Donald Trump is not just a sore loser, he is one of the greatest threats to peace and justice today. Congratulations to Navi Pillay, former UN Human Rights Chief & ICJ Judge, on winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterday

Trump just had a massive meltdown over losing the Nobel Peace Prize to South African anti-apartheid jurist Navi Pillay. Trump attacked Pillay, admitted he knows nothing about her, claimed he deserves EIGHT Nobel Peace Prizes, took credit for preventing wars around the world,… 1/

It’s just been confirmed: Donald Trump is coming to Manchester next year. Andy Burnham says he will be “really pleased” to welcome Trump to the city. We have a different message: Trump is NOT welcome in Manchester. Save the date. See you there.

📻 this morning we said Burnham must: 🛢️ not give in to Trump's climate vandalism, & reject more oil/gas drilling 💰 reject tax breaks for big tech giants 💣 end the UK's complicity in the illegal war on Iran. They’ve just met and it’s not any clearer if he will. @jakeatkinson.bsky.social

“Burnham might believe this decision will get Reform UK & the Conservatives off his back. Of course it won’t. He might imagine it will appease Donald Trump, but you can’t appease Trump. Whatever you give him, he will always want more.” @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

New Prime Minister, same old Trump. @andyburnham.bsky.social faces 3 upcoming tests in his approach to Trump:

The UK must not cave to Trump’s pressure. Our ‘big tech tax’ raises billions for the British public, it shouldn’t be scrapped so Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg can hoard even more extreme wealth.

Tax Justice UK@taxjusticeuk.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Billion‑dollar US tech giants don’t need more tax breaks. The DST is one of the few taxes they can’t dodge— and it should stay put until we have something stronger.

Disagreeing with Trump in public is a step forward. But refusing to do what he tells you to, whether in public or in private, is much more important.

During the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, US President Donald Trump joked about running for a fourth term, despite the Constitution barring it. The event, which celebrates press freedom and honours journalism, came three months after the first was cancelled by a shooting.

Burnham should cut off the US's use of bases, like Spain already has, to help end Trump's continuing attacks on Iran. There is nothing "defensive" about Trump's war.

Your money or your life? Trump & Big Pharma’s demands have been met by Starmer - and new research in the BMJ shows the cost. Campaigners are now taking the Government to court to stop the disastrous US-UK medicines deal before it costs our #NHS £45bn and over 200,000 lives.

The Trump administration should not attempt to interfere in picking the British chancellor.
