The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

Always double-check your ballot!

2 down, 3 to go 🇷🇸 Serbia — Vucic lost 🇧🇷 Brazil — Bolsonaro lost 🇮🇱 Israel — 27 Oct 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 1 Nov 🇺🇸 USA — 3 Nov

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Together with Cameron, Johnson and the rest of the Tories, this man is to blame... #BrexitDisaster

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

This promises to be a really interesting read....and I must do this in my wildlife garden.

Newspapers call the tolerant left "extremist" While right wingers with vile bigoted views are portrayed as sensible & moderate Why? Because the media is owned by tax-avoiding billionaires who want no-one to #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants for poverty and campaign to #TaxTheRich meme via Steve Benson

Liz Truss imagines Britain launching multiple missions to Mars by 2040 if her economic policies had continued. Her new book also envisages repealing the Equality Act, Human Rights Act and Climate Change Act, and abolishing the OBR. Her premiership lasted 49 days.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Compared to Nazi 'Big Lie' Goebbels, far right funder Musk, Farage hero Trump, Reform UK is still learning lie telling skills - but The Reformer can still corrupt, treat with extreme caution or return sans stamp ASAP!

Suella Braverman, a vocal critic of 'something for nothing culture', has been using taxpayer cash to cover her utility bills. Must be nice...

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.
