Me for @sussexbylines.co.uk on why we need to move away from US-owned digital platforms and reclaim our feeds

We see where Apple stands.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Fowl Play: How US Chicken Imports will Pollute Britain's Poor Since joining the EU British food has gone from bog-awful to top-notch, but Otto English reveals how a US Trade deal will unravel 40 years of progress.

Your fact of the day:

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

Trump administration races to fix a big mistake: DOGE fired too many people Across the government, the administration is rehiring federal workers who were forced out or encouraged to resign.

"Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many employees dismissed by DOGE initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process..."

UK child poverty taskforce set to recommend return of Sure Start scheme Despite praise for Sure Start from some in the Labour party, there are also concerns that resuming the service would be difficult and costly

Sure Start was a huge success in the years it ran, raising so many children out of poverty and giving families support when they most needed it. I hope the government listens to these recommendations, whatever the cost, and helps a new generation benefit

Sounds like a plan

In Parliament this week, I called for the planned cuts to disability benefits to be scrapped.

We should not be balancing the books on the backs of the poorest. Instead, we should be taxing the wealthiest.

If the Government does not drop its plans, I'll be voting against the cuts.

Care work is a migration route that is desperately needed, has helped at least stem the sector's recruitment crisis, has a knock-on effect on A&E/ambulance wait times, and isn't particularly unpopular voters.

yeah let's hammer it

For anyone who visits care homes regularly, you will know how much of a disaster this is

No trade deal can ever make up for losing our place in the EU single market - which is much more than a trade deal, it is a border free market of almost half a billion people, on our doorstep.

Transphobes in parliament square holding grim signs saying that women are at risk from immigrants / foreign nationals.

Sunday Times op-ed by transphobe Kathleen Stock wanging on about ethnicity being a crucial driver of grooming.

Scratch a transphobe, a racist bleeds.

‘Spiral of silence’: climate action is very popular, so why don’t people realise it? Researchers find 89% of people around the world want more to be done, but mistakenly assume their peers do not

89% of the world's population want stronger measures on climate change, but believe they're in the minority. This extends to 62% of REFORM VOTERS.
So where does this rhetoric of climate action being 'woke nonsense' come from? (*cough*Oil companies*cough*). www.theguardian.com/environment/...
