One of the ironies is that the charitable sector and politicians never come out and say things just like this. When we developed "People Move" @satbirsingh.bsky.social @chaipatel.net @zoejardiniere.bsky.social the tagline somewhere behind the sentiment was "and what?".

extremely important to remember that you DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE WITHOUT A LAWYER
Just once I'd like to see a quote from the police which says "Oh, well, we've made tits of ourselves here then, haven't we? Bloooody hell"

It's glaringly obvious that Trump's plan cannot and will not work. Chaos cannot deliver what he is demanding. The follow on question is, will the world mitigate the risk? Our well-being depends on that. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...
Will Trump’s plans work?
There appears to be an emerging consensus amongst some on the left, at least, as to what Trump is trying to achieve with his tariff wars.

It is such a shame most media companies will not report the truth.
They know the truth, they see the truth but they don't report the truth to the masses around the World.
Small independents are the best source of truth to power.
@bylinesnetwork.co.uk is a good source imo.

In just 6 weeks.. humanitarian actors demonstrated that when they're finally given an enabling environment, they can.. deliver. And Israel proved that enabling the delivery of aid was only a matter of will, a reality it has now underscored by choosing to use humanitarian aid as a negotiation tactic.
