#TheReformParty and #NigelFarage want to abolish the NHS! Like the US, where millions of people go bankrupt & lose their home if they get ill. Multimillionaires like Farage can afford it. Can you? #ReformParty "Reform and Labour separated by 4 votes in Runcorn". www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

Trumps US is no "ally" And we dont want a deal for US crap food either

Lib Dem statement on Trump's tariffs announced this evening 👇

Fuck Pam Bondi. Fuck Trump. Fuck Musk. Fuck their fascism. We the people! Thank you, dear Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett!

Please @bbcradio4.bsky.social don’t parrot Tory rhetoric about their plan to set the country on “a new path” to tackle #climate change. That’s not what they’re doing. Badenoch is trashing the science & setting the country on a course to be poorer and more prone to climate disaster

So, with devastating climate disasters, a world made more unsafe and cruel by Trump and our own country wrecked from 14yrs of Tory failure, Badenoch thinks scrapping Net Zero targets and leaving the ECHR is the answer. She’s nothing more than an idiotic Twitter troll, churning out posts for Musk.

The #measles vaccine has saved an estimated 5 lives every second since 2000. 👉Prevent measles by getting vaccinated with two doses of the measles vaccine.

Trump knew this would happen. He knew Putin would strike. And he simply didn’t give a damn. Using Ukraine’s dead civilians as a tool of extortion is despicable, even for him. #SlavaUkrainii 🇺🇦 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Some good news on a Monday for Scottish nature and wildlife! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Yup.

Absolutely @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Trump's face when Macron says the US should be compensated by Russia, not Ukraine, because they started the war. 😂😂

Europe has designated Macron as their moron whisperer.

"The net zero economy grew by 10% in 2024 and generated £83bn in gross value added (GVA)" A.I. then... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Marks & Spencer says that they’re “celebrating the LGBTQ+ community”, and that “we only work with suppliers who share our values” Yet they continue to support the hate delivered by GB News. Contradictory values = zero values. actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @stopfundinghate.bsky.social

“I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Stephen Fry

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again. Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️

Clean energy contributed 10% to China’s GDP in 2024, analysis shows

This week, Reform had its first stab at new policy since the last election hoping to provide some answers to high energy prices. Reform’s solution to the energy crisis & rising bills is & I’m not kidding - to: add taxes to renewable energy companies & bill payers. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology. The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them as visible to the public as the original lie.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most to use takes cynicism to new heights. If Govt thinks such performative cruelty will see off Reform, they’re wrong - it’s more likely to strengthen it

UN torture tsar attacks UK over ‘inhumane’ indefinite jail terms - The Independent Why has Labour not sorted this out yet? How can the UK criticise authoritarian regimes when this is tolerated?
