Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 4hNo. I am questioning why Labour MPs who now profess such moral outrage had so little to say when a peaceful protester was arrested outside their own conference. It was 160 arrested or summoned at their conference. I'm not a Green voter. 150
Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 4hI certainly prefer Burnham to Starmer. While I used to believe Starmer was a decent guy, he pushed through a policy which has led to over 3,500 mostly elderly pensioners being arrested for non violent protect. That's his legacy. What a let down. And what a tragedy. 110
Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 4hMy feed is full of Labour MPs expressing anger tonight. Yet when the daughter of a Holocaust survivor was arrested outside their own party conference for a non-violent protest, silence. Principles mean little if outrage only appears when it is politically convenient. 411025
Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 6h"Canada, EU plan to link next-gen payment systems, easing transactions" Thankfully, Labour ditched Starmer and Reeves, the 'make Brexit work' crew, and with any luck, the UK can get in on this action. 47214

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 14hLeft: The Tories claim they’ll save taxpayers nearly £1bn a year by cutting student loans to “foreign students”. Right: Most international students on Student visas don’t qualify for UK student finance in the first place. So where exactly are these £1bn “savings” coming from? 2118965

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 15hPresident Trump mocks climate change: “The ice caps have gotten bigger instead of smaller. They’ve gotten bigger.” My view: No, they haven’t. Greenland is losing roughly 264 billion tonnes of ice a year and Antarctica around 135 billion tonnes. 2512842

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Wanting Labour to stop arresting 94-year-old peaceful protesters is not “Reform”. It is a basic demand for dignity, civil liberties and proportionality - values Labour should stand for, but currently does not. 0101
