Melanie Stansbury: “While this Administration is spending nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has now claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members & doing the bidding of billionaires — Americans are struggling to put food on the table & a roof over their heads”
This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.
Reform must *never* get hold of power. Never.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Following the Iraq war we had the Chilcot Inquiry, Starmer has followed his recommendations. Strangely the right wing press used it to attack Blair www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS
And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
Of course every environmentalist is anti-war!
What could be worse than the slaughter
of so many species, both by & of humans,
the wanton destruction of natural habitats,
the spewing of millions of tons of
noxious greenhouse gases
into the atmosphere
"Horrific"

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
If things get really desperate for the Iranians they will probably target all the desalination plants around the Gulf. Could be a very big problem!
Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽

@stellacreasy.bsky.social: "When we ask ourselves what is holding Britain back from being more productive, it is not immigrants or women who don’t have enough babies – whatever the claims of the right. Instead, tackling the cost of living crisis and confronting division should be our priorities."
So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
Let’s talk about the ‘light casualties’ with their family members in the room, you insensitive POS.
We all know that there’ll always be casualties, but let’s not be so flippant when discussing them. ESPECIALLY when they can’t even explain why we’re in this fucking war in the first place 🖕🏽
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
Saying goodbye to the bird-legged hoe.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
My statement on Secretary Noem's firing:
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
