Keir Starmer wanted to be remembered as Prime Minister for building homes. Instead he will be remembered for his complicity in destroying them. #GazaGenocide

12 hours. That's how long the Italian authorities knew about this boat before our crew reached the survivors. 12 hours in which people died. 6 people, including children, are still missing. What happened in that time? 👇

I switched off Radio 4 Today program this morning so frustrated and angry that Reform are given such prominence and so little challenge. Glad I'm not the only one disgusted by this coverage.

Three bug takeaways from this. 1) Reform are not, despite all the media coverage, popular. Enough people are willing to vote tactically to keep out the fascists. 2) in a two horse race, Greens and LDs fare the best against any other party. ... 1/2

Our government should be there to represent the people against corporations, not the other way around. This is an utterly shocking read. I was aware of ISDS - but the scale, the dominance of fossil fuel interests, and the fact that 10 years after TTIP failed, our gov still pushes for ISDS - shocking

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

This is really positive, not just for the Greens, but for the left as a whole. Labour have done little for unions for decades, taking their support for granted. Make Labour compete for Union support halt their perpetual shift to the right.

This is disgusting. The BBC have given far too much air time to Farage over the years - including more appearances on Question Time than anyone other than the hosts. Not to mention refusing to call out Boris Johnson's lies in the run up to 2019 GE. Why do they promote and appease the right?

Quite. If you can lose $100bn without it impacting your life, you could also, say, pay $100bn towards universal healthcare, defending democracy in Ukraine, housing the homeless, or any other cause, without it impacting your life.

Analysis from the Guardian and @tbij.bsky.social has found that Abramovich may owe £1bn in unpaid tax – enough to build over 2200 social homes (more than 3 times the UK's entire gain in social homes last year). And that's just one billionaire. The UK has 165.

A great article from Josiah Mortimer about the way our press and police treat those defending the planet vs those defending inherited wealth. Not so long ago we were handing record breaking prison sentences to people blocking roads. Peaceful protest is not a crime! www.ft.com/content/efa1...

Very sad to hear this is in limbo! I'm sure this would give many young people opportunities to develop their love and understanding of the natural world and prepare them for many future careers. Shame that petty party politics is getting in the way of such an obviously good thing.

Expert after expert has said that lifting the child benefit cap is one of the single biggest measures that this Labour government could do to reduce child poverty. Instead we get this performatively cruel nonsense that does nothing but appease the right who will only demand more nastiness.

There can be no better illustration of how capitalism will kill our planet dead than the way #COP – set up to prevent climate collapse – has been totally hijacked by the very industry driving that collapse. The power of money rules all. 💰
