Totally agree @philmoorhouse.bsky.social Europe, including democratic non-EU members, probably needs to get some sort of quasi autonomous Defense Force that doesn't get hamstrung by vetoes from individual members.

More level-headed analysis from @itsalovelylife.bsky.social and why, for the sake of US democracy & all the free democratic world, every US voter should vote blue 💙👍 at the midterms in order to reign in the insane & extreme behaviour of The 'Don' Chump. Unfortunately I'm a Brit so can't vote. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Elon is a criminal 👇

Some really good analysis here of The 'Don' Chump's outright betrayal of Ukraine, and indeed the free democratic world. Forget Canada as the 51st state, looks more like Chump is trying to make the USA the 90th Federal Subject (also known as region) of Russia. Whatever you do Vote Blue From 🇬🇧 to 🇺🇸

Even Russian newspapers are effectively saying that the 'Don' Chump is a traitor to Ukraine. One newspaper reads: "it's as if Trump has sent Zelenskyy a rotten fish in a newspaper" [@2:25] That's Mafia speak for Zelenskyy is a marked man. Russian newspapers know exactly where Chump's loyalties lie.

I agree, but I can't think of a reasonable answer way it's not.

Republicans failed 'us' abysmally too. Where 'us' means all of the world’s genuine democratic Nations. The US, or more precisely it's administration, has turned 'Rogue Nation'.

This article (with AI audio) explains why anyone who has children and whose future they care about, indeed probably anyone below about 40 who can vote, must NOT vote for right wing parties, especially Reform, Restore etc. in UK. @greenlibdems.org.uk @pippaheylings.bsky.social

Private water companies are trying to convince you that taking our water into public ownership is too expensive But we can bring water into public hands for LESS than they will siphon out of our bills over the next 5 years Public ownership now!

DEFRA need to get their head out of the sand and get some backbone.

Funny and disturbing at the same time.

All the investment in our water system comes from one place: customers' bills. The government needs to bring not just water back into public ownership, but every critical asset that this country has under our control, owned by us.

Former reform supporter reveals Lee Anderson to be a chauvinist pig. From this video he obviously has no respect for women.

Another thoughtful & sobering report from Heather Delaney Reese (@itsalovelylife.bsky.social 🤔) about the current dire state of US politics. She also gives warning for non-white U.S citizens to cast their vote ASAP in case they're detained before polling day. @usdemocracy.bsky.social

Just sharing the facts. I'm a Brit, but I want Dumold Chump out of office, or at least out of power, just as much as sane U.S citizens do.

LET THEM GO BUST ! Last year, Thames Water took out a £3bn loan - at 9.75% interest. And now they want another £2.4bn to keep going?! ENOUGH. If water companies can't survive without rip-off loans, they should be declared insolvent and brought into public hands through special administration.

Brushed up on my physics for this live @cleaninguppod.bsky.social recording with Professor Sir Steven Cowley, Director of Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. He reports huge progress on plasma physics, and AI is promising - so why is he worried about fusion's Theranos moment? youtu.be/UV30cDZcSfs?...

The Tories love wrapping themselves in the flag, but there's nothing patriotic about scrapping the Climate Change Act, Natural England and the Environment Agency. After this summer's wildfires, that's reckless. I'll fight it every step of the way.

Ignorance was shown the door!

And wannabe Tsar/Emperor/Dictator I reckon if Dumold Chump could, he'd probably sell the USA to Poo-tin if he could make enough money from it. The USA is already verging on being a second Belarus. The 'Don' Lukashenko? I'd say is possibly apt, as he's probably done more for Poo-tin than Zelenskyy

Looks like The "Don" Chump is trying to line up the mid-term elections as a potential dark sequel, possibly anti-sequel, to 'Independence Day', but this one will be 'Dictatorship Day' if he pulls it off. Chump and his crony administration don't have a Christian bone between them. ACW II looming?

The way to keep the US safe from Iranian nuclear weapons is to let them develop them and drop one on a US City, or two. WTF! Clearly the rantings of a madman. TIDS - Trump IS Deranged Syndrome It sounds like he is looking for an excuse to nuke Iran, possibly as a way to nullify the midterms.

Dark comedy gets even darker and scarier when it is about reality. @jonstewart2028.bsky.social on AI

LBC's Matthew Wright confessed to being 'a bit wobbly' on the case for public ownership of water. So we told him. 1/3 of your water bill is dribbling out to service debts and line shareholder pockets. That's money that could be reinvested in improving the service. Public ownership's a no-brainer.

Another really excellent & interesting, must listen to, podcast from @everythingelectric.bsky.social host @helenczerski.bsky.social in conversation with @mliebreich.bsky.social host of @cleaninguppod.bsky.social (Note. If 58mins bit long, can listen to at higher playback speed ≈46 min @ x1.25)

Helen Wateley, conservative shadow welfare sec suffers from 14 years of amnesia 🤔.

Petition to stop state pension being taxed. Basic full state pen =184.90/wk =£9,615/yr(52wks) Minimum/living wage =£444.85/wk (35hr@£12.71) =£23,132/yr(52wks) Thus, Full Basic State Pen is just 41.6% of the Living Wage, and they say we can't afford the triple lock! Ref. Tax threshold =£12.570/yr

Poo-tin attacks Academy of Science and a hospital in Kyiv, where's the mainstream coverage? 🇺🇦 The BBC seems to have gone a bit quiet on reporting about Ukraine. Sitting on the fence isn't the same as unbiased reporting. One can be biased and still be truthful, which is ultimately what's important.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social Just listened to you on Meidas Touch-YouTube, talking about Mark Carney's leadership & Canada's role in a brave new World. Perhaps it's time for a reset, maybe we need to build a new organisation on the foundations of the UN such as a Union of Democratic Nations, UDN?

Really interesting conversation about the whole energy system, particularly the role of hydrogen, in this episode of @cleaninguppod.bsky.social between @mliebreich.bsky.social and @janrosenow.bsky.social

[@ 8:20] "This billionaire network strategy has been to buy reform UK" Exactly! Anyone thinking Deform would act totally unbiased regarding the interests of these 'geese that lay golden eggs' are living in Cloud Cuckoo Land. The devil[s] looks after his[their] own! @libdems.org.uk

If we (UK) want to "build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community …" (share.google/vsEU09c1aUeY...), then supporting US independent, truthful, media probably helps. @libdems.org.uk @itsalovelylife.bsky.social

This homo sapien example (can't bring myself to say human being, that implies at least some humanity) has to be one of, if not, the most, vile, despotic examples of our species on the planet. At least the Irish public can see this 🇮🇪🍀👍, even if ~35% of US voters can't. @itsalovelylife.bsky.social
