'This is no longer a risk, it is an emergency,' explain climate experts to more than a thousand British MPs and civil society leaders. theecologist.org/2025/dec/01/...

Breaking: Costco is suing Donald Trump for his tariffs, declaring them illegal and demanding a “full refund” for raising prices nationwide.

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.

Trump: Pete said it didn’t happen. He said he has nothing to do with that. I wouldn’t agree with that. Leavitt: It happened. It was ordered by Admiral Bradley. But it was justified. Hegseth: We stand by Bradley & the decision he made entirely on his own without our knowledge.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

UK Govt bends to Trump's imperialism. NHS to pay 25% more (3bn) for drugs after UK–US tariff deal. Money will buy less, higher taxes or longer healthcare queues as Trump wants bigger profits for US companies. Build your supply chains or be blackmailed. Whatever happened to 'take back control'?

If you are incredibly ignorant and can only understand one thing. Understand it is the really rich people robbing you and taking all the money. It is so obvious that you shouldn't even need to be told.

The path forward for Democrats is to embrace economic populism AND social justice — not one or the other. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AymVXqZ6CRw

Proud to stand on the Unite picket line in Birmingham this morning. Labour-run Birmingham city council tried to fire and rehire bin workers, cut pay by £8,000 & then brought in agency staff to break the strike. Now those agency workers are on strike too over allegations of bullying & blacklisting.

After days of denying the story as “fake news,” now Karoline Leavitt says OF COURSE they ordered a second strike, and it was very legal and very cool, and they found an Admiral to take the fall to protect Trump and Hegseth. I hope Admiral Bradley is lawyering up.

BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong." Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit. He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Farage would actually turn up in the House for THAT vote!

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B. Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct. A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Cut Trump out of all talks on Russia-Ukraine relations! 1. Trump overwhelmingly supports Putin's aggression, even voting for it in the UN. 2. Trump has given no military or financial aid to Ukraine. 3. Trump issued an ultimatum to Ukraine to effectively surrender by Nov 27. /1

Hello Putin doesn’t want peace; he wants Ukraine. Help Ukraine keep him on his side of all borders or Europe is next. This has gone on too long. Putin needs to be defeated.

“Europe must now fight to save Ukraine and itself as bravely as Ukraine has been fighting to save itself and Europe for a decade. The resources are there, but the courage is not. STOP pretending Trump will ever turn on Putin and face reality and fight.” - Garry Kasparov

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Labour’s economic plan will take years to deliver, Starmer says. Made difficult by poor policies. Could have Aligned taxation of dividends and capital gains with wages, lift personal allowance. Nationalised energy/water, end profiteering, cut inflation, reduce business and household costs.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP. But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion. He said it was a “hoax”. He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference. Why?

Understanding that Russians see agreements and treaties only as tools to further war aims, President of Poland rightly explains that Russia is nothing but lies, upon lies, seeking only to destroy – the only thing they know.

Greenwash England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record. Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards. And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

This week could be pivotal for diplomacy. It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

The budget didn't bother the powerful. No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues. No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020. Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare. 85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.

So what can Frank do to change the fortunes of Spurs? In my opinion, he needs to get out of his own way. Go back to basics. The players don't understand what he wants, or they can't pull it off. Were set up differently every match and don't perform. 🧵 #Spurs #THFC #COYS

Rachel Reeves has given us a masterclass in how NOT to run a budget. We got leaks, U-turns, political theatre, but almost no real economic planning. In this video, I explain what’s gone wrong and how we could get a rational budget. We deserve better than this. youtu.be/Knt4hMH1IMY?...

After all this time, there’s no way we can bow to Putin in Ukraine! Remind Congress that the fight against Russia is far from over.

How will we protect the Midterm vote fm this crooked asswipe and his “perfect computers”??? Felon47 has eliminated all the ppl that monitor election interference. We have no safety net.

Pardoning of these criminals should be front page news everywhere.

We already live in a perpetual state of class warfare. It’s called capitalism. The socialist response is not to convince the ruling class to play nice (or 'learn MMT'). The socialist response is to support people to fight back. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/on-mmt

The U.K. creates its own currency, owns its own central bank & doesn’t have any foreign denominated debt. So taxes just help regulate inflation & inequality by removing excess government created pounds from the economy. This is good for thought youtu.be/WvIyRN3XOLs?...

Keir Starmer, "Tax rises do make life harder for people, I understand that, it's obvious" It's also obvious that a wealth tax of 1% on those with £10m+ would NOT make life harder for the rich - thats also obvious 🤷‍♂️

Ukrainian forces released a video showing anti-drones capable of intercepting jet-propelled Russian drones. It is underlining once again the importance and ingenuity of Ukrainian engineering and production in this sector.

2014: “I admire Putin as an operator” 2010-14: Appeared on Russia today 17 times 2017: Knighted by a 7 year old girl on RT 2022: blames EU for Russian invasion 2024: “We provoked this war … of course it’s his fault – he’s used what we’ve done as an excuse” Is this not dodgy?

🔴Nigel Farage’s ‘Project 2029’: The Pro-Trump Lobbyist Pushing His Agenda Into the UK Trump-aligned lobbyist who hosted Farage’s meeting with a January 6 rioter is funding and advising the Reform leader while pushing Project 2025’s hard-right agenda into Britain bylinetimes.com/2025/11/24/n...

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Why are two self-serving US businessmen (Witkoff and Kushner) going to see Putin in Moscow? Do they represent the US? No! Are they suspect of being utterly corrupt? Yes! This says all you want to know about Donald Trump. Should we ignore them? Yes!

Incredible, but not surprising, that Trump complains about corruption in Ukraine. 1. Trump is the most corrupt US president ever. 2. Zelensky & Ukraine's institutions have stood up against corruption in Ukraine. 3. Trump's favorite Putin is even more corrupt than Trump.

Why Europe has to act fast: 1. The more funding Europe gives Ukraine, the earlier the war can end with a Ukrainian victory. 2. Faster funding means less total cost. 3. It also means far less Ukrainian losses. 4. Which also cuts the reconstruction costs. 5. & safeguards democracy.

This should be the law of the land.

BBC describing Zarah Sultana as "Far-Left." But the BBC do not use the term "Far-Right" for Nigel Farage. Subtle and clever form of manipulation.

Spurs are in a pickle. A big, angry pickle. The board cannot justify its high ticket and merc prices if we are not competing for trophies. It is clear as day we are not at that level. They won't say we're rebuilding, reduce prices, and that this might take a few years. It will. #Spurs #COYS #THFC

The one good thing about Spurs this season is that the women are actually performing far better than I've ever seen. Would love to see them in the stadium, although now I think it might be cursed. Kick-off times not all at midday and not stuck behind the Sky paywall. #Spurs #COYS #THFC #WSL

They're all kicking off. The last gaps of the old broken system that protected their power & wealth. Change is coming. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Understand Trump is accusing others of treason BECAUSE HIS MO is to accuse others of what he is doing and to curb democrats from holding him to account lest we look as evil as he is. TRUMP IS A TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY AND OUR CONSTITUTION. Make no mistake. #ImpeachTrumpNOW

Playing with Fire. British banks expect their capital requirements to be eased. Lower capital requirements and higher leverage to be permitted as post-2008 crash reforms scrapped. Banks will do more gambling to boost profits. Public purse will bear the cost of bailouts. archive.ph/hygat
