"I'm not voting Green in this election because I still believe in a Labour movement" Mick Lynch, former RMT General Secretary, tells @bbcpaddy that while he will not vote for the Green Party, "maybe they'll be part of a bigger labour movement in the future." #Newsnight




๐จ NEW: Zack Polanski suggests Donald Trump is worse than Vladimir Putin โAs horrendous as Putin isโฆ Iโve never seen him threaten genocide. I've never seen him threaten to wipe out a civilizationโฆ Starmerโs so-called special relationship is more of a danger than what Putin is doing in Ukraineโ [@antoguerrera]



The headline says that the costs of Trumpโs tantrums are โstarting to showโ. I donโt think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. Itโs over. No one can trust the US. Itโs not because of Trump. Itโs because we know your system canโt/ wonโt stop him or the next guy after him. And also that thereโs enough of you who think it would be โcoolโ to invade just to rub it in our faces. Thatโs a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.



In the United States, President Trumpโs periodic insults hurled toward allies get treated as routine tantrums. But in those countries, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/โฆ

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"








BBC attributes attacks to Israel only 50% of the time; The Guardian also just 54%. By contrast, Al Jazeera explicitly names the perpetrator in 89% of cases. Devastating new report from @newscord_org on the UK media's failure to accurately report Israel's genocide in Gaza.
