Way past time @GOVUK members are forced to disclose shareholdings. Only explanation for refusing to support these measures are that the #Tories don't want #Pharma drug prices to decrease, 'cos higher #profits = fatter #dividends. #VestedInterests #Corruption @Conservatives

"Throughout the years of Julian's imprisonment and persecution, an incredible movement has been formed. People from all walks of life from around the world who support not just Julian... but what Julian stands for: truth and justice." - @Stella_Assange https://t.co/o6rEz3urdP

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

Starmer insists voters must know the 'character' of the candidates for PM.

So, on the one side, there's Sunak, a genocide supporter and a liar.

And on the other, there's Starmer, a genocide supporter and a liar – he's broken every pledge that got him elected Labour leader.

Irish wild salmon have collapsed from 1.76 million in 1975 to 171,700 in 2022.

And it's the same almost everywhere you look: birds, insects, plants, whole ecosystems ... nature is vanishing on our watch.

But there *is* a cure: mass REWILDING. 🌏

Benjamin Zephaniah "If you didn't have troublemakers, most women wouldn't have the right to vote, a black person wouldn't be talking to a white person and I'd be back in slavery. We need troublemakers to challenge the establishment. I want to be one of those people."

🚨There are currently 4 people on unlimited hunger strike against climate breakdown in Germany. They are demanding nothing more than an honest government statement by the German Chancellor which states three scientific facts.

The Lie - The ECHR is a foreign court.

The Truth - The ECHR is a document that the UK wrote and signed after WW2 to prevent Genocide, Slavery and Fascism in Europe.

You should suspect that the people who want to undo it want those very things.

It certainly looks like it.

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

Fucking stop it with your 2050 pledges. How does it help if we are already famished? How does it help if we are already displaced? How does it help if we are already dead? How?

[Roger Hallam @RogerHallamCS21]

If ever there was one datapoint which proved that humanity is inevitably moving into a period of revolutionary social disruption, it is the top right hand point of this chart.

The global sea level temperature for the first 5 months of 2024 is literally off the chart. The super exponential hypothesis is alive and kicking.

Meaning, in everyday language,things are going to get so bad so quickly political regimes are going to collapse like dominoes.

As I keep saying - the key question of our time is this: WHAT COMES NEXT? - Fascism or Radical Democracy?

Very eye-opening to see who's leading the way on clean energy investment – and who's leading on fossil fuels

China: Clean energy investment 3.7x fossil fuels
Europe: 5.5x more in clean energy
N America: Biggest investor in fossil fuels
Middle East: 5.4x more on fossil fuels

People are getting very worked up that state pension is taxable. But the real scandal is that unearned income like dividends and capital gains have special tax free allowances and are taxed at lower rates than earned income, 8.75% and 10% basic rate for example.

[Dr Julia Grace Patterson💙 @JujuliaGrace]

A lot of people in the UK would be happier to pay higher taxes if our public services actually functioned and money wasn’t constantly siphoned off into shareholder pockets.
