A handful of tech barons now control the algorithms that shape what millions of people see every day. They can decide: • what trends • what gets buried • which voices are amplified • which political movements gain momentum That is extraordinary political power without democratic accountability.

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said Ukraine is the victim and has the full right to defend its territorial sovereignty and integrity by all means available to it. The statement was made during a joint statement with Polish PM Tusk in Warsaw. #Ukraine

As a former NATO chief identifies the necessity of ending UK military dependence on a no longer reliable or trustworthy USA, we thank our lucky stars we haven’t done anything really stupid, like let Farage, Johnson & co persuade us to turn our backs on EU allies… open.spotify.com/episode/2ANY...

Asra is a very impressive young woman with a powerful story to tell. I am a trustee of the charity featured in her film, founded to honour the memory of my friend Andy by helping people with no connections or privilege get a break in the media. Do watch it if you can. youtu.be/Stlz6CEXRGA?...

Good. It’s easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartens…

I demand a refund!

France's Emmanuel Macron is pitching a vision of Europe with stronger support for domestic industry through “Buy European” rules. Germany's Friederich Merz and Italy's Giorgia Meloni are unlikely to get on board. 🔗 #[politi.co/3OviIBp

Urging Trump to destroy the BBC is unforgivable. Truss, Badenoch & Farage would rather betray this country than offer the BBC or the British government their support against a narcissistic foreign liar and a threat to democracy. It’s an appalling betrayal. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-...

Nigel Farage sang antisemitic songs to Jewish schoolmates - and had a "big issue with anyone called Patel" a former schoolfriend has claimed. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...

Sexist, racist, fascist... Is there any ist that Nigel Farage isnt?

Oh dear it's all falling apart for Nigel Farage.

Brexit means we are losing out on some of the biggest talent in the world, and some of the UK's biggest talent are emigrating to Europe. We must restore freedom of movement.

I’ve known the source of this story for 30 years - and he’s never diverged from his account of Farage’s anti semitism. The only thing that’s changed is his willingness to take on anti semitic apologists

The EU will not be able to keep its markets open to Chinese exports unless Beijing takes decisive action to rebalance their trading relationship, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said after a summit today.

Tremendous opportunity for Britain here. Let's see if we can swap our riot-inciters for their cancer researchers.

Do keep up - it's 25% on 10% divided by the number of penguins on your island.

DON’T LOOK AWAY. Rumeysa Ozturk is a LEGAL visa holder and graduate student worker with the SEIU Local 509 union. She was kidnapped and disappeared by masked ICE agents on Tuesday. Immigrants are working people. This isn’t a separate fight. An attack on one is an attack on ALL of us.

In other words, Nigel Farage cosplays as a working class bloke or farming toff as required, courting the disenchanted & working class folk, all the while not giving a toss about their actual needs or turning up for his constituents. All the while advocating for healthcare exclusively for the rich.

“Given the largest factor by far stopping UK economic growth is Brexit surely now is the time for the government to have an honest and open discussion about the catastrophic damage it’s inflicted and continues to inflict on the economy”

Maybe it’s time for Keir Starmer to wake up the world rejoin the European Union except that we should use the euro and then create a European army if you really want to stir things up.
