"This is the end of the American Empire. China trumps the United States. The business of China is business and the business of America is war.

@BrownUniversity said the United States has spent over $8 trillion since 9-11 fighting wars as the country is rotting in front of our eyes. They're going to keep going to war, going to war, bring down the economy. Trump said he was going to cut the defense budget by half a trillion. Now he's adding half a trillion. There's no middle class anymore..." @geraldcelente of https://t.co/q5q9RjXaPV 🗽

"Right-wing billionaires are controlling much of the mainstream media."

"That is a very scary prospect when President Trump makes it clear that he expects loyalty."

Is @mehdirhasan paranoid to think that Trump could close down his media company?

🚨 A decade on from the vote to leave the EU, many in the fishing community say their industry was betrayed after promises - made by Nigel Farage and Vote Leave team - that Britain would regain control of its waters.

“We feel betrayed, because we were convinced, promised, we were going to get these basic points – with the failure to uphold a limit on foreign vessels fishing with 12 nautical miles from the UK coast being the biggest let-down,” says fisherman Anthony Hoskin, at Newlyn Harbour in Cornwall.

“We were told there would be no French and Belgian ships towing away our gear, and it’d make our lives easier,” he says. “I wasn’t going to be left unable to sleep knowing my thousands of pounds’ worth of rope and pots could be gone.

“We were even going to have control of our quotas, no dictating from Brussels. But we were sold down the river, simple as that.”

Trump on Iran:

My preference would be to take Kharg Island.

Not sure the U.S. has the appetite for it.

@LizWebsterSBF Absolutely. And suppressing these reports on the premise that they’re too uosetting is precisely the wrong instinct - the public NEEDS to know how desperate the situation is to provide govt with the mandate to act

[Huw Ringer @HuwRinger]

@LizWebsterSBF No problem - it’s literally a matter of life and death that people read this and understand how precarious our food security currently is, and how closely related this is to policy levers the government has direct control over eg environment, trade/commerce, energy, agriculture

🚨 The Atlantic, July 2026: “How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi”

A devastating assessment: 18 years of stagnation, self-inflicted wounds (austerity + Brexit), crumbling NHS, housing crisis, failing infrastructure, political chaos and a country that has fallen far behind its peers.

“The British broke Britain.”

Austerity and Brexit were the biggest self-inflicted blows. Brexit alone shaved 6–8% off GDP per capita.

The nostalgia and denial are fading. Reality is sinking in.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This is Trump’s Watergate.

Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House. 

Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public 
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

Netanyahu asks Lebanese if they remember the days when Lebanon was called the “Pearl of the Middle East.”

We do.

We also remember who invaded Lebanon in 1982, besieged Beirut, occupied the south for nearly two decades, bombed our cities, carried out massacres, assassinations & repeated wars.

Interesting how Hezbollah is blamed for everything, including Lebanon’s decline, while the Israeli invasion, occupation & destruction that predated Hezbollah’s very existence are simply erased from the story.

Hezbollah did not invade Lebanon. Israel did.

Hezbollah did not create the occupation. Hezbollah emerged because of it.

You also speak as though Hezbollah is not Lebanese. Whether one supports it or opposes it, Hezbollah represents a significant segment of Lebanese society. It has MPs in parliament, ministers in government, & a constituency that cannot simply be wished out of existence. Millions of Lebanese cannot be erased because that makes for a more convenient Israeli political narrative.

The arrogance of telling Lebanese to “free themselves” from other Lebanese while Israeli forces occupy Lebanese territory & Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace daily is difficult to miss.

You speak as though Lebanon’s problems began with Hezbollah & Iran. That is historically illiterate at best & deliberately dishonest at worst.

Lebanon has suffered from corruption, sectarianism, foreign intervention & political failure. But it has also endured repeated Israeli invasions, occupations, bombardments, assassinations & wars long before Hezbollah became a major force.

And now the man whose military has spent months bombing Lebanese towns, flattening homes, killing civilians, displacing entire communities & threatening the country with “another Gaza” wants to present himself as a concerned friend of the Lebanese people.

The audacity is staggering. It would be impressive were it not so grotesque. The historical revisionism is even worse.

You must be getting desperate if this is the story you are trying to sell.

In the UK, sitting peacefully opposing genocide is deemed terrorism whilst burning houses, rioting and targeting minority groups is considered ‘protest’

Laughing at innocent people running for their lives while calling them "parasites" because of the colour of their skin just proves that nazis are the biggest cancer to this planet.

Last week, Southampton saw violence, criminal damage, 11 police officers injured and a police dog hurt.

This week, hospital workers in Belfast are being intimidated while simply trying to do the jobs that keep our communities alive.

When politicians and influencers exploit fear, division and anger, the consequences are felt by ordinary people.

We have seen how far-right populism can weaponise grievances, turn communities against each other and normalise hostility towards minorities and migrants.

Brexit was fuelled by narratives about fear and division. We should be asking whether the politics of permanent outrage is making Britain safer or simply making it more volatile.

We do not need more enemies within our communities. We need more people like the nurses, carers and workers who choose to build them.

The choice is between fear and solidarity.

"Everyone of colour in Northern Ireland.. is living in fear. That includes all of our members who are primarily nurses, healthcare workers, social care workers..

Israel has murdered 3 TIMES MORE Lebanese civilians in the past few weeks than Israelis killed on Oct 7th.

And A HUNDRED times more kids.

Just in Lebanon.

A deranged state armed and funded by the west.

Terrifying evil.

To be fair, Ofcom did publish an open letter yesterday pleading with social media companies in general not to help incite hatred in our communities. Good luck with that!
