People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which
a. would cause a net *increase* in emissions
b. is unlikely to work
c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects.
Let's hope it has seen sense.

Starmer will be rolling out the red carpet for Trump’s second state visit.

Any trade deal must protect our #NHS, including personal patient data.

With #Trump, the world is realising that no deal is better than a bad deal.

😡Shocking but unsurprising - a new report shows the Water firms use the same tactics as Oil and Tobacco to deny, distract, and deflect the blame for the sewage crisis.

They're misleading you. They're ripping you off. They need to be taken into public ownership.

@jontrickett.bsky.social is absolutely spot on about privatisation🎯

It is time to end the charade of public money funding services that are not accountable to the public.

End outsourcing now.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water.

📑25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership.

#Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a £3 billion bailout.

This means relative poverty is also set to rise.

Absent a plan from government, we can now expect 100,000 more children in poverty by Oct 2029, as well as 300,000 more working age adults.
