No Kings Means No Barons Yanis Varoufakis explains why resisting autocrats like Donald Trump requires challenging the oligarchs who enable them.

Turning the spotlight on the King while letting the barons off the hook will not stop Donald Trump. The illusion of the strong man who will fix everything cannot be dispelled by reviving the illusion that oligarchy offers us democratic choices. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/n...

Grooming gang victim still being groomed…. But by hard right handlers now.

A graphic showing four photos from the Exeter is for Everyone celebration in the city centre on Saturday 25th October to counter a far right march. The quadrants are divided by the St George flag. The photos show people holding placards saying: "Make racism wrong again" and "Choose Love."

This is Exeter.
Today and everyday.

The average student debt now stands at £53,000.

Almost half of graduates will spend 40 years paying off loans they’ll never finish.

This is not a fair or sustainable system.

There should be a Golden Green coalition formed for the next election - Greens, Lib-Dems, SNP & Plaid Cymru working together to stop the destruction of UK by Reform (their councillors have shown how abysmal & bigoted they are). Starmer's Labour are bad for the environment & act like Tory/ Reform.

A new UN report by @FranceskAlbs maps out the complicity of too many states in the Palestinians’ genocide. Their complicity shattered the notion of International Law. Our choice? Let Int Law fade into ignominy, or end third state complicity in genocide. www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

Heathrow’s third runway moves step nearer as Government launches review Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said her department is committed to making a decision on Heathrow expansion ‘within this Parliament’.

Masterstroke by Starmer/Reeves .... er not, just as Greens are on a roll.

Govt launches review and is committed to making a decision on Heathrow airport expansion ‘within this Parliament’.

Heathrow, like much of the UK infrastructure, is foreign-owned. Profits/Dividends will be exported.

Beef, pork, chicken: the world loves cheap meat. If people knew what really goes in it, that love affair would be over | Devi Sridhar Antibiotic use in farming is now rampant.

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.

A future marked by scarcity and disaster.

A future these people are accelerating.

That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

Albanese is about to do with rare earth minerals what Howard did with gas. Lock us in to a bad deal with very real environmental impacts.

“We Estimate That Nearly One Million of Gaza’s 1.1 Million Olive Trees Have Been Destroyed” Gaza’s olive groves have been bulldozed by the Israeli military, dried up from lack of water, or remain inaccessible, leaving Palestinian farmers with little to harvest.

Olive trees are central to Palestinian life. Israel’s genocide has destroyed nearly 1 million of Gaza’s 1.1 million olive trees.

YouTube video by Jared Starr How much carbon pollution does it take to create wealth for the richest Americans...a lot!

"The richest 10% is responsible for almost half of our carbon pollution. But even more shocking? When you look at just the richest 1%, they're responsible for more pollution than half of Americans. That's about 65 million households."

Updates: Israel kills at least 9 Palestinians in Gaza despite ceasefire Israeli army confirmed it opened fire on a group of people, saying they had approached soldiers before being targeted.

(PS) Estimates on how many times the Israelis had already violated the ceasefire prior to CNN reporting that Hamas may have violated it range from 9 to 47, confirming that there *never was* any ceasefire.

The whole thing was effectively a scam to give Trump an obscenely fake victory lap.
