Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.

Obama is awesome 👇

🔴 REVEALED: Palantir led closed-door review of how MoD buys software The review was presented to defence minister Luke Pollard by Palantir UK boss Louis Mosley in Feb and has mostly been implemented None of this was made public New investigation🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-p...

El-Sayed: Trump's bill gutted health care for millions. President Obama passed the legislation that expanded it Crowd Member: Obama is not in the Epstein files either Crowd: Cheers

When we joked that Trump would consider giving Alaska back to Russia, we didn't think he'd actually do it.

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

We must save our arts. They cannot be allowed to dwindle away or be accessible only to a few.

Elon Musk has dumped almost $450 million into the midterm elections. Tesla paid 0% in federal income tax last year. We should tax the billionaires.

Yeah right… Says man with net favourability rating of minus 45, a shitload of investigations into possible corruption, a team of utter inadequates and with every constituency bar 4 favouring rejoining because we all know how crap Brexit is now. Bore off. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

Being a leftist means taking big shots. And making them.

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Cracked down on bad landlords -Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services This is what leadership looks like.

With big thanks to @doctorofmusic.bsky.social, here's my discussion today with Lord Jackson about North Sea oil and gas. Tape your jaw to your face before watching. Really.

Britain's future relationship with Europe is being debated in Parliament on 12th October. I've just asked my MP to attend. Will you ask yours? www.europeanmovement.co.uk/contact-mp-a...

Streisand Effect. Congrats, Robert Kraft and pro genocide supporters. You've just made Macklemore and his speech mentioning "Free Palestine" into a global issue, galvanizing the majority.

The clock is ticking. We have to act now. Vote Green on October 8th. 💚

Spot on🎯 @pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain: "I'm really ambitious for our country. I think that we should be doing far, far better than we are. "We're punching well below our weight, largely because we chose to leave the world's biggest single market."

£72million can’t fix this. Nothing can fix this. This is Reform. A bunch of raging liabilities who shouldn’t ever be anywhere near public office. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good plan, Australia and Canada. Huge sigh, UK. How long do we wait, how much do we lose, how stupid do we have to be?

What a day! Brilliant again to speak to so many people today. Voting Green in Holborn & St Pancras is a powerful vote for the entire country to keep Labour in check. Join our campaign: linktr.ee/HSP_6thGreenMP

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr... Tice serving up his usual lying bullshit - he's known about the Bill since Feb of this year and specifically about the retroactive element since it was accepted as an amendment by the gov't in July - a full 2 months ago.

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.

To the good people of Halifax & campaigners wanting to save this beautiful place… I’m presently doing my very best (alongside like-minded others) to give you exactly what you want. #SaveSquareChapelArts… FOR THE ARTS!!! 🙏🏻 www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/square-...

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

This handshake says a hell of a lot. Giuliani said Mamdani shouldn’t even be at Ground Zero. Today, Mamdani walked up and shook his hand. That’s leadership. 📌 Mamdani released 170K+ pages exposing what NYC officials knew about the toxic air after 9/11, including during Giuliani’s administration.

"Women are TOO EMOTIONAL to be president!!!!!"

There were many ways in which the US and its allies could have responded to the horror of 9/11. But by building extreme security states, launching pointless forever wars and restricting domestic dissent, successive governments inflicted more harm on their nations than the terrorists could have done.

It's on. I'm running to be the next Green MP for Holborn & St Pancras. donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk

Starting this evening, the next four episodes of #CoronationStreet were directed by yours truly. They were made even more enjoyable than usual for me as I was joined by my old mate Steve Evets playing Doug. No ponies were injured in the making of these episodes. 👀😄

Please RT! 👇 🙏🏻 X

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

He’s running. www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/excl...

Hugely courageous move by @zackpolanski.bsky.social. It's the Burnham honeymoon, so obviously it's a challenge. But an insurgent by-election campaign could expose Labour for changing only its style, not its substance. This is Holborn and St. Pancras' chance to send Labour a message...

Labour stands up for corporations and big money. I'm running to stand up for people and our communities. www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/excl...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
