Nothing but facts.

Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday

Why aren't MP's 'expenses' means tested?

Hurry, you have a just a few days left to share this video in the UK before facing up to 14 years in jail for "supporting terrorism": www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgPy...

In the last 12 hours Channel 4 News @ BBC news have carried articles about the damage inflicted on Iran by Israel They carried no such article on damage inflicted on Israel by Iran which is rumoured to be substantial They call this balance

This is NOT a concession or a major u-turn Labour MPs have merely succeeded in delaying impact of cuts to those claiming tomorrow! As “planned cuts will only hit future claimants” You Fools… The voting population are angry that any disabled person should suffer!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

So called Labour rebels remain careerist Fools… The voting population are angry that any disabled person should suffer! This is NOT a concession or a major u-turn MPs have merely succeeded in delaying impact of cuts to those claiming tomorrow! As “planned cuts will only hit future claimants”

If the PIP and UC changes are unacceptable (and they definitely are), why is it ok to inflict them on new claimants? How can Labour rebels be happy with inflicting this cruelty on anyone?

I don't want his apologies. I want him to remember he's the leader of Labour and not a Reform tribute act. on.ft.com/3Gnr8Hn

i said weeks ago that we will view these "aid distribution" sites in the same way we look back at the "showers" in the extermination camps of the holocaust and i am furious that this is happening every day

The government’s so-called concessions to their disastrous welfare reforms are wholly inadequate and will still push millions of vulnerable people into poverty. They must scrap the whole bill.

After watching what Israel has done in Gaza, seeing what the IOF does with their victims possessions and seeing the absolutely vile and psychotic things Israelis say on social media, I want, at the bare minimum, for that sick, depraved state to be dismantled. Just get the fuck out of Palestine.

The strangers ripping you off in the UK are the billionaires, they don't integrate, they don't work, they don't pay tax here, they don't even live here. But they rip you off to the tune of £300m each.

15-year-old black girl Child Q was strip searched by the Met while on her period because she 'smelled of weed'. David Cameron was caught smoking cannabis at Eton and no further action was taken. That's the state of class and race politics in Britain today.

“It should be the mission of a Labour government to reduce inequality, tackle poverty, end austerity, not continue it, reverse it."

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences? This is where we show them how solidarity works. My latest with the great @doubledown.news

Funny what people reserve their outrage for. A. Children getting blown to bits in cold blood? B. Scootering into an RAF base to spray some paint on a plane? Decisions, decisions ....

Keir Starmer's PIP concessions aren't good news for anyone not yet disabled, because they will bear the price if and when they are. Labour should be ashamed if it falls for this. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/06...

Political donations are legalised corruption

At least The SNP is on Scotland's side 👏 “This does not reflect Scotland’s values and must not happen. That’s why the SNP opposes these cuts, and now the devolved legislatures have joined us.” www.thenational.scot/news/2526761...

It could be better if we had full control of our budget.

This is about the right to oppose genocide. This is about our democratic freedoms. Please sign this petition - and also share it.

Solidarity Jeremy! This bill is brutal and cruel and it is a measure of any MPs humanity if they don't oppose it. #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare
