This sounds like aggressive “re-programming”… …and surely breaks international law as to what captors are allowed to do with their hostages.

‘After WWII, we built a welfare state because we believed in each other. Now we’re letting it rot. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’d gladly pay more tax. Wouldn’t you?’ An anonymous plea to Rachel Reeves #SpendingReview #TaxResponsibly

Yes, we need to beat Reform But the answer to populism can't be more populism It's using the power we have achieved to make real change in our country Not encouraging people to engage in magical thinking Do listen to this podcast interview with one of our brilliant MPs x.com/BylineTimesP...

#Renationalise water now

A gigantic new AI datacentre to be built in Lincolnshire is projected to release five times the carbon dioxide of Birmingham airport. A planning application for the facility has been submitted to the local council. The public consultation is open for another three weeks.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

They call protest performative but what else do we have, when elected representatives are unrepresentative and choose inaction? Their silence, collusion. Every moment they refuse to act proves how unfit they are to represent anyone but themselves. Greta is extraordinarily brave.

Not on your nelly. After years of pumping sewage into our rivers—and £billions plundered by investors—Thames Water should now slip quietly into receivership and be refashioned as a Public Benefit Company. One that serves people and planet, not shareholders. #PlanetBeforeProfit

More misogyny aimed at Greta Thunberg. Anyone who thinks she’d speak out for any reason other than moral conviction has no clue how women with platforms are treated- even if they silently comply. Netanyahu’s massacre is globally enabled. So she is incredibly brave to this.

Philp gulps his way through the Sunday politics shows, pretending he was a lone voice urging restraint while Liz Truss grenaded the economy… admitting ‘mistakes were made’ but refusing to apologise. The arrogance and the delusion are beyond tedious now. Just go TF away, all of you. You’re done.

Thames Water’s £4bn rescue deal just collapsed… and so should the idea that private equity can run our essential services. £20bn in debt, rivers full of poo, and shareholders pocketing billions. Privatisation is a shit show - Thames is the ultimate proof of that.  buff.ly/x47yFyY

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

Most Brits think we should stay in the ECHR and protect our British-European values… Makes perfect sense. And also- 1) It protects us from Trump-like behaviour with his own citizens 2) It underpins our criminal data-sharing with Europe. Leave ECHR and we’d become a haven for criminals.

1/2 I was amongst several Labour MPs who joined thousands of protesters outside parliament demanding the UK place sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel as Prime Minister's Questions took place last Wednesday. In this clip, I explain why.

See how quickly that escalated… We put fragile, emotionally underdeveloped narcissists in power …and then we wonder how wars start.

We're rebranding because Brexit was just the beginning. The same toxic forces that drove it are now global: nationalism, disinformation, democratic backsliding. The New World reflects the bigger fight we’re in. We’re certainly not backing off the topic of Brexit – we’re going in harder.

For Merz, the new leader of Germany, to actively decide (just announced by his foreign minister) that Germany will continue to supply Israel with weapons… …means that he has actively chosen to be complicit in war crimes. And Germany is now complicit more than any other European nation.

🔥 Brexit: Labour’s lethal weapon to see off Reform? Labour is searching for the tools to fight Reform's rise, and the biggest chink in their armour could be the catastrophe that is Brexit. 👏👏👏

POPCORN TIME PEEPS 🍿

Why would it be the “wrong signal”, @aussenminister.diplo.de? Because it would give starving and maimed children hope? Because it would acknowledge an ethnic group as a people? Never in my lifetime did I expect I’d see Germany backing a govt committing persecution, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Gorgeous. And fluffy! Taken on Worcester canal by Chris Bright. Happy Thursday, lovely people.

Labour's new rule. A refugee will be rejected for 'bad character' if they arrive by boat, or in back of a truck. But without safe routes, the ones with 'good character' can never get here. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

Francesca Albanese— "I call it genocide b/c IT IS genocide. Defined by intent, not by method or means. Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. B/c of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred."

'I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time’ To be fair, it’s not a good use any body’s time www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/zia...

this is what internationalist intersectionality looks like

NEW: 3 in 5 Brits would support sanctions on Israel, to exert pressure on it to stop its attacks on Gaza 65% would support a COMPLETE arms sales ban to Israel. And 60% would support an end to the trade deal between the UK and Israel. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

By taking public ownership off the table from the start, the government’s "largest review of the water sector since privatisation" is just moving deck chairs on the Titanic. Privatisation is not a problem - it is THE problem. Sign my letter to Sir Jon Cunliffe: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Reform saying one thing and doing another? Surely not…
