Trump says he is going to increase tariffs on Canada due to the wildfires

Excellent and essential letters here, laying to rest some pervasive myths about Carbon Capture and Storage, and raising further concerns about both the astonishing financial outlay and the vast climate damage it will cause.

I'm sure he spoke out against the sheer scale of scrutiny... sorry, I meant "coordinated pile ons" ... both Louise Haigh & Angela Rayner were up against from the press? Surely it wouldn't be one rule for Farage and another for everyone else?! 🤔 #NigelFarage #Reform #Grifter #FiveMillionBung

Mullin says that election officials in states that don’t cooperate with the Trump administration may face jail time

👏 Quite right.

Really weird, I could have sworn Trump made a big point about how foreign countries meddling in politics/elections was a terrible thing just 24 hours ago….

It occurs to me... If we had a time machine, what sort of money would IPL franchises be paying him now?! 🤔

🟡 MAGAZINE: ‘When the Herd Moves’: Britain’s Pro-Farage Press Finally Turns Against Reform In an industry that tends to bend towards power rather than against it, the recent media pivot against Nigel Farage is less surprising than it at first appears, writes Adam… Read the full story below.

Yes, the media has totally ignored all the other MPs who got £5 million dodgy donations and didn’t declare them. Every single one.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Go on @skynewsrss.bsky.social Ask him about this.

Harold Wilson, with a majority of four, had the courage to say that the winner of the Smethwick by-election would be greeted “like a leper” in Parliament. Ted Heath, trailing in the polls, fired Enoch Powell. The comparison with the Labour government and Conservative opposition now..oy.

In summary: He's panicked accountability is coming 11/3/26.

I know it's only a PCC election with low turnout but 11% for a party that happily accepts neo-Nazis as members is really bad.

'Patriot News' reporter Chris Atkins (scatatkins.bsky.social) was just kicked out of Liz Truss' CPAC conference for asking the wrong questions. So much for free speech.

Charlie Stayt, "You haven't given him a chance, have you, he hasn't even started?" Zack Polanski, "He's appointed James Purnell as chief of staff. This is a man who is a corporate lobbyist for private water companies"

Water companies reclassify bonus as retention payments, circumvent rules. Anglian Water CEO gets £1.3m retention pay. AW won't meet its regulatory targets. 44% rise in customer bills, sewage in rivers, 182m litres a day lost to leaks, criminal convictions. Govt/Ofwat do nothing. archive.ph/kmZz8

My prediction was on the money. Trump's speech tonight was bat s**t crazy. Honestly I don't think there's anything more that needs to be said except this: "Who won the 2020 election?" should probably be added as a standard question to insanity tests.

Donald Trump’s ambassador to Italy, Texas-based billionaire businessman Tilman Fertitta, has triggered controversy with a two-month diplomatic outreach tour of Italian seaside towns on his private $450mn superyacht. ft.trib.al/aSLRT2b

Ranvir Singh, "Are you still as a party in favour of legalising drugs, and how would that benefit society?" Zack Polanski, "Yes we are. The war on drugs is failing. It's pushing people with addiction to drugs into back alleys, that's fuelling gangs able to sell these drugs"

Trump's own file release tonight says Russia was working to attack Biden and boost Trump's re-election campaign.

[email protected], nailing it: Trump delivered a "proof of dementia video."

Andy Burnham, "Britain took a series of wrong turns in the 1980s" "The country surrendered control of the essentials: housing, water, energy, transport, and left people exposed to higher costs" "The right use the phrase, take back control.But they are the ones who gave it away in the first place"

James Graham has at least one scene for his next show

I mean, if this ever got to court, she would struggle to explain this message

"This change today is the most significant moment in our politics for 40 years," says the man who has committed to stick to the last Labour manifesto.

If I were a pensioner living in Barnsley, who'd been taken in by Farage's guff about opposing winter fuel payment cuts, I reckon I'd be feeling a bit hacked off right now! Farage is a liar, and Reform don't give a damn about poor people. Simple, really... 🤮 www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politic...

This is about Hegseth’s testosterone program. Fox is a disgusting, toxic, revolving network that platforms the worst of humanity, peddles in lies, and pays people well to put it all on full display. But this seems to be what their viewers want, which says a lot about them as well.

Congratulations to the government on saving 2700 jobs by nationalising British Steel. Now, about the 18,000 university jobs lost in the last 18 months, with more coming…

Boy he must have really been hoping no one would look at the documents he talked about tonight because they underscore what I've been saying for 6 years, which is that the Trump-Ukraine Scandal was infinitely worse than people thought from the facts revealed during Impeachment #1

📌 ICYMI — ‘The BBC’s Ill-Conceived Cuts Sacrifice Journalists In Order To Save Managers’ The BBC is sacking journalists whilst leaving layers of largely superfluous and expensive management in place, argues former BBC reporter Patrick Howse

Of course he won't. Dems need gameplans for what happens next, including for some variant of early January 2021

The anti-rural crusade is in large part because the technofascists want to build AI centers in heavily rural areas and they want activists to abandon the people who live in those areas and let the environment be destroyed. It was a preemptive propaganda move and assholes are falling for it.

Resistance is not futile

From Day One, Trump's get-out-of-jail-free plan has reeked of corruption. Now, a federal judge is saying loud and clear that it’s illegal. The Trump administration is breaking the law by shielding Donald Trump and his family from tax audits.

No longer a joke candidate, Count Binface offers a manifesto that delivers far more for Clacton than Farage ever has.

Tonight Americans are going to hear that 1+1=256, that black is white, that a lie is the truth. How they respond to that claim will determine whether democracy and the rule of law will persist in the USA.

Far right ideology over children’s safety

Traders at Brixton market fight back against private equity takeover of the site, want community ownership. PE will kill the market, currently owned by a Texas billionaire. Once it is gone, it's gone forever. Solidarity for resistance to big business, PE and financialisation of everything.

👏👏👏

So a commodities expert on #Channel4News has just stated that China usually purchases 11 million barrels of oil a day, but is now buying less than 6 million barrels a day. HOW? Oil stockpiles, EVs, coal, population using less, but the mechanics is a mystery in the oil market! Any pointers pls???

My question to the Secretary of State today, following the news Cheltenham council will be abolished and replaced by a single council for the whole of Gloucestershire. I remain concerned about the future delivery of local services.
