Nigel Farage is in Mar-a-Lago tonight (not Clacton, obvs). Via Politico: "What Farage should be doing: Sorting out his Reform documents with Companies House. The party is overdue on submitting a [legally mandatory] statement."

Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.

Dans un pays aussi riche que le Canada, pourquoi certaines familles souffrent-elles de la faim tandis que les milliardaires s'enrichissent ? Il est temps de mettre fin à l'extrême richesse et de bâtir un Canada qui prend soin de ses citoyens.

Green Party of Canada graphic on a dark green background. The text reads: “Canadians are going HUNGRY While grocery billionaire Galen Weston is the third richest person in Canada.” “HUNGRY” and “Galen Weston” are bolded. A black-and-white portrait of Galen Weston appears in the lower right with a bright green outline. The Green Party of Canada logo is in the lower left.

Green Party graphic on a dark green background featuring a large black-and-white open mouth in the centre. Three overlapping text blocks read: “WEALTH TAX NOW!” The word “TAX” appears on a tilted white box outlined in green. The Green Party logo and name appear at the bottom.

In a country as wealthy as Canada, why are families going hungry while billionaires get richer? It’s time to end extreme wealth and build a Canada that takes care of people. #Wealthtaxnow

Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

What goes on in UK airspace is for Westminster.

Who gets to land at Prestwick is ultimately up to its owner, the Scottish Government. As shown previously by the ban on the Israeli military.

So why were 100s of US military aircraft allowed to use the airport in the last year?

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

UK democracy in action

The state unable/unwilling to provide people with clean water, timely healthcare, social care, decent housing, pension, affordable education, energy, decent roads.

Corporate profits guaranteed through PFI, privatisations, outsourcing, subsidies, regulatory inaction.

Peter Mandelson released from bail conditions Police have decided former minister is not a flight risk, but he remains under investigation

A reminder that there are young people in the UK who have been held in prison for up to two years without conviction for allegedly dismantling weapons of genocide.

The government has been proven wrong on all accusations against them so far.

Mark Carney’s Pipeline MOU With Danielle Smith Has Been A Disaster First Nations are furious, environmentalists feel betrayed, oil companies are demanding more, and the clock is ticking.

We checked in on Mark Carney and Danielle Smith's pipeline MOU to see how negotiations are going.

❗️ Spoiler alert: it's a disaster.

The UK government's performative cruelty also negatively impacts the economy and demographics in Scotland.

Westminster dictating our immigration and asylum policy is terrible for Scotland's standing in the world too.

The U.S. carceral system costs tax payers $80B+ a year and the it costs the families of those incarcerated, often low-income, over $350B a year in legal fees, commissary purchases and phone calls. @prisonpolicy

Storage Is the New Status Symbol Why tuck away a $1 million car or six-figure Birkin bag when you can stage it like art?

"The design firm HollandGreen created a car gallery outside a large home in the Cotswolds for a client to store his collection."
