A new customs union with the EU isn’t a “simple fix”. It’s complex - but necessary. Rebuilding ties with Europe matters, especially as the US becomes more unpredictable.

Keir Starmer says he does not think Trump will use force to take Greenland. I think Starmer has exceptionally poor judgment.

This is the difference in cost between Public and Private Bus Services. Now calculate it for Water and Energy. Stop the theft, Renationalise everything.

Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand. We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is. We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

Did anyone else note that Starmer says he spoke to Trump yesterday and said he welcomed the role he is playing in Gaza? Pardon? What? He welcomes the post genocidal rebuidling of Gaza as a playground for the rich? Either Starmer is a fool, or he is very dangerous. He might, of course, be both.

'What finance really is, is playing around with other peoples' debts.'

When Trump says "one way or another we're going to have Greenland" - we should sit up and listen. Time for British leaders to stop burying their heads in the sand. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

"Make Hope Normal Again"👍

It's time to stop subservience to Donald Trump. And that starts with questions about how to stop US bases on UK soil and maintain our national security. www.lbc.co.uk/article/subs...

Palantir was a warning sign. Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment. All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...

In a move that has shocked campaigners - the Prime Minister - a former human rights lawyer - has shamelessly whipped against amendments to the Sentencing Bill which would have been a significant step towards ending the shocking #IPPscandal

Free bus travel for under-22s. Investing in young people and public transport to build a fairer, greener country! 🚌 💚

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you are wondering why ICE are attacking and arresting Native Americans who are obviously not migrants, it is because it was never about whether you are a migrant or not, It was about whether or not you are part of the Herrenvolk.

It’s crazy how it’s suddenly “wow we live in a police state” when it happens to white people

This always looked like a rather odd Nobel Peace Prize decision Now feels like the whole prize is so devalued it’s probably worth stopping Venezuelan Nobel Peace Prize winner presents her medal to Trump www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Earth's Energy Imbalance was over 10 Hiroshima bombs per second for the 4-year running average (showing less variability) too.. This rate of global heat uptake is impossible for us tiny humans to fathom.

It's not hypocrisy, it's capitalism. The bizarre behaviour of Western states and leaders often seems to betray a moral double standard. But in fact it is all perfectly consistent with a single standard, namely, the objective of maintaining the conditions for capital accumulation in the core.

You are absolutely shameless. You spent the past two years not only tolerating but supporting a genocide. bsky.app/profile/vond...

A gentle reminder to the world: FOR F&%KS SAKE, BOYCOTT THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP GAMES IN THE USA!!!

Our generation can learn from those like Erich Fromm who lived through Nazi Germany.

We could see as much global warming in the thirty years from 2020 to 2050, as over the preceding 90 years! The world is warming faster now than at any time in known history of our planet. See Generations of Global Warming: www.youtube.com/live/zmllNBR...

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

To wrap your head around this, you have to realize that THE SUN is constantly sending Earth a *massive* amount of energy. That energy could easily power our world. Instead it's cooking us under the pollution from burning fossil fuels — a vastly smaller, dirtier, and more expensive energy source.

The Government have u-turned on ID Cards. Good. Authoritarian plans to scrap jury trials need to go next.

This current financial system for the university sector does not work. It doesn't work for staff, it certainly doesn't work for students. And since a university is those two, it doesn't work for universities. Time for an urgent change to the financial system of #UKHE

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it. We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history. youtu.be/vL7_mwSNMvc?...

This is on Starmer, on Lammy, on Mahmood. Heba's impending death, it seems, is a matter of policy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is obviously the right decision. It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nadhim Zahawi would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage. Zahawi has deleted it, but it is too late.

-The US sanctions against Iran are specifically designed, by admission of US officials, to cause mass misery and social discontent to the point of instigating protests. This is a well-worn playbook for US regime-change operations.
