I woke up, but I can’t stop thinking. Some regions of Ukraine have already been without electricity for 8–12 hours. And it’s still +23°C outside. What will happen when winter comes? When temperatures drop below zero? I’m afraid this could be our hardest winter In all these years of war.

She’s walking proof you should never allow yourself to be held back merely by not knowing anything at all about anything.

Things I’ve learned during all sleepless nights of the full-scale invasion: ◾️How to count explosions instead of sheep ◾️That my cat is braver than me ◾️That tired tears burn the most 🇺🇦 That I still love Ukraine with every breath #ukraine #war #ukrainians #cats #ukrainiangirl

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "How long do you think its going to take for people to forget you ran the country for 14 years?" Helen Whateley, "Kemi has published an essay called The Right Way, really thinking about what's gone wrong with the country" 14 years of Tory austerity 🤷‍♀️

Sharon Graham on Newsnight criticises Andy Burnham for going after pensioners instead of putting in place a wealth tax on the rich My view: Sharon Graham asks a valid question. Why is a Labour government going after pensioners instead of a wealth tax on the vast fortunes of those with £10m+?

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Morning, friends🫂🫂 Even though I wasn’t in constant danger tonight, it was still hard. Every time I tried to sleep, I heard explosions that didn’t exist. I kept thinking about ballistics and checking the news. And unfortunately, they really hit my poor Kyiv again💔

"And so son that's how the 47th president of the United States died, starving to death whilst standing at a podium at the UN in New York waiting for someone, anyone, to applaud his reprehensible speech."

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

William Hague, a man who otherwise I probably have no views in common with - today called for a total ban on political donations. We have that in common - our arguments for this are in this report, for the cost of a packet of crisps we can clean up politics properly and forever.

Nigel Farage is a political conman. He claims to represent the man in the street - but he's the champion of the filthy rich. New column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was once extremely depressed for 10 years and didn't think I'd live too long. I made it through with the help of my cat. She's gone now, but I never forget her. Today I give to cats shelters in different parts of the US. They save us.

80% of Reform’s funding comes from two crypto billionaires. Reform has received £123.6m since 2019. £61m from Christopher Harborne living in Thailand, mentioned several times in Panama Papers. £44m from Ben Delo, recent returnee from Hong Kong, criminal conviction in the US.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

WOW. Massive thank you to the hundreds of people who volunteered in Holborn & St Pancras. And a huge thank you to @owenjones.bsky.social for joining us! Just getting started. See you tomorrow (Sunday) in Tavistock Square! actionnetwork.org/events/1309-...

It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.

I feel this one. I hate what our government is doing to its citizens. I'd say that we deserve better, but do we?🤔

He puts other politicians to shame!

I don’t trust her at all, but I do enjoy her going after Trump.

Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

Mariana Mazzucato says Farage and Boris Johnson repeatedly misled voters and still haven’t been held accountable. Her Channel 4 interview has gone viral after she called Brexit one of Britain’s biggest economic mistakes.
