Me too. What also worries me is how many people (and I’m talking about some of our kids here too) have NO idea what fascism is!!

Perhaps we should all be seeing our Labour MPs and voicing our concern - and terror tbh.
(Actually, I think this is a good idea)

Chris Packham, "This country voted in a party with a massive majority and a mandate for change"

"All we see is Labour kowtowing to the far right. This causes me enormous concern"

"I'm frustrated, I'm angry, and I've frightened"

"And I get more scared every single day"

Really good piece from Jane Bradley and co at NYT.

Earlier this summer Democracy for Sale revealed how anti abortionists, including ADF, were pumping money into the U.K.

Free Speech Union still hasn’t responded to our queries. Funny that…

Holding govts to ransom.

Goldman Sachs warns Rachel Reeves against tax rises on banks.

Banks happy to be bailed out, take QE, mis-sell products, not to be prosecuted for frauds, hike charges, pay lousy rates on savings.

Need windfall taxes. Raise top rate of income tax.

Goldman chief delivers warning to Reeves over bank tax hikes

David Solomon urged the chancellor during a private meeting last week not to hit the industry with savage tax rises in her crucial budget statement next month, Sky News learns.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

17 Monate nach den Angriffen auf GRÜNE und SPD im Europawahlkampf gibt es noch keinen Prozess? Ein fatales Signal für unsere Demokratie🚨

Unser Rechtsstaat baut darauf, dass wir Angriffe auf die Demokratie ernst nehmen und politisch motivierte Gewalt schnell & konsequent verfolgen.

Nach brutalem Angriff im Wahlkampf in Dresden: Grüne kritisieren Sachsens Justizministerin

Im Mai 2024 hatten junge Rechtsextremisten den SPD-Politiker Matthias Ecke und einen weiteren Wahlhelfer zusammengeschlagen. Die Verdächtigen stehen bis heute nicht vor Gericht.

Sunak saddled us with 25 year contracts with Freeports that's why Labour says we can't join the single market. And my local MP confirmed it. We have been really stitched up. UK Freeports are incompatible with EU ones because companies pay no tax on customs and excise.

You can bet there’s money to be made by both. Guessing we’ll see a big beautiful Trump hotel and golf course along the coast in the near future. Oooh, maybe a ballroom too

Why are other Arab states backing the deal?

Oh, for sure. This wasn’t a peace deal. I don’t see any Palestinians speaking there.
This was a money deal. Netanyahu probably agreed to stop dropping bombs and get the hostages back, and he lets Trump rebuild Gaza. Trump just made a real estate investment.

What evil agreement did they do indeed & what will be sacrificed for it.

I am glad ONE THING came out of it. The Hostages getting out of the hell they were all in finally. The Hell they were in all for men's egos and hate and that part has not changed sadly.

He’s sitting there lapping up the praise like the smug egotistical shit he is, while at home in the US he is acting like a dictator and eroding citizens rights.

Netanyahu thinks just like Putin, that Palestinian people should not exist, just like Putin thinks Ukrainian people should not exist.

Just curious…where are the Palestinian representatives to this “Big Beautiful Peace Deal”? Don’t winners and losers join in?
I don’t know … I am old enough to remember another world breaking peace plan in the Middle East, they kinda come and go but there is never any lasting peace.

It doesn’t matter
It’s never going to happen.
Netanyahu will never accept a 2-state solution.
Trump got him to agree so he could get the Peace Prize, realizing the key sticking points were way off in the future and he will never have to follow thru: Israel will treat is as it did Oslo.

Absolutely. And Ivanka was there because they are cashing-in.
It’s sickening.
They’re taking advantage of all the victims and I imagine that the Palestinians will get screwed big time. 🤬
