This race sounds AWESOME!!! Wish it had been broadcast somewhere I could have watched it
Six things you probably missed in F1’s title decider
The Formula 1 broadcast was hyper-focussed on the title battle in Abu Dhabi - so many secondary plots went under the radar

We have decided to switch Ashes allegiances. As a team who will always support the underdog, we recognise the dire position England are now in, having gone 17 winless games in Australia since 2011. It has become like San Marino vs. Brazil in football. England need our support.

Good piece from Mother Jones - how right wing conspiracy theorists have gone from raising frivolous lawsuits alleging voter fraud to running the agency responsible for US voter integrity. Now they are using the weight of the DOJ to suppress democracy.

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

Great thread with good links to read. Europe needs to rapidly transition away from the US as an ally and recognise it as the threat it has become. That may mean an uneasy alliance with China, but it must be done, and quickly.
1/US stepping up attacks on the EU. This has left many in Europe scratching their heads but it is part of the neo-royalist agenda. The EU stands for the rules based order and stands in the way of a new order based not on rules but clique interests.

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling.

All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense.

Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

This US administration and all who support can best be described as ‘bat-shit crazy’.
