I'm glad we went through all that pain from austerity and cost-cutting for fucking nothing. Just like every other time it's been tried by every other government. At some point we're going to need a government that is going to invest in the people that live here.

NEW: Scottish Labour have spoken up about the memo showing the UK Government want to overrule devolution regardless of what the devolved governments think
Instead of speaking up for Scotland, the party has defended the memo - choosing to attack the SNP

A Israeli brigade commander told Palestinians in the Jordan valley that the IDF plans to remove all Palestinians currently living in "Area C" - that's 60% of the West Bank - within a year.
IDF spokesperson was asked for comment and did not deny this.

Health experts have published a paper disproving the claim that ADHD is overdiagnosed β a big fuck you to Labour for pedalling this lie.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Itβs frustrating seeing this barbarism knowing what we could be.
All these scientific and technological breakthroughs that could elevate humanity, and weβre busy murdering each other.
The world's progress is being held hostage by the giant fragile egos of small depraved men.
Sure would be nice to have some ELECTRIFIED RAIL to transport good around the country with, powered by our 95%+ renewable power grid.
Try drafting Gen Zβ¦. go onβ¦ They will burn the country down before being shipped off to warβ¦. #nzpol
Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.
Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.
The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.
The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.
Looks amazing!

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS
Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.
THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.
Omg, this is my cup of teaβ¦.
So after the bombing of desalination installations, they canβt even collect rainwaterβ¦.
Socialism builds stuff. Capitalism makes money from the things Socialism built. Once you see that you know it's Socialism you need.
They tested it in Gaza, where they donβt worry about morality.
Aotearoa needs to get sure-footed with our positions on so many momentous things at the moment but we have no leadershipβ¦.

I would just like to remind everyone that the slimy Atlas operative cancelled the network of community organisation supply good lunch (apparently βwokeβ to have nice food for kids) in favour of a global corporate to serve up disgusting and occasionally dangerous slop to our tamariki.

And many of those same families and networks were also profiting off Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.
Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the fastest will suffer the least from oil price spikes caused by the US/Israel attack on Iran.
NZ is not one of those, thanks to Luxonβs poor leadership.
Iβm so glad as a nation we decided to massively invest in renewables - oh wait π€π₯΄π€¦ββοΈ
