Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

"Pull factors" on steroids.

Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money 37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

England's water companies have 1,200 criminal convictions.

They lose a trillion litres of water to leaky pipes. Dump sewage in rivers for 4m hours. Customers fleeced.

None has its licence revoked. No exec prosecuted. Corporate fines are not collected

Whatever happened to democracy, rule of law?

It's weird. Anywhere else they'd be armed thugs but in America they're "Federal Agents".
No consistent uniform.
No consistent weaponry.
Masks.
No official badges or identification.

In Finland, teaching media literacy starts in early childhood and lasts all the way through college... fundamentals of media consumption in elementary school, and through age-appropriate content analysis, they begin to hone their critical thinking abilities.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.

UK loses WHO status as measles-free after rise in deaths and fall in jab uptake UN health body says Britain is one of six countries in Europe and central Asia where disease has become re-established

FFS vaccinate your children!

The UK is among several countries to lose elimination status for measles today, the WHO has said.

It comes following a sustained surge in cases and an increasing number of deaths.

Let's not forget that Reform had an anti-vaxer speaking at their conference last year...

At a time of growing political instability and jeopardy, rejoining the EU isn’t an academic issue or one borne of nostalgia. It’s a matter of political necessity.

The USA now ranks in the top 10 countries in the world for State Violence which is the State using violent/fatal force against people who oppose it.

It isn't a safe place, don't visit, certainly not to watch a ball being kicked around or a person sprinting 100m.

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a β€˜gunman’ Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun

There's one vital thing that non-Americans can do right now - we must fight for the truth. Don't let Trump, Noem and Bondi get away with their egregious lies. Don't let them literally dictate reality.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich Mark Ruffalo, Brian Eno and Abigail Disney sign letter timed for WEF in Davos saying wealthy are buying political influence

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich.

They know that a hostile environment is not conducive to accumulation. They can increase real wages for workers.

Govt can tax super-rich at higher rates, impose wealth tax and redistribute.
