I spent much of this week talking with foreign officials who are in the U.S. for United Nations meetings. I was curious to know how they’re strategizing about the United States in the future. Here’s what I learned... robertreich.substack.com/p/what-to-…

So much of the right these days have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the manufacturing hit from a Brexit he supported www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

I understand that people are buying RNLI Christmas cards in order to add money to all the donations which are flooding in.
Now it appears that some are planning to buy them and send them to Reform's free post address.
Really, if you did that, it would cost them an awful lot of money.
But people want to know if such an address exists.
It does.

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.

By all means change the triple lock on pensions. But only when you’ve dealt with closing all the tax avoidance loopholes that benefit the filthy rich. And only when the corporations are not getting subsidised (banks) or supermarkets are paying proper wages. Thats fair.

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10
Lembit Opik tweet:

Burnham's big migration plan: take 4,000 stranded migrants from Ceuta, bring them to the UK and put them up in luxury hotels. Americans look at Europe in despair. 

Express Headline: Burnham's migrant, Campbell, 1,000 stranded in Ceuta to be brought to UK. The Prime Minister proposes flying thousands of stranded migrants from Spanish enclave to Britain and housing them in London hotels.

Imagine UEFA's statement about FIFA's plans to sell off the World Cup, but replace all the references to FOOTBALL with WATER Can you now see the absurdity of water privatisation? Andy Burnham has called the FIFA president to go. But our water is still in private hands: vist.ly/5d5x8
The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in water, water changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the infrastructure, every decision on sewage dumping and every decision shaping the future of water is no longer driven by what best serves the public, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in water. Britain's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of households, communities and the environment become surordinate to investor returns. Britain cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. The public.'s position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

Trump’s lasting impact has been debasement. He’s debased the office of President, he’s debased America’s reputation, he’s debased democracy, he’s debased diplomacy, he’s debased honesty, truth and decency. He’s debased free speech, justice for the Epstein survivors and he’s debased the future.
