Trump says Venezuela’s oil industry is “bust” so large US corporations will go in and return it to profit for the country. Which will only fuel the theory - literally - that the military action is motivated by oil.

Trump says he’s “designating people” to run Venezuela

Says “the people behind me” will be running Venezuela

Ie Rubio, Hegseth and the US military

It could hardly be more imperial…

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.

Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

“We’ll be selling large amounts of oil to other countries” says Trump, implying that the “we” means the USA will be selling Venezuelan oil.

UN’s Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

“I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

⚡️ SHOCKING! Chris Bryant’s huge Brexit admission:

🫨16,000 fewer 🇬🇧 biz exporters after Brexit. Brexit crippled 🇬🇧 biz

That’s why
France/Germany are outperforming 🇬🇧
👉growth is weaker
👉wages are under pressure

Brexit used sovereignty as bait to deliver self-harm which benefits Russian 🇷🇺 aggression.

I’m sure there are many horror stories about sudden spikes in premium rates. This was totally avoidable and exactly why Democrats drew a hard line.

Yes and the overall price is set by the last form of energy to join the grid which is nearly always gas which is one of the most costly.

In case you fancy writing on this I am sure @centralbylines.co.uk would love an article, email Judy on editor@centralbylines.co.uk
Because still a large proportion of our Electricity in still generated by gas which we have to import most of these days.
If we didn't have the electricity generated from our wind/solar farms it's been estimated that our Electricity bills would have been 33% higher in 2024 🤔

This is the BNP 2005 manifesto: it is a much more moderate proposal than that of Chris Philp and Katie Lam for the 2025 Conservatives since BNP accepted that people settled here legally have legal status (which the 2025 Conservatives do not recognise) and so proposes voluntary incentives to leave.

More evidence of Private Equity disaster in US healthcare

Cut wages, staff, investment, care; load with debt; extract profits; deaths, injuries rise.
