#Stanley v Salford tomorrow. Joe Bauress available which should bode well. We are the underdogs but there are signs e.g. Carabao Cup against Peterborough, that we can at least hold out own in League 2 and maybe, just maybe, get stuck into those top 10 positions. C'mon #AccringtonStanley

UN #Plastic Treaty talks near break down. As with climate change these processes are insidious, they require knowledge and commitment to reverse. The science is irreputable, the world is crying out for a legally binding treaty, courage and evidence based policies requires. shorturl.at/W3B3P

Trump's narcissism has no bounds. He invites Putin (who has an international arrest warrant outstanding) to a summit. There has been virtually no preparation by the Trump camp, the only reason seems to be to satisfy Trump's self love. A just peace requires perspicacity. #StandwithUkraine

US & Russia nearer to Ukrainian talks. This has #Trump's narcissism incompetent incoherence all over it. Witkoff sees Putin 4 a couple of hours, totally inadequate prep, should have been days. Trump's prep will be even less, perhaps a few minutes, then he's got to understand? #StandwithUkraine

Von der Leyen’s capitulation to charlatan #Trump becomes clearer by the day. International capital reallocates under pressures of Trumponomics & weakening dollar, the case for Europe to become a strategic investment power was strengthening. The EU must reject this deal & stand 4 justice & truth.

#Stanley v Gillingham tomorrow, first match of the new saeson. The Reds have been impressive in pre season form, now we've got to do it for real. Victories like the one over Rotherham must give us confidence, plus honing up the skilss of Rawson, Whalley, Martin et al. C'mon #AccringtonStanley

#Trump tariff catastrophe begins to reveal itself. US employment growth has been much weaker than previously thought over the last three months. Non-Farm Payroll report shows US economy added 73,000 jobs in July, far lower than expected. Trump's economic illiteracy now clear to all. #TrumpOut

#Trump's use of his hackneyed threats re #Canada 'trade deals' just shows how weak, how trite and how limited this man is. He can't handle difficult diplomacy, in fact he can't handle difficult anything. Firing off quick thoughtless one liners and telling lies are this inadequate man's currency.

The EU deal with the US of charlatan #Trump is very disappointing. However the chaotic Trump may not be able to celebrate too soon. The $600 billion EU investment in the US may be another Trump pipe dream as this cash depends on private investment without guarantee from the EU commission. #RejoinEU

🧠Climate change affects all aspects of mental health, however it is absent in 58% of national climate adaptation policies.

In a blog, @alemassazza.bsky.social & @jessnlv.bsky.social share new research by @climatecares.bsky.social & @unitedgmh.bsky.social on how to address this gap: buff.ly/Qlh5z8B

Human beings are 'ends in themselves' & as such possess 'inalienable rights'. One of these is the right to statehood. It is heartening to see these rights backed by many in the #LibDem and Labour ranks. The utter degradation of the Palestinian people is repulsive. #PalestinianStatehood #Peace

Runcorn MP's claims about street's 'problems' anger residents Reform MP Sarah Pochin voiced concerns about violence and anti-social behaviour.

#Reform MP Pochin mixes lies & hate to try to stir discontent & violence. Residents have exposed these egregious lies. Residents from Greenway Road, Runcorn have condemned Pochin's nasty trouble making, pouring scorn on her "baseless accusations", & "personal attacks". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Serious water pollution in England up 60%, government says Last year had the highest number of pollution events by water companies ever recorded.

The Tory Governments of the last 14 years have much to answer for. River sewage is a case in point. Regulators have clearly taken their lead from Tory ministers and soft pedalled on prosecutions. Wholesale change putting the public at the centre clearly needed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great news. UK & Germany sign Treaty, UK drawing closer to our European family, and further away from the madness of #Brexit. The #EU is a light in the darkness of a troubled world. We are stronger together. #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine #ClimateCrisis

Great to see President Macron's state visit to the UK. We have so much to share with our European family, we are stronger together. The greatest self inflicted injury, i.e. #Brexit, is being rolled back with massive support from the British people. #RejoinEU #StrongerTogether #ClimateCrisis

'Lucrative' Business Deals Help Sustain Israel's Destruction Of Gaza, UN Expert Says A report by Francesca Albanese named more than 60 companies, including arms firms, that she said are involved in Israel's "genocidal campaign,"

U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese rips into Israel & US re their appalling behaviour. Her Report, based on over 200 submissions, calls for companies to cease dealings with Israel. Executives to be liable under international law for their misdeeds. shorter.me/bKGSM #Palestine

Democrat Strategist rounds on #Trump for chaotic cruel thoughtlessness. Cutting health care 2 12 million Americans in the next few years, shutting down rural hospitals & getting rid of the social safety net. Trump promised he would not touch Medicaid or, Medicare, this narcissist is a charlatan.

An entire village in Dorset is facing eviction – proof that private money holds all the power in rural England | George Monbiot This scandalous story gives lie to the claim that the biggest threat to country life comes from city dwellers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The sale of Bridehead Estate shows that the UK's power balance is alive & well, the rich have trampled on the others. An evicted person who complained received the following 'young male refugees .. can have somewhere safe' accompanied by VOTE REFORM!' A disgusting email. shorturl.at/5Bfwr #RejoinEU

Farage says non-dom policy ‘very attractive’ despite tax expert cost warning The party leader said he was ‘not clever enough’ to answer questions about a warning over how the policy could hit Britain’s economy.

#Farage unveils another attempted populist policy that won't fool anybody. Reform's Britannia card will entitle the super rich, on payment of £250K, to avoid UK tax (including inheritance) 4 10 years. Yes, Reform will actually give super rich a free ride. Disgusting shorturl.at/UFFKz #RejoinEU

Brexit five years on: What was promised vs what we got Just three in 10 say exiting the bloc was the right decision, accoring to a recent YouGov poll

Brexit is expected to have a long-term 15 per cent hit to overall UK trade. The UK behaving obsequiously to #Trump's narcissistic & chaotic & cruel ideas. No wonder most UK citizens want to rejoin the #EU, and quickly. #ReoinEU #StandwithUkraine shorturl.at/QrKpr

(OBR) estimates #Brexit will cause trade to decline in the long-term by 15% and reduce productivity by 4%, relative to remaining in the EU. Researchers based at the London School of Economics found British exports had already reduced by 6.4% in 2022. shorturl.at/iooBc #RejoinEU

One can glimpse the chaotic untruthful mind of #Trump by his outbursts re today's Constitution Avenue parade. He lies about WW2 & WW1. The UK held Hitler at bay in 1940, & the Soviet Union lost at least 27 million, & between 1941 & 1944 accounted for 90% of Wehrmacht casualties. #ClimateCrisis

Government spending review shows a commitment to social housing which is to be praised. For 14 long & disgusting years the Tories treated social housing like a pariah, focusing on more expensive projects. We need growth now, which means getting ever closer to the EU. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis

#Trump's pardons of white-collar criminals who support his presidency and donate to his campaigns show the depths that this man has brought the reputation of the US. " they need to carefully explain why injustice was done,” Sen John Kennedy has said. Some Republicans still have morals.

It's vital that we preserve the planet’s largest carbon sink & diverse marine ecosystems. People's livelihoods depend on wise management & protection of the oceans, we are the custodians of this amazing environment, it would be unforgiveable to ruin it. #climatecrisis icriforum.org/events/beff-...
