Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.

This is leadership.

It’s also unprecedented.

A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

for progressives out there, then supporting - voting - joining @greenparty.org.uk is the logical choice.

It definately isn't this warped @uklabour.bsky.social govt who try to convince us their Tory/Reform mirroring policies are actually progressive.
Labour are making inequality in the UK even worse.

And rather than reverse - they're now blaming vulnerable people instead.

It's just another version of Reform.

There's some "rubbish" being spoken about Bristol council.

2019-2024: £44bn lost to fraud in UK Govt depts under the Tories - often run by members now in Badenoch's Shadow Cabinet.

Contracts for cronies, PPE procurement, COVID loans & furlough scheme, Eat Out to Help Out, R&D tax credits.

Ministers ignored concerns. Who is called to account?
Kemi Badenoch's top team ran departments that gave £20k a minute to fraudsters
New analysis reveals that since 2019, over £44 billion of taxpayer money was lost to fraud in departments under the Tories - often while they were run by members of Ms Badenoch's Shadow Cabinet

I can’t emphasise this enough:

You need to watch 2073 by Asif Kapadia.

If you want to be a part of the resistance you will need to be sufficiently horrified as well as informed.

It’s in selected cinemas now.
