Time to stop giving him the airtime. Shutting these feckers off from the airwaves would do wonders for the UK.

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

"Fifteen cops to arrest one girl." An 18yo woman was arrested for wearing a singlet with a banned phrase. Another man was arrested for speaking the phrase outside Queensland parliament. Premier David Crisafulli's criminalisation of speech will now be tested in court. #qldpol

This is why we need to vote @greenparty.org.uk
Too many politicians are willing to push people into poverty in order to satisfy the richest in our society.
Nothing will change voting for any party other than the Greens, who actually care about peole and have a plan to reduce poverty.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says β€œthey’re having problems with their economy again.”

Main UK media is beholden or indirectly owned by US. Used to run a small local paper which was bought by another media company… when I looked deeper the new owner was eventually owned by a US company.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian β€˜adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.

US soldiers loading bombs onto their aircraft at bases in England.

The UK is at war with Iran helping commit more War Crimes.

We need a Government like Spain that is strong enough to say no to Donald Trump.

Yes, if all files were released Trump would have to resign as president & face court… the world would then be a safer place

At night, Havana resembles a ghost town. Buses only run sporadically. Students do not get to school, workers do not get to their factories. Without electricity, industry cannot produce, agriculture cannot irrigate its fields, trade cannot comply with the cold chains. A vicious circle. 4/4

How Trump wants to bring Cuba to its knees

At night, Havana resembles a ghost town, the bodegas are empty, the gas stations are closed. The US oil blockade is driving Cuba into the worst crisis since the end of the Soviet Union. The UN warns of a humanitarian catastrophe.

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

The Middle East
has become the deadliest
place in the world:

⁃ to be a medical worker
to be a humanitarian
to be a UN team member
- to be a journalist

And one of the deadliest
to be a civilian.

Vance Puts MAGA Ideology Above All Else For the vice president, even white nationalists who target his Indian American wife don't merit disavowal

Vance's wife is the daughter of immigrants. They have mixed-race children and a mixed-religion family. He spends every single day agitating for a society that treats people like them as undesirable foreigners who should be deported.
