The stone raft: stubborn isolationism or an EU reset Starmer seeks an EU reset, but sends mixed signals to the EU on trade and alliances, and clings to US ties yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Ha!

Using North African countries to produce renewable energy for the European market, and stopping them decarbonising their own societies, is neo-colonialism High-income countries must cut their own wasteful consumption and build renewables close to home, not outsource environmental or social harm

Two-thirds of the public - and even half of Tory voters - want energy companies nationalised. Social ownership actually is the centre ground.

Stop these flights and stop arming Israel.

📈 Average UK private rents increased by 8.7% over the last 12 months. 🚨 The sector is out of control and contributing to widening inequality and homelessness. 💚 The Green Party would introduce rent controls to stop the exploitation of private renters by landlords.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Donald Trump 'lives in a place of disinformation' He’s right

Ok that made me laugh

Thames Water got their £3bn bailout approved at the High Court, but where was the Environment Secretary? 🤔 The judge slammed Steve Reed for not attending. 😡 Governments should govern. Sleepy Steve needs to wake up, sort this mess and take back Thames! tinyurl.com/yxht3p94

I thought there would be a lot more signatures if I’m honest.

UK energy bills forecast to rise 5% from April. Add to this inflation-busting rises in water, phone, internet and more., people feel helpless. Can't grow economy with depleted household incomes. Must curb profiteering, impose windfall taxes. Ofgem protects companies, not people.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. Oslo & Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills #Oslo #Helsinki

Syrian authorities arrest three men with suspected links to notorious Tadamon massacre

Yes it's totally wrong. Thames Water "customers" are bailing out this sinking company with a MASSIVE bill rise of 35% You pay more - and you have no choice about it This is why we need PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW

"As the lawyer for some of the UK victims of Tate’s alleged crimes, I find this development, if true, equally bizarre and outrageous... The US shouldn’t be interfering based on Elon Musk’s political whims and predilections and the money Tate makes for him on X." ~AA

HMRC ditches crackdown on private equity tax. Who will bear the cost of appeasing private equity? Govts listen to donors, finance industry, developers and the rich. The rest get two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment, frozen personal allowance, cuts in public services. archive.ph/BjU9b

This.

Scotland customers pay on average £113 less for water than England. Public Ownership of water is normal in 90% of the world. 82% of us want to see water nationalised (YouGov July 24). Thames Water, a zombie company, just took on £3bn extra debt. So yes we DO want water nationalised as a whole!

'Everything she says - for a woman who "never makes gaffes" - sounds either dangerous or ridiculous.' @mrjamesob.bsky.social unpicks Kemi Badenoch's latest statements line by line, branding it 'one of the most intolerant speeches' he's ever heard.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

I’m sat in Pizza Express behind the festival hall. Opposite me two women are busy colouring in their kids activity sheets while their kids spend their time on screens. Love it.

Kemi Badenoch says ‘western civilisation will be lost’ if Tory party fails. No introspection from a party that destroyed the UK economy, healthcare, public services, household income, illegally prorogued parliament, promoted social divisions, handed contracts to cronies Tories won't be missed.

"Reform MP installed solar to cut bills but party calls renewables ‘massive con’" Reform UK are a bunch of con men... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🔥 Very, very important issue here: Lasting power of attorney Leeds MP Fabian Hamilton warns that lasting power of attorney abuse is going unchecked. He is recommending reforms - but what are they - and will it be enough fix a clearly failed system?

No, Gen Z Do Not Want to Be Ruled by a Dictator The media has been full of incredibly dubious claims that young people want to be ruled by a dictatorship. The reality is very different, finds @natashadevon.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/02/14/n...

‘Government Narratives About ‘Disabled Scroungers’ Give Trolls Permission to Viciously Attack Us Online’ The notion that disabled people are scroungers and benefit cheats is almost permission to further abuse against them, Penny Pepper writes bylinetimes.com/2025/02/14/g...

A Youth mobility scheme will foster cultural exchange, build trust between nations & help to rebuild a UK-EU relationship that will drive economic growth & bolster security - isn’t that exactly what the Labour government pledged to do in its manifesto? So why oppose it? youtu.be/1y2RbbUg06c?...

Keir Starmer has spoken to President Zelenskyy and reiterated the UK’s “concrete support” for Ukraine “for as long as it’s needed”

It should be crystal clear by now that Trump cannot be trusted... with anything. Starmer should stop trying to be all things to all people - which only achieves being nothing to anyone. Instead, he should rush to bring us closer to the EU, the only trade and defence partners we can still rely on.

Great to catch up with my friend Will Snell CEO @fairness.bsky.social today. Fairness Foundation are doing tremendous work in tackling inequality in the UK and are now on BlueSky. Do give them a follow!

Fuck me, no way. I wonder what it is about the Sieg Heil guy's leadership that led to this outcome.
