Ban crypto . A tool of the kleptocrats

Keir Starmer confirms suspension of crypto donations to political parties. “I can tell the house, we will act decisively to protect our democracy – that will include a moratorium on all political donations made through cryptocurrencies.”

🤬🤬🤬Trump Netanyahu (Epstein) Putin are our enemies . Simple. Not their peoples . The autocrats .

Usual pathetically cowardly & uncritical coverage of Israel's war crimes @BBCNews. Reports the displacement of a million people almost as an afterthought. "Israel says it will take control of large buffer zone in southern Lebanon" bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Spain recognises the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its Capital. Now it is time for the world to evict Israel from Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Orban’s Foreign Minister has confirmed that he systematically informed Moscow what EU leaders talked about behind closed doors. What a disgrace.

Shouldn’t company and individual political funding be capped at say 1000? £300000 still smacks of undue influence to me!

👏👏👏👏👏

🔴 Stella Creasy nails it 👏 You can’t say our energy system has left us vulnerable… and then oppose the only things that actually make us independent. Oil and gas tie us to global markets. Renewables break that link. It really is that simple.

Absolute bombshell. Former UK Minister Alan Duncan confirms there was a clear peace agreement mediated by Oman for ZERO nuclear proliferation in Iran. But it was sabotaged and betrayed by Israel because they always wanted to attack Iran. Israel started this war!

Labour have been smearing the Greens on our evidenced-based approach to drugs. If the PM won’t listen to us, and he won’t listen to the experts, will he listen to the families at @anyoneschild, who have lost loved ones under the UK’s current negligent drug policies?

As an old remoaner yes totally depressing!

Just popped in #Waitrose. In the queue, over 70s with their trolleys each with a copy of either the Daily Mail or the Telegraph. This is one reason why Reform has done well. 2 tabloids that aggressively promote the far-right. Depressing.

Spain’s energy is cheaper because they generate much more of it from renewables, which have no ongoing fuel cost, and they’ve taken steps to stop expensive gas from setting the price of everything. In the UK, even when electricity comes from wind or solar, the price is still often driven by gas which is traded globally so we end up paying international prices. Spain 🇪🇸 has reduced its exposure to gas, while the UK 🇬🇧 is still tied to it.

If Brexit is a success… Why is it costing Britain £4.3bn every single week? 🇬🇧💸

BREAKING: A new report proposes tighter rules on political donations, including limits on contributions from Britons overseas and restrictions on company donations. These changes would particularly affect Reform UK as @SamCoatesSky reports

BLIMEY - there will doubtless and rightly be a lot of focus on the limit on overseas donations and the ban on crypto (tick to both) but in some ways might this be the most important paragraph in the Rycroft report on foreign interference in our politics (prompted in part by Russian funding of Farage Party) “Separately, beyond these hostile state threats, I am also cognisant of a potential new threat: an emerging willingness of foreign actors and private citizens, including from allies like the United States, to interfere in, and influence, politics abroad in pursuit of their own agenda.” In other words USA has joined Russia, China, Iran in seeking to subvert our democracy. Time to call them out !!! Perhaps JD Vance could pop in for a chat after his campaign stop in Hungary

Channel 4 News is head and shoulders above the rest of the British media.

Strange comment by Sophy Ridge suggesting that Zack Polanski is the polar opposite on the far left, to Tommy Robinson on the far right The framing is surreal, as if love, kindness and hope is in any way similar to hate and division At least LibDem's Lisa Smart had the integrity to say, "I can't think of anything particularly divisive that would sit him alongside Tommy Robinson" What Polanski has done is show that there are other, better ways of doing things You may not agree with everything he might say, but then why aren't we asked the same question about whether people agree with everything other politicians say? Find the things you have in common and support one another Most of all, work together to protect society from the populist far right who exploit people's frustrations and grievances to divide, and cause harm to society Conservative austerity broke the country and Labour's slightly lesser austerity isn't enough to fix things Our country needs a better direction, and at the very least it can be argued that Zack Polanski is driving that agenda

Israeli govt and military officials have made overt comparisons between its plans for Lebanon and its genocidal destruction of Gaza. The UK govt must act decisively to avoid UK complicity in further crimes and to end the impunity which has enabled and emboldened Israel.
