From a Green pov, this genocide has a massive impact on the environment that is far reaching. You can't be Green and not know the catastrophic effects it is having on pollution, eco systems and toxic pollution. This is aside from the devastating human costs that EVERY party should care about.

I agree but it seems we're arguing should the old get it, should the young get it, people who are richer perceiving they have worked harder and everyone feeling they are being unfairly treated. Equal opportunities, equitable pay, good pensions, decent housing for all is the basics we should demand.

We're fighting for resources between ourselves. There's poor people, there's rich people and a lot depends on the financial value of their labour, their opportunities, a private pension, or the luck of a parent leaving an expensive house. Some hit all; some hit none.

Holborn and St Pancras is looking incredibly close. Thank you to everyone joining us today on the doorsteps - we know it's only by having conversations with voters that we can win this. With just five days to go - we need you!

The interviewers set the questions to Israel and Palestine and not the climate. In the same way, interviewers posed questions to Corbyn about, pushing the button and antisemitism but not plans to sell healthcare to USA, for example. The goal is gotchas and clicks, not information.

There were strikes and that meant better pay and working conditions for the workers, (nowt wrong with that.) Remember, those trades unions (strikers) were the war generation who we're going to be treated like serfs anymore.

God, she was awful. This country is a result of of many years of neoliberal, trickle down nonsense and you don't have to look far to see the results. It's shit. Public services, stagnant wages, degraded infrastructures and inequality on a massive scale causing despair and isolation.

I think: I'm sorry, I fked up, I'm ashamed and thank you and the other artists for helping me understand the implications of my actions - would have worked better and taken a lot less time than a hackneyed version of events.

I watched a programme about the French revolution once (wish I could find it.) Someone was brought in to advise. He suggested taxing the nobility. They couldn't get their heads round it, it was beyond their ken so they fked him off. We saw how that ended.

The global markets require war, climate denial and vast inequality to enable a minority to dominate. That's the structure that we live with. You accept it or you don't. You're suggesting, it is what it is. Ed's saying, it doesn't have to be. If your that clever, be more Ed.

🔎 New report out! Growing up in poverty increases the likelihood of being NEET - not in employment, education or training - as a young adult, and inadequate income holds young people back from returning to earning or learning.

If he doesn't care about Palestine, he'd at least be taking the side of Macklemore and freedom of expression. He considers himself an 'artist' after all, which in the creative industry should trump billionaire business men.

He didn't have to cancel the tour just tell kraft he's sticking to his set and people. Then it's up to kraft. He wouldn't have had to speak out or take sides, his loyalty would have spoken for him and suggested some integrity. But he didn't.

That's up to Kraft too isn't it? If Sheeran wants to do business with Trump/zio supporting sleazy bastards then that was his first mistake. It was Kraft threatened to pull the shows. If Sheeran supported his chosen act, the cancellations and hungry kids, are on Kraft.

The RNLI volunteers coming under fire and being threatened are heroes. They put their own lives in jeopardy to save lives irrespective of race, colour or creed. I am proud to have supported them for over 50 years and will continue to do so. Arrest the masked thugs. Repost your Support for the RNLI

This is surely incitement? There is no other reason for him to publish this. Is this not a police matter? If not, they should sue the bastard and we should go fund.

There's always an agenda. Using democratic protest, unmasked using only her voice is one form of protest. Masked and tooled up in family areas, throwing bins and setting fires is your preferred choice. There's a difference. She was open and brave; you are cowards and bullies.

Paula @speccypaula.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
You're speaking for a party whose supporters don't take their protests to the architects of their concerns but terrorise and set fires in vulnerable communities. She has a right, she goes straight to the top. You think your right entitles you to attack women. Cowards and frauds all of you.

How is it that it is only the reform party who cannot eject a protestor without it turning into a violent, baying mob? Is it something about rfm members? Do they not value British values of free speech? Is it just young women they feel they can hit or would a strapping man get the same treatment?

I don't think magically, I think systematically. I don't understand global economics but I know that we are so far Stepped in over many years. You can see how easy it would be for rogue states to shut us down. Massive change is needed.

I know I'm a bit politically nihilistic this morning. Our country reminds me of Macbeth's, "I am in blood, Stepped in so far....." I don't know about Burnham but there's no white knight for us till we address how stymied and vulnerable global neo liberalism has left us.

I tried to understand them, then gave up on that. A lot of them have waited all their lives to be part of the bully's gang. Even at our most basic, we understand what cruelty is and we choose it or we don't. They will bully any vulnerable target if they can hide behind 10 others. Nasty cowards.

Paula @speccypaula.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
I don't know but they are not comparable and shouldn't be treated or spoken about as such. Marching, banners and disruption is legitimate protest. Terrorising a community, setting fires, attacking vulnerable people is opportunistic hate crime and doesn't deserve the dignity of the title Protest.

Why not, we're living in reality TV world where nothing makes sense. Let's put the law to a popularity vote. I am 110% sure that farage gets a no from me. Our survey says, the tribe has spoken and it's time to sashay away. Farage, you will be leaving the house.
