Our 8th Byline Festival is important than ever! With Reform, European far right, Trump & Netanyahu there’s never been a more crucial time to defend democracy & truth In dark times we need each other more than ever. Programme - 11-13 July, Keele Uni www.bylinefestival.com/programme

“Child poverty is the biggest cause of social division in Britain today, a scar on our national conscience, and a stain on the soul of the country” Gordon Brown www.newstatesman.com/politics/soc...

Zealots like Kristi Noem will keep coming for universities unless or until they stake everything on fighting back: you cannot negotiate or compromise with fanatics, you just have to hope that the rule of law isn't entirely dead in America

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: “I don’t work for you, sir. I work for the American people.”

🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Remember when made in the USA was a good thing. That is over now.

BREAKING: AOC on GOP bill: “When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this.”

As always, figure out if you're on the side of democracy or the side of authoritarianism, and make sure you know the difference - Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on free press does not only affect Hungary. It affects all of Europe 444.hu/2025/05/22/v...

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Energy Price Cap announcement tomorrow likely to say it'll drop 6 - 8% on 1 July. Yet it'll still be a Pants Cap. At every point over the last year, you'd have been better off getting the cheapest 12mth fix. Currently the cheapest fix is 18% less than the Price Cap!

If you do not follow @meidastouch.com you may not know how the house set of vote on the biggest tax scam bill in history at 1 AM this morning. They are cowards, cheats, thieves, the scum of the Earth. They want to steal your money, and they’re doing it. You need to call all day.

This is Brendan Carr — the head of our Federal Communications Commission (FCC) — wearing a gold pin of Trump’s profile where his 🇺🇸 should be. Knee-bent Carr is on a retribution tour to destroy all news orgs who have been critical of Trump. Clear abuse of power! And this is not a cult??

Fed up with Farage? Me too. I’ve signed the Never Nigel Pledge. Add your name today, and help show that division and hate have no place in our communities. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170649/... @hopenothate.org.uk

1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

Keir Starmer Is Braced For A Huge Labour Rebellion Over Welfare Cuts More than 100 MPs have signed a letter urging the government to think again I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to change course. This is how you can help👇 action.trussell.org.uk/disability-cuts

Good morning 🌞

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Stinking orange mf........

There was one thing RFK Junior said today that made a lot of sense so I’m gonna share it:

It makes sense for premium Scottish whisky and salmon, two of the UK’s most profitable products, to be exported directly from Prestwick airport in Scotland, so why is the UK Government expanding Heathrow to handle it instead? Download poster from indyposterboy.scot/news-youre-n...

🔴Murder in Uniform: Britain’s Special Forces and Their Killings in Afghanistan A groundbreaking new investigation has unveiled the horrifying scale of unlawful killing done in our name, reports Iain Overton bylinetimes.com/2025/05/15/m...

I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Companies like Shell are trying to sabotage the talks to protect the billions they make turning oil and gas into plastic and block real action on plastic pollution. Let’s stop them!

"It's frankly unacceptable to recklessly bomb a hospital. It's unacceptable to starve a whole people."

Just letting everyone know that I’m not a stranger. Only people who live in the UK or have watched UK news will understand what I mean.

Time for Starmer to wake up. While he chases Reform down a migration-shaped rabbit hole with his awful 'Island of Strangers' rhetoric, life is getting harder for people across the country and his government is doing nothing to help. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/starme...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to be quizzed on Capitol Hill on his handling of the measles outbreak, the firing of thousands of federal health workers and major cuts to the health agencies he oversees.

The problem is not arriving by dinghy. It's arriving by private jet. 👇🏽

🧵 1. “The story about Reform's successes in the elections overlooked the fact that the left actually did better than the right. So that'll be media bias again.” Read diarist Mr Pecksniff on this week’s political shenanigans: ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

❓How do you get Steve Reed the Environment Secretary to listen to your concerns about the private water industry? ❗⚽Meet him on his home turf.⚽❗ Lois is inviting Steve Reed to the football - fat cat water bosses can do it, so why shouldn't she? #Loisatthepalace

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Trump: "India and Pakistan have been fighting for centuries." In other news: Pakistan was formed in 1947 following the partition of India after independence. #StableGenius

This! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Why are private companies being allowed to turn the NHS into a cash cow? 🚨🚨🚨 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

84% of the public wants the NHS to be primarily funded through taxation (source below). Meanwhile… Farage is saying this. We *must* build the movement to fight for the NHS now. I’m absolutely determined about it 💙💥 www.thenational.scot/news/2513023...

🚨 Thursday’s elections prove it: First Past the Post is broken. 5 parties, chaotic results, millions left unrepresented. We need Proportional Representation — NOW. ✍️ Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/20...

Political hacks can pat themselves on the back. They have some success at last. The party they all but invented, on whose behalf they have openly canvassed public approval, has won some seats. The latest from East Anglia's acerbic diarist. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social
