Under President Trump's domestic spending agenda passed by Congress, the Kennedy Center will receive $257 million. That is six times what it normally gets from Congress annually. But no money for Medicare

Canada’s liberal party, led by Mark Carney, secures election victory after dramatic reversal of fortune
Party written off months ago secures fourth term in stunning comeback after Donald Trump’s threats boosted campaign * Results tracker * Joy for Liberals: follow the election results live Canada’s Liberal party has won a fourth term, capping a miraculous political resurrection for the party – and marking a landmark victory for former central banker and political novice Mark Carney as he prepares to face off against US president Donald Trump. Late on Monday, the Liberals had won or were leading in enough seats to prevent any other party from forming government, according to the national broadcaster CBC. As results from Canada’s Atlantic provinces and vote-rich Quebec and Ontario came in late on Monday, supporters at the Liberals’ election night party erupted in cheers. Continue reading...

UK Parliament recalled tomorrow for emergency debate on the future of British Steel. Must be permanent nationalisation, not temporary where public purse nurses the company and it is then sold to private sector. Need industrial strategy: Can't rescue steel/others without controlling energy costs.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Today was the day the idea of America died. The free world stands with Ukraine and Zelensky. America has crossed to the other side. What was seen in the White House can never be unseen. Or undone. There is actually no coming back from this disgrace.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

❗ 2025 is the year we need to see the government invest in social security to help turn the tide on hunger in the UK. It’s not right that so many people receiving Universal Credit are going without food and other essentials. And it doesn’t have to be this way.
