Prove me wrong

As mass murder and genocide escalate in #Gaza, the UK government should denounce them, cut off all support to Netanyahu's government and assist in its prosecution. Instead, Starmer silences his ministers. In doing so, he facilitates the crimes.

I see numbers that suggest 183 children were killed in Gaza yesterday - you can debate the number if you wish - but if ten British children were killed in a single event yesterday we would be justifiably horrified www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

BREAKING🚨 -We've investigated the financial links between MPs and the private health sector, and can now announce which MP received the highest donation amount from individuals+companies with links to the private health sector between 2023-2025. It's Wes Streeting. Our Health Secretary. £179,575🚨

Keir Starmer to drive through welfare cuts for UK’s most severely disabled people, more than 600,000 benefit claimants could lose out on an average of £675 a month. Awful, inhumane. No cuts to corporate welfare, won't tax the rich. People sacrificed to gods of neoliberalism.

I'm a Jew too. I stood on stage again today at a peaceful protest in solidarity with the Palestinian people. That's partly because all my years growing up in Jewish schools that taught me about social injustice and standing up for what's right.

New line from some media outlets seems to be “would you pay more for a better NHS?” How clever. Instead of proposing higher taxes for the extremely wealthy, they ask the struggling public if they can afford to contribute even more 🚨

I lost an argument with an American.

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

The West is addicted to economic "growth". That growth depends on burning more fossil fuels. Much of the oil comes from the Middle East. We need to keep colonising that region through military violence to control the oil. California and Gaza: two sides of the same holocaust.

Originally, the categories in the Misuse of Drugs Act were intended to be harm-based. But of course The War On Drugs, like other ill-defined "wars", is one that can't ever actually be won and doesn't allow evidence-based policymaking to get in its way.

The Guardian describes Starmer as “from the opposite end of the political spectrum to her far-right Brothers of Italy party.” This simply isn’t true. Starmer is centre-right at best, which is why they are ‘in tune’ FFS! www.dumptheguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Britain is paying the highest taxes ever, but has the worst Public Services because all of them have been privatised and most of your money is being stolen as profit.

No further comment needed.

Possibilities of democracy have been hijacked by corporations and wealthy elites like Elon Musk. Political donations are effectively bribes to shape public choices, with no accountability of the donors. The only effective remedy is to ban all donations/bribes. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

Wow! If only the Guardian could have drawn this lesson nine years ago. But how could the paper, or Rachel, have foreseen that smearing the Corbyn left as antisemites would aid the far right and ease Israel's path to genocide? (Corbyn goes unmentioned in the piece, of course.)

Didn't expect the defining image of 2025 to turn up quite so quickly.

An unexpected side-effect of recklessly streaming copious costume dramas during the holiday period is the degree of confusion with which my every utterance is greeted by my nearest and dearest. One can only presume that the grandiloquence of my oratory perturbs their somewhat thuggish sensibilities.

true. it’s also true of keir starmer. that’s the crux of it that ppl are wilfully ignoring. until we get a prime minister who genuinely cares about ppl it’s gonna be musical chairs of bastards. the public will keep voting for whomever promises ‘change’. doom cycle.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza. We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled. This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

I can’t stop laughing at this clip 🤣

It took only three weeks to apprehend the killer of a CEO, while more than three years have passed since the Epstein list became known, and no arrests have been made.

If you're celebrating mass deportations…

People don't understand that the Class Struggle is the only struggle. There are people who own everything you need, who profit off everything you do, who underpay you on every job you work, who buy everyone you vote for. They are the ONLY problem.

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

Just think soon it will be Trump sitting in a nursing home for 3.5 years while Elon Musk and the other billionaires do whatever they want.

Thought for the day.

Thou shalt pay Amazon workers fairly, for they are as close as it gets to being Santa’s elves. Without them, Christmas doesn’t happen.

I know that some days it can feel like the whole world is against you, but actually nobody gives a shit about you

Keir Starmer’s cozy alliance with BlackRock, the titan of asset management, signals a troubling shift: private profits trumping public welfare. Funding fossil fuels and arms, BlackRock deepens austerity while working class communities suffer. It's time to expose this betrayal of the many for the few

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw orgies.

Stop arming Israel.
