TRUMP HOUNDED DIANA LIKE A PREDATOR.

HE SMOTHERED HER WITH FLOWERS TO BUY HER.

SHE SAW A CREEP. SHE SAID IT OUT LOUD. SHE FELT UNSAFE BECAUSE OF HIM.

DIANA TOLD THE WORLD WHO HE WAS DECADES AGO.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
HER DISGUST IS HIS ETERNAL SHAME.

When Makerfield MP Josh Simons stood down for Burnham he said it was in the interests of his constituents.
It's now been announced he will be given a senior policy role in Burnham's No 10.
No surprise, no integrity, no democracy.
That's Labour.

Russians are starting to realize the huge costs Putin spends on war instead of improving the lives of Russians:

Putin decided to invest 25 trillion rubles not into developing his own country but to occupy a foreign one.

Someday, historians will count not only the trillions spent, but also the cost of missed opportunities, the future that Russia might have had but never happened.
Thank you Putin for that.

❗️“To shoot down ballistic missiles, you need something to shoot them down with. Patriot systems are sufficient — what’s needed is a constant supply of missiles. We have a certain… serious shortage of interceptor missiles,” — Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Ignat on today’s attack.

Jeff Bezos thinks people are
"vilifying the rich.”

Bro, you're one of the richest people on earth and 1/3 of your warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent.

You ARE the villain.

My friend’s dad built a business from nothing.

30 years. Blood and sweat. Turned it into something worth $2,000,000.

Sold it in 2019 to a private equity firm.

They gutted it in 18 months.
Cut 40 jobs.
Raised prices 35%.

Eliminated the pension plan he’d built for his employees.
Squeezed every dollar out and sold the carcass.

He calls it the worst decision he ever made.
Said he thought they’d protect what he built.

Private equity doesn’t buy businesses to run them.

They buy them to harvest them.
And they’re doing it to every industry you depend on daily.

🚨 ICE tortured a man to death, then covered it up.

An investigation has now ruled the man’s death was a homicide.

Thumbs up 👍 if you think ICE should be abolished.

Imagine that. The crooked FIFA boss who handed a bogus peace prize to a warmongering pedophile who killed 165 Iranian schoolchildren later reversed a World Cup decision because that same pedophile told him to.

Fuck Infantino. Fuck Trump.

THIS IS JUDGE MAGGIE SCOTT

We know we need to use less water to save our chalkstreams and temperate rain forests…so why are water guzzling AI data centres being built all over our greenbelt and countryside as part of this government’s national infrastructure?? https://t.co/jQar2MtTIV

I see Keir Starmer’s been saying he “restored Britain’s international reputation.”😂

Tell that to the many foreign tourists who couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the police arresting people in Parliament Square for opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.

To my Republican colleagues:

The President of the United States made $2.2 billion in one year while sitting in the Oval Office, most of it from industries he regulates. Experts now compare his self-enrichment to Putin and other authoritarians, not to any leader of a democracy.

You know this is blatant corruption.

You say it privately.

So when will you say it publicly?

Is holding your seat really worth your silence?

I’ve heard the argument. If you speak out, you lose your primary, and someone worse takes your place. But look around. What has your silence actually prevented? The corruption grows bolder every day you stay quiet. The country needs your courage more than it needs your incumbency.

One day your kids and grandkids will ask what you did when the President of the United States sold the office for billions. They will read the record. They will know whether you stood up or stayed quiet to protect a title.

Ask yourself how you want to be remembered, because history will remember either way.

You wouldn’t catch the Chinese doing this to appease a handful of rural voters.

Would’ve been nice to have HS2 in Manchester, but no. Instead we have tunnels in open countryside.

No money to pay Nurses, but £45,000,000,000 to give to Donald Trump…

These two companies use a tax avoidance scheme called Franchising

What they do is base their company in a country like the USA where they can pay little/no tax

Then in the other countries they open 'franchises', these pay large fees to the main country so they never make profit

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

Well done to Mad Ed… he’s been able to destroy what’s left of our dwindling manufacturing with his ideological, authoritarian Net Zero insanity.

Of course those far right factories should all be closed down anyway, right?

@BohuslavskaKate Putin has something very big on Trump in his back pocket!
