More xenophobic nonsense from the increasingly shoddy Robbie Gibb-influenced BBC. If people had breached the fence at La Linea would they have chosen the words "Migrants Reach Gibraltar from Spain"? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not sure who did this but they should be arrested immediately.
Indeed. In fact the right wing media will be able to take credit for a sizeable proportion of how we as a society failed at the most critical times ...
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing. Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same time period, Biden had created 625,000.

“It’s a tragic tale- a once-confident nation making such a fearful, self-harming decision. Our economy…politics… daily lives in 2026 – all of it bears the imprint of that calamitous error” Brexit 10yrs on. Nothing to celebrate. Except the likelihood we’ll rejoin. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Starmer is naïve, poorly advised and uninspiring as a leader. But he is not the Labour Government. It (thousands of civil servants led by dozens of elected MP's) has been getting on with the business of running the country whilst the PM's X factor-style media trial plays out. And to good effect.
Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.
While regular Americans struggle with the price of gas, groceries, car payments, utilities, and mortgages, Cracky the Clown is posting gold statues of himself. Calling him out of touch is the understatement of the decade.

Trump just confused Greenland with Iceland and blamed Iceland for the U.S. stock market dip. This isn’t a policy mistake—it’s cognitive collapse on display. The 25th Amendment exists for moments like this.
Possibly the most intelligent and lucid national leader around right now - the polar opposite of Trump. Two excellent lines here : 1 . ..if you're not at the table, you're on the menu" and 2. .." This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty whilst accepting subordination..."

Am I the only one who's beginning to suspect that the never -ending 'Threat/Remove Threat of Tariffs' cycle that the Trump Cult call foreign policy, is nothing more than insider dealing for the benefit of friends , family and benefactors? Threaten tariffs, crash market, buy, withdraw threat, sell.
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 7mo agoTrump says he will '100%' follow through on threat to impose tariffs over Greenland demand, military options open. Snubs Starmer's appeasement. The man-child says Norway denied him Nobel Peace Prize even though it had no say. Turns against NATO allies, US is divided. There will be a bitter legacy
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew that a better world was possible if we came together, standing for equality and against injustice. Today and every day, we honor Dr. King's legacy as we move toward a more inclusive and just future for all, together.
Major steps forward are always called disruptive or untimely. Progress that serves the public disrupts systems built on silence. Today - and every day - we’re fighting the good fight on behalf of the people: evidence over power, justice over silence. #MLK #standupforscience
The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.
