Time for some global honesty: the combination of war and famine and climate change disasters means that migration can only increase. To suggest otherwise is merely to stick a finger in a dyke which is about collapse.

One 125 ton Wind Turbine will in its lifetime produce the same amount of energy as burning 175,000 tonnes of coal. Imagine all that profit flowing away. That's why they hate them so much.

Is this not corruption? What's next, citing a study by Shell about why drilling for oil is good for the planet, or citing a study by a tobacco company about how it creates more jobs for cigarette manufacturers & boosts the economy if we allow kids to buy ciggies? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’ve clearly missed something, but why is a Westminster government paying towards the development of a privately owned English football stadium? With an annual wage bill of £183,040,000. Especially when on the same day they announce that benefits for the sick and poor are going to be slashed.

Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP – start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on. Nature isn’t a blocker; it’s the foundation of growth.

Fix the two-party system before someone turns it into a one-party system, or it'll be game over for good. PR is like a seatbelt. You don't need it - until you're heading through the political windscreen at 60mph. And when the realisation finally dawns on you it's the last insight you'll ever have.

Bit tricky to see how you can be simultaneously alarmed by all the evidence of climate change, and also think that more airport runways are the way to go....

Why do wrong-doing benefit claimants need special rather than general punishments? Why not same for tax dodgers? And when someone has been caught doing cash-in-hand shifts do you really want to make it impossible for them to find a proper job & get off benefits? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No Govt has cut public spending, cut services, jobs, wages & secured economic growth. UK PM says he will be "ruthless" in cutting public spending People will spend less. Due to lack of good food, housing, healthcare, education many won't be able to work Madness leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy. Please don’t share.

Staggeringly misleading & irresponsible article by Express online. Neither I nor my site've ever said that. It's a perversion of our "earn under £35k & it's worth checking a benefits calc to see if you're missing out on owt" into dangerous, trite clickbait.

We're #English but we fully support #Scottish Independence. Why would Scots want to remain ruled by a succession of Tory/Tory-lite UK govts??? And it will also force #England to stop flouncing around in Britannia-drag and face up to its fundamental problems of gross #inequality and #poverty.

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.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Reform MPs demanding deportations without due process echoes fascist tactics, ignoring justice and human dignity. History warns us—Nazi Germany expelled Jews arbitrarily, laying groundwork for atrocities. Skipping scrutiny paves the way for abuses of power, targeting the vulnerable with impunity.🧵

You know this whole ‘tough choices’ thing from politicians? I think if they put the wellbeing of the public first, there wouldn’t be any tough choices. The choices would be clear. No close links to corporations. No low taxes for extremely wealthy people. End privatisation. Tackle climate crisis.
