It’s amazing how controversial this idea is…. Just bloody leave it as it is…. #savelochlomond

This is a terrible decision by Reeves, considering we are still suffering from the impact of the 2007-8 banking crisis with never ending austerity & have we not learned any lessons on trickle-down economics theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Stagflation: the worst of two worlds. The economy isn’t growing but inflation is rising. So people feel poorer. We had it several times under the previous government and it’s back. Inflation rose to 3.6% and the economy has shrunk for two months. The search for growth continues…

Hep is Say No. it’s not just happening at Loch Lomond. It’s happening around Scotland. Where we are losing public land to private companies. It needs to stop!

Venezuela’s Maduro is a corrupt, vicious dictator repressing democratic opposition . But the US unilaterally capturing a foreign leader not at war breaches every canon of intl law. Justifies Putin in Ukraine/Xi in Taiwan. Might is right. Who next on what pretext? A dark moment.

I cannot tell you just how significant this speech is by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. Europe is in my view about to call Trump’s bluff and I really don’t think Americans understand just how catastrophically damaging this could be in terms of long

As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired leadership. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
