Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

Wes Streeting has broken ranks and said the Brexit hangover is a massive economic hit and Britain needs closer ties with Europe through a customs union...and a majority of Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters agree. Eight out of ten back opening talks, yet the leadership clings to red lines.

While a customs union between UK and EU would be a very positive development, there is a danger in presenting it as some sort of silver bullet that can deliver unrealistic growth. Only deep and dynamic beneficial alignment can achieve that. Listen to @pimlicat.bsky.social explain. ~AA

Do both.
And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns.
Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

If Labour fears the word Europe more than it fears Reform UK rewriting every debate, it has chosen surrender. The country wants powerful allies, strong trade, growth and stability. Making Europe a central theme at the next election could unify the centre-left and expose the right’s bankrupt vision.

2025 has been a speed competition in normalising racism. And as Toni Morrison said, the serious function of racism is distraction. So 2025 has topped the charts in distraction from the real work to achieve societal progress.
Wishing you a less distracted 2026.

Tommy Dubai Robinson & Nigel Dubai Farage are happy to court wealthy backers from the UAE while telling their supporters to hate Muslims at home. That contradiction tells you everything. This was never about values or culture. It was always about money power and who they think is useful.

We cannot allow that.
We must stand with the hunger strikers and immediate bail for the remand prisoners — now.
