The post-US world is already taking shape – look at the massive EU-India trade deal | Ravinder Kaur
The ‘mother of all deals’ is as much about the tariff-heavy geopolitics of the Trump era as it is about bilateral trade, says Asian studies professor Ravinder Kaur

So we're supposed to believe that Trump wasn't behind January 6th??? This is very sinister. The capture of British media by the far right is one of the more horrifying developments of the last ten years. Lisa Nandy needs to use whatever influence she has to reverse the Tory/Trump bias at the BBC.

Frustrating how much of this asylum hotel report is being framed. This is absolutely something inherited by Labour from the Tories. Not only the Tories signing the contracts but the Tories stopping processing asylum claims from irregular arrivals.

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

The UK spends less on welfare than almost any EU country & yet Labour have allowed for the “scroungers” rhetoric to mask their cruelty. Again. Brits need to learn that they too can have nice things. They just need to stop falling for the most obvious propaganda & stop voting for neoliberals.
