We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges. www.thenerve.news/p/peter-mand...

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy. The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

The Voice of Hind Rajab is not an easy watch at all, but an essential one. #LastFourWatched

Remember when Edwin Poots just openly admitted on Twitter that the Tory government offered the DUP MPs bribes for votes in the form of of peerages and basically nobody actually reacted to it at all despite it being an open confirmation of corruption in Westminster from a high profile elected rep

This is spot on from Sonia Sodha

💥 Let's arrest Netanyahu and hold him in pre-trial detention until his war crimes trial in the Hague.

Trump's brand is all over D.C. He claims it wasn't his idea www.npr.org/2026/02/27/n...

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

One is too many. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5nelp5enpo

In 1981, Dinamo Tbilisi from Georgia - then part of the Soviet Union - lifted the Cup Winners’ Cup for the first and only time. For a brief moment, and seemingly against the odds, they brought glory to Georgian football.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws? Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

The president’s attack on Iran is about building an American dynasty - and stuffing his family’s coffers yet further ✏️ Matthew d’Ancona

Got home and I’m happy to find my new books waiting for me!

I watched Fredrik Gertten's Breaking Social film last night. It's excellent - powerful, moving, brilliantly explained. It's now touring the UK, so do look out for showings near you. www.breakingsocialfilm.com

Nigel Farage spent the weekend having dinner with a suspected paedophile, a sex offender, criminal and an adjudicated rapist.

Powerful photograph of Danish International Brigaders resting and eating during the Battle of the Ebro, 1938. They look like they've been through hell, thousand yard stares there, though a couple are smiling. Some 500 Danes fought in Spain. I think about 150 died.

The 7 minute Irish animation that is nominated for an Oscar. Worth a watch. #SpeirGorm

So Trump called Putin to get his orders. I hope I live long enough for the Kompromat reveal.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks www.monbiot.com/2023/03/09/t...

We’re in an unwanted war in an age of seemingly limitless information, yet it’s safe to say the average American has no possible reliable clue what’s going on over there cuz our government that would share any information is wholly untrustworthy, staffed w/ liars lying for a pathological liar POTUS.

People run for cover in Tel Aviv as missiles come from Lebanon -APNEWS This was all a ruse for the Mad Man of The Middle East to start a new war with Lebanon. He knew they would shoot a few rockets at Tel Aviv and it would allow him to do a full scale invasion of Lebanon and a another land grab.

If you needed proof Republicans are the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet, welcome to WA 🤷🏻‍♀️. Only damn Republicans would protest a tax on millionaires www.king5.com/article/news...

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦‍♂️ thesecretbarrister.com/2026/03/07/k...

1-"It’s not okay for grown adults to believe the United States wages wars to promote humanitarian interests and bring freedom and democracy to oppressed populations. It’s not okay for grown adults to believe that US soldiers fight and die to protect their country and its citizens.

This introduction of a key to the executive washroom is one of a hundred Wilder structural masterstrokes of The Apartment. Everything you ever need to know about screenwriting is in this movie. The repetition and lyricism of the picture means that the film is as much music as anything. #TCMParty

Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Great quick read from Robert Reich. The one thing we must all do, is that after tRump is gone, we have to get rid of every sycophant that enabled him. That is every MAGA Congressperson and staff member from every department. They all must go #BlueCrew

Two points: 1. They’re not “expats” they’re “migrants.” 2. Them abandoning their pets will hopefully give each and every one of these people just a little bit of insight into the incredibly hard decisions refugees have to make when they’re fleeing war zones.

A couple of days ago, the Reformorons were bigging up Farage, telling us he was going to meet Trump. Trump snubbed him (again) 😂 lol

Do you think the people who make the prepackaged sandwiches for shops take some small delight in being purveyors of misery or do they convince themselves they're carrying out a noble task

You sent a real estate agent to the Middle-East to negotiate peace? Really? Really?!?

"Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney underscored his frustrations with the video assistant referee during Saturday’s FA Cup defeat to Chelsea by reiterating the explicit chant delivered by his club’s fans: “FUCK VAR.”" 🤣

Vaccines save lives. Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease. In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.

Trump’s chaos and corruption are showing up where it hurts most — the economy. Weaker job growth. Higher costs for working families. This is what happens when government becomes a corruption machine serving one man instead of the country. As @corybooker.com put it: the toll is already here.

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices. It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

1937 Norwegian poster "Help the Spanish children" produced by the Norske Hjelpekomiteen for Spania. The more famous English version reads "What are you doing to prevent this?"

@reform-uk-official.bsky.social As chief Spokesnonce for Reform UK, the Nonce Party For Massive Sweaty Nonces, could you give me a figure for how much you will spend on Nonce Pimping the UK flag for political purposes & why you refuse to spend that enormous amount of cash on real important issues?

A final post on the Union Street fire for now. Thanks to all the firefighters from the Scottish fire and Rescue Service who worked tirelessly late into the night to ensure the fire was as contained as possible. Cont./ #glasgow #fire #citizenfirefigher #unionstreet #scottishfireandrescue

The saying “the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed” seems particularly apposite today.

Will we be forced to salute them all? Maybe a supervised pledge of allegiance every morning in your workplace, too? Daily mass meetings where we are expected to shout "Heil Nigel", and non-participants quietly disappear?

What’s up with companies handling automated phone payments like you’re attempting to break into Fort Knox? Is there really anyone out there who’s trying to pay my bills?
