He is brave enough to tell the truth about how the government spends.

Modern Monetary Theory and International Trade: Developments on the Base Case for Analysis Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)’s approach to international trade distinguishes it from other schools of thought. From an MMT perspective, exports are real costs as they require giving something up that could have been consumed at home whereas imports are real benefits as they involve other nations giving something up that they could have consumed.

Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

I do believe this is the softest photo I have ever seen.

The far right stick together.
Well they try to...

Why are we still so dependent on overseas fuel?

Why haven't we moved faster, like other smart countries, to renewable energy?

Renewable energy offers more security and resilience.

The US Senate needs to act and fast.
The Trump administration is endangering us all.
This is not just about the US.
Trump must go.

Steve has a stern word with the back of his hand...

Steve's been sent home early from the pub because he's too drunk. He's had a quick shower to sober up and will be attempting re-entry shortly.

Starmer accepts 'voters are impatient for change' as Greens celebrate 'seismic' by-election win Hannah Spencer, a 34-year-old plumber, wins the Gorton and Denton by-election, with Reform coming in second and Labour in third.

Trumpian cry-baby tactics. Why can't far right accept defeat graciously?
They got whooped but can't accept it.
A great result for the good guys.

Why would anyone want to be a 'huntsman'?
It seems bizarre to me.

No clue that reducing the trade deficit is a negative supply shock that removes approximately that much from the US standard of living:

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Here's two baby otters having a snooze. Enjoy!

IT'S COMING ...
FASCISM IS IN CONTROL ...
JUST LIKE PUTIN ...

tRUMPSTEIN WILL GIVE HIMSELF 95% OF OUR VOTES ... 🤬🤬🤬

SO WHAT'S THE PLAN???

SHARE! In Starmer’s speech last night he apologised to Epstein victims for the denial of justice they suffered.

He said his govt would always seek truth against the powerful.

But HIS OWN GOVT blocked justice for 400+ Al Fayed victims & refused to investigate trafficking. Starmer is fully aware.

Surely Starmer must resign?

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

We see them.
We remember how Mandelson attacked Corbyn.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It’s been an eventful day. Steve has seized Rome. He’s not sure how.
