Slashing aid isn’t just cruel—it’s reckless. From active conflict zones to developing nations, these cuts weaken peacebuilding and hand influence to Russia and China. Security means tackling cyber threats, pandemics, and the climate crisis, not just spending on bombs and guns.

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...

Trump announces US withdrawal from World Health Organization. Blames WHO for mishandling COVID-19 pandemic. US had 1.2m deaths, due to poverty, inequalities and a healthcare system that favours profits over people. Chance of co-ordinated approach to next pandemic? edition.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

Give me a single reason why King Charles deserves £22bn, and to get £500m more a year from the British taxpayers who actually work for their money. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

To sue for defamation, Liz Truss has to show "serious harm" (section 1 of the Defamation Act). The more you retweet this the easier it will be for her to show serious harm leaving her nowhere to hide when she doesn't. You know what to do!

Liz Truss is going to be ever-so-cross when she finds out what I've been doing with the free speech she insists on supporting.

Andy Burnham, "I have called for a major program of council house building, different to social housing" "If you allow councils to build homes that people can truly afford, that gives them more control over the housing situation in their areas" Well said @andyburnham.bsky.social 👏

Come on Labour, cut your ties to Twitter. Delete all your accounts and instruct all government departments to do the same. You should not be supporting a hate filled divisive site like that.

The astonishing cognitive dissonance of a health secretary who insists he'll save the NHS - yet kicks the social care crisis into touch until 2028. 1 in 8 medically fit NHS patients cannot leave hospital for lack of social care. Of course A&E is overwhelmed 🤷‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Happy Sunday lovely phone family. We've had a smattering of snow here ❄️ Anyone else? The gap between the poorest and richest in society has become a huge chasm. I hope future generations change this for the better, but for now we have to stand together ❤️ Have a great day 😘 #HaveCourageAndBeKind 🥰

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

"There is no solution to the crisis in the NHS that doesn’t include a solution for social care." Dismayed to see Wes Streeting acknowledge this - yet kick the issue into long grass with a commission that won't report until 2028. What hope for the NHS now? What hope for those needing care now?

Want a new year's resolution? Leave X and move full-time to BlueSky. Repost if you're in! 🦋

This year lets get rid of the billionaires.

😂😂😂😂😂

The UK 😥

It doesn't matter how desperately Farage tries to play the country gent, he merely manages an aging extra from Peaky Blinders.

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage. Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco) He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax. Patriotic? Anti-Establishment? It's a con.

When mathematicians try to cook...

Paul Bassett Davies nails it. @thewritertype.bsky.social

One word…’Brexit’. 🤷‍♂️ www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/easy-w...

Can we share the famous red bus & ask Ms Mone where is our 29 Billion 🤔 #IndyClan ⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2024: Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves ask for ideas for growth because 'make brexit work' isn't working 2018: Keir Starmer explains how the UK should be in a Customs Union and inside the EU Single Market Perhaps 2024 Starmer could chat with 2018 Starmer, and pick up an idea or two 🤷‍♂️

“The Government should make building hundreds of thousands of council homes its defining purpose. No other policy, achievable within a Parliament, would have greater social and economic benefits” @andyburnham.bsky.social👏 www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

This is a reminder, that now, under Labour and @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social - 20% of NHS funding (from us the tax payer) - gets rediverted to the private sector. In return they see 10% of patients (the simplest cases no less). This is not a good business model. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

It remains to be seen whether Reform actually has 131,000 members, & if so how many of these are in the UK. But it's not impossible given that an estimated 10% of Britons fell victim to online scams in 2022-23. Fools & their money are easily parted.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Smarmite

Vile witch and her vile boyfriend decided to spend Christmas eve punching down on the disabled,some of the comments are abhorrent I would swap my brain tumour etc with her in a heartbeat maybe then she would understand what it's like to live with disability and what you have to go through for PIP

Christmas Eve! Officially time to EAT EVERYTHING. UNLEASH THE STILTON!

💔😦💔😦💔😦💔😦 As Keir Starmer refuses to stop Elon Musk pouring £millions into ReformUK, thus potentially ‘buying’ the next election for Farage ……. a reminder. Muslim,Jew,refugee, LGBTQ, immigrant, black or traveller people should be very worried and lobbying their MP. Appeasement never works.

Reeves says UK economic turnaround will take time. Can't revive economy without improving people's purchasing power. 16m people live in poverty. Profiteering is rife. 1% has more wealth than 70% of population combined. Needs action now. Tax the rich. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If we allow the billionaires to buy our politics. We will never be able to afford to buy them back.

All I want for Christmas is a government that puts people before profit, climate before corporations and health before wealth 🎄 🎁 Repost of your agree 🔄

Reeta Chakrabarti, "The gov has appointed 30 new Labour peers to the Lords" Joe Pike, "What is significant and notable about today's announcement is that PM Keir Starmer who has committed to eventually getting rid of an unelected upper chamber, has today announced a pre Christmas stuffing of it"

BREAKING: Water companies are hiking your water bills by 36% so you have the privilege of paying their fines for providing you with a substandard service. Isn't privatisation brilliant? x

UK PM Starmer says he can't think of anything he should have done differently. Hmm ... Two-child benefit cap Winter fuel payment cut Sticking to Tory tax hikes PFI 2.0 Banking deregulation Energy profiteering Public ownership of water Compensating 1950s women Funding foreign wars

Once you realize that most people just repeat the lies they hear on the TV and Radio, word for word, you realize how dangerous it is to let the billionaires control the Media.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but… www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/o...

Yep, they walk amongst us

The best thing about BlueSky is not financing a sociopath.

Appalling. The reports are just getting worse. A lesson Mr Wallace: don’t f*ck with women of a certain age. Literally or metaphorically. We. Bite. Back. 😡 Gregg Wallace’s ghostwriter says he sexually harassed her www.bbc.com/news/article...
