Higher taxes are actually lower taxes you see.

AI chatbots helped ‘teens’ plan shootings, bombings, and political violence, study shows Only Claude reliably shut down would-be attackers.

A study used ‘simulated’ subjects to test 10 major chatbots. Only one — Claude — reliably shut down violent plans.

Amazon might not just be dominating our lives - it could threaten democracy Jeff Bezos now seems no better than a rapacious oligarch

Amazon's dominance isn't just about markets - it's a threat to democracy.

Good piece by @iburrell.bsky.social inews.co.uk/opinion/amaz...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

The Tony Blair Foundation, main funder billionaire Larry Ellison.(400m dollars). Ellison's company Oracle is an integral part of the Israeli military. One of Trump's closest allies and close friend of Benjamin Netanyahu.... Lets keep Blair away from Scotland's NHS. 🔽

Two firefighters resting, sitting on the plinth of the "Citizen Firefighter" statue.

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.

The mask slips ...🔻

All else aside, the existing Israeli government is behaving in the manner of a rogue state. Its attacks on Iran were unprovoked and have cause unprecedented upheaval and hurt us and our allies across the region, it's invasion of Beirut is comparable to Russia in Ukraine, it is indefensible.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…

Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS

And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!

"Human Rights Watch says Israel is using white phosphorus in Lebanon"

Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others.

Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

We remember Iraq.

We remember the lies, the manufactured consent and the deaths and destruction that followed.

That’s why it’s disgraceful to see Tony Blair banging the war drums for another illegal war, when he should be locked up in The Hague for the last one.

The UK government should ban foreign donations to political parties. Stop Farage's gravy train! 🔻

The Economic Magic of Equal Opportunities for Women

Indermit Gill & Tea Trumbic show that vigorously pursuing gender equity laws boosts developing countries’ economic growth and employment.

This is what ecocide looks like.

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target Did the US military use Anthropic's Claude to select targets in its weekend operations in Iran, with devastating results?

The world needs answers.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

American B-1 bombers are landing on British soil before flying off to bomb Iran, yet Keir Starmer gaslights the nation by claiming the UK isn’t at war.

These aircraft are dropping 2,000lb bombs on schools, hospitals and homes in Iran, where the death toll has already surpassed 1,300.

Disgusting.....

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."
Here's a Miami Herald gift link.

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

The US military was likely responsible for the strike on an elementary school in southern Iran that killed scores of children, the deadliest incident of civilian casualties in the US and Israel’s almost week-long war with Iran, according to CNN and expert analysis of evidence. https://cnn.it/4rjSsbc

Honestly, we know the most odious member of the US administration but is Hegseth number two with all that macho celebration of killing people?

Reflecting the mood...

Iran Crisis: They Wanted Sovereignty. Just Not Like This If anyone has ruined the special relationship, it's not Starmer- it's Trump

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

Latest substack from me.

Labour, with its huge majority, could stop this corrosive corruption of our UK democracy. 🔻
