10 years ago this day, David Cameron stood outside No.10 & announced referendum on European Union membership. It did not end well for either side, Remain or Leave. The disaster was easily predicted. Brexit, the greatest fraud in UK history. #BrexitFraudUK https://t.co/kA3WTnwuTI
BREAKING: WIN 🏳️⚧️ 💥
The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.
Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.
Palantir’s stated mission is to defend America. Peter Thiel is a radical libertarian who does not believe ‘freedom & democracy are compatible’.
Yet, the UK is overwhelmingly dependent on Palantir’s services. As a national security threat, this is off the charts.

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system

Your water bills are going up, again.
Why? Because private companies think you should pay the price for their negligence and greed.
It’s time to end the privatisation rip-off and bring water back into public ownership, now!
Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.
It’s bizarre that at the same time as Trump 🇺🇸 exaggerates 🇷🇺 threats against 🇬🇱, his team is in discussions with 🇷🇺 on 🇺🇸🇷🇺 cooperation in developing Arctic energy resources off the Siberia coast. If there is one 🇷🇺 priority in the Arctic - that’s the one.
It’s hard to overstate just how high the political temperature is running in Minneapolis. Militarisation of the police. A quasi-militarisation of residents in response, a network of people “on patrol”, standing on street corners, waiting to observe and deter ICE.
How dare you, Senator, even mention in the same breath the great man who delivered the final blow to the Evil Empire to a moron doing the KGB's bidding and helping reincarnate that same empire?!
It’s a myth that 🇬🇱 controls the Arctic sea routes. The key one is thousands of kilometers away from 🇬🇱 and is controlled by 🇷🇺 and the more nearby one is controlled by the ally 🇨🇦. And 🇺🇸 is by the Berings Strait that connects both of them with the Pacific Ocean.
Let’s talk about the so-called UK independent nuclear deterrent
It is NOT independent
UK pays for it
US controls its use
It makes the UK a target
We should STOP funding it and use the money to abolish poverty in the UK
Hope is more than wishful thinking—it's the stubborn voice in your chest that refuses to go quiet. It doesn't promise smooth sailing; it simply insists the journey continues. When circumstances scream "stop," hope leans in close and whispers "not yet." It's the invisible hand that steadies you when your strength falters, the lantern you carry through tunnels where you can't yet see the exit. This isn't blind optimism—it's the radical act of staying open to possibility when logic says to close down, of keeping faith in unseen pathways when the map runs out of roads.

This winter, I brought to life something that has lived in my imagination for years—the first annual print edition of The Gurdeep Magazine. It features writing from other contributors alongside my own work. If you feel called to hold this warmth of printed words in your hands, visit https://t.co/BXgkHE1cIT.
Trump applying stronger sanctions on the genocidal Russian dictatorship, an active enemy of the US and its allies? No, he’s raising taxes on Americans to punish European allies over the vast irrelevancy of Greenland in order to destroy NATO to benefit Russia.
