Carney never fails to impress. He is gracious on every occasion but can be solid as a rock when needs be. One of two outstanding statesmen of our time, the other being Alexander Stubb of Finland.
The Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi didn’t have to walk Mark Carney around the room like a geriatric patient (like that 🇺🇸🍊🤡).

Privatisation and austerity policies are still killing us (literally) today. Yet the Govt still bangs on about growth. How can we grow our economy when so many are sick and do many are dying before their time?

😂 That’s fine. Making generalisations (even correct ones) is likely to irk a few old codgers like me.
This is the news I wanted to hear! The most popular party of people under 65 is the #GreenParty 💚
I'd love to know what it is for 65 & older - the generation that STILL buys newspapers.
Any guesses? 🙄🙄
How dare you!! I’m over 65 and haven’t bought a newspaper for decades. And I’m a member of the Greens. Please revise your inaccurate prejudices!!😉
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...
McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

This innocent little girl was killed by our bomb, with our money, in our name, without our permission. Shame on the United States. We have become a stain on the planet.
I’m sure the feeling is mutual.
Funny that. I didn’t have Trump down as an FDR either.
First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

That’s another good reason.
As the #UK is the 6th richest country in the world, just how is homelessness even a thing??
Oh sorry, I forgot - all the millionaires, billionaires & the fatcat bosses have it all.
Silly me! 🙄
Proof that #Labour, just like the #Tories genuinely doesn't give a fuck.
Absolutely superb. Really worth watching. Thanks for sharing.
This is what's happening.
After the Gordon and Denton by election, the Sky News/ YouGov polling has the Greens leapfrogging Labour to second place.
Just one poll, but I can't remember many other polls in the UK with neither Tories nor Labour in the top two positions.
Seems like voting Green is no longer thought of as a wasted vote. They are serious contenders now.
She’s absolutely right. But wouldn’t it be better to make all U.K. passport holders liable to U.K. tax no matter where they live? Tax dodging by living in a tax haven would become a thing of the past.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Its absolutely outrageous that they can be at the negotiating table & then our PM puts out a statement that actually condemns Iran for a retaliatory attack as opposed to Israel & America that started the bombing in the first place"🎯
Your views seem to be losing popularity as well as credibility. Starmer’s position is indefensible.
In the U.K. bishops sit in the HoL because they are bishops in the CoE. Of course the HoL needs to be abolished and religious influence over our Parliament terminated.
🚨#FirstPastThePost can no longer deliver real mandates -only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped! 🤬
Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented! 😤
Tell Keir Starmer to change this […]
La communauté internationale n’autorise pas la Russie de faire à l’Ukraine ce qu’elle permet à Israël de faire en Palestine. (Cardinal Pizzaballa, patriarche latin de Jérusalem). Quand toute la Palestine aura été conquise et gouvernée par l’état hébreu, les chrétiens seront les prochaines victimes.
The Party no longer aligns itself with the historic traditions of its founders and it has lost sight of its raison d’être. Either it will rediscover its soul very quickly or, I predict, it will die. But the space will be filled by progressive parties that will support policies of Labour voters.
Enough is enough. The House of Lords is a rolling scandal - sign @electoralreform.bsky.social's call to demand change. It takes 30 seconds.
