Nigel Farage is praising trade unions and keeps declining opportunities to blame Unite for the Birmingham bin strikes. The public will fall for it. Voted against improving workers rights. Nuff said.

Palantir (Wes Streeting's partner of choice for your private medical data) is helping Donald Trump draw up a list of targets for deportation. Are you still relaxed about it holding your medical data? www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

Rupert Lowe ‘offered to fund’ anti-Farage candidate in Runcorn by-election www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/rup...

If only all millionaires/billionaires thought this way. The world would be a much better place.

This is what’s happening with 1.3C of global heating above preindustrial levels. We’re on track for 3C by 2100. Failure to leave fossil fuels in the ground is a devastating crime against humanity & against all other life on this, our one fragile earth

What the feck has it got to do with him? More relevant is too many Tories are arrogant, self-serving, country-demolishing berks.

Electoral wake-up call’: dozens of Labour MPs risk losing majorities over welfare cuts. Starmer opening doors for Reform to benefit from protest vote who will inflict even harsher cuts and austerity. Insist on a face-to-face meeting with your MP. Tell him/her to vote against the policy.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

People are going on to overdrive sharing misleading and incomplete information about the steel works in Port Talbot and the oil refinery in Scotland. The basic claim is that the government is doing nothing in both locations. But that is a complete lie! 1/3

He can’t be trusted and isn’t acting in the interest of the public

I can guarentee you that if the Green Party had the same Media coverage as Reform they would be top of the polls and Reform would be nowhere.

Our newspapers are increasingly chasing online clicks through outrageous or factually incorrect headlines that contradict the facts in their stories. Some call it 'rage bait'. Many will only ever see the headlines and be completely misled. This has to change! Please sign my petition.

Rupert Lowe is celebrating that convicted woman beater James McMurdock will be on his Rape Gang inquiry panel! 🤢 Reform UK and anyone who supports them are human sewage!

Six out of every seven children in the UK's most deprived areas living in poverty. Result of political choices - low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, benefit cuts, inequitable distribution of wealth. Future blighted. Govts listen to donors/rich, ignore the rest.

Out of 55.2m UK adults 17.8m have annual income of less than £12,570. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. FOUR Britons have more than 20m people combined. Failure of economic/political policy. Govts still squeeze the poor. Good society can't be built on economic injustice.

We're nearing our goal of 100,000 signatures! Once we hit this milestone, our petition will be considered for a parliamentary debate. Join us in making a change for badgers. Sign now👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
