This is so important! Now it is blatantly obvious why Europe and the rest of the democratic world need our own social media to stop the spread of divisive rhetoric that comes from the USA.

Starmer not for 'Working People?'
Not unless they buy him tickets to a pop concert.

Smago 15.45 BST

Unite hits back at Starmer over Birmingham bin strike,
questioning Labour's commitment to ‘working people’

The war of words between Keir Starmer and the Unite union is escalating.
After No 10 issued a strong statement criticising its conduct in the
Birmingham bin strike (see 1.32pm), Unite has hit back, questioning Labour’s
commitment to “working people” and saying the government should
intervene directly in the dispute and force the council to settle.

In a statement issued in response to what Downing Street said earlier, Sharon
‘Graham, the Unite general secretary, said:

44 It is not surprising that many workers in Britian question the Labour
government’s commitment to working people when it issues a statement clearly
blaming bin workers in a dispute not of their making.

The bottom line about this dispute is that these workers woke up one morning to
be told they would be taking up to an £8,000 pay cut. They are being made to
pay the price for austerity and bad decisions by Birmingham city council.

Hold the front page, Unite has already agreed major changes, with the removal
of job and knock and shift pay last year and in Unite’s current proposals there
are no equal pay issues. This authority is determined to impose cuts on workers
at any cost and has moved the goalposts again.

Unite’s team of decision makers has been in negotiations in good faith for
weeks. It is the leader of the council who is missing in action and not been in
any of the talks. Indeed the council are only scheduling meetings once a week.
Unite has said it is ready to negotiate anytime and everyday if necessary.

The government is going to have to wake up and smell the coffee that they are
part of this dispute, as the commissioners report directly to them and they own
the £3.9bn debt of the council.

If the government were really concerned about the residents of Birmingham
they would get the decision makers in a room of which they are clearly one, to
ensure that Unite’s solutions on the table were adopted.

Yet again workers and communities pay the price for government inaction.

@pythoneer This is pretty disgraceful behaviour by #UCU, and totally counter productive both in terms of the dispute with #UNITE, and in terms of advice to UCU branches who may be in dispute with their own employers.

We need to do the same with UK companies. There is NO special relationship between the USA and the UK and there never has been.

I have so much respect for Ukraine, they still feel like this after 3 years of fighting an invader. The democratic world needs to support their sovereignty no matter what. They have fought and died so we didn't have to...

"Ukrainians were asked:

What will we do if US completely stops helping us?

82% — FIGHT

10% — surrender
8% — do not know"

Elon Musk is a con man.

The truth about “Space Karen”

PayPal was founded by Max Levchinnot Musk.

Tesla was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenningnot Musk.

SpaceX is successful because of engineer Tom Muellernot Musk.

Elon Musk has never invented anything.

He’s never designed

"The Trump regime accidently leaked its top secret war plans to a journalist at the Atlantic. In the chat the Trumpians trash talk Europe calling it pathetic and worry about the safety of Saudi interests.

They also plot among themselves how much money they should try to extort Europe and Egypt for."

Pete Hegseth if you think we should do it let's go.
Just hate balling Europe out again.
Let's just make sure our messaging is tight here. And there are things we can do upfront to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities we should do it

VP: I fully share your loathing of
VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-bedings PATHETIC,
But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet on our side of the ledgeri who can do this. Nobody ese even close. Question is timing, I feel like now is as good a time as any given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes think we should go but POTUS retaine 24 hours of decision space
As I heard it, the president was clean green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return. We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement. EG Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? if the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return,
