Landmines are coming back to Europe - quietly. Countries like Poland are already moving toward using them. Others may follow. They don’t stop killing when wars end. We can still stop this, but we need to act now. action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-04...
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Since the start of its ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, Israeli authorities have drastically escalated their policy of torture, abuse, & extreme deprivation of food & medical care against Palestinian prisoners in a desperate attempt to break their will.

Fossil fuel giants, arms dealers, banks and big tech are set to make eye‑watering profits off the illegal war on Iran.
We must say no to profiteering, protect people & break free from fossil fuels.

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.
And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.
UK and EU finalise agreement to bring UK into Erasmus+ in 2027. Over 100,000 people are expected to benefit in the first year alone. Source: Department for Education, 15 April 2026.
Today, the UK and the EU signed the legal text in Brussels today to formally bring the UK into Erasmus+ in 2027.
This marks a monumental milestone for young people across the UK, whom, from 2027 onwards, can experience transformative opportunities with Eramus+.
Let's encourage our MP Jesse Norman: The world has changed beyond recognition over the last decade. Membership of the EU is the only way to return Britain to the centre of the world stage.
Tell your MP it is time to talk about EU membership. 🙋 hey-mp.uk/hey/Jesse-No...

Today outside the IMO we called for an end to forest biomass. Biofuels from trees are not a climate solution, they’re a threat to forests, people, and the planet. #biomass #forests #notobiofuels
I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".
1 in 6 people in the UK can't always afford to eat. This is unacceptable – that's why I used the equalitytrust.bsky.social tool to write to my MP asking them to support the right to food.

The government promised to bring our railway into public ownership. Their Railways Bill leaves huge parts of our railway in the hands of private profiteers. Ask your MP to make sure it delivers for passengers, not profit. weownit.org.uk/rail-tug-of-...
Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.
Odd how the minor administrative errors always seem to produce the same results.

He is correct.
It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate.
Causing debate and division.
"Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.
“It’s deeply shocking that Reform has developed such close ties with Orbán’s regime, an authoritarian govt with an appalling record of rolling back democracy and civic rights”
Where ‘deeply shocking’ = entirely on brand.
Hungary shows us we must never give them power.
