BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

UK Govt assault on the poor & disabled in context. In 2024-25, the govt spending £1,276.2bn. Benefit cut will save £1bn a year. Hardly significant. It can have up to £20bn by taxing capital gains and dividends at the same rate as wages, and charging NIC. But won't do it. Political choice.

Trying to open a new campus while cutting jobs. Not a good look. Our members should not lose their livelihoods because of management can't handle the finances. 14 days of strike action started today at @newcastleucu.bsky.social 👇 With hundreds of jobs at risk we must #STOPtheCUTS.

Dictators are carving the globe. Trump is handing 20% or more of Ukraine to Putin. What next? Trump wants Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine minerals. Xi will want Taiwan and more. More countries will acquire nuclear weapons to prevent territorial grabs. Insanity is becoming the norm.

England's water industry owned by companies with over 1,100 criminal convictions since 1989. Examples: United Utilities 205 Thames Water 187 South West Water 174 Anglian Water 128 Yorkshire Water 125 Southern Water 119 People forced to hand more money to criminals? Now they are not even fined.

The water industry shows how the state indulges corporations to the detriment of society

Since 1989, water companies have been the subject of over 1,100 criminal convictions, but governments are content for them to control the industry.

The idea that instead of tackling racism, Labour should seek some imaginary racism sweetspot - the precise amount of racism in public policy that will persuade people to turn away from Reform - is what helped ruin the Tories and will do the same for Labour. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Disastrous decision on Heathrow. They're essentially saying “fly, baby, fly” to the developers who don’t give a fig about the climate emergency. The world is literally on fire and the arsonists are giving speeches.

Poverty is political Despite economic growth since 2010, 5.2m UK children live in poverty. Govts imposed two-child benefit cap. Due to lack of good food, housing, healthcare, UK children upto 7cm shorter than comparable Europeans. Must reset political discourse leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...

World’s biggest bank shuns UK bonds over minimum wage fears. Pathetic. Millionaires at JP Morgan resent that the poor may be able to afford food, housing, education, pension. Can't recall bankers concerned about dangers from their own speculation & profiteering. It is class war. archive.ph/ob5zq
