The child-in-chief raised tariffs on the world from 10-15 % using a different authority (that lasts just 150 days) because… He’s pouting and wants to feel strong. Regardless of your opinion of Donald, he’s a baby and this is stupid and the history books will judge us. Harshly.

"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."

Bolsonaro to Start Serving 27-Year Sentence Over Coup Plot

Brazil has a far superior legal and political system to the USA. For identical crimes, 1 man goes to jail, the other is given political & legal cover, able to stand for election again. Bolsonaro to Start Serving 27-Year Sentence Over Coup Plot www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/w...

So excited to be seeing my all time music hero in Seattle tonight!

It is the Great Unmentionable. MPs will discuss all manner of things, but not the royal family. Here’s why: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/monarc...

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?
Only one explanation now remains.
They do.
And it is what they want.

Why does @bbcnews give Reform & Farage headlines every day & the oxygen of publicity?! It’s the 5th largest party in Parliament. BBC are giving the public the impression that they could win the next general election. What happened to public service broadcasting?

Does not understand the job or the idea that he is the one person in the country who actually reports to all of us. That said this is why we are where we are.

The IPC has confirmed our worst fears. We cannot sit idle while this catastrophe unfolds.

Trump has the power to stop the devastation. He needs to pick up the phone to Netanyahu - today - and threaten consequences unless aid routes into Gaza are fully reopened.

Why on earth has the British government invited Trump on a second state visit next month? Unbearable

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation.

They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank.

Don’t fall for it.

@planetrockradio.bsky.social thanks for all the tributes to #ozzy love that man! Hearing ‘Ordinary man’ has made me weep. Thoughts with Sharon today

Rest in peace #ozzy what a life, what an inspiration. What legendary status & the great music.

How about the USA stops shipping missiles & bombs to Israel now? No more war crimes, or attacks on neighbouring countries. Time to #recognisepalestine

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

UK suspends Israel trade talks and summons ambassador over 'intolerable' Gaza offensive Foreign Secretary David Lammy says Israel's war in Gaza is entering a

Welcome if long overdue.

But unclear why UK is sanctioning "extremist settlers" - rather than sanctioning the genocidal war criminals in charge of the Israeli government.

Why are we closing our eyes to Gaza’s horror? We have reached the point at which Israel’s western allies must say ‘enough of this savagery’ — and actually mean it

@zarahsultana.bsky.social makes a good point, but, technically this isn’t genocide. Israel isn’t trying to exterminate the Palestinian population. It is brutally suppressing them, murdering, starving and degrading them though

Is this me? Lol
