Gas prices up by around 50% today.

A painful reminder that relying on imported fossil fuels is a risky strategy.

If this continues the pressure on Trump will be severe.

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet.

This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

It seems increasingly unlikely that humanity will survive Boomers clinging to power.

UK launches operation to support thousands of Britons in Middle East Officials are understood to be working on plans to evacuate British nationals, should airspace remain closed.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model).

If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that.

The USA is a rogue terrorist state, led by a fascist loon, which poses a threat to us all.

We must stand with ALL its victims.

That means standing with Venezuela.
That means standing with Greenland.
That means standing with Cuba.
And yes, that means standing with Iran.

Hannah, we are so happy to welcome you to Parliament and to the team of @greenparty.org.uk MPs! 💐💚☀️

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Thousands of pollution incidents in England downgraded without site visit, data suggests Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in ‘serious’ to ‘minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

Corruption in England's water industry and its regulation

2,778 serious pollution incidents reported in 2024.

Officials downgraded 2,735 (98%) to minor incidents.

Only 496 attended before downgrading; the rest were deemed minor.

Regulators collude with industry, inflicting harms to people.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

Thousands of patients waiting over 24 hours in A&E 'corridor care' Known as

52,000+ patients waited longer than 24 hours to be admitted to hospitals across north-west England.

Many wait for up to 3 days. Govt doesn't publish full data

Tory austerity, NHS neglect, refusal to tax the rich inflicts misery.

And it continues. The NHS needs more capacity, not privatisation.

Harrods faces legal action over £1-a-head dining charge not going to staff Case brought by 29 workers and backed by UVW union seen as test case that could lead to changes at other restaurants

Harrods facing legal action over its £1-a-head cover charge to diners’ bills that does not go to workers.

Law requires that all tips and service charges go to staff.

Qatar-owned Harrods hands the 12.5% optional service charge to workers but not the compulsory £1-a-head cover charge.

Starmer has claimed in writing there was no wrongdoing. We live in one of the most corrupt nations on earth, during the most corrupt period in several centuries of its history

Everyone in and around Labour who clung to the “sectarian”/family voting narrative to excuse defeat should be ashamed of themselves.

It is taking us to a very dark, Trump-like place.

A great essay.

Green party membership in UK passes 200,000 after byelection victory Party leader Zack Polanski says surge in numbers ‘proves that the future of progressive politics belongs to the Greens’

Green membership surges past 200,000.

UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, says Starmer The prime minister says it remains the case that the UK will

UK allows US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites.

UK getting sucked into illegal US war.

No UN mandate for regime change. The powerful running amok.

What if Russia copies the US and murders Ukrainian president?

There will be turmoil for generations. And Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize.

They belong in the Hague. The lot of them.

YouTube video by Sky News Jeremy Corbyn: 'It's an incredibly difficult situation' in Iran

The United States and Israel have jeopardised the lives of millions of people with their reckless, illegal and unprovoked attack.

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures.

It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

[SOME LIKE IT HOT] And, of course, there's Marilyn Monroe (in perhaps her most characteristic role, which means that she's both charming and embarrassing). (1959)

Also, the President of BAFTA shouldn't be Prince William. This isn't even an anti-monarchist thing (okay, it is): Surely that position should be held by someone with a deep love of cinema and history of contributing to its welfare?

I wonder if the huge spike of inflation we’ll be getting will pop the AI bubble. Data centers are incredibly energy hungry and the price of energy is going through the roof. If this is the trigger then it's much more likely to carry through to the rest of the economy and become utterly catastrophic

The US and Israel's illegal and unprovoked assault on Iran, even amid negotiations, risks making the world an even more dangerous place.

Our government should loudly condemn this flagrant violation of international law, which could have catastrophic consequences for humanity.

The question any sane media system would be posing rn is what can be done to restrain the US & Israel.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

There’s a scenario here — not yet the central scenario by any means — where we have to revisit the debate about how to handle inflation driven by external supply shocks AKA terms of trade shocks and reconsider the lessons we failed to learn in 2023-24. Policy interest rates are a blunt tool.
