And a Merry BLOODY Xmas to all: Israel just killed 50 & is attacking the only hospital left. “Yesterday they didn’t let the Patriarch enter Gaza as they had promised & yesterday children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not war”, the Pope said. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

F-35 components have been shipped from an RAF base to Israel 14 times amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. At least two of the deliveries took place under Keir Starmer, and could implicate ministers in war crimes. www.declassifieduk.org/f-35-compone...

Starmer's authoritarianism is leading to poor policy choices by govt. Party membership emasculated. MPs showing dissent silenced. Parliamentary select committees stuffed with novices. Left purged. Lack of diversity leads to poor policy choices. leftfootforward.org/2024/12/labo...

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

How come Labour can find money when it wants to? youtu.be/vdnMDz3wuqs?... Labour found £6 billion in the last week to buy 166,000 houses for the Ministry of Defence. The spending wasn’t budgeted, so how did it fund the money all of a sudden?

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent. Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

Just Stop Oil protestor Gaie Delap, 77 has been sent to prison for Christmas Because the companies Capita, G4S, Airbus, Telefonica and Buddi who run the UK electronic tagging system are too incompetent to make a tag small enough for her. She needs to be released immediately.

The House of Lords is rotten. The process for elevating peers to it is rotten. The whole ghastly thing needs to be replaced, and there's no excuse for any side.

Enough is enough. There should be no new Lords until there are real plans for a fairly-elected revising chamber.

Politicians and much of the media is out of step with the public Recent polls show 68 % of Britons back bringing back freedom of movement for single market access, while only 17 % prioritise ties with US Geopolitical issues, like Donald Trump’s return & Russian threats, complicate the debate

Imagine Palestinians had set fire to a synagogue in Israel and daubed racist slogans on the building. The story would feature in news bulletins here all day. But this was illegal Israeli settlers setting fire to a mosque in the occupied West Bank, so our media doesn't care.

Quick reminder that the NHS was built just after the Second World War, when the population had endured unimaginable trauma and the country was broke. The ‘it’s broken and it can’t be fixed’ line is just political rhetoric. Of course it can be fixed - it’s a question of political will.

Don't talk up Reform as if it represents some ignored voice of the working class. It doesn't. It represents a rebranded far right that is bidding for American billionaire cash so it can replace the Tory party. That's all.

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year. He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
