1. Perhaps Prevent failed to pick up on the danger signs from Axel Rudakubana partly because, in common with other anti-terrorist and anti-extremist bodies, it was politically captured and deployed against peaceful protesters and peaceful Muslims. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“In truth, none of Trump's promises to the American people can be met in a world failing to deal with climate change.”
A good, if understated, letter in The Times about the barrelling menace of Trump and his ruinous “Drill, baby, drill!” tyranny.

Oh look. Yet another Brexit benefit…
The thrill of being “held over a barrel by Trump” who may let us sell out our farmers and stock our shelves with hormone-pumped 🇺🇸 shite if we ask v nicely.
Because the option of properly fixing what we broke with the EU will piss off the Daily Mail.
Chef’s kiss.

Every news outlet is breathlessly covering 'thousands' of farmers coming to London to protest inheritance tax.
Do you remember when tens of thousands of people marched to Restore Nature Now in June?
Do you remember how little coverage there was?

Vested interests run throughout our politics - as well as us badly needing media reform.
It's extremely difficult to make changes we need until we have a media fairly holding decision makers to account.

We will never see progress in the UK/US until we address the fact that:
1) Billionaires directly control and influence our 'free pess'
2) Billionaires are largely in control of the 'left-wing' parties.
An unaccountable class of billionaires are destroying our political systems.
