Dans la vision de Trump, le Groenland n’est ni un peuple ni un espace politique. C’est une position, une réserve, un levier dans un monde de concurrence accrue.

Where did the money go – we offer some answers We are a leading economy but this isn't reflected in how we feel. The UK has fallen behind other countries on many metrics

Researchers warn UK has a “finance curse” – an oversized sector extracting wealth instead of creating it.

If Britain wants to feel better off again, we need a financial system that invests in the real economy – not one that gambles with it.

Venezuela : Emmanuel Macron salue la fin de la « dictature Maduro » et appelle à une « transition démocratique » Alors qu’Emmanuel Macron a salué le départ force de Maduro du pouvoir vénézuélien, son opposant Jean-Luc Mélenchon a dénoncé le « pur impéri

Je rêve, ou Emmanuel Macron ne dit rien sur l’illégalité de l'intervention des Etats-Unis, ni sur les prétextes grotesques de Donald Trump pour couvrir son appétit insatiable de pétrole ?

A shot, taken from the rear, of a mother walking down the street with two children

'Removing the two-child cap doesn't suddenly make UK welfare generous. The overall benefits cap remains. Housing support is detached from real rents. Conditionality, sanctions and suspicion remain the organising logic of Universal Credit.'

Le journaliste français Christophe Gleizes a vu sa peine de 7 ans de prison confirmée en appel. Il n’a fait que son métier. Nous appelons à sa libération et nous appelons la France à faire tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour la rendre possible.

Un rapport accablant condamne la réponse du Royaume-Uni à la pandémie de Covid-19 Le Royaume-Uni a été l’un des pays européens les plus touchés par la pandémie de Covid. Il a entamé une grande enquête publique pour tirer les leçons de la gestion de cette période. À l’époque, Boris Johnson était à la tête du pays. Un premier rapport sorti l’année dernière avait conclu à l’impréparation des dirigeants. Cette fois-ci, la juge en charge de l’enquête estime que le gouvernement en a fait trop peu, trop tard.

Assa Samake-Roman: Fear, not public will, is slowing the green transition TEN years ago, world leaders met in Paris for COP21. The agreement that followed did not solve the climate crisis – no text could. But it did…

COP’s coming up in Brazil. Feels like governments in Europe are acting scared of public opinion on climate.
But most people aren’t against action: they just don’t want to be left to deal with everything by themselves.

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

Nigel Farage surrounded by media people with phones, as usual

'Farage thrives on neoliberal ruins. His promise is to protect “the people” against elites and foreigners, but he protects nothing. He ensures only that the cycle continues – insecurity, resentment, authoritarian promise.'
