Blowing apart the sham that the ‘Gender Critical’ movement has anything whatsoever to do with ‘Women’s Rights’. It’s a mainly middle-class fuelled hate movement. You can be a pussy-grabbing, sex offending, anti abortion, brute - but if you hate trans people, YOU ARE IN. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Privatisation's thirst for profit will never be quenched. Time to take our water back. England's water industry controlled by organizations with over 1,100 criminal convictions, 90% foreign-owned. It dumps sewage, fleeces customers. Must end privatisation scam www.bigissue.com/opinion/wate...

It's time to take our water back

Privatised water represents the most unholy of business models – all the while, bills go up, and sewage spews into our rivers and seas.

Can’t stop thinking about Marcus Fakana - stuck in jail in Dubai for a holiday romance. The absolutely horrible decision by the girl’s mother to report him to the police. The sense that racism and classism are at play - if he had been a white middle class boy I suspect things would be different.

There will no doubt be lots of people telling you how much they achieved in 2024, and that's ok. However, for those who need to hear this truth......it's far more than ok if all you achieved in 2024 was making it through it.

The failure of the water industry is a stain on our country. The Government has an opportunity to fix it, but they are choosing to ignore the obvious: profit has no place in water. ⤵️ 1/2

What a shameful day. Starmer came to power pledging to restore trust in politics - this is destroying trust & wrecking lives. A massive injustice was done to #Waspiwomen - it’s a political choice not to remedy it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Laila Soueif is marking the ground outside the Foreign Office for each day her son Alaa Abd El-Fattah is held in Egyptian prison beyond the end of his 5-year sentence. This week over 100 MPs wrote to David Lammy to urge him to use his influence to secure Alaa's release. [1/5]

Ellie Chowns with Laila Soueif, mother of Alaa Abd El-Fattah. Ellie is holding a sign with a photo of Alaa and his child. Laila is holding a sign that reads 'FREE ALAA'. On the pavement in front of Ellie and Laila are the chalk tally marks that Laila is making to remind the Government of every day that Alaa is held in prison in Egypt beyond the end of his 5-year sentence.

Elon is now the richest person who has ever lived, even more than plutocrats who have plundered entire countries or the leaders of immense empires. This level of obscene wealth should not be tolerated.

If we’d been shown this headline in 2016, we may have struggled to believe such a mess could be possible. But here we are, 8 years on, being asked to consider concessions on fish and opportunities for young people. And the inescapable crappiness and tedium of it all is.. well.. just so very sad.

The i front page:

EU tells Starmer: your Brexit reset is doomed without a better offer on fish and under-30s

» European diplomats warn Keir Starmer that he still needs to make major concessions to the
EU if he wants new deals on trade and security - with Brussels prepared to drive a hard bargain
»Leaked negotiating documents show that the EU is demanding a new fishing agreement as a precondition to the start of any talks, plus easier migration for under 30s between the two sides
» Brussels wants to make the UK adopt the bloc's laws in exchange for getting a veterinary agreement which would boost British farming and food trade, a key plank of Starmer's strategy
» European diplomatic sources say most EU nations are happy with the status quo - and claim they are becoming exasperated by the UK making demands without offering concessions

There are no specific disability-related discounts on energy bills which considering that life with a disability costs an extra £1010 a month than non disabled people, is a national disgrace. There must be an energy social tariff, or people WILL die this winter. That is an undeniable FACT.

World GDP is $105 trillion. Value of derivatives (clever bets on price of food, everything) is $667 trillion. It hikes prices, enriches few speculators, produces nothing of value to society. UK Govt thinks finance industry will deliver prosperity. Madness. leftfootforward.org/2024/12/the-...

leftfootforward.org

The government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industry

Such a strategy was tried in 1970s and came to grief in the mid-1970s secondary banking crash.
