UK govt admits that England's water industry is controlled by criminals. All water companies have criminal convictions. Their licence to operate not cancelled. Still allowed to fleece captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, create health hazards, extract cash, enrich shareholders.

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Russians are openly publishing footage of deliberately targeting Ukrainian rescuers with drones, — State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Terrorists.

Top White House officials used disappearing messages on Signal for top-secret national security discussions—violating federal law & risking our security. Even worse? A participant was in Moscow. Congress must investigate. This betrayal cannot stand . adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-signal...

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

The moment a Russian drone hit a Kyiv residential building. This is the terror Ukrainians endure every day.

I'm on the left on most issues, but the way that Nayib Bukele has dealt with organized crime is absolutely exemplary and should be adopted all over the world. I simply cannot fathom people crying over the human rights of criminal gang members who have committed the most horrific crimes.

This week's book. Yarr!

One of these things is not like the others

Wealth Tax. Pass it on.

#Nocuts #Taxtherich. Coming to Bristol today: the campaign for a wealth tax sponsored by the Patriotic Millionaires.We will be there reporting on the event. The van will be at the University (11am approx) before crossing the Suspension Bridge, then on toTemple Meads at about 3pm.

Ukraine is bombing Russian oil facilities to damage their ability to wage war. Russia is bombing Ukrainian hospitals to show the world that Russia is a depraved and degenerate nation that places no value on human life.

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥

UK food and drink exports to the EU down 34% since Brexit www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Can someone with a military background explain why this isn’t an act of war? The victim is a “US-flagged” vessel “at anchor in the North Sea and carrying huge amounts of jet fuel for the US military.” The deliberate attack’s aggressor is a Russian captain.

Ukraine's emergency service showed the moment of russia's double-tap attack while first responders were rescuing people in Kryvyi Rih. This is a major war crime. russia can't get away with it.

Footage of a repeated Russian strike on rescuers during the aftermath of a missile attack in Kryvyi Rih.

Our actual enemies *and* the BBC’s commercial rivals hate everything that makes it important & valuable. (And they don’t help themselves much these days in all sorts of ways.) But this is a crucial test of the current government’s resolve.

Gentle reminder that the quaint European pedestrian streets filling your Instagram feed were very recently just as fucked up and full of cars as most American ones. But they did something about it.

Curse of private equity. Asda and Morrisons struggle under weight of private equity ownership. Victims of PE business model: Lower market share, higher prices, staff/wage cuts, higher debt and interest payments, asset-stripping. Govt letting PE devour the NHS, care homes. archive.ph/0KrOB

UK spent more money than most countries on Covid pandemic help; ended with more sickness, mental health problems, life expectancy drop. Looted in frauds, contracts for cronies. Poor, already struggling suffered most. Govts still fuelling inequalities, making the poor vulnerable.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

russia destroys irreplaceable fresco in ongoing destruction of 16th century Crimean #Tatar Khan’s Palace russia has been systematically, perhaps deliberately, destroying a monument which, before russia’s invasion of #Crimea, was on UNESCO’s list of potential World #Heritage sites

Zelensky's take-down of Brian Glenn over the suit question is underrated. "Maybe I'll get one after the war. Better than yours. Maybe cheaper." Low-key told the man he overpaid for a cheap suit. Don't argue with comedians. They'll destroy you.

I am a small account but have to say this. Today Europe has to stand tall against Trump. No more American anything for me. I am now buying European wherever l can. #USboycott

JD Vance is erasing the hundreds of British troops who gave their lives in Iraq + Afghanistan from history. Six of my own regiment, the Royal Military Police, didn’t return home from Iraq. This is a sinister attempt to deny that reality. Vance has demeaned his office.

This is real folks. Better get used to it. Trump is not just neutral about violent tyranny in Europe. He’s actively rooting for Putin. US suspends all military aid to Ukraine, reports say, in wake of Trump-Zelenskyy row www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Ukrainians fight to avoid this fate. It's very simple.👇

Trump has stabbed Europe in the back by siding with Russia, Iran and North Korea. Investors worldwide should be pulling everything out of the USA.

Britain has become a joke country - no enforcement of laws, no punishment of criminals, fly tipping everywhere. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wow, I didn't expect the Republicans to completely fold to Putin quite that fast.

UK energy bills forecast to rise 5% from April. Add to this inflation-busting rises in water, phone, internet and more., people feel helpless. Can't grow economy with depleted household incomes. Must curb profiteering, impose windfall taxes. Ofgem protects companies, not people.

Just finished the Buried Giant, instantly one of my favorites from Ishiguro. Going to follow it up with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

"The role of the ultra-wealthy has morphed from one of shared social responsibility and patronage to the freewheeling celebration of selfish opulence," @brianklaas.bsky.social writes:

UnitedHealth killed this young man. When will they be paraded around as a campaign prop then indicted? It's time we stopped framing these deaths as anything but homicide by greed.

This is perfect explanation

A loyal dog refuses to leave his dead owner after Russian missiles killed him this night in Zaporizhzhia. His wife, daughter, and mother-in-law were rescued from the rubble of their home and are now in the hospital, fighting for their lives.

"The rule of law must now run its full course. Prince Harry & Tom Watson join others in calling for the police and Parliament to investigate not only the unlawful activity now finally admitted, but the perjury and cover ups along the way. Its clear now this has occurred throughout this process"

The UK bond rate is back to where it was at the start of the year, yet the media’s coverage of its rise two weeks ago was absolutely wild. This shows us how Journos are rage-farming for clicks, spinning a non-issue into panic. Just another example of sensationalism over substance. #ukpolitics

This Trump sycophant on BBC News is nauseating. 🤮
