Wanting a cleaner, greener less divisive world.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social A friend of mine is selling his home in the Hamptons (USA) for $2.5m. His taxes on that property in ‘I’m leaving the high tax UK and moving to low tax America’ is (drum role) - $12,418.00 per year!

Completely agree. At best he's a liar, at worst he's a traitor and Russian asset.
I implore someone, anyone, in the media…
Do your job
And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly:
…what were the motivations behind this?

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…
And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say
…funny that.

So all that happens from new #Nvidia financial reports are that the ‘bubble’, when it blows, will be even bigger than we thought. The fallout, across world markets, will be bigger than we thought.
The Recession/Depression will be bigger and worse than we thought.
It will be cataclysmic.

On Trump’s interview with GB News, where he confirmed he still intends to sue the BBC and will be speaking to the PM shortly, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey:
“This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain, for every TV licence fee payer... & for a free press that can hold the powerful to account."

ICE agents will be spending years in jail for these atrocities. Claiming 'You were only following orders' is no legal defence. It never worked at Nuremberg, it won't work now. America, what have you become, a Nazi Third World?

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

New drilling for oil in the North Sea is currently unrealistic. Oil is currently selling for circa $65 per barrel. Oil from the North Sea will COST $150 per barrel. Who will buy it when there are a lot cheaper places to get it out of the ground.
