Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

Starmer backs Trump’s bombing of Iran saying it ‘can never be allowed to develop nuclear weapon’.
Is UK going to be sucked into another US led war? No WMD in Iraq. Libya, Syria destabilised
Imperialist mentality of conquest, regime change causes more chaos.

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills.
There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.
This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.
These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.
Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?
There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.

Thing that skips by in this early review of Star Wars by Barry Norman is that he explains it will be opening after Christmas in the UK even though it had been out in US cinemas since the previous MAY.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Four things to say about the £23bn Thames Water needs for infrastructure repair:
1. As I understand it, this covers only extreme, emergency repairs, for infrastructure that’s about to fail or has already done so.
2. It’s almost certainly an underestimate.
Another short privatisation🧵

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
