The older I get, the more certain I am that the real meaning of existence is love for life. That is, love for the natural world, all of humanity, and advancing coexistence based on true justice, rights, and respect. 🌍

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

"Those on top have discovered an even easier formula for building wealth: buy up the basic tenets of our lives, heap them with debt, and push the consequences on to the little people" 🤑It's time to end the private equity scam by bringing Thames Water into public ownership.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

Farage says there was “cheating” in the by-election. That’s a serious offence. Any interviewer should be asking him for his evidence, and asking him to confirm that he’s presenting it to the police or STFU.

Still in but failing to read the room. He sees his job as managing the status quo better than the Tories. So it’s lots of little stuff but nothing radical. Nothing to rock the corporate boat.

UK set to be among the countries worst hit if US President Donald Trump's 15% global tariff goes ahead. Trump engages in illegal practices. His promises/treaties mean nothing. He said 10% after the SCOTUS judgement, then 15%. Next week? Better to join the EU. Our future lies with Europe.

You’ll notice the media is doing their best to ignore the orange felon’s pattern of verbally attacking and berating female reporters because to address it would be to bring up his lifelong pattern of adultery, abuse, rape, incestuous cravings and the Access Hollywood Tape.

Great from @roberthutton.co.uk on the Truss clown-car, as she repeatedly drives it into the wall of shame. This time with her own YouTube show. Most of us would have tired of the indelible humiliation by now. Not Liz. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/408...
Liz Truss is back to tell her story on YouTube - but there's a twist
After her political career ended in humiliation, Truss's new series is about affirmation
5th December 2025 4:50 pm

'Liz Truss is far from the only politician to try a move to TV', writes Rob Hutton (Image: The Liz Truss Show/YouTube)
"They tried to silence her. They failed." The trailer for the newest thriller to hit our screens doesn't disappoint. It's a tagline that conjures images of Sigourney Weaver or Angelina Jolie, locked and loaded and out for justice. So who is 2025's heroine, staring down the camera as she sets out on a quest for revenge? Get ready... for former prime minister Liz Truss. "It's time to fight for the West," Truss, still speaking very much like someone who might be spraying bullets around in the final act, told X (formerly Twitter) as she announced her newest venture, a YouTube show.  
But the whole show promises to rest on Truss's galactic levels of un-self-awareness. "The problem we've got in Britain," she told Solomon, is that "we have a ruling elite who just don't like their own country." There's no better way for a former prime minister to make the point than to slag the rest of us off for the benefit of Americans. 

Truss may need money. Although she can claim back up to £115,000 a year for costs associated with her public duties as a former prime minister, this isn't the same as a salary, and having lost her seat in Parliament, she no longer gets paid as an MP.

But what she needs more is affirmation. We are all the heroes of our own narratives. Truss's political career ended in failure and humiliation at a level unmatched in modern British history. For her to still be the hero, this disaster must have been the work of some pretty special villains.

"I'm going to expose the truth about what happened to me and who was behind it," Truss promised Solomon. The rest of us know what happened, of course, but one woman can never face it. This will be her story.

A whole bunch of Labour MPs are wringing their hands on Twitter about the party's horrific enhanced cruelty regime towards asylum seekers. But that's as far as it goes: meaningless performative outrage. If they cared enough, they'd walk and sit as independents.

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019. It’s not. He wasn’t. And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
