Rachel Reeves doesn't have to cut billions of pounds from disability benefits. She could raise billions of pounds from a windfall tax on major banks instead. Choices, choices.

The world’s billionaires are now the greatest single threat to all of us.

The British government needs to do something to curb any influence Elon Musk tries to exert in the UK. They should pass legislation that effectively blocks foreign nationals and companies owned by them, fully or in part, from giving any donation to a U.K. political party. #ElonMusk

This is absolutely scandalous from Labour👇🏻 IT firm behind Post Office scandal bags government contracts for £24.6m Labour MPs called for a block on new contracts for Fujitsu Services while in opposition.

Liz Truss threatens to sue Keir Starmer unless he "ceases and desists" from alleging she crashed the economy. In other news, here's Liz Truss making the exact same allegation against Gordon Brown

The fact that the private sector has been involved in our #NHS for some time does not make it right or best for patients and the service #SirKeir #SaveOurNHs

Once again, when the Tories are given an opportunity to show some principled backbone, they refuse to take it. Their craven, Musk-appeasing racism, Tommy-Robinson-themed opportunism and failure to support Jess Phillips are all you need to know about the rancid mess that is Badenoch’s nasty party.

The destruction of the health system in northern Gaza will be total if Israel forces the closure of the Indonesian Hospital and al-Awda Hospital, say Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI). 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/e60abb

Happy new year. May it bring peace and prosperity to you all. And freedom to all oppressed peoples.

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs..” eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/fig...

I had the huge privilege of interviewing Jimmy Carter back in 2011 at his incredibly modest home in Plains, Georgia, with his wife, Rosalynn (who he bickered with in the most loving & curious way throughout the interview). An extraordinary man & legacy. RIP. www.theguardian.com/world/2011/s...

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

Labour's entire electoral offer was based on the promise of "growth." It was always clear they had no idea how to achieve this, but now they're even admitting it. news.sky.com/story/starme...

So who just watched Wallace & Gromit ~ Vengeance Most Fowl? Absolutely cracking! No spoilers... but we loved the "No Parkin" sign on the Lancashire side of the border! If you didn't catch it live, watch it when you can on iPlayer. Enjoy!

4.3m children are in poverty this Christmas. It’s disgraceful… Ending the 2 child benefit cap - the most efficient policy to lift children out of poverty – would cost £5.3bn A wealth tax could bring in £24bn/year. Imagine all the good it could do…

The NHS winter crisis is not just about overflowing hospital corridors and delayed treatments – it’s about the toll it takes on the very people who hold the system together www.bigissue.com/opinion/nhs-...

This is insane. Citizens of Greenland are Danish & EU citizens. You cannot just invade nor buy them. It follows Trump saying he would invade Mexico, take the Panama canal and make Canada the 51st state of the US. This is not a president who wants world peace.

Donald Trump threatens to take control of Panama Canal. Bullying a small country to submit snd force its population into poverty or else. Getting ready to blame Panama for the price hikes coming from his tariff increases. news.sky.com/story/donald...

All the evidence points to the Christmas Market attacker being an anti-Muslim far right sympathiser. But for the growing far right, facts and reality don't matter. Their strategy: scream a lie loudly enough so the truth is drowned out. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/german-ter...

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Let’s make 2025 the year we finally end one of the most shocking, cruel & monumental injustices of the past half-century - the #IPPscandal Lord Woodley’s Bill has passed its 2nd Reading. Will Keir Starmer give the Bill government time for a full & proper Committee Stage? youtu.be/nkBs2D0Wz_g?...

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

New Imperialism: Donald Trump says that the US owning Greenland “is an absolute necessity". As before, the idea is rejected by Greenland and Denmark. He thinks he can grab any territory that he wants. How many new conflicts will he start? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Israel is a mafia state.

Ministers resist calls to block Musk donations to Farage’s Reform UK. Parties know that change will hit their own coffers. So they do nothing to end hijacking of democracy by corporations/rich. Ban all political donations. Let parties rely on membership fees. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

When are we going to hit the tipping point where no one wants to receive a peerage because of the company they’d keep in the House of Lords?
