The one political leader in the country opposed to the mass murder of children is the guy who has to apologise for inciting violence? Not the ones regularly instigating violence against Black and brown people leading to regular racist street riots but the guy who accidently reposted something silly.

Andy Burnham praising care workers, including those from other parts of the world. Unfortunately, that's a bit incongruous with his Home Secretary ripping up the rights of current and future care workers who come to the UK to look after our people

Just your regular reminder that the words “twelve plus one” are an anagram of the words “eleven plus two”. Spooky!

A universal benefit means people don't have to jump through hoops & aren't humiliated by means testing. It fosters the idea that we all have a stake in society & the cost can be clawed back from the rich through progressive taxation. We need more universalism, not less #GMB

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

Iran came all the way to the UK to burn 4 empty ambulances in a pointless attack that could be used as propaganda by Israel. They think you are stupid enough to believe that.

The UK govt didn't condemn the US's illegal & unprovoked attack, they haven't called on the US to stop, they're helping the US & they won't criticise the US targeting civilian infrastructure. Govt minister this morning: "its the Iranians that have escalated the conflict"

Did #bbclaurak speak in these emotive terms about Palestinians in body bags? Did she ask the Israeli president (who was also on the program this morning) about footage & images she's seen from Gaza & ask how on earth he justifies that? Of course she didn't.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social on Starmer: "He knew full well of Mandelsons involvement with Epstein from the beginning" JC also points out when he challenged the role of Epstein back in 2019 politicians & the press were more concerned about his pronounciation than what he was accusing Epstein of doing

In a democracy things would happen because the majority of people want them to happen. What we have is a Plutocracy a worldwide Government of the wealthy where things only happen because it makes them richer What pretend voting system they stick on top of it makes no difference

In the sixth largest economy, millions of Britons rely on food banks. No curbs on profiteering. Energy prices up 44% since 2021-22. Thousands of people can't afford heating, rely on community ‘warm spaces’. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts appease the rich.

Why do I get the feeling it’s going to be @zackpolanski.bsky.social against all the others? As a resident of Dover I’m dismayed to see a “Labour” MP who is a tribute act for the now defunct England Defence League.

The system of checks & balances has utterly failed. The people have to unite around shared class and work together to save themselves. Things will keep getting worse until there is large scale disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the criminals in power are out.

UK govt can save over £20bn a year by ending payment of interest on commercial banks’ central bank reserves. Subsidy implemented after the 2007-08 crash. Banks are very profitable. Since 2023, the EU stopped paying interest on central bank reserves. UK can find better uses of £20bn+.
