COMMUNITY FIGHTS BACK AGAINST ICE AGENTS TRYING TO ARREST HAITIAN FAMILY ✊

Any ideas @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social ? Still happy to be complicit in the #GazaGenocide? Happy to attack artists calling for #FreePalestine but not calling out the IDF instructed to shoot to kill those seeking food? Shame on you

"George Monbiot demolishes Palestine Action Ban" www.doubledown.news/watch/2025/j...

Benefit cuts for children, old, sick and disabled, free money for corporations. Drax produces electricity by burning trees, biggest polluter, serial violator of rules Costs £160 for every megawatt-hour of electricity, double the price from gas. Receives £bns in subsidies. We get big bills.

While it's disappointing to hear that Rod Stewart supports divisive gobshite Nigel Farage, it's very good of him to announce it just in time to be told to fuck off by 200,000 people at Glastonbury.

Antisemitism? Where?

It sickens me that terrorists would spray paint innocent, defenceless genocide engines... How could they do it? What motivates these monsters?

It's just insane how the greedy super rich don't want to pay a little bit more tax which would have absolutely no effect on their lifestyle. #TaxTheRich #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP

Legislators for Hire Tory MP allowed a company that paid him £60,000 a year to effectively write his parliamentary questions. What can poor do to get MP attention? Political corruption destroys nations. End corruption: criminalize political donations, spurious consultancies. archive.ph/o7ZAx

He doesn't learn, does he - 'broken' he says. If it's broken, don't strip it back further! As for 'moral imperative' - he is so utterly out of touch to believe he can appeal to voters using language like that when it is precisely his utter lack of morals we detest. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rod Stewart is an utter scumbag.

Death to the #IDF = the IDF needs disbanding and every person who's served it in Palestine should be in the Hague #FreePalestine

If your prime concern as a public actor today is an artist calling for the "death" of an army committing a genocide in full view rather than said genocide, you might want to check your priorities...

Rod Stewart "We need to give Nigel Farage a chance." No, we need to stop electing clowns that the billionaire Media and the rich love because they know they won't tax them.

None of these pieces discuss progressives' frustration with Labour being *culturally* indistinguishable from the Tories. Labour has embraced - often accelerated - the cruelty, authoritarianism and hypocrisy of the Tories and we wanted better.

Disabled Labour MP says welfare U-turn would create ‘unethical two-tier system’ Olivia Blake dismisses Starmer’s welfare bill changes as ‘plucked from the air’ and urges rebels to stand firm www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Rod Stewart, the ageing millionaire rocker, asks Britons to vote for Farage/Reform. Millionaires won't suffer effects of racism; loss of human/worker rights, public services; destruction of the NHS, economic mayhem. Just binned a CD collection.

A "concession" promising social murder of future generations is not a victory ... meme via @zarahsultana.bsky.social

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Starmer says fixing welfare is a 'moral imperative'. Politicians riding moral horses always fall. Nothing moral about Deepening poverty Taking freebies, political donations Hitting the disabled Betrayal of the 1950s born women Regressive taxes Privatised utilities Unchecked profiteering

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

The BBC didn't broadcast Kneecap at Glastonbury but they did broadcast Bob Vylan and his "Death, death to the IDF" chant. Oops BBC, better hope no one spreads their mistake.

'We're being screwed by the system...... by design' 'Too much tax is being paid by ordinary people..... too little tax is being paid by the wealthy'

I should get credit for not attending Jeff Bezo's wedding even though I wasn't invited.

#EyesOnGaza All eyes on Gaza… youtu.be/RyG1QMDn5zE?...

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?

"Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites..." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

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

Councillors sign PIP letter, calling on the government to ‘pause’ changes 70 Tees Valley Labour councillors urge the government to ‘pause PIP changes northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

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?

Charities urge MPs not to be swayed by government's welfare bill concessions leftfootforward.org/2025/06/char...

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

this article will be illegal by next week www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/in-the-uk-...
