Trump reportedly called Norwegian minister ‘out of the blue’ to ask about Nobel prize US president told Norway’s 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%.

Children’s care homes average profits of 23%.

Public money buys less. Higher taxes to pay for corporate profits.

Reeves’s Heathrow third runway report was commissioned by London airport The chancellor is under fire after a study cited as evidence for expanding the terminal to boost the UK’s economic growth was ordered by Heathrow itself

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves call for Heathrow Airport expansion is based on report ordered by Heathrow owners.

Data supplied by the airport itself. Independence?

Methodology previously rejected by Transport Dept as not fit for purpose.

Govt policy based on report not publicly available.

Women born in the 1950s — including thousands in Coventry — were robbed of their pensions.

This historic injustice, confirmed by the Ombudsman, has left many in hardship. Fair compensation is overdue.

Today, I stood with them, as I always will, and voted to right this wrong.

Electric planes, new fuel: Can Heathrow's third runway be green? BBC Verify assesses whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves' three key climate claims about the runway add up.

No.

And anyone who says it can is lying to you.

Climate Emergency. There's a clue in the last word.

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 🚨

Labour’s 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 £2.5bn.

Taxing capital gains at the same rate as wages raises £14bn.

Govts that gave £895bn 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

Our best wishes are with every fox out there today trying to escape the hunts.

And a big fuck you to the cowards that are hunting these animals for kicks

📚 Library patrons! Please check out a book you plan to read someday, but not right now. We won’t be able to tell you haven’t read it, it’s good for our metrics, and it prevents good books from getting weeded when they still have a kindred spirit out there.

I'm reading it. I'm teaching it. Let's read it together

Those of us researching this have been consumed by this debate, but most of it has been under the radar. Alice Speri has done an excellent job of reporting on the ruptures and getting many on the record.

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

Best not highlight who is doing it though, hey BBC?

Autism and mental health This resource looks at autism and mental health. It explains what autism is, how it’s diagnosed and what support is available for autistic people.

Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. This new publication by R . C . Psychiatry is an excellent resource for information and practical matters surrounding autism and mental health www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-healt...

COP29: UN climate talks 'no longer fit for purpose' say experts Call for change comes after host country Azerbaijan's president calls oil and gas a 'gift of God'

I looked for you! 😄

“When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice” Rupert Murdoch.
Elon Musk is the new iteration of the corporatised political demagogue, a technofeudalist who privatised social media under the illusion of the town square. Every click pays him rent.

She's right.

"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 😅

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 ⭐

Do Starmer voters know that Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses were board members of Sunak’s nationwide Freeports/SEZs consortia?
Most people don’t even know what an SEZs and Freeports are, designated jurisdictions with separate laws and regulations from the host country.
