Spot on Kev "Fuck everyone of you"

Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip There are 403 Labour MPs Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace

Green party calls for Home Office to be broken up, with responsibility for immigration handed over to new department - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Great investigation from Liberty and The i, who've uncovered what UK police forces have been doing with Palantir - buying AI software from them that uses data about an individual's race, sex life, health and political beliefs. inews.co.uk/news/police-...

if European pilots shot down russian missiles aimed at sleeping Ukrainians that would not start a WW3 it would not provoke russia to "retaliate" it would not provoke russia to strike a NATO country it would simply save Ukrainian lives that seems like too much to ask for

"Iran hasn’t started a war in over 200 years. 1/2 Israel has invaded or attacked every one of its neighbors — Egypt (1956, 1967), Lebanon (1978, 1982, 2006), Syria (Golan Heights, near-daily airstrikes), Jordan (1967). It still occupies Palestine & is engaged in a bloody genocide. But sure — tell

US ally Israel's tanks fired at hundreds of unarmed civilians lined up for food from aid trucks in Gaza, they massacred least 59 people and injuring at least 200 more. Hundreds have been killed trying to get aid in past three weeks. US politicians say they stand by Israel.

Abolish the Home Office? @zoejardiniere.bsky.social recommends splitting it into Dept of Population, Infrastructure & Immigration & Dept of Community Security (building on previous proposals from eg @instituteforgovernment.org.uk & @colintalbot.bsky.social carladenyer.co.uk//wp-content/...

Statement on Israel's latest conflict escalation. Any Government, in any country, which fails to act has lives on its conscience, and international law will ultimately hold them complicit for their actions. greens.scot/news/stateme...

Channel 4 News again leads with Gaza aid massacre this evening. This is journalism that doesn’t get distracted.

So glad that the Commons has agreed an amendment to partially decriminalise abortion. But this is just a first step, the fight isn't over. goodlaw.social/la2u

At what point do the American people collectively realise that their president has lost whatever semblance of sentience he had, and is in full-blown mental deterioration, and thus needs to be replaced even more so than the last time they had to live through this circus? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just attended the deeply moving service at St Paul’s Cathedral to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide — a solemn reminder of where hatred, dehumanisation & impunity lead. We say never again — yet a genocide is taking place in Gaza right now. The world must act.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

The Israeli government has shown that it is not prepared to stop until every Palestinian in #Gaza is dead, disabled or displaced. Every day in which it is still armed and supported by Western states, our own included, is a stain on international law.

This is perfect! Mark Carney is my new crush 😍

Does your MP support genocide ... meme via @zarahsultana.bsky.social

Over 100 MPs have signed my motion urging the UK govt to recognise the state of Palestine. The UN's conference to discuss Palestine's future was due to start today. The UK should recognise the state of Palestine now.

The reading for Starmer's Cabinet today: "Blessed are the peacemakers ..."

It's high time to bin the Home Office, or at least that part of it which deals with immigration matters. Then rebuild it from scratch with people who can deal with others as fellow humans, rather than relying on idiotic mechanistic "computer says no" rules. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"70,000 more people to lose disability benefits under Labour's cuts than originally expected" Any Labour MP who votes for these cuts is a disgrace

If Starmer endorses US involvement in the Middle East then that has to be the final nail in Labour's coffin for very many of us.

As the US edges closer to bombing Iran, Israel killed over 51 starving Palestinians at a so-called aid site today. And the UK government says nothing. Still arming Israel. Still enabling genocide. End all arms sales. Sanction Israeli war criminals. Stop being America’s poodle.

NHS England has refused to share correspondence with EveryDoctor between its director and a private healthcare lobby group 🚨

When all is said and done. Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons? No evidence of imminent threat to Israel? Let’s not kid ourselves that this is anything but a reason to escalate war and keep Netanyahu in power and out of prison.

According to ex-human rights lawyer Keir Starmer Israel has "the right to defend itself" against starving babies, orphaned children, journalists, health & aid workers and commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, and multiple war crimes aided & abetted by UK arms & intelligence #SocialistSunday

The escalation between Iran and Israel is a tragic & entirely predictable consequence of Israel’s attacks on Friday. UK govt must make clear it will have no part in this aggression and explicitly rule out any military support for Israel.

We don't need to "deter" Russia, we don't need to "contain" Russia. We need to DEFEAT Russia.

Why has Yvette Cooper taken donations from two private companies that are already making money providing services to the NHS? EveryDoctor has been researching the financial links between our politicians and the private healthcare sector, because we are worried about the way that money ...

No matter what they promise, @UKLabour are not getting us out of this #Brexit mess. The are a Brexit Party. If you want Britain back in Europe, it’s up to us...Rejoin EU and everyone who refuses to give up. 🔁 Repost & join the fight to #ExitBrexit.

We must hold Israel to account - and at the very least use the right words. Greta and co were kidnapped, Israeli forces did not take ‘control' of that ship, they hijacked it in international waters.

The genocide, ethnic cleansing and aggression demonstrated repeatedly by Benjamin Netanyahu exposes the double standard at the heart of the west's foreign policy. The regime change we really need is the removal of him and his genocidal government from office.

WHAT?? #NotInMyName ! Is she completely MAD? She may be clever academically, but she is without doubt totally politically clueless (and morally absent).

Our councillor @nickhartleygreen.bsky.social was on #BBCPoliticsNorth this weekend, talking about why we need more money going into the hands of ordinary people and community groups. Only @greenparty.org.uk has the guts to introduce the tax reforms that will make this possible.
