It baffles me that this doesn't get more coverage. Bin workers have been on strike in Birmingham for *A YEAR.*

I don't understand why this hasn't been dealt with. They are one of the most essential services, and will be experiencing extreme poverty by now.

Jeffrey Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson’s husband, emails show Epstein sent Reinaldo Avila da Silva payment in 2009

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in

Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero

1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

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.

'We need to stop our subservience to Trump': Zack Polanski questions US military bases on UK soil amid tariff threat | LBC Donald Trump repeatedly said the US

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.

Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong

New: Boris Johnson’s ‘Brexit Titanic success’ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:

a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Daily Mail owner strikes £500m deal to buy Telegraph titles Acquisition likely to trigger in-depth investigation by regulator after agreement between DMGT and Redbird IMI

BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia A contributor to Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot made the remark about the shadow justice secretary.

Why is the BBC apologising for one of its contributors making this entirely accurate description of Robert Jenrick and his actions? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My goodness this is so revolting.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

"A stain on humanity, which will endure for generations."

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

Mum 'traumatised' after dog walker pushes her in canal as she cycled to work Greater Manchester Police are investigating after the incident near Manchester city centre

A mum was pushed into a canal by a man walking his dog as she cycled to work.

This didn’t happen in a vacuum; it’s the result of years of anti-cyclist messaging that treats people on bikes as fair game.

We say we want more people to cycle, but ignore what it’s like for the people already doing it.

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable.

For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

This is ironic — we’ve been talking for a long time about how “short trips” make up a LOT of traffic in cities & have BIG implications for pollution and GHG emissions. So it’s a big opportunity to convert such trips to walking or biking trips.

But guess what — they’re ALSO REALLY BAD FOR YOUR CAR.

It’s time for angry left populism In a time of oligarchy and climate breakdown, politics must be oppositional.

"Progressives – including Greens – shouldn’t fear hatred of our politics any more than we should worry about anger at our economic system, rage at rising bills, or horror at genocide in Gaza. We should express that collective fury, and channel it"
