US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged President Zelenskyy to focus on concluding the war with Russia. Perhaps the USA may wish to focus on not betraying allies. There is a clue in the name 'Ally'.

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

The Resolution Foundation has cited the economic effects of Brexit as one of the factors which have acted to suppress wage growth

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

This is on Trump's America. He is still witholding patriot missiles that have been paid for.

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Galway Ladies just won the All Ireland Gaelic Football league. To watch it in a Pub in Ballinasloe (County Galway, Ireland) was rather special.

This is very good and to the point: the root cause why the Russian state is a threat to its own people and everyone else is not any one “bad Czar”. The problem is a cancer within the state that became the host. Its most visible metastases have been known by many names: Okhrana, NKVD, KGB…

Been numerous glowing media stories about Simons lately, and he's been a key figure in Burnham's campaign There's talk of Simons becoming chief of staff or head of policy Almost nobody seems to mention his resignation or what he did (we do, obvs) democracyforsale.substack.com/p/wrong-in-n...

Daily Mail posts lies about the Greens that are spread far and wide. I wish half the number of people saw their apologies. Solidarity with Kamel.

✂ With apologies to my hospitality friends, but I first said a 10% VAT cut was a dumb idea 2 years ago (see link), because it's: 1. Expensive (£bns) 2. Inequitable (rewards big business, doesn't help small ones) 3. Bad for consumers (prices don't fall) Glad @danneidle.bsky.social also agrees!

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

My annual reminder that Democracy is not a free add on and that we need to fight for it. The D-Day stone at former RAF Harwell, Oxfordshire where on the 5th of June 1944 pathfinder paratroops left to lead the way and the next day glider Bourne troops journeyed to France to liberate it from Fascists.

Just 42 days until summer recess. Keir Starmer promised to meet these families in October & again in December. His office still hasn't bothered to arrange it. Time is not on their side. Thirty have died since Christmas. THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT OUR VETERANS PRIME MINISTER youtu.be/u6YXI4sNtqM?...

Its a shocking indictment of UK media that people don’t understand what Farage’s policies will inflict on the country - if they did support would quickly melt away youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

Nothing more obviously illustrates the politicisation of the Supreme Corrupt than their resorting to dishonest spin to make their removal of people’s civil rights sound like a good thing

Sometimes I try to describe for people outside the US what the American information environment has become — a soup of conspiracies and self-reinforcing silos of bias & separation in which finding any actual information is nearly impossible. This is a good window www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/s...

Had to share - MSM seems to be ignoring it.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

Apologies for what may be an LLM header image, but this is a good summary of some of the issues with the EHRC Guidance (thanks @rozkaveney.bsky.social) However, I suspect that it assumes rather too much good faith on behalf of the government… drmikehill.substack.com/p/is-the-uk-...

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UNIVERSAL - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to

Are you a fan yet? Chaz Brenchley's Crater School books are a perfect recreation of the classic girls' boarding school tales such as the Chalet School series. There's just one twist: the school is on Mars! The first book in the series is Three Twins at the Crater School. wizardstowerpress.co...

Here is a 1st! I had a job interview on Teams. It flew! Rapport was built quickly, answers to questions chimed with the interviewers.The interview overran by 30 minutes & we parted as friends. 5 minutes later the automated rejection email landed in my inbox! Time to retire & be a pseudo academic…
