Thou shalt not deport hard working, good people whilst importing vile criminals like the Tate brothers and still claim you have morals.

Kingy channeling his inner Janey!

People forget Trump tried to extort Zelenskyy before. He tried to use $400m in military aid as leverage to force Zelenskyy to help smear his political rivals son, Hunter Biden. Volodymyr refused, because morals. Trump was impeached. It’s not just about Don being a Russian asset, but personal revenge

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

220,000 Romanian Jews were murdered in WW2. And here we are 80 years on

Yet they are still feared and hunted.

‘Exploited’ migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

And not before time. Remember when Labour was the bold party? Now they are a timid shadow.

44% of britons think theyre not on the continent that they are on

“The real “threat from within” comes from those fake British patriots loudly cheering on attacks on our own country by a hostile foreign power” @adambienkov.bsky.social 👏 www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-collab...

Call it what it is. Trump is explicitly stating he wants to forcibly displace Palestinians. As per the Genocide Convention, this is an absolute call for genocide by the United States President. This isn't a matter you "debate". It is something you condemn, no questions asked. #r4today

Looking forward to a cultural boost at the LBT.

Wetlands are vitally important for waterbirds. 🦢 Research involving BTO suggests that the management of protected areas in Europe can aid wintering #waterbirds species in shifting their ranges north as the climate warms. 🌍 Read more ➡️ bit.ly/ResearchWater... #WorldWetlandsDay #Ornithology

Starmer should end UK’s ‘cycle of hesitation’ with EU, says Neil Kinnock

Reeves speech, analysis & how to judge her success. PMQs @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the most egregious example of ‘lawfare’ yet. @scottlucas.bsky.social on Trump. www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

Going against the overwhelming wishes of the electorate. Why have they decided that this is a hill to die on? Please explain in real words.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the NHS will remain 1. publicly funded. 2. free at the point of delivery. Silent on what is happening in-between. NHS becoming a shell, handing contacts to private sector. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. Say NO to NHS privatisation.

And so it begins, if we let it.

Teesworks, Europe's "largest" brownfield site at 4,500 acres, has dominated headlines for five years with promises of 20,000 jobs. But is it all hype? northeastbylines.co.uk/region/teess...

This is DISGUSTING. Thousands of badgers are being slaughtered in the name of a cull that DOESN’T EVEN WORK. Science has proven it’s ineffective, yet the government continues this barbaric practice. Sign the petition to end this madness NOW. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Selling out, line by line.

The number of Britons saying the UK was right to vote to leave the EU has hit its lowest level since the referendum, ahead of the fifth anniversary of Brexit on Friday Right to vote to leave: 30%

Sometimes history rhymes. This time though, it’s repeating itself verbatim.
