Trump has withdrawn the US from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

US will be the only country outside the UNFCCC treaty. It is the world's second largest carbon emitter.

Is the UK content that the US will operate outside international law?

Watch the Minister's reply.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

Dear Canadians,

Stop buying US made vehicles.

We can cripple their auto industry by simply not buying American-made cars.

Buy the ones made anywhere but the USA.

Our power as consumers is in our money. Don't buy their shit. There are plenty of alternatives out there.

If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.

We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

This is why @lizkendallmp.bsky.social and @houseofcommons.parliament.uk must stop using ‘X’

Its continued support for Musk’s paedophilic content creating platform forces others to stay on X. That feeds cash into Musk’s pocket.

Stop the rot Kendall get the govt off X

There are alternatives.
