Labour just don't get it. They don't get how scared people are with extreme weather becoming our new normal. We need voices in parliament that will force them to take wildfires seriously, not quietly shirk responsibility.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Its not just renters who lose out.. its taxpayers too. Over the next year, more than a third of the money the DWP will spend on housing benefit will go straight into the pocket of private landlords, subsidising their extortionate rents"

The ecology plan for Bridgend's new AI data centre promises warm amber lighting beside irreplaceable ancient woodland because light-sensitive bats won't cross cold white light. Meanwhile, the security spec says cold white light is necessary. It also says that security matters take precedence.

Adidas -literally created by a nazi, clearly still run by nazis... They just ran an ad featuring a nazi who lost his leg killing Palestinians in Gaza, framing him as some kind of hero. Not the brand's 1st offense either. DON'T BUY ADIDAS. Give your $$ to other brands (who aren't nazi sympathizers).

We refuse to pay for more sewage in our rivers, hosepipe bans, service cuts, dividends and bonuses Andy Burnham must say no to any bill hike. IF private water companies can't survive without it, let them go bust 82% of us want public ownership of water. We've had enough of privatisation
"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”

This is an outrageous failure from Andy Burnham and this Labour Government. He says they "don't know the remedy." It's obvious to almost anyone. Nationalise water companies. Tax fossil fuel companies. Invest in renewables. Labour selling us down the river to please their donors as country burns.

When we are told not to speak ill of the dead, it is the continuation of the whitewashing - turning the cruel into the eccentric or the avuncular - allowing their cruelty to go unspoken of for the purpose of “manners” that they didn’t demonstrate in their lives as they happily dehumanised

That list of “10 big ideas for Burnham” that is getting reshared a lot does not include a single one about making people happier or their lives easier. So much wonk stuff is about ‘growth’ and ‘innovation’ with absolutely no mention of human happiness.
