Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

Why isn't the CEO of Deloitte prosecuted? I did hear that Cyprus were after him. Wherever he claims to reside, they need to act. And they say crime doesn't pay. ๐Ÿคจ

CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to ยฃ7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth ยฃ150,000 for ยฃ1m profit shared. ยฃ899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth ยฃ650m. Friends in high places.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comBe warned: the next deadly pandemic is not inevitable, but all the elements are in place | George MonbiotBird flu is a mass killer, and mink farms are perfect for infection and transmission. They are a grave threat and must be banned, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Wild new story from @natlash.bsky.social Bird flu has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials havenโ€™t acted, instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Nigel Farageโ€™s attack on the RNLI and co is a new low even for this bottom-feeder. He wants to prosecute anyone who saves lives of people that he doesn't like. Desperate Farage diverts attention from investigations by pledging laws that can't work. archive.ph/5UYnG/

Trump hasn't long left. Candidates for his replacement are lining up hoping to be an even worse President than him. GOP may be relying on Musk's IT interventions, to achieve the votes. Fortunately outside new technology will reveal vote tampering and those involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/technol...

The good news for Labour is they've finally found someone who thinks Jackdaw is a good idea. The bad news? It's Donald Trump.

My colleague @sianberry.bsky.social is spot on. I know many Labour MPs know the Home Secretary's plans on indefinite leave to remain are cruel and unfair. Now is the time for decent MPs to stand up.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

bbc.co.ukUK government approves Jackdaw gas field, and says production will start this month - follow liveActivists say approving the gas field will raise carbon emissions - while the developers argue it is important for the UKโ€™s energy security.

Not just that but will they tell porkies about how their anti environmental policy will help the cost of living or bring down energy prices in the UK?

Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social

Will Labour next week in the budget tell us sad stories about "difficult decisions" and how there's "no money left?" Or will this Labour Government challenge the broken economic thinking that has lead us to this place? And tax the assets of multimillionaires & billionaires? ๐Ÿ‘€

Throwing trans people under the bus. Keeping Rachel Reeves fiscal rules. Cuts to benefits for young people. Ditching triple lock to save ยฃ16bn. No wealth tax. No equating Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax rates. And now - Jackdaw gas field approved. --> Burnham = Continuity Blue Labour / Starmer.

First Healey approves expansion of Heathrow which no one wants and now Burnham approves a new gas field in the North Sea in breach of COP agreement to faster phase out fossil fuels. The Greens asked to see the impact assessments. It is believed either IA's have not been done or willfully ignored.

Dave Vetter@davidrvetter.bsky.social

Here we go again: UK Chancellor John Healey says Heathrow expansion will go ahead after "years of delay" - a deceitful framing that implies this project that almost no one wants is somehow inevitable.
