A left leaning liberal, I suppose. But I like to be informed and will follow and engage with people at every end of any spectrum. Avoider of echo chambers. Oh, and rediscovering my love of art and punk music 🎶🥰

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

The more this goes on, the more evident it is that accumulated #wealth and #money are bullsh*t - a measure of mankind's collective focus of what's important. We have resources to do anything we choose. We live in an era where we all believe wealth & #tech are more important than people and soul

This brings me great pain, but I've been shouting from the rooftops for years: 1) Vote as if everything depends on who appoints the next Supreme Court Justice & 2) If the elections are cooked, we're done. Well, SCOTUS & the GOP have taken over the kitchen. Democracy dies in broad daylight...

This nonsense destroyed the #Tories & it will destroy #Labour. #Politics is truly too occupied with navel gazing, rich idiots on the make for themselves. Only option looming rapidly is #revolution to fill the sensibility gap, lynch these idiots & prove that the economy will endure without their BS!

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did this week.

Labour to improve & speed up patient care as the NHS set to get the Single Patient Record! It is one of the plans in the Health Bill, introduced to the Commons yesterday. The bill will also abolish NHS England, reducing duplication of roles & allowing funds be reinvested in frontline services.

Our Labour government are opening up 13 new bathing sites bringing the total to 460. The new sites cover coastal and inland water, including the first ever on a stretch of the River Thames. It also means the sites will now be rigorously and regularly tested throughout the bathing season. 1/2

Labour announce plans to allow British Steel to be brought into public ownership. In April 2025 their Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act ensured uninterrupted steel production & avoided the sudden closure of blast furnaces, which would have disrupted supply chains & risked 1000s of jobs. 1/4

9 bills from our Labour government have become law this week. Has ANY of the media covered the impact ANY will have on our lives? Or have they just reported on gossip, rumour and speculation? Each and everyone has an important impact but the media will not tell you about them! 1/3

I mean…the level of total dumbfuckery we are enduring boggles the mind. Every good faith aspect of federal law enforcement is dead. DOJ is about revenge and chicanery and nothing else. EVERYONE with access to power is abusing it. The corporations, the oligarchs, the data thieves, the polluters

The media will not be happy until Nigel Farage is PM A change of face in Labour will not stop them. Starmer knows this. He just makes their job extremely tough. He shuts them out. In every sense. And he’s way smarter than them. Always two steps ahead

This is the most disgusting part "Neither the White House nor Donald Trump has commented on the Shreveport killings. There has also been silence around the killings of Cerina Fairfax and Nancy Metayer, who was an official in the president’s home state." F**k Trump.

What is wrong with people? All these politically motivated arson attacks. All wrong. Wrong here against Persian media. Wrong against Jewish ambulances. Wrong against synagogues. Wrong against mosques. Wrong against former homes/cars of the PM. Wrong against buildings with aid for Ukraine.

UK GDP grew 0.5% in February, much higher than people predicted. Expections were in the range from 0% to 0.3%, according to the Guardian earlier this morning. The figure for January has also been revised up, from 0% to 0.1%. Services & production both grew by 0.5%, and construction by 1.0%.

It's pretty clear to those of us who follow politics that the economy is taking baby steps towards growth under this govt. By many, however, the finger of blame will still be pointed at Starmer for any economic effects from Trump's war. Let's keep posting this Warren!

Most of Wes Streeting's donations come from the largest supplier of Private Healthcare workers in the UK. They donate, Wes Streeting hands them more private contracts, they get a percentage from every single person that is hired. That is how it works.

I don't get this argument. Why not just change the criteria to hormone levels and remove sex completely. In this day and age it's a more scientific set of criteria and can accommodate a level for those that want to 'cheat' and be superhuman

The Genocide in Gaza should have been where the world drew the line. The War Criminals from the USA and Israel and their assistants in the Media should have all been put on trial. Then things would never have gotten to this.
