In the sixth largest economy, millions of Britons rely on food banks.

No curbs on profiteering. Energy prices up 44% since 2021-22.

Thousands of people can't afford heating, rely on community ‘warm spaces’.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts appease the rich.

The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept.

Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Farage has been fully aligned with, and amplified by, Putin’s propaganda machine for over 12 years now, ever since he met the Russian Ambassador and got a regular slot on Russia today. Leave EU synchronised their messaging with the Kremlin. It’s all here bylinetimes.com/2024/06/19/t...

There is much to applaud in Labour's new inquiry into foreign interference in British politics

But it needs to go much further if it's to tackle how foreign influence really works - and properly protect British democracy

This is good, but it's still fiddling at the edges. We don't just want to be "closer" to Europe, we want to be back "in" it – back at the heart of the EU project! Our return is inevitable. Everyone knows it. So why prolong the pain of being out in the cold? Take the first step and apply to rejoin!

Trump doesn't honour agreements. It's about dominance.

MI6 only had to talk to Carole Cadwalladr. Then they would have been on to Russian influence before Brexit, Chernukhin funding Tories, Johnson as FS & PM, Cummings in No10, Gibb @ BBC, Farage @ RT & RefUK. Russian assets all. PM May stopped the NCA investigation into Arron Banks & Russian money.

In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.

Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.

Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.
State pension age to increase to new threshold for millions of people
An increase in the age is on the horizon after it was announced more than a decade ago.

They find occasion to do something vile and discover that human rights law - the attempt to codify the limits basic decency imposes on state action - precludes their grim little agenda, and instead of recoiling from their own ugliness they decide the mirror is at fault.

It did not work then and it will not work now. Because once you agree that rights are the real obstacle, you have already handed victory to those who want rid of them altogether.”

Always a great combination @siliconcurtain.bsky.social & @keirgiles.bsky.social.
At times I rant in frustration at 4 walls, the radio & the TV yet Keir still calmly & clearly sums up the precipice we're heading towards, which he's been warning for more than a decade.
Russia/USA spot the difference!
Economic appeasement of authoritarians never leads to anything good. I ask Keir Giles if Europe has been surrendered to the Russian sphere of influence in the first Trumpian US National Security Policy - see his answer in this full interview. Keir Giles - youtu.be/sKdjPdq-LsE
