Clacton isn’t worth his time. He’s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here. It’s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Trump is totally out of control. America has become a fascist country. What more will it take until he is impeached. America he has destroyed everything your constitution stands for. Please make this stop.

The extent to which UK and other European policy elites seem intellectually or psychologically unprepared for scenarios where the US is no longer able to function as a geopolitical actor is rather worrying

🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.” (H/T @allenanalysis.bsky.social )

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I just signed the petition urging world leaders to create ocean sanctuaries and protect our blue planet. Will you do the same? act.gp/4mEvkl3

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social
