Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister โout of the blueโ to ask about Nobel prize
US president told Norwayโs finance minister he wants the Nobel peace prize, according to the Norwegian press
Trump called Norwegian minister to ask about Nobel prize.
He bombed Iran; wants to takeover Greenland, Gaza, Canada, Panama; inflicted violence on US citizens; destabilised world economy.
The man-child is no Mandela or Mother Teresa. Nobel Prize would be devalued if given to Trump.

Delete your old emails to save water, says Environment Agency
Emails and photos stored on the cloud are supported by large water and energy-demanding data centres
Delete your old emails to save water during drought, Environment Agency tells Britons.
This is desperate.
How about building new reservoirs; renewing old pipes; not contaminating rivers with sewage; building a national grid, ending privatisation.

How we can fight back against the right-wing coup
For a better future the power of corporations and wealthy elites must be curbed and reversed
Right wing coup = profits for corporations.
Services privatised.
Adult social care, profit margins of up to 42%.
Privately owned cataract surgeries, profit margins 32% - 43%.
Childrenโs care homes average profits of 23%.
Public money buys less. Higher taxes to pay for corporate profits.

We can rebuild the NHS without privatisation. We do not need to involve private companies in the delivery of patient-facing public healthcare.
The only people who benefit from NHS privatisation are private company shareholders ๐จ

Labourโs drift to the right could risk Keir Starmer being a one-term prime minister
The government's honeymoon has been short lived.
5.2m children, 36% of UK children, live in poverty.
Ending the two-child benefit cap would lift 500,000 out of poverty, cost ยฃ2.5bn.
Taxing capital gains at the same rate as wages raises ยฃ14bn.
Govts that gave ยฃ895bn QE to speculators, can also end poverty.

We don't need think tanks, or right wing politicians to tell us what the NHS needs.
1) invest in the NHS to repair years of underfunding.
2) cancel/pay off crippling PFI
3) end privatisation and outsourcing to stop money going to greedy CEOs
4) pay NHS staff a fair wage to fix the staffing crisis

Appalling. Remote controlled drones being used to hover over, look at, and then cynically shoot children ranks amongst the sickest cowardice ever.

"They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them,
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

A picture of the cover of the book, Ursula K. Le Guin - The Dispossessed. The cover has an illustration of a man on a desert world. A futuristic transport zeppelin is behind him.
Just read my first ever @ursulakleguin.bsky.social book and it was *fantastic*. I am now going to have to read all of her books ๐
The themes of anarchism, politics, and academia were so so well done, and her writing was fabulous. Every paragraph was beautifully crafted and thought-provoking. 5/5 โญ
