A bonkers, historically accurate sentence: the Trump regime conspired with the Maduro regime to overthrow the Maduro regime and replace it with the Maduro regime instead of the democratically elected Venezuelan government that won the 2024 presidential election there by 34 points

Wow... Back up with the good ideas there Ed.
I have a revolutionary idea:
Work out how many doctors and nurses we need to look after everyone properly.
Train that many.
Pay them well.
Let them get on with their jobs.

What Chris says.
The UK is supposed to be a democracy but the reality is that the right wing racist minority have been effectively handed a veto by the Labour Party on our countries future relations with the EU.
Nearly six in 10 (58%) people who would vote in a second referendum said they would cast their ballot to return to the EU.

The world capitulates.
150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax.
They make profit we fund the cost.
The race to the bottom will accelerate.

I would like to unsubscribe from this timeline please. I was hoping growing up, that I would get the Star Trek version of life, but I apparently got the timing wrong. I got the “world has to fall apart before we get it together” part of the journey. Computer, End Simulation! 😮💨

Abso-fucking-lutly spot on!
The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

More worrying moves from a weak govt.
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

I'm not SNP, I'm Scottish Greens, however this point stands! He doesn't give a shit about Scotland and, I would argue actually doesn't particularly like us up here as we, well, don't really like his brand of bullshit and grift.
Just in case you're one of these very silly Scots.
Nigel Farage is an English Nationalist
He can't stand Scotland.
Are you really wanting someone in charge of the UK, who can't stand your Country?

We need to start thinking about what's coming and where we both want and need to be as a people, and yes, it's in a stronger European community.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

Uber rewrites contracts with drivers to avoid paying UK’s new ‘taxi tax’.
Portrays itself as an agent instead of a supplier to dodge VAT.
Big business always willing to circumvent tax laws to boost profits, makes laws longer and complex.

Let’s just make the next 3 years much easier to take & accept right now that under Trump the US is unfortunately not an ally
Double down on closer links to EU, Canada , Australia , Japan & Korea & most of all Ukraine.

I'm seeing way more fight back from inside America at the moment than from here. Admittedly we are now just yelping like a little corgie at the fat orange pricks ankles, when we should be elsewhere... 🤔😕😔
Much more honesty about what just happened from inside the U.S. than from outside. The world is full of dishonesty and cowardice.

The state pension is so shit now that it only takes one accident, one fuck up, one boiler brake down and people are in serious trouble.
We are the 6th richest country in the world, we built the NHS and yet we can't make our society that bit better to allow dignity in life, really?
