Am I right in thinking that this unbearable heat has finally made the ‘Ooh I remember 1976 so it’s nothing to do with climate change’ crowd shut the fuck up finally?

UK govt does not 'need' to borrow any money at all. Not a penny.

It chooses to borrow because this suits the ruling financier class who make a fortune out of the bond racket.

Follow Prof Hall for the details.

This Vet brilliantly exposes the evils of US imperialism:

“The recruitment tool of the US military is to go to impoverished areas and offer things America doesn’t offer you like housing, healthcare, and income. We offer soldiers socialism to go abroad & defend capitalism.”

How do Americans not grasp how evil this is? The U.S. intentionally keeps its own people poor so they’re forced to enlist in the army to blow up innocent people in other countries, all to defend a capitalist system that makes the rich even richer.

When you defend US capitalism, you are defending a system that deprives your own people healthcare and housing so they’ll murder people abroad and fight in endless wars to ensure US corporations can plunder and extract other countries’ resources.

This is why we fight to end capitalism and build a world where no one is exploited or bombed to make another person rich. A world where the economy is based on meeting social needs and caring for the commons instead of endlessly exploiting others for profit.

"Is it difficult coming back?"

Surgeon professor Nizam Mamode, who was working in Gaza a few weeks ago: "Yes"

"How do you feel when you return?"

"I feel quite angry that this country.. is letting this genocide go by and doing nothing about it"

Jennifer Welch: “What happened in New York last night are the citizens standing up against corporations, against fascism, against MAGA, against corporate Democrats, against establishment Democrats, and this is hopefully going to sweep the entire country. Not wanting to fund a country that intentionally targets children is not radical in the least. It is radical, homicidal, and genocidal to kill kids and then to call the people who oppose that antisemitic assholes. This is the biggest bunch of gaslighting fuckery on the planet”

Good riddance, Sir Keir. For @ScotNational.

Fossil fuel giants and their billionaire backers have caused are boiling Britain.

We need action to reduce emissions - but we also need emergency safety measures too.

Cool spaces in every community and a maximum working temperature. It's time for Government to step in.

Wow, most comments are obviously bots (I hope they are or people are even bigger twats than I suspected) 1976 was 50 years ago and unless you’re in your late 60s or 70s STFU with ‘ooh my days, I remember it well, we just muddled along and had ice chocs’

Ash Sarkar on #PoliticsLive "The role of private equity in our social care system" @AyoCaesar 👏

"We've got a hugely expensive social care system. Adult and children social care is a massive part of local authority budget"

"It's part of the reason why so many local councils are in debt"

"And private equity is just siphoning money out of the system"

"In just three years, in three regions of England, private equity sucked out £250 million in profit"

"Something that Andy Burnham and whoever his pick of chancellor might be, is to say, we're not going to have such a huge role for private equity in the social care system"

"We're going to have strong limits on how much profit can be extracted"

"We're not going to have leveraged buyouts where private equity uses a tiny bit of their own money and then loads the company with debt"

Oh my god, the comments. I am actually reaching a point where I’m thinking extinction might be the kindest thing.

10 years ago, after narrowly winning the referendum, Boris Johnson confessed,

"We didn't have a plan for what to do next"

"We didn't think it was our job to have a plan"

10 years later, Brexit continues to be a disaster

How much more damage to our economy, may many more billions lost, how many more public services underfunded, till the UK get's a political leader who is honest with the public about the damage caused by Brexit and takes the UK back into the EU?

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff.

He supported Iraq invasion; ex chair of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants.

Next?

As you sit boiling in the heat, never forget that all those people who for decades have deliberately and maliciously disrupted efforts to tackle climate change are probably sitting comfortable in their large air conditioned houses.

Those houses were likely funded on the back of lies and misinformation they helped propagate.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR AT THE ICC??

Is this a sick joke?

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

That time Amy Goodman and I interviewed Alan Greenspan about:
- The failure of trickle down economics
- His role creating the 2008 financial collapse and the oligarch class
- His support for the invasion of Iraq and of shock therapy in Russia

He was pissed. https://t.co/8KTjUT60IH
