The EU is totally dependent on two countries it regards as adversaries for rare earths. In 2024, it imported 46% from China and 28% from Russia. That’s nearly three-quarters of the total. Good luck making fighter jets, drones, batteries etc if Moscow and Beijing pull the plug.

Zelensky has introduced new personal sanctions for so-called “anti-Ukrainian propaganda.” Because criticizing Zelensky or his government is now officially classified as “anti-Ukrainian activity.” Who knew 🇺🇦democracy meant never questioning the leader? Let’s be clear: Zelensky

Europeans must make sure that the EU leadership which has protected Apartheid Israel and rewarded it with even more weapons, money and partnership as it committed intl crimes, will be held accountable. Both at the electiont ballots and before courts.

"Policy makers and wider society should be aware that the rate of global warming over recent decades is a poor guide to the faster change that is likely over the decades to come, underscoring the urgency of deep reductions in fossil-fuel burning."

"We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Govt pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response." Joint statement UK/France/Canada 19/05/25

Very happy to contribute a comment for this excellent piece by Ian Sinclair that explains how 'most of the best books, according to the Guardian, just happen to be the same books heavily promoted by the Big Five [publishers] and corporate bookstores'. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/how-gu…

I spent a year at Ofwat back in 2013 working on price controls I’m not remotely surprised it’s being abolished - what I saw astonished me 🧵 theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Companies loaded up on debt not to upgrade assets, but to reward shareholders. Combined with the gaming of the regulatory system (more on this below), the result was bonanza for shareholders — at the expense of customers The sector had become an engine of wealth extraction

🚨🇨🇳 Chinese President: "If the international community continues to ignore what is happening in Gaza, China will find itself compelled to act in ways the West does not expect. Besieging and starving children is not a war… it is a heinous crime that cannot be ignored."

Britain plans to provide Ukraine with 4.5 billion in military aid this year. They will take it from the social support budget, the NHS and changing the retirement age to 69. The rest is new borrowing. The poor paying for the war.

As predicted, the spiders are starting to eat each other as the air in the jar runs out. Even the laughably named "Kyiv independent" ( a hollowed out propaganda rag ) is now attacking Zelensky.

AOC is literally morphing into our generation’s Nancy Pelosi right in front of our eyes. This is why democratic socialism is the dumbest sh*t ever. Trying to incrementally reform the system under the strictures of the Bourgeoisie will ultimately drag you the Right. You will

Ukrainians against corruption. Day 2. Demonstrators declare: Zelensky is the chief advocate of corruption in Ukraine. Everything I said turned out to be true. I wonder what NAFO bots think about this?

Protests outside Zelensky's office right now in Kiev. Problem with party drug addicts is that sooner or later they take it one step too far.

It was always obvious that once the people and their loved ones who fought and suffered in WWII had died off, capitalist governments of the west would scrap the welfare state, atomise society into self- seeking individuals, and return us to the brutality of the 19th century.
