@labouruk.bsky.social I think you should leverage this. The Tories are just not serious. Liars - just blagging it, to get in and do more VIP lanes.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Burnham’s speech is the best from a British politician in yrs. He’s the first leader with policies that I can truly get behind in over a decade. He actually said everything I wish Starmer had said months ago, as per my article below. The similarities are uncanny!!!🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/12/t...

The brilliant Janet Ellis, President of Humanists UK, on discovering humanism and the global community that comes with it. Find Janet's #HumanistBookshelf recommendations on our website! Link in bio.
‘Humanism is important for me because it puts a name to the beliefs and values that so many non-religious people like me already have. It gives those values a proper place in our society and in our lives. It’s not just me saying ‘I think this’. In fact, I’m part of a community of like-minded people with similar ideas, approaches, and moral convictions. And we’re so much stronger when we come together.’

@natsecsoc.bsky.social I was reading Braverman's speech - forced singing. T'is worthy of more attention. Not only disallowed already, one must wonder why this is even a thing? Probably a lot of mileage covering the part invasive religion is playing in divisive actions of Reform, Tories & Restore.

Rachel describes the cost of social care taking everything from her uncle & aunty, as "a dilemma." Aunty in care - they've paid their savings, and run out of £ next month - next bills will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of their home when Uncle dies. This is how it works now. Pay attention.

UK politics needs a check up from the neck up. Brazen influence,away from the common good. Lords/MPs should not be in a position to take money for influence. All monies going in to politics from vested interest is anti democratic. We should want to have State funded government. Not this crap.

Brexit was an early symptom of the attack on Democracy in UK. Essential to slice us off for easier pickings. Devoid of 599 million Democrats, as we are now. "SOVRINTY" is a stupid fucking trope. The answer does nit matter to cult members. We must resist the cult.
