The new Blood Donor Centre in the heart of Brixton will be vitally important to helping more Londoners give blood. Right now there is an urgent need for blood donors, particularly those from London’s Black communities.

Caroline Lucas, "When you say President trump has different views, it's not about different views it's about telling lies, and we should call that out" "The truth is the truth and we should be promoting that" Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Is the US concern about Tiktok just protectionism in disguise, or is there something genuinely different about it? If they're that concerned about social media companies undermining democracy, it strikes me they might also be looking a little closer to home.

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.

The Tories did NOT implement recommendations of the Prof Jay report into child sexual abuse Whitehall estimated compensation costs at £5-10 billion! Badenoch was Children's and then Women & Equalities Minister. DIDN'T mention "grooming gangs" in House of Commons once in all her 8 years as an MP!!

Yesterday, I attended an event organised by Centenary Action, who are fighting for a full gender balanced parliament by 2028. I was more than happy to show my support and have a photo with Helen Pankhurst - guess who her great-grandmother was! More at: centenaryaction.org.uk #mission28

Found this great quote from Chuck D in 1999, about the digital music boom: “How can I be mad if ten million people get three of my songs for free? I have faith that enough people will recognise that artists need income from making music.” That’s where it went wrong. Nobody explained the last bit.

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

Keir Starmer-led Labour Govt is unpopular. Why? It is following Tory or worse policies Two-child benefit cap Winter fuel payment cut No change in income tax thresholds No curb on profiteering No end to water woes Botched rail nationalisation Must change policies leftfootforward.org/2024/12/labo...

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
