The Iran war is making everything more expensive for us, but some companies are cashing in. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now demanding they are taxed more on their record profits to help us all with the cost of living. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

Apparently Donald Trump just asked Infantino to punish the Spanish players for hurling insults at him but calmed down when it was explained to him "They're actually shouting "raPIDO", it's Spanish for "quick" Donald". 😊 #WORLDCUPFINAL #SPAARG

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran. So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.

Call me stupid, but surely the extra profits from selling US oil at inflated prices will go to the privately owned oil companies and their shareholders. Not into US government coffers, save for a small fraction by way of extra taxes collected.

URGENT: Sign the petition to end plastic pollution

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️ The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity. We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

The Australian police punched and pepper sprayed protesters in Sydney who were demonstrating against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit on February 9. The police’s use of force to prevent protests is a further erosion of basic rights in Australia. Learn more: https://bit.ly/45Zn0ah

DHS initially claimed the shooting of Marimar Martinez was justified because agents “were ambushed by domestic terrorists that rammed federal agents with their vehicles.” Footage reveals that agent Charles Exum slammed his SUV into hers and shot Martinez seconds after leaving his vehicle.

Despite the accelerating threat of climate change, Trump and his administration are continuing to unravel progress.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Trump’s territorial ambition: new imperialism or a case of the emperor’s new clothes?

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The government has urged the regulator Ofcom to use all its powers – up to and including an effective ban – against X over concerns about unlawful AI images created on the site www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump's attack on Venezuela, like Putin's attack on Ukraine, both tear international law to shreds. It returns us to an era where states use miltary force to gain resources or territory irrespective of the deaths and destruction they create.

Looks like this is topical again! My piece on why the single market and customs union matter so much: labourlist.org/2025/07/uk-r...

I am about to go on LBC radio to discuss the need for Labour’s re-set with the EU to go much further and faster…

‘The only idea around’: will Labour return to a customs union with the EU? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the UK taxpayer £10.9bn. VIP lanes and crony contracts. Lack of anti-fraud controls in Covid scheme. Money handed out for non-existent employees Newly formed companies got public money No competitive tenders Poor checks on quality. How much would be recovered?

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

This cheeky dark-eyed junco posed for the perfect portrait. After this photo, a dog rescued him from a cat and I rescued him from the dog and he survived with missing feathers. I made my friend remove his poorly located bird feeder. #BirdOfTheDay #CloseUp #EastCoastKin #birds

@ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social winning is proof that the old guards are falling.‼️This is the beginning of a new chapter for this country‼️

A delusional Trump lies blatantly in his Fox News interview, claiming if he didn't impose tariffs on everyone "the entire world would be in a depression." Americans are reeling from the high prices caused by his tariffs.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

Old Mike Johnson called protesters yesterday Communist. You'd think he'd know, It puts the government in control under an authoritarian model. Which is what Trump wants. The state nationalizes businesses and industries, controlling all aspects of the economy through a centralized bureaucracy

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Oops! I hope no-one else “accidentally” reposts this.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.
