I keep myself busy although happily retired. I love walking with my husband and our dog. Have great children and grandchildren. Very interested in politics. I’m a happy lefty and probably a bit woke. Very concerned with what’s going on in the world today.

EXCLUSIVE: The One and Only Ms. Rachel Opens Up to Mehdi on Her Advocacy for Gaza's Kids zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

After 50 odd years of voting for Labour, you will have my vote. Labour's betrayal of the working class, poor, and the disabled is breathtaking and shameful.

I've yet to see any Western government condemn the terrorist entity for its return to mass starvation. Our governments don't give a shite about human rights, just self-interest

Israel has blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza as it demands Hamas agree to a US plan for a ceasefire extension

The families of Israeli captives have accused PM Netanyahu of violating the ceasefire deal by “refusing to conduct talks on phase two”, which would bring an end to the war on Gaza in exchange for the release of all remaining captives. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/lwv3gp

Israel is cutting off Humanitarian Aid to Gaza because Hamas demanded Israel start withdrawing their troops like Israel agreed. You won't see a word about this in our Media. They cover up the crimes of War Criminals.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 31 MILLION!👏 LETS DO THIS!

Our job is to make this the lowest-rated Super Bowl in history. Hit them where it hurts... corporate dollars. Besides, even the ads have been crap lately (watch them on YouTube on Monday if you must). #Resist #bluecrew

What a strange time to be alive when the majority of the people want peace and the majority of politicians want their own people to shut up and not mention the word GENOCIDE

The Government met today with 700 "business lobbyists." Guess who was amongst them?

The Times knows this is bullshit. It knows what the cab rank is. It knows how it works. But The Times is dishonest. So it runs the story anyway.

The Metropolitan Police have sought to ban protesters against Israel's genocide from assembling outside the BBC. This is a democratic outrage. My interview with Ben Jamal, head of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=G3KJ...

The Met Police banning opponents of Israel's genocide from protesting outside the BBC underlines a central truth. Opponents of mass slaughter are demonised as hateful extremists. Cheerleaders of barbarism are 'mainstream moderates'. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/metropolit...

You've been told over and over again that Gaza's official death toll is false. That's absolutely right. The death toll is in fact a drastic underestimate 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/new-study-...

Tories now permanently stuck in Brexit-failure shit creek, demanding they flounce out of every institution with ‘European’ in its name, to avoid the rules and responsibilities that all our neighbours share. The notion that these evil morons should oversee our human rights is sinister in the extreme.

When I first became chronically ill, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Now, eight years later, I'm diagnosed with ME, FND, PTSD, cPTSD, ADHD, and I've been told to seek an Autism diagnosis. Depression is a catch-all until you get a full diagnosis. Tony Blair is chatting shit.

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world. Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime. It ain't the USA.

Without trade unions we wouldn’t have • a minimum wage • maternity & paternity rights • pension provision • holiday & sickness entitlements victories which have benefited every single person in this country Join a union👇 www.tuc.org.uk/joinunion youtu.be/jg0D2yNiqHM?...

We've crossed a very, very dangerous threshold. The combined forces of ignorance, disinformation, hate, and extreme wealth have seized power and are twisting the global agenda. Decent people need to step up and counter it all, or things are simply going to descend into the pit of hell.

131,000 social care vacancies in England alone Let's think why: 🔴 Very poor wages 🔴Lack of career opportunities 🔴 Split shifts with home care companies meaning many work 7am till 10pm 🔴 No travel time or petrol paid by many firms Why would people choose those employment conditions?!

Social care leaders are warning that the timescales for the new commission on adult social care reform are 'far too long', and potential solutions to issues such as charging 'are clear and do not require years to consider'. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/soci...

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care. What about those who are suffering here and now? We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Britain secretly advised the Israeli military on psychological warfare techniques. Leaked documents reveal how the British army’s 77th brigade discussed strategy and tactics with the Israel Defence Forces. www.declassifieduk.org/uk-psycholog...

‪The public must be informed of who Palantir are, a spytech company co-founded by anarcho-capitalist Trump donor and right-wing libertarian Peter Thiel, whose estimated net worth of $11.2 billion.‬Thiel and Trump will buy the NHS, but that is not their only goal. Thread

🔴 EDITORIAL: The Cosy and Comfortable Liberal-Democratic Political-Media Class & the Darkness Ahead "While they are comfortable attending Spectator parties & pontificating on podcasts, the country risks sleepwalking into a dangerous abyss" – Byline Times' Editor-in-Chief @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social

Three new years resolutions the Labour need to make. 1) recognise that their support for Israel was wrong, and call for an immediate end to the genocide 2) recognise that to fix the NHS we need to fix NHS pay and end privatisation. 3) admit we need to tax the wealthy and increase investment

Jews, Christians and Muslims came together for a carol service in support of peace for Palestinians. Then the Met Police came in and threatened to arrest them. This is what you'd expect from a police state. New video 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gGo...

I continue to think Labour's conspicuous performance of jettisoning the Left, who might otherwise advocate for it, is a very real cause of the unprecedented unpopularity it is now experiencing.
