Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

Has Nigel Farage or Zia Yusuf remembered who Nathan Gill is yet? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

“Survival of the fittest” is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used. He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed. We must change Or die

Follow the money...

In this week's Sunderland Echo : Farage is bad for business.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Swedish Deputy PM: Sweden needs to pick its friends wisely, and we are choosing Canada… So when we come to America, we come to Canada now.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. “It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning. The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This year, new wind and solar will more than meet growing power demand globally, keeping fossil fuel consumption flat, analysts project.

"Hey, look over there!" The next distraction begins...

Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters. Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

This is more concise and more insightful than anything I have read in the last 50 years. drwhy.net/freud Please retweet if you agree with that analysis.

Nigel Farage said their flagship council in Kent would be a "shop window" for how they would run the country. Just months after taking over they're now set to slash multiple council committees as they struggle to fill posts after sacking nine of their own councillors bylinetimes.com/2025/11/12/r...

Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

That final point is absolutely crucial.

This is very encouraging, but am still bemused by the 40% of people, including a third of Labour supporters, who presumably think ever intensifying climate breakdown will be just fine.

No point in compromising with people who want to destroy you. Time for BBC to return to proper balance and insist on interviews reflecting votes at the last election instead of always having Farage on and rarely a Green or a Lib Dem. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Pandering to far right & endlessly interviewing Farage doesn't work. Oligarchs want to destroy independent journalism. Interview time should properly reflect votes not supporters of a foreign President who hates exposure of his lies www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Majority of people not proud of post-Brexit Britain, new survey reveals www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier. No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

Usual preview piece for #COP30. Glad to see the focus on indigenous methods and knowledge www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ed Miliband is entirely right about this. There are legitimate critiques of specific climate policies, but much of the criticism is either scientifically illiterate denialism or ‘it’s just too hard’ defeatism - and often it’s both. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
