Reform is not a Left Wing party, Reform is an even more Right Wing version of the Conservative Party it offers nothing for anyone but the billionaires. If you ever voted Labour you should never vote Reform. Don't buy their empty lies.

Instead of voting for Reform just take a big shit in the toilet, now stick your head in and flush. You have experienced Nigel Farage as PM.

I celebrate the 80% of Germans who did not vote for the far right. Do not make 19.6% of German voters into "the" German people (again). "The" German people don't exist! The German population is diverse and divided, but voted overwhelmingly for liberal democratic parties. #BTW25 #GermanElection

@carladenyer.bsky.social, the immediate need is to understand how government spending works in our fiat currency regime. To understand that austerity and cuts make no economic sense. Then we need to understand the roles of taxation - across the spectrum - and make the tax regime fit for purpose.

Can’t fault you! 😇

Emmanuel Macron denounces Elon Musk's "unacceptable interference" in European democracies by supporting "a new reactionary international". Macron is the 4th European leader in the last 24 hours to speak against Musk, following Olaf Scholz, Keir Starmer & Jonas Gahr Støre. Action must follow words.

Keir Starmer just announced "a new agreement that will expand the relationship between the NHS and the private healthcare sector" NO NO NO Privatisation is BAD news for patients: 🤑£10 million a week wasted on private profits 🤑NHS Trusts still being ripped off by PFI deals

Rochdale’s name has been used and abused by outsiders who treat child rape as a political game - rather than an appalling crime that needs urgent action. www.facebook.com/share/v/15qg...

Yes

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Why is the Labour Leadership so bloody timid!!

These comments by Streeting are disgraceful. The safety of a senior female politician has been put at risk; let alone that she's been grotesquely defamed.

Every single @uklabour.bsky.social MP, the UK PM and every single office of state should come off X and join blue sky. It would send a very powerful message.

Oh dear. That's exactly what Musk wants: for people to take his rants seriously, and discuss them as if he has even an atom of value to contribute to the discussion. Treat him like you would treat dog mess on your shoe: wipe off, move on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Gimme the sledgehammer! 😇

Grammar is important.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims. What he's doing is a travesty.

I agree . It WILL kill them; it IS killing them! They can’t be doing this for RWV because most now know Brexit’s a disaster, I can only conclude that it’s to mollify the RW press. (I absolutely “get” that terms/timescale of future relationship will be set by EU - after disgraceful Tory behaviour).

Correct, print the money, (deficit spend) and get on with it!!

I understand the sentiment behind dry January, but if you don't want to commit to this, I've an alternative. Pub January, where you stop in at your local hostelry, have a drink and support a sector that is in danger of shrinking into obscurity, and with it a large of part of our heritage.

After WW2 despite record debt the UK nationalised Rail, Water, Electricity and Gas, Steel and Shipbuilding. It's what we need now.

2024 was the year the sun set on Rishi Sunak and Conservative rule But not before the former prime minister committed all manner of maladroit debacles and missteps: My first Year-in-Review piece on the Tory cataclysm: www.politics.co.uk/year-in-revi...

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs..” eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/fig...

I am a person, an individual, equal to all. As are you. I am NOT a subject and I will not be subservient to a perversely wealthy family. The monarchy must be abolished.

We desperately need voting reform. Repost if your agree bylinetimes.com/2024/12/10/b...

UBI and Wealth Taxes have role to play, however, taxes don’t fund anything, taxes destroy money, gov created money funds gov expenditure!! The lens of MMT explains this!

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet. #HealthCareForAll
