Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"

<<Addressing the National Growth Debate, Reeves stated that "there are big power blocs in the world. Our closest power bloc is in Europe and that is where we belong".
Britain's future is European>>

OK so can we #RejoinEU then please?

This 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 we are aware of….

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Al Gore:

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

A decisive step for Europe’s digital future. The European Commission has awarded a €180 million, 6-year contract to European cloud providers, strengthening our capacity to manage sensitive data under EU rules. 1/2

“…Irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years”

“Irreversible”.

This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Why a Welsh Reform Government wouldn’t last

Here's one of Reform UK's candidates for next month's local elections in Westminster seriously telling me on X in 2023 that: “Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I’d tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.”

When you accidentally say the quiet part out loud.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Toying with the world and the American parliament stands by watching.

Reform has fallen to 15% in Scotland — their lowest in over a year.
They've lost their national lead for the first time.
Neil Kinnock called them a "posh boys club" with "no design, no practical plan."
Their flagship council is a "horror show."

Is the bubble bursting?
Let's hope so 🙏

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Yet another criminal act to prosecute as soon as we regain both sides of Congress.

If you intend to vote Scottish Green this May, please be aware of potential voter confusion on the peach coloured regional list ballot paper.

Take care to mark your X next to the actual Scottish Greens and not another party which has 'GREEN' dominating their ballot insignia.

On any given day, you might as well roll a die to predict whether Donald Trump is going to claim total victory; imminent victory; a negotiated ceasefire; an imminent ceasefire; new attacks; crucial negotiations or imminent crucial negotiations. The only certainty is that he’ll be lying.
