🚆 Did you know @heidialexander.bsky.social's plan for our new #GreatBritishRailways aims to maintain “An ongoing role for the private sector”? 😠 What a joke! Help us 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 by completing the Department for Transport’s consultation before the deadline tonight 👇

Private companies are polluting our rivers, hiking up bills, and failing to deliver. 82% of us want public ownership – let’s make it happen! Sign the open letter now & demand action! 👉 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pu...

They've become a parody of themselves.

Take that, Donald!

Hear hear!

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

This says it all.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person. Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?! Do you see how far they have moved the window?

💥 Doctors 💥 Are you intending to submit evidence to the Leng Review? I haven't come across DHSC or NHSE explaining publicly how to do so. It's via this email: [email protected] PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR CONTRIBUTION ASAP. Please share. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Food for thought.

He lied & lied & lied & lied & no-one in the NHS will ever see him as anything other than a grasping, greedy, crooked, venal, narcissistic charlatan. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Well, Elon and the Trumps have at least one thing in common: They both are ready to screw over kids with cancer.

Dear Elon, Why stop at Mars? You’re a plutocrat! Aim for Pluto! We’ll all be here on Earth to root you on. George

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

banner day on the internet when someone tells me “educate yourself” about … the topic on which I wrote an entire book

The gall of this man.

Magnificently (& appropriately) savage from @tompeck.bsky.social on Matt Hancock’s nauseatingly self-serving performance at the Covid Inquiry yesterday. He repeated the lies about the NHS not being overwhelmed (it was) & there being no national shortage of PPE (there was). 2 more hours today 😡

Energy Price Cap to rise again! What it means for you, how you beat it, will standing charges be cut? My quick video briefing. Feel free to share. youtu.be/18NyHNd3dko

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Beware the Day One dictator.

I’m sure the Sunday morning politics shows will be all over this but just in case… youtu.be/jvo1JM6xZqQ?...

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.
