The current political climate is very funny because the government is now all reactionary posters who have spent their lives yelling on social media whenever they're mad so as things inevitably fall apart there's they very loudly broadcast how much their enemies strategies are hurting them

British politics is hooked on flashy fake numbers – and the AI investment debacle proves it | Jonathan Portes A claim that the UK is attracting billions of pounds in AI investment has been debunked.

They Lied About The School Bombing In Iran, And They're Going To Keep On Lying

Remember all the hasbarists and empire apologists who said it was a misfired Iranian missile that hit the school. Remember how aggressively and uniformly they all pushed this lie.

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one.
My column on the politicians, journalists and junktanks using the Iran crisis as an excuse to extract our remaining gas and oil.

Redress schemes for Post Office Horizon scandal have serious failings, MPs find Committee says thousands of victims still waiting for compensation and ‘face unacceptable delays and inadequate offers’

The redress schemes for victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal have “serious structural failings”,

Thousands still waiting for compensation.

Profiteering pushing people into poverty. Nationalise essentials.

PRA fines Aviva £10.625m over Direct Line accounting miscalculation.

It overstated solvency ratios. Failure of controls and resourcing issues in its finance and actuarial functions.

Company will pass fine to customers. Execs face no penalties.

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

Trump: ‘When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money’.

Thousands killed, children orphaned, infrastructure destroyed, UN emasculated to enable US companies to make bigger profits - capitalism thrives on destruction.

Trillions of atoms, billions of years of human evolution and the world got Trump.

A superpower in protecting pedophiles.

Water crisis looms as company warns it can’t meet demand for new homes Councillors say it must serve as a wake-up call on the Labour government's plans to build 1.5m new homes

South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes

​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitu...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that Prince Andrew and Lord Mandelson had any idea what their good friend Jeffrey Epstein was getting up to. Only a conspiracy theorist would suggest otherwise.

IDF soldiers have officially been granted the right to r@pe Palestinian prisoners For the past 18 months, a dark cloud has loomed over Israel, threatening to rain on the parade of its heroic defenders.

Anyone who disapproves is an antisemite

Starmer is a national security threat.

The people who are promoting far-right Zionism, are now trying to save it, but any outfit that thrives on sabotage eventually implodes.
