'If we try to repay the national debt, we're asking the government to tax us more than the value of the services and benefits they provide to us.'

Prof @RichardJMurphy explains some complexities Chancellor John Healey should bear in mind ahead of the Autumn Budget.

Too many politicians went to expensive private schools, says politician who went to £30,000-a-year private school

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Elon Musk spent $290M to elect Trump. Now he wants to spend up to $200M to buy a Senate seat in Texas and keep Republicans in control of Congress.

That’s not democracy. That’s oligarchy.

End Citizens United. Ban super PACs. Get billionaires—from both parties—out of elections.

More than 100 French and British former diplomats have said Palestine is being erased in front of the world’s eyes and called for urgent action including trade and arms sales bans to press Israel to accept a Palestinian state.

@JohnJCrace Absolutely but the press hysteria follows them wherever they go

MYSTERY MEAT: Trump says he struck a deal to flood the U.S. with cheaper foreign beef.

There’s just one problem: He refuses to tell Americans which countries the beef is coming from.

And U.S. ranchers are furious. https://t.co/xtjFb43rnp

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The MOST IMMORAL ARMY strikes again.And again. And again.
In the West Bank, soldiers and settlers cut water pipes, while Qusra's siege continues.
In Gaza the pulverization continues and so the massacres.Since the ceasefire Israel has killed 1,200+ people, including 300 children.

“The whole thing is such a massive scam [..] that most people can’t believe it.”

Recently I hosted a screening of the documentary-drama exposing the sewage scandal, #DirtyBusiness, in Norwich.

It was important to me that my constituents got to hear from the real people behind the show. People like Ash Smith of @WindrushWasp, who's spent 10+ years uncovering mass criminality in our privatised water system.

Privatisation has failed us. It’s time for public ownership.

We really need to talk more about how Israel literally admits killing many of its own civilians during the October 7 "attacks".

BREAKING: Canadian PM Mark Carney suspends all trade negotiations with the U.S. after “unfair, uneconomic” last-minute changes to the deal.

At midnight the U.S. will implement a 50% tariff on ~$28 billion of Canadian goods, and now, Canada will match it dollar-for-dollar.

“We will not allow any nation to determine our future.”

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

Mark Carney doing the world's work.

Next stop Andy Burnham?

@vonderleyen Do all you can to stop this then

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

The Israeli Government’s decision to publish construction tenders for the E1 settlement project is unacceptable.

We have long opposed this step.

It undermines the two-state solution by dividing the West Bank and breaking the territorial continuity of the Palestinian Territories.

We remain committed to a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution.

Who owns Britain's beaches, forests and countryside?

Probably someone very, very rich.

I've started a new series exploring who really owns Britain.

The very brilliant, tenacious, redoubtable journalist that is @gillplimmer1 of the @FT describes her decent into a sewage scandal that has rocked the nation, the making of new friends, I am honoured to be one of them and the threats, the bullying, the cajoling of the water companies all in a failed attempt to get her to stop.

Fabulous, fabulous read...
