I don't know where the #Labourparty is at the moment. I had expected comms, like this, from them. Kudos to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for this: www.instagram.com/reel/DPeiG02...

Plenty of ire & scorn against all parties, derision is aimed at #Glasman & #MorganMcSweeney . But rare praise from @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social for our editor in chief - the redoubtable @annadamski.bsky.social . If only she were running the country.

I believe #KeirStarmmer is listening to the wrong people & looking at the face of #edmilliband.bsky.social he agrees too.

Illegal fishing fleets can no longer count on global subsidies.

With two-thirds of WTO members on board, the first environmental trade agreement has entered into force – and countries must start cutting harmful support worth billions.

📢 See why this landmark deal matters.

Subsidies for international illegal fishing are abolished

Twenty-five years after talks on limiting fishing subsidies first began, a legally binding agreement has come into force

If the Chancellor is raising taxes in November then she must start with raising them on us, the super rich. No ifs, no buts, no questions: we are the only ones left who can afford to contribute more.

Hearing that irascible ignoramus at the #UN infuriates me. He seems to think he's something special. He really isn't - over inflated discombobulation of vanity. What a dangerous #predator.
