Never voted Tory. Hate what the right wing (including the press!) have done to this country. Proud to be woke! Would like to see a fairer, kinder world! #RejoinEUFB #GTTO #FBPE 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: ICE smashed someone’s windows, yanked them out, and then arrested the United States citizen who filmed it. That’s not “immigration enforcement.” This government is out here punishing witnesses. Fascism is HERE.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Despite continued membership in the ECHR, the Labour government has successfully deported over 24,000 individuals. This directly disproves the Badenoch's claim that the ECHR prevented deportations - yet another example of Tories' blatant shystering. #ukpolitics

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

The Tories pandered to the far-right, and look where it has got them. Starmer is making the same error. Brexit is doing far more economic damage than Trump's tariffs. We need a big rejoiner vote in the local elections to show Starmer that his support for Brexit is a vote loser. Vote LibDem & Green

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
