Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky

Don't sell our NHS for a trade deal with Trump

Because obviously the problem is the security breach rather than the fact that the US are planning to bomb a country for the crime of fighting against genocidal maniacs.....

Economic cost of Brexit: £100 billion per year. Saving from benefit cuts 2025-2030: £1 billion per year. You can work out the rest.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

Make Andrew Tate face UK justice NOW

I've been boycotting them since they removed all Palestinian films from their archive. They're morally putrid.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

From Mosley to Farage, the BBC have always played a large role in fostering fascism.

Amazing how it's never things like dropping bombs on civilian populations that these people regard as crimes against humanity.

Yup, minor disagreements and I hope you're right. Though obviously if we were having this discussion on Musk's bin fire of a site we'd be insulting each other's grannies by now 😆

Their vote was lower than the 'disastrous' 2019 GE, several high-profile MPs narrowly held on to their seats etc. By 2029 they'll have pretty much handed our country over to Blackrock, the NHS will be gone, and the MSM will act like none of this would've happened under a Tory/Reform govt.

2/2 Followers of hard/far right parties like the Conservatives and Reform have zero moral qualms on such matters and will unfortunately win. Starmer's permanently destroyed the Labour party and an alternative is needed well in advance of the next general election.

We had 14 years with the Tories but unfortunately we're heading for even worse at the 2029 election. Starmer will lose for the exact same reason Harris did, being the lesser of 2 evils is no longer sustainable when that evil includes genocide and your centrist followers can no longer support you 1/2

Interesting, as less than eight miles away from Glastonbury here in the UK is Wookey Hole, where rocks form the profile of a witch who was said to have once lived there. www.wookey.co.uk/wookey-witch/

I won't be able to pop in tomorrow after all as I forgot I have to dash back home for the Merseyside Derby after getting my hair cut (sorry!), so give me a shout when the tapes are in and I'll be along. I've downloaded the digital copy, so look forward to hearing it in its entirety later.

Any objection to my bypassing Bandcamp altogether by nipping into your Quedam shop tomorrow and buying a copy directly from yourself? I could then invest the saved postage into a digital copy of it, thereby giving ALL proceeds to yourself and cocking a snoop to Royal Mail privatisation vultures.

It's the dangerous con of 'centrism', moving further and further to the right until they lose genuine centrists along with leftists, at which point the ones who don't need centrists, i.e. the unapologetically far right, win. It's happened with Trump in the US, and now we're heading for Farage here.
