What is all about? For what and why do the rich need to do something like this?
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat is so important to the ultra-rich that they must seize and destroy the world's resources, hold down wages and crush organised labour, capture politics to reduce the tax they pay, fund the far right to stifle democracy? Here's an answer. A Hermes Birkin 35 Diamond Bag. On sale for £449,555.68
Today I turn 66, and I have been working for 50 years. As I look back, I see an unplanned pathway of people, places, job titles and outcomes. I see the early rooms of possibility: factories, studios, music venues and classrooms, places where work, ideas and a creative life began to take shape.
And western governments who were and still are part of the problem, simply sit by and let this monster, his colleagues and the supporters of this genocide carry on.

@andyburnham.bsky.social Prime Minster - I beg you, you need to act NOW! The abhorrent words from the Israeli regime about Gaza and now Lebanon has to spark a response. Your silence is highlighting complicity. @zackpolanski.bsky.social
And still the Israeli government and its supporters are not reprimanded for their genocidal actions.

"Bombed" is too kind. Just the same old ugly insults & self-pitying drivel he's been spewing forever. "Fat Pig Chris Christie/Watermelon Head Pencil Neck Shifty Schiff/Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren" etc. from a deranged sociopath who can't understand humor. 🤢 #Pathetic shorturl.at/eEX8A

President Donald Trump bombed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Friday night. He knew he was bombing, too, and he even tried to meta-joke his way out of it.

Today I cheer for Spain. A country that is undaunted and courageous. Who stands up to genocide while so many others close their eyes. 🇪🇸Espana a por la victoria!🇪🇸
This would be a deeply irresponsible and destructive act at any time. To do it whilst we're having a third heatwave of the year and thousands of people have just died from extreme temperatures - makes it also politically incoherent. We urgently need to replace Labour.

Spain responded harshly to Israel's statements: "We are not defaming you, Israel, we are describing you: You are a genocidal and criminal regime." "You will all be held accountable before the International Criminal Court." 👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏🇪🇸👏
It’s preposterous that so many newspapers know what Burnham’s policies will be before he’s announced them. Government leaks anyone?
A failed start to his policy campaign if this is true. I guess we will find out from the horses mouth on Monday. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social said, join.greenparty.org.uk
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · last mo.If you're worried about our future - Andy Burnham is very clearly signalling nothing will change. But we can still turn this around with the Green Party getting even bigger. No new oil & gas so we can all have a liveable future. We need your help. Join.greenparty.org.uk
@labourpartyuk.bsky.social must have my contact details as I was once a member but when trying to email a response, “email address cannot respond”. I asked for policy details on Israel, Arms, Wealth Tax, Humanitarian Support, US Reliance, North Sea Licenses, NHS, Housing, Fossil Fuels & Education.
Personally I think the guy who was convicted on 34 counts of fraud, and was charged with obstructing justice and making false statements, is not a trustworthy source on election fraud
