Absolute chaos. NHK reports Japan was terrified of Trump's erratic mixed messages on Iran. Trump demanded military help in the Strait of Hormuz, but Japan firmly pushed back citing their pacifist constitution. The Trump administration's reckless war is isolating allies.

Capitalism in its current form is completely broken. We need an immediate update to stop the endless cycle of extreme inequality, oligarchy, and environmental destruction. It’s not an easy task, but the planet simply cannot survive this level of unchecked greed

That’s two Middle East security agreements hashed out by Zelensky in as many days. The man is fighting half the world & still has time to help others. He was born for this. (UAE)

⚡️ Ukraine, Saudi Arabia sign major defense deal amid ongoing Iran war. Ukraine is offering its expertise and technology to bolster Saudi air defenses, while strengthening its role as a security donor, the Presidential Office said. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-saudi-…

This👇has always been the real problem for alliances under Trump: He won’t withdraw; they’ll continue to legally exist. But Trump just won’t act on them. He’ll ignore treaty commitments or make up some excuse not to honor them

⚡️ 🇺🇦 Here’s something that will actually help rebuild Ukraine: in just the first 3 months of 2026 🇺🇦 has opened 14 new food #ExportMarkets, bringing the total to❗89 new destinations since 🇷🇺 full-scale invasion. The map is shifting fast: more Asia, more Africa, less reliance on any single buyer. Poultry, eggs, honey, grains & sugar are leading the charge. Agro-exports hit $22.6B last year, accounting for❗56% of 🇺🇦 total exports. War has been a brutal but strangely effective driver - partners are opening doors quicker, trusting Ukraine’s solid food safety standards. #UkraineExports #FoodPower" Photo: @theUBN

Western media finally admits the truth. Sky News military analyst calls out Israel's operation in Lebanon for what it really is: an illegal invasion. They are destroying bridges and planning to illegally occupy sovereign land permanently. The world is watching.

I’m off to the London March against the Far Right today. Hoping for a really good turn out. It’ll be nice to feel heard. And seen!!! If you see me - say hello!!

🚀 European missile company MBDA is scaling up production of Aster missiles to SAMP-T air defense systems, Storm Shadow cruise missiles and Meteor air-to-air missiles by 40% in 2026, according to the company's official website.

Renewables back over 30 GW right now, that's the forth time this year. We never hit 30 GW before this year #NetZero. What was considered extraordinary is now commonplace

Top journalist Susan Glasser drops a massive reality check. Trump launched a hasty, ill-considered war for Israel and is now bored with it. The administration completely failed to anticipate Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and has absolutely no plan to reopen it.

If they will buy that many, the RN should be allowed to order 13 in total. 18 ships of the same class would bring costs down significantly.

A year ago today, my Private Members’ Water Bill was debated in Parliament. I set out plainly why public ownership is the only way to fix our broken water system. Because privatisation is an outrage. It is an outrage that companies like BlackRock have siphoned off billions from our water system while our rivers have become open sewers. That infrastructure built with public money is crumbling. That entire towns are left without water for days. That people are getting sick - some even dying - from water regulators told us was safe. It is an affront to every value that we claim to stand for as a nation to have let our most precious and fundamental resource become a vehicle for profit extraction. The founding principle of the NHS still holds: some things should be run for need, not profit. Water is one of them. Public ownership delivers cleaner, fairer and cheaper water. That is not just me saying that, it’s the experts. We have the solution; what we’re missing is political will. My Bill didn’t pass. But with the support of tens of thousands of you, we’ve built on it. It’s going to take everything we’ve got to kick the profiteers out of our water.

Marine gas oil up 190% in the past month. In US diesel is up to $160 and jet fuel to $174 per barrel. The world’s transport and supply systems will become inflationary and unaffordable for many. No quick fix to the Hormuz blockade.

🇪🇺 Europeans may soon live and work in Australia visa-free (and vice versa)! The new free trade deal also includes raw materials

An observation: Incredible that the USA can have the very best & the very worst leaders at the same time.

Massive geopolitical shift. Gulf nations completely refuse to retaliate against Iran despite taking heavy damage. They are furious at Washington, admitting US & Israel started this disastrous war without even consulting them. US military bases are now seen as a massive liability

When Farm Tax was introduced, the assumption was that global markets would always be there to feed us. ❌ That assumption no longer holds. With an Iran-driven energy shock building and fertiliser, fuel and food costs rising the risks are obvious. At the same time, Brexit has weakened domestic supply, and IHT uncertainty is already hitting investment in food production. We’re more exposed than ever and our food resilience simply isn’t fit for purpose. 💣 We designed the system for a stable world. Many of us warned that was foolhardy, history warned us but govt didn’t listen. We’re now living in an increasingly volatile one and we have no preparedness.

The Tories spent 14 years proving that infighting and leadership drama only ends one way – defeat. It is time to stay united, deliver, and prove that Labour is different.
