The EU is not a panacea for the problems of this country. It's more like a crowd of drunks holding onto each other just to stay upright. Until we can rid ourselves of the economic system that doesn't value our citizens, we are in a death spiral. But vested interests won't allow that.

The UK government says the country has 1,000 days to prepare for war. That's 1,000 days to invest in diplomacy, conflict prevention, and de-escalation. Why is the government talking about war readiness as though war itself is inevitable? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

“These women have spoken to investigators and, in some cases, testified under oath, yet Trump’s DOJ has shut down investigations, deliberately withheld evidence and, through Todd Blanche, prevented Ghislaine Maxwell from discussing a survivor whose account implicated Trump,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin.

A new 50-page report released by House Judiciary Committee Democrats includes a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation from former Miss Switzerland, against Trump that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.

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.

This is the type of person Andrey X is referring to here.

Atara Serwatien is at a Guardian event for a short documentary, & her Guardian clip is being shared on social media. This is an earlier clip of her, saying the same thing she said yesterday, just forgetting to say that Lebanon, Syria, & Jordan are also forbidden to Palestinians, b/c it's also Israel

Have you heard about Nevada Neymar Pierre, a 3-year-old soccer prodigy, has gone viral following a controversial incident where police were called to his youth soccer match and removed the boy because he was playing too good! He scored 40 goals in 5 games! And these asshole parents called 911. WTF!

'Palestinian commercial vehicles also pass through it from the city to its north and the rest of the governorates, as well as commercial trucks between al-Khalil and the Tarqumiya crossing.'

This whole statement is incredibly damning but gosh this part especially. Very much worth reading.

Households across the UK will soon be able to get interest-free or "low-interest" loans to help pay for solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps and more, the Government has confirmed on Monday 26 October But what “low interest” will mean in practise? www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2026/10...

New homicide statistics for Scotland in 2025-26 show that: Of the 56 victims recorded in 2025-26, 73% (41) were male and 27% (15) were female. 67% (10) of the female victims were killed by a partner or ex-partner. www.gov.scot/publications...

- UK shop price inflation highest since 2024 - Energy bills increased 4% in just October - Water bills increased (average) 5.4% - Rent is over 1/3 of people’s income - Council tax increase (average) 4.9% Yet they think £21 will make a difference

Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

Latest accounts show Tony Blair Institute makes $ millions in losses for 3rd year running -Blair lecturing on "the market" while making losses (possibly cos he gets big $$$ advising autocrats but he likes spending on less profitable UK influence) in current @privateeyenews.bsky.social

'The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission believes that these checkpoints transform Palestinian geographical continuity into a network of controlled routes, practically re-dividing the West Bank into cantons and besieged enclaves that can be connected, separated, or closed at any time.'

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.

« Le but de la manœuvre était d’effrayer les élèves et leurs parents pour stopper au plus vite la fronde ». Un commissaire révèle au Canard Enchainé que le Ministre a ordonné des arrestations massives de lycéens pour les terroriser. Résultat : 6800 interpellations & des adolescents mutilés à jamais

L'Organisation mondiale contre la torture (OMCT) classe la France parmi les pays à « risque considérable ». SEUL pays de l’UE à atteindre ce niveau. Le 7 octobre, l’OMCT a alerté sur les allégations de « recours excessif à la force & d’arrestations massives par la police » lors du mouvement lycéen.

This is indefensible and a violation of of international law. Where is the accountability?

>>Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel.<< This is ironic! 100% hypocritical of George Monbiot who appeased and grovelled to pro-Israel Zionists by attacking Greens for their resolution "Zionism is racism". He believes that Zionists have "legitimate" grounds for displacing Palestinians.

Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age - when the victims are accused of racism to silence the grotesque horrors they face daily.

A government u-turn on indefinite leave to remain would certainly not cost £10 billion - since the proposals would not have saved 90%+ of this figure. However, it is now a headache for the government that the Home Secretary made that claim in March. They should produce the real numbers

And the only media I can see covering it is the National www.thenational.scot/news/2667202...

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine. The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

“Crime is spiralling out of control under Labour” says Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp. It’s a lie. According to the new Crime Survey: -violent crime DOWN -knife crime DOWN -robbery DOWN -overall crime DOWN -shoplifting DOWN Yet Tory/Reform liars say it’s surging…

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

'Teesside town has come out worst in children’s commissioner’s report... “It’s disappointing, it’s just another kicking,” said a youth worker after the town in which they work was labelled as the hardest place in which to be a child in England.' www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Days after AIPAC announced it would stop endorsing candidates and direct contributions, our reporting shows it was already moving its spending out of sight. Its super PAC has sent $13.1M to other groups this cycle, 3x 2024, so the ads never carry AIPAC’s name.

Italy rejected the offer, which also included strengthening intelligence sharing and early-warning systems to deter Russia.

The shift away from the US continues. Ten countries have now signed on for Macron’s Forward Deterrence initiative, including the UK, Germany and Poland, WSJ reports. Under the plan, France would station nuclear-capable fighter jets across Europe as trust in the US erodes.

Politicians should look at the UK economy as a CEO would, says Lloyds Bank CEO From a bank that hasn't investigated HBOS frauds. No thank you. Companies enrich shareholders. Countries have entirely different purpose, governance, accountability. Must not be treated as corporations. archive.ph/lj45s

Omg no, he was so young. Damn. He was such a talented voice actor. It’s on the mind because I literally just watched it yesterday, but he got asked to do the taken monologue as porky pig and its a masterpiece

RIP to this man. This is a really powerful 62 seconds of video.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Bottled water and 4 minute noodles are not going to help us in a nuclear war. We'll all be obliterated a thousand times over. If he's talking about food or energy security, then it's the government that needs to take actions to make the UK less reliant on imports.
