💔🌊 Two women drowned in the Channel. 2.5k people laughed. 🤯 The same ones who screamed “All Lives Matter” now mock lives they never valued. This is the racism & cruelty being normalised. ⚠️ We can’t let hate win. ✊🏽 #Humanity #EndRacism #NoToHate #AllLivesMatterWasALie #FightTheFarRight

"Brian, due to your factual social media post in 2012, we can't risk the @labouruk.bsky.social reputation, selecting you as a candidate" "Don't worry about the security concerns #PeterMandelson, here's a top job" So glad I left #Starmers Party. #Hypocrisy

So #Pal_action that organised the attempt to shut down Elbit Systems sites that arm the Israeli military & continue to highlight the complicity between the #Government and the genocidal Israeli state, is now proscribed as a terrorist group? #WeAreAllPalestineAction

The Government's proposed #cuts to #disability benefits, threaten to push 290k people in #yorkshire into deeper poverty, losing up to £5,700 annually We need local campaigns now, so the voices of those that these cuts affects, are heard. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk #WelfareCuts #TaxTheRich

They weren't just carrying aid, they were also carrying hope and the humanity many of us share for the people suffering genocide. #BreakIsraelsSiege #EndTheBlockade #Madleen #FreedomFlotilla #Volunteers #IOF #StandWithGaza #StandWithPalestine

#ReformUK gains ground due to disillusionment with mainstream politics, but they are not the answer. We need community-led change by those who want to represent the people, not the elite. by creating citizens’ assemblies as a start. #Grassroots #PoliticalChange

One of my heroes #TonyBenn predicted this about @labouruk.bsky.social in 1982 - such a shame it came true and his son is part of it. This is why a new movement is necessary to silence the far-right and make those at the top accountable. #WealthTaxNow #unity #socialism

I'm proud to launch the #AegistheUnion Neurodiversity Campaign, one that is vital for all workplaces across the country and also one personal to me, as my son with #Autism looks to enter the working world. Please share 📷 #neurodiversity @tuc.org.uk @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

The proposed #welfare cuts will mean that potentially between 800k & 1.2m people will lose between £4k to £6k - vulnerable people already impacted by #austerity. A 2% tax on wealth over £10m (0.4% of Britain's population) would raise £22bn. Which one seems fairer? #WealthTaxNow

Happy #IWD2025, especially to my wife. Today, she's shown strength, resilience, and dedication, working over 12 hours as a Paramedic, but she faces a bigger challenge every day - putting up with me 😁 Together, we fight for a world where all women are valued and supported ✊️. #solidarity

Brian A McDaid @brianamcdaid.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

💔 In Yorkshire & Humber, over 1.5m people rely on some form of welfare support. 💔 With the proposed cuts, an estimated £2.4b will be cut from essential support programs. 💔This could result in up to 200,000 households losing vital support. We must fight for a welfare system that supports everyone.

Brian A McDaid @brianamcdaid.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

£13.4b can be found down the back of the Government's sofa to spend on the military, but no money can be found for: ❌Keeping our Pensioners warm. ❌Lifting children out of poverty. ❌Helping the disabled in our society. ❌Compensate the WASPI women. The poor always suffer, for the benefit of war.

The DWP says just 0.2% of personal independence payment (PIP) spending is due to fraud. Once again the disabled community will face the scythe of Austerity, whilst the poor hard done by non-dom community will be spared.

Visting #auschwitzbirkenau will always stay with me, a place that reminds us of how evil humanity can be. #holocaustmemorial is a time to remember the 6m Jewish lives lost, alongside LGBT+, Roma, disabled, socialists & others murdered by the Nazis ensuring we never repeat anything similar again.

The number of billionaires exploded from 15 in 1990 to 177. In the 70's the wage differential between the highest earner & the lowest was 32 times the salary, today it's over 200. A wealth tax is the way forward. Eg. a 2% tax increase on those with assets over £10m, could raise £22bn per year.

Brian A McDaid @brianamcdaid.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

The mainstream media are reporting "Palestinians are celebrating" They're not celebrating, they are relieved. Much more is needed to provide stability. Also, those who supported & justified war crimes, & crimes against humanity need to be accountable for their part, including our own Government.

Brian A McDaid @brianamcdaid.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

@nickcohen.bsky.social Now we are needed? After many good Socialists were treated abhorrently by @labouruk.bsky.social and were told by Keir Starmer that the door was open for those who didn't like HIS Party. We'll keep fighting from the outside if you don't mind 👍

A picture that is posted many, many times, but succinctly sums up what is happening to our society just now. Blame those above you, not those around you.

After losing a good friend this week, who finally succumbed to his battle with his mental health and whilst most of us are consumed by the chaos of Christmas, it's crucial we remember those who need support at this time of year 😊👍 #mentalhealth #support

Despite promising to compensate the #WASPI, #LabourParty. The party’s failure to deliver on their commitment is a betrayal of women who have been unjustly impacted by pension age increases. WASPI women deserve justice, not empty promises. ✊💜
