I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.
Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments
Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished
Surprise surprise - it’s the Daily Mail🤦♀️
Damning verdict on England social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning'.
22 major reviews over 3 decades. Govts do nothing.
No integrated healthcare system. Social care privatised. Corporations profiteering. Public money buys less. Govt handing the NHS to them as well
End privatisation.
Dispatches from Minnesota: I can't even find words for how royally fucked everything coming out of our federal administration is. It feels like they're engaging in war crimes abroad to distract from the war they're waging against their own citizens.
Trump is turning America into a 3rd world country. Our only strength is our voracious spending and military.
But hey, what did you expect? You allowed a seditious convicted felon, failed businessman to be YOUR president!
“What where your thinking”?
Lovely to see them in North Norfolk.
I think that’s a well known process - the extremes of right and left come together. Not a happy thought.
You’ve hit the nail on the head. I really can’t separate a right wing viewpoint and a left wing viewpoint at this time. Virtually the same but just at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
And N Korea is watching closely.
How come the President of the USA has SO MUCH POWER they can send the USA to War without going though Congress?
So much for the checks and balances of a Constitution that is way out of date for the modern World.
This is not a joke or Onion headline.
This is a very not-serious administration mocking diplomacy
“First Lady Melania Trump is set to make history at the United Nations, taking the gavel as the United States assumes the Security Council Presidency

Will this go down well in America?
How greedy can they get?
Weird as hell! Trump is endangering the whole world. Can Europe speak as one voice and sound as if they mean business?
Let me translate this: “A shit ton of your loved ones maybe sacrificed to keep the nation’s attention off the Epstein files. That is a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”
Two things are simultaneously true:
1. The Iranian regime treats its people with extreme brutality and cruelty, and we should honour the citizens seeking to overthrow it.
2. A US attack on Iran would turn a crisis into a catastrophe.
The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
"That's just a distraction!"
Maybe but also he has the attention span of a gnat constantly flitting from one disgusting thing to another so the most likely explanation is usually "he just wants to do this new bad/absurd thing because something he saw on TV distracted *him* from the previous one"
Most Britons can't make political donations/bribes and are made to suffer.
14.2m live in poverty
120,000 a year die in fuel poverty
300,000 a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment.
Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in tax than the richest 20%.
Is democracy possible?
Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes
