You have a two party system where each party is right and further right wing. This isn't normal, so you have abnormal situations - massive firearms issues, horrendous health care, pro mega corporations, strange religious behaviour, racist, misogynis, nationalist propadandat, imperialist, etc...

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit

Because of Brexit, the exchequer “will lose the thick end of £100bn in tax revenues this year”

Far from having to raise £26bn in extra taxes, Rachel Reeves could have raised spending on health, defence, infrastructure, etc and still had money to spare…

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Meet two heroes of our times.

UK using more wood to make electricity than ever, Drax figures show Giant biomass plant reveals burning of wood pellets made 9% of UK’s electricity in July, its largest ever monthly share

UK using more wood to make electricity than ever, Drax figures show.

Drax burns wood, the most expensive electricity, biggest UK polluter.

Drax is highly profitable. Received subsidies for years, will receive £458.6m a year between 2027 and 2031. Govt doesn't take any equity stake.

I'm sorry to have tell you but Tory2 are in power.

David Lammy's Plans to Scrap Automatic Right to Appeal Risk 'Increasing Miscarriages of Justice' Lawyers and legal campaigners say the changes risk removing "vital safeguards" and shutting out vulnerable defendants from justice

This hasn't had much coverage, amidst all the debate about jury trials, but there is also a lot of concern about Lammy's plans to remove the automatic right to appeal

Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure, says The Telegraph.

Brexit Effect:

UK GDP down 8%
Investment down 18%
Productivity down 4%
Employment down 4%
Immigration not cut
No trade benefits
No regulatory freedom

Why do some still vote for Farage?

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

More than 220 judges have now rejected the Trump admin’s mass detention policy The number has skyrocketed in recent weeks and includes at least 20 judges appointed by Trump himself.

More than 225 judges rule Trump mass detention policy is in violation of law and right to due process. Those judges were appointed by all modern presidents — including 23 by Trump —

Nike, Superdry and Lacoste ads banned over green claims The advertising watchdog said the retailers misled shoppers with their 'sustainability' claims.

Nike, Superdry and Lacoste ads banned over misleading green claims.

In the era of predatory capitalism lying, misinformation and fleecing have been normalised, to boost profits and exec pay.

No exec fined. No incentive to stop.

Screen shot from the end violence against women coalition decrying racist weaponisation of sexual violence

Police inaction on sexual violence against women & girls laid bare again.

A culture of impunity for misogyny.

Almost 1 in 3 women experience rape or domestic violence.

Over 90% of perpetrators are known to victims & 1 in 2 rapists are partners or ex-partners. #r4today

Jury trials scrapped for crimes with sentences of less than three years The reforms are being brought in to tackle unprecedented delays in the Crown Court.

Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped.

Bad move

Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty.

Poor and minorities at the mercy of toff judges.

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal' - Ofsted The Children's Homes Association says there is no clear national plan and government must 'fix the system'.

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal'.

Charge up to £30,000 a week per child.

Poor regulation. Lack of capacity as the sector was privatised. Profiteering rife. Councils spent £8.1bn on children in care.

Why are so many children in care?

Thames Water half-year profit leaps to nearly £400m after it raises bills by third Revenues jumped 40% to nearly £2bn after debt-ridden utility hiked water bills sharply in April

Thames Water half-year profits leap to £386m after bills rose by nearly a third.

Leaks and sewage dumping will continue for years.

£20bn+debt. A third of the bill covers interest payments.

Captive customers have no choice.

End the scam. Nationalise water.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Voters say Reform UK is more ‘pro Russia’ than anti-Russia in fresh blow to Nigel Farage Why doesn’t Farage launch an investigation into his party on Russian links?

I wonder why...

Sir Lenny Henry and Paloma Faith lead celebs backing anti far-right campaign TOGETHER, an alliance of campaigners, unions and civil society groups, is being launched to counter the rise of Reform and street protests led by far-right agitator Tommy Robinson

Labour (or Starmer, since he claims that the party and all its decisions are his) didn't seem bothered about the children who were growing up in poverty due to the 2 child benefit cap for 18 months on their/his watch.

You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion.

This is getting utterly ridiculous now

I alluded to that at the end of my posts.

It's decided.

Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all.

Energy independence starts now.

Remembrance: 75 years of the ECHR The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) celebrates its 75th birthday this month – like all elders, it has a lifetime of wisdom to share

"In the ashes of war... Europe pulled together to create collaborative bodies designed to prevent a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany.

One such body was the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)."

Reform vote to raise council taxes for the poorest in County Durham Planned council tax reforms will impact the poorest in County Durham

Failure on the UK's part due to running scared from US financial and power blackmail?
