A couple of weeks ago, US federal agents were shooting US citizens in the face. But Iran... Today, yesterday, the day before, and every day for the previous several years, and before that for decades, Israel was killing every Palestinian they could find. But Iran...

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Mandelson stayed in the house of a convicted sex criminal. The Prime Minister knew that. He chose to appoint him as US ambassador anyway. That's all you really need to know about PMQs today www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

What we learned from PMQs: Keir Starmer knew all about Peter Mandelson
The ongoing relationship between the disgraced US ambassador and convicted sex criminal Jeffre Epstein was no secret

Classic. Looks like Brexit may be about to take another giant bite of the UK economy because we're out of the EU club at the exact moment the EU's becoming more protectionist as a defence against Trump and China. What's Starmer doing? Dithering and begging. Just rejoin! nitter.net/alexwickham/...
Bloomberg report by Alex Wickham:

The UK has become seriously concerned that more protectionist policies pursued by the EU could exclude British companies from its supply chains in key sectors, derailing a reset in post-Brexit relations and costing firms billions of pounds.

Keir Starmer’s government is lobbying the EU against restricting market access for British businesses under the bloc’s “Made in Europe” initiative, sources tell Bloomberg.

The man behind donations of £200,000 to Reform is a church warden from Potters Bar, who just happens to work for a billionaire from Kazakhstan. But it's definitely not money laundering or interference in UK politics by a foreign national.

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite. But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite. Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.
