No one defends white settlers more than other white settlers... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Starmer is prevaricating just long enough for thousands more Palestinian babies to be murdered… from starvation!

This is not a U-turn. It’s the UK’s most notorious liar saying “we’ll look at it in October.” Classic Starmer spin — delay, deflect, pretend. They’ve done this to calm a Labour rebellion on benefits cuts and dodge criticism on fuel payments for a while Don’t fall for this. Again.

Populism is a con. Trump convinced ordinary people he was on their side — now he's making his ultra-rich mates even richer. Farage is running the same con here. He’s not fighting for you. He’s selling you out. Beware. via @rutgerbregman.com

📉 Brexit keeps costing Britain millions...

Labour just get worse EVERY day. Now Reeves is thinking about getting rid of the firewall between a bank's consumer business and its investment one. The lack of one was a big cause of the 2008 Great Crash. Removing the firewall would be madness.

UK govt to seek disqualification of benefit claimants from driving for alleged fraud or failure to return overpayments by DWP. What if people don't have the money? Loss of licence means can't work, have family life. Same won't apply to tax dodgers, thieves. scammers, money launders. Class war.

It’s all up for grabs. Tories and Labour are collapsing. We can’t let the Lib Dems be the winners of this. Join the Greens, #backzack for leader and give people an active Left choice.

Labour have backed down! No not over cuts to benefits for pensioners and the disabled but their plan to cut the tax free savings limit for people with £20,000 to save EVERY year after pressure form the banks. Dump Labour, join the Greens. Article (£): t.co/Fb4oI7uXqI

There is much going on in the world that is distressing and shocking. Yet this story kicked me in the head. Totally unbelievable this is happening in the UK. The assumption that a woman who miscarried may have committed a crime is next level Handmaid's Tale. Stop it now!

Pippa is not a reporter but a propaganda outlet for Labour. She forgets to add to her post "by 2040". This deal will add £9bn by 2040, ie in 15 years time. Also £9 billion is approximately 0.32% of the UK’s 2024 GDP (£2,851 billion), ie barely nothing.

Can anyone tell me why this shouldn't be described as economic fascism?

Sky News reporting on Labour’s EU mobility plan. Then following up with what the Tories and Reform think about it. What about the Greens, the Lib Dems, the SNP, Plaid and Northern Ireland parties? What do they think? The media are forcing Reform on the country. #BrokenMedia

Explains why everything thing is crap…

The BBC took 21 days to sack Jeremy Clarkson after he physically attacked a producer. Gary Lineker has left less than a week after criticising a genocide. Reminder: we're legally forced to pay for the BBC www.thetimes.com/uk/media/art...

In the coverage on the BBC, Sky and LBC of the planned ethnic cleansing of 1 million Palestinians from Gaza, the absence of the presenters shock, horror or disgust speaks volumes. Compare that to clear outrage they have to the smallest number of casualties in Ukraine. If that isn't racism, what is?

I'd like to tweet a clip of BBC London reporting on 500,000 people marching through the city in support of Palestine, but they didn't cover it. They did, however, have time to tell us that Camden council have approved new cycle lanes on Shaftsbury Avenue.

Have you seen this on the news? Now think: how many times this week have you heard about migrants… and how many times you’ve heard about the NHS? No wonder people are angry at migrants — and silent about the real crises. via @leftiestats.bsky.social #BrokenMedia

Reform is a Limited Company Farage owns 53% It was formed in 2019 to push for a “no-deal Brexit” It wants to reintroduce the Liz Truss budget It wants to privatise the NHS & invest in fossil fuels Close the BBC & break International law It’s a scam Please retweet widely

What is it with this country’s politicians and national destruction? Brexit wrecked the economy. Johnson let COVID rip. Truss blew up the markets. Now Labour want to finish the job. Same cycle. New culprits. Still no future. We need better politicians not new scapegoats.

How many more clear examples is it going to take? The Labour Party is done. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The IDF released a video following its bombing of the European hospital to show it was targeting 'underground terrorist infrastructure'. They'd literally drawn on the 'underground terrorist infrastructure' onto a picture of the hospital. Only problem? It wasn't even the hospital

Farage lied about Brexit and wrecked the economy. Now he’s back with a plan that makes Truss look competent and could finish off what’s left. The media let him get away with it once. Don’t let people fall for it again. Call out the media when they let him lie. #BrokenMedia

Brexit had one job: stop migration. Instead, it caused illegal migration to go up — and trashed the economy along the way. Total failure. And the man who sold it? Nigel Farage.

Labour said they’d fix the NHS after Tory damage. Another lie. They’re not here to save it — they’re here to finish it off. The cuts are back. The destruction continues.

Mission accomplished - he's headlining all the newspapers with 'island of strangers' rhetoric compared to 'rivers of blood.' Now Farage will have to ramp it up...

An male American Redstart singing away. The long feathers around the beak are called "rictal bristles" and are thought to help the bird catch insects midair.

I don't know what's worse: that Starmer intentionally chose to mimic Enoch Powell, or that he's taken Labour so far to the right that he's repeating fascist rhetoric by accident.

Voters across the political spectrum want to "take back control" with public ownership 👇👇👇 It would bring down bills and improve how the country works Where is the focus, where is the airtime on this incredibly popular policy that would make our lives better? 💧⚡️📮🚌🚄🏥

They would rather you or your family members and friends suffer and die than have a sensible migration policy. Labour think this country needs Reform policies with a red rosette stuck on them. We don’t. We want sensible solutions to the problems we face not this nonsense.
