@ledbydonkeys.org is always worth watching. This explains in detail how Trump reached power again. Thanks Twitter - it was an interesting ride. I'm off to Bluesky - join me there. Goodbye and good riddance to X.
West Yorkshire is home to seven universities, producing thousands of graduates every year.

In the next 4 years, Americans will see vengeance, retributions, firings, jailings, killings, kidnappings, disappearances, beatings, insults, street brawls, Karens on parades, family separations, and pure evil at a scale “never seen before.”This is the America MAGA wanted, and now they have it. Thugs are in charge. I have seen this movie before in my country of birth. It will not end well. Mark my words.
The majority of MSPs are clear that Labour needs to reverse its irresponsible policy banning all new oil and gas licenses irrespective of the impact on jobs.
There must be a rock-solid, cast-iron plan for jobs, or we will fight any bans on production.

Unite members want @unitetheunion to be their recognised union yet @Veolia are refusing. Senior management in #Paris now need to step in and resolve this dispute. Respect the wishes of the workforce and signs a collective bargaining agreement with Unite.
Public, democratic control makes #energy affordable while sustaining decent work. The question isn't 'can we afford to nationalise', it's 'how long can we afford not to'?
It’s time to pull the plug on the energy #profiteers.
The 50 richest families in Britain are worth £500bn, the same amount of money that half of Britain is worth.
Unite’s plan is for a tax of 1% to be applied on the assets of those worth more than £4m, which would raise £25bn a year to fund investment in public services. #WealthTax
Notable how far even President Trump himself has travelled on this. In January 2021 he said “To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.”
Four years later, he called those same people “hostages” and pardoned them.
It’s our 3rd anniversary!
We’re off duty cops that wanted to break down barriers and help make a difference. We’ve raised nearly 50k for hospitals, hospices, domestic abuse and mental health support, and met lots of amazing people!
Your support is everything. Thank you 💙
@BylineTimes I remember Hugh Grant’s post about why he settled. Basically if the amount awarded was £1 less than the offered settlement he would have had to pay their costs, about £10M.
It’s a rigged system and needs to be demolished.
UK Chancellor seeks to influence the outcome of the car loans scandal.
Tells the Supreme Court that £30bn compensation to customers for mis-sold loans will harm the economy.

Tax Wars.
Donald Trump threatens to double tax rates for foreign nationals and companies.
Wants to return to imperial times when companies paid tax at place of their control, not where they trade. Will retaliate
Poorest countries be the biggest losers

“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is often interred with their bones”
The Nobel peace prize winning president Jimmy Carter who represented everything honest and good about America skips 2025 taking the good with him.
And America is left with?
