No, America doesn't deserve this. Too bad Trump's chicken shit VP and cabinet won't invoke the 25th amendment.
This is sickening. Trump is inciting his mob in Michigan to reject El-Sayed from the Capitol. The same way Todd Beamer, the 9/11 hero from Michigan, died stopping Flight 93 from hitting the Capitol. El-Sayed doesn't deserve this. Todd Beamer doesn't deserve this. America doesn't deserve this.

We believe that the public has the right to know the consequences of this policy change. So if NHS England won’t publish the full assessment, we will. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/10...
Never mind "won't protect"!!! Burnham's Government is actively promoting climate disaster.
Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

BBC join attempts to smear Zack Polanski with the same #ItWasAScam antisemitism lies as worked against anti-bigotry campaigner Jeremy Corbyn (ps It's #TaxTheRich policies they really hate!) "Polanski says he will not overturn Green Party's 'Zionism is racism' motion" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The establishment now going after @zackpolanski.bsky.social as they did @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social we must not let these vicious bastards win again.
Embattled Zack Polanski says he will not resign - but accepts it is now down to Green party members to decide his future.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I grew up in a zionist household.. with the idea that that region was a land without a people & a people without a land.. I don't believe that's true, & what we're seeing is an ongoing genocide & the displacement of the Palestinian people."

When Zack was elected leader we knew it was only a matter of time before the establishment came to monster him and the Green party. They have a long history of lying to prevent progressive change and they're only warming up.
If you want a better world we are going to need to be much tougher than I'm seeing from lots of people today. Regardless of what particular motions are passed, they will come for us, and a few negative headlines is just the appetiser. So prepare yourself for the fight. The world is at stake.

I sometimes wonder how much the fact that Health ministers are usually drawn from the demographic that uses the NHS the least (able bodied, white men, young-middle aged) is a factor in it's issues. It probably plays a part in the obsession with apps and convenience over continuity and human contact.

Donation caps are hardly a radical experiment, writes Stephen McNair. Nineteen European countries already use them, with limits ranging from €500 a year in Belgium to €100,000 in Italy. Why should Britain continue allowing unlimited donations?

It reminds me of when I was a kid and our Doncaster neighbourhood had "toxic waste out" posters in so many of our windows because there was no way the rich and powerful were going to dump it in their own backyards - they wanted to dump it on working class communities like ours.
Datacentre are being foisted on people living in low/medium income areas, not in wealthy areas. Resulting in excessive use of water, energy; pollution and environmental damage. Very few long-term jobs are generated. Watch the Minister's reply.
