Debate today with a Labour MP on the economy.
Also with a former advisor to George Osborne.
Very striking how much Labour & the Tories agree on our economic system.
Time for change. Let's make hope normal again. Enjoy! 🙌🏼👇🏼

Fiscal rules aren't economic law—they're a political straitjacket designed by & for the rich. Labour & Tories use them to scare us into accepting poverty & privatisation. We must break these rules to invest in people, not profit. Their consensus is our crisis. #RadicalChange

This isn't satire. No jokes. This is the President of the United States telling Norway that he's going to take Greenland from Denmark because Norway didn't give him a peace prize.

Greenland proves the point: NATO's idea of "security" sacrifices local sovereignty. To expand a US base, the alliance overrides Inughuit hunting rights and sidelines Greenland's government. It doesn't work for the people it supposedly protects.
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

How can ecology be for everyone when green choices are a luxury good? Over a third of the UK can't afford them.
The Greens' answer is to flip the script: tax extreme wealth to fund a public-led transition. The question isn't personal virtue; it's economic justice.

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent.
This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
