We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thrive…
But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldn’t own, called it scarcity
…and sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

We need facts as never before.
3 years after Putin invaded Ukraine, I spent 24 hours with combat medics on the Ukrainian frontline.
Their courage, compassion, dedication & skill are astounding.

‘We have a rule when we hear the sirens: if you’ve started operating, you don’t stop’: 24 hours with doctors on the Ukrainian frontline
Like the soldiers they battle to save, combat medics in Ukraine are under constant attack. Three years after the invasion, one NHS doctor bears witness

Rishi Sunak who was also Chancellor literally made his fortune in the financial crash at everyone's expense 🤷♂️
Inflating small indiscretions beyond all measure of proportion, that's toxic
Is this really the type of society we want to live in?

A fascinating piece by @BBCCountryfile, really bringing home the absurdity of post-Brexit red tape.
The truth is that Brexit bureaucracy is suffocating the aspirations of our entrepreneurs; from our SMEs to our farmers.

This is the HQ of Avis Capital. It claims to be one of the largest companies in the UK, with £58bn in assets and 31% returns promised to investors.
Except it's all a lie.
Here's how regulatory failures are letting international fraudsters create massive fake UK companies.

Looking forward to the right-wing media spending the next 24 hours explaining how an obvious Nazi salute really wasn't a Nazi salute, you stupid libs.

- Promoted top Republican Joel Kaplan to be face of Meta
- Hired Dana White to board
- Killed 3rd party fact-checking
- Loosened hate speech policies
- Killed DEI initiatives
- Said on Joe Rogan that corporations are “culturally neutered” & need more “masculine energy”
