Your bills are going up because this government would rather protect the profits of a few corporations than the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people. End this outrageous rip-off, and take water and energy into public ownership now.

It has been more than a month since we pointed out that the government was contradicting itself over its denial of genocide in Gaza. We have still not received a response. We know why: the government wants to hide its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

💯Steve Coogan gets it ! English water companies work for a handful of shareholders around the world, while pouring sewage into our rivers and seas. 💦 Water should be in public ownership. 💩Find out how much your water company has profited from pollution: weownit.org.uk/privatisatio...

you are either the part of workers or the party of those who exploit workers. you can't be both. conservatives serve the exploiters and labour serve... the exploiters.

Don't think single people get enough credit for doing life alone. Rent/mortgage is double, household responsibility and life admin is down to one person, you're your own emotional support, holidays are more expensive, you've to trap and transport human sacrifices for the solstice bonfire solo, etc.

"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK" Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Me last night: Maybe this week’s column was a bit harsh on Labour. Perhaps they’ll start to see disability benefits in a more nuanced way and respect the people relying on them. Labour this morning:

This week I was told IT errors lead to a #DNR on my medical records for over 12months the same week our government used the #disabled & their economical inactivity to show how big Starmers balls were in the week the #AssistedDying bill was shown to be a rushed mess God help us

How many consultations does it need to take before they start treating disabled people right and fairly? Before they stop violating our human rights and stop treating us like lazy fraudsters? How many more deaths before we’re listened to? EAT THE RICH, stop picking at our poor bones for scraps.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Sometimes I wonder what motivates non-coffee drinkers to get out of bed. Probably some sort of pulley system.

Strike a power pose, it's Monday. #MondayMotivation
A bright, confident Robin stands atop a log, its chest puffed out in full display of its orange-red breast. The bird tilts its head slightly upwards, as if preparing to take on the world with determination. Its slender legs are planted firmly, giving it the appearance of striking a victorious power pose. The surrounding mossy log and blurred green background provide a natural stage, emphasising the robin’s bold stance.
