Venezuelan opposition politician María Corina Machado has won the Nobel peace prize.

The committee commended her as a “brave and committed champion of peace who keeps the flame of democracy burning during a growing darkness”.

I am very glad that they did not give the prize to the fascist Trump.

Macron is right. Europe needs to take back control of its online town square.

Time for a European X, Instagram, TikTok—all based on our values, all built to strengthen rather than weaken our democracy.

President Macron:
“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

We gaan de basis weer op orde brengen, onze plannen liggen klaar. Voor de sociale meerderheid. Zo gaan we samen vooruit.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 1d

Thanks to London’s bold action, almost 10 million people are now breathing cleaner air.

That means fewer children will grow up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease.

London hits clean air milestone 184 years early - ULEZ makes 'big difference'

A professor has branded the success a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality'

EU steel tariff hike threatens 'biggest ever crisis' for UK industry.

Crisis deepened by Brexit, Trump tariffs, trade wars, privatisation and lack of investment. Huge subsidies continue.

It is now either nationalisation or death of the industry.

Terwijl de directiesalarissen bij Tata Steel inmiddels boven de miljoen euro liggen.

I’d bet a cent that when the #Palestinian #genocide ends, many of the real antisemites and neo-fascists of the international far right will turn on #Netanyahu. They’ll accuse him of not finishing what, in their eyes, was “the job”: the annihilation of a Muslim people.

Oh yes, within a couple of days the fascist Trump will take revenge. That's the usual response from that little toddler in the White House. The Norwegians take this risk, but they are not afraid and have a strong economy.
