Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide.

That is what our government is enabling β€” and it should be eternally ashamed.

End all arms sales to Israel now.

Op-ed: Commission’s omnibus is a capitulation to corporate profits The European Commission's 'simplification' legislation fails to address the realities of socioeconomic inequality and record profiteering.

Today MEPs will debate the omnibus proposals. Last week, we made our views clear to the EP Magazine.

Dismantling a predictable business framework will ... only serve to punish those that have already invested in worker- and climate-friendly measures πŸ‘‡

With the narratives being pushed by the Berlaymont over the last 12 months, the misinterpretation of data to deliver the wishes of big businesses should come as a surprise to no one.

Protecting corporate profiteering at our expense seems to be the new philosophy

How the EU distorts data to justify green deregulation The EU’s telephone game distorts studies to fit a narrativeβ€”turning green reporting into a competitiveness threat, despite little evidence that deregulation would boost competitiveness.

Deregulation 🚫 Competitiveness

πŸ“’β€œWhat is actually harming their competitiveness is their massive payouts to shareholders.”

An excellent piece from @westervangaal.bsky.social in @euobserver.com on the Commission's ridiculous omnibus proposals

β€œWill pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Left MEPs joined the appeal of NGOs calling on the EU to protect the Palestinian people and to break the wall of silence!

No more hypocrisy. No more impunity.

The EU must end it’s complicity.
