PFAS “forever chemicals” have now been found in record levels in whales and dolphins.

Once we create these substances, they stay in our environment indefinitely. We urgently need stronger controls on the chemical industry and a shift to safer alternatives.

⏰ Illegal landfills hide what we produce legally

We have to stop producing toxic stuff. We cannot keep hiding it anymore as we did in the age of change. Now, in the era of consequences - it's overflowing.

🚨This is a scandal! The government lost thousands of public responses to their railway consultation.

That means that if you want to end the private rolling stock ripoff, or cut fares, or end competition law in the railway, your voice was silenced.

So Russia writes the 28 point "peace" plan, Trump issues it to Ukraine without reading it, and then defends envoy without listening to what he has said. About right?

UK govt can save over £20bn a year by ending payment of interest on commercial banks’ central bank reserves.

Subsidy implemented after the 2007-08 crash. Banks are very profitable.

Since 2023, the EU stopped paying interest on central bank reserves.

UK can find better uses of £20bn+.

Labour Govt’s Budget Choices

Tax the rich; end tax abuse; end privatization of essential services; reduce poverty and inequality, and boost investment.

The UK has more than enough money to fund our public services and rebuild our infrastructure. But it's hoarded by a tiny minority.

The 50 richest families now hold more wealth than 50% of the population combined.

A tax on the wealth of the top 1% would raise over £70 billion.

Update: The US National Debt has now surpassed $39 trillion. It was $36 trillion when Trump took office earlier this year. Trump’s tariff manipulation has also nearly wiped out entire industries across the United States, countless now unemployed.
The official statement from the MAGA White House as the US hits a rapidly increasing all-time high $38 trillion national debt, is:

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.”

The US is jumping into a pattern of a $1 trillion debt increase per month, meanwhile the Trump regime has blocked the release of the jobs report, inflation report and GDP report

The Trump network increased their wealth by the billions since he first took office in January 2025.
