Carney is just next level. I reckon Introducing the word ‘hydronyms’ to the American president could be one of the best international put downs of all time

What is so important to the ultra-rich that they must seize and destroy the world's resources, hold down wages and crush organised labour, capture politics to reduce the tax they pay, fund the far right to stifle democracy? Here's an answer. A Hermes Birkin 35 Diamond Bag. On sale for £449,555.68

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

We’ve achieved a lot in London these last ten years. Thank you, London. I couldn’t have done it without you.

The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners. Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night. The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us £4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.

What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Fascinating 1970 film on Islington: Residents speak of poverty, poor housing, racial tensions & fears of immigration, sound familiar? They fought for diversity. Now, Islington rejects anti-immigrant politics but is smeared by the Right. So much to learn from this. youtube.com/watch?v=cYhY...

We need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us.
The Transatlantic alliance is collapsing. This may have been the biggest moment for European security since 1991 if not 1945.
