Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up

Another #Brexit gift
Govt should be ashamed.
Since Brexit, UK’s regulation of #Pfas fallen woefully behind EU, which plans a ban on all Pfas. UK only restricting certain ones. When you ban one, industry tweaks formulation to produce a new variant that poses identical or perhaps worse health risks

It’s ironic that there are now reports of Epstein trying to pass on info about DJT to Russian intelligence. Obviously didn’t know that the KGB knew ALL they needed about him already.

Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?
You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

Given the Industrial Revolution was largely powered by children working in what we could consider prison camps, policed by oligarchs using private militias, and funded by slave-picked cotton, yeah it would probably be illegal. But that isn’t what is stupid about this article!

Well, I note things like: Epstein and Peter Thiel agreeing that the real money is made in monetising collapse and decay. Then, I look at what’s been happening in Britain for decades. And then, I ask myself: what exactly would people like Mandelson and Co. have to offer these predatory zillionaires?

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

This is clearly a genocidal act by Netanyahu's government and their military.

If you're wondering why Farage wants to get us out of the ECHR, he wants to take away our protections so that corporations in the UK can make us work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for poverty pay. He is telling us we need to be productive and forget about work-life balance.
Would you want that?
