So much for the monarchys green credentials. Hit air and smoke screens - precisely what we don't need.

Private Landlords are charging £1,400 a month more for comparable housing in London than Councils are charging, and £700 a month in rest of England. And the Councils are still making a profit from their much reduced rent. This is how much you are being ripped off.

I just learnt that over £100,000 of NHS funds have been wasted on defending bullying instead of paying frontline staff fairly. Sign the petition to demand that Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust investigate how their CEO, Kevin McNamara, treats NHS staff. www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

We seem to say it every day in a million different ways, so here it is simply. antisemitism - racism (bad) antizionism - anti imperialism and apartheid (good)

King Charles has invited Donald Trump to Scotland. I have a better suggestion. No King Charles and no visit from Donald Trump.

In seeking to justify sending ICE into schools and churches, JD Vance declares “If you have a person who is convicted of a violent crime, you have to go and get that person to protect the public safety”. Unless, it seems, that crime they were convicted of happened on January 6th 2021

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Over 550 members of the Labour Party feast themselves at the expense of the genocidal Zionists? Particularly Starmer, the worst of them all. No way will they ever have my vote while this genocide-enabler is in charge.

The lesson was the same in 2011 as in 1926: that if the unions work together with a unified aim, they can win. They lose when they allow the government to divide them. Add 1984-85 into this as well.

Last year private firms made £45 billion profit from the UK domestic energy system. If that money had been kept in public hands, it could have been used to save each household £1,800 on their energy bills. (Info from Unite Community 2024 Conference). Privatisation doesn't work for us or at all.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

A brilliant result, and tribute both to the leadership of the union and to the many reps who worked tirelessly on the Check Off campaign. The Tories tried to crush the union and failed. Where are they now?!?

Charles the dodgy landlord, Charles the environmental hypocrite. Dozens of rental homes in Sandringham below legal energy standards. Windows rotting, tenants feeling the cold, while Charles flits about by helicopter between a dozen palatial homes. #AbolishTheMonarchy www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

King owns dozens of rental homes that don't meet vital minimum energy standards
After examining Energy Performance Certificates for scores on the West Norfolk estate, we have found more than 30 properties owned by the King fail to meet minimum requirements

Always had an interest in football, but no team in particular. Then in 1985 I moved to a flat in Holmesdale Road and discovered a new love! Lived in Somerset now for almost 30 years, but that love has never died. Been bashed a bit, though!

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
