Call them what they are: lies.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

'Don't you dare try to invest in our area or create jobs'. Just imagine this lot in charge of the country

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4 No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us. But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointments… Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reform setting out their priorities in local government - never mind social care, housing or education - just make sure the flag shaggers are happy. Totally unserious.

I can’t bear to see any of that stupid anti-immigrant rhetoric anymore. Years and years of this nonsense taking us back to the past. How can humans still be doing this in 2025? The politics of distraction will never benefit the people but it seems that’s a lesson many are immune to learning.

Exactly this. 🔥 “US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos.”

Airports are basically legalised extortion.

From the West Coast to the East Coast, the ports are empty. A tsunami is coming that can’t be stopped. Trump is about to stick it to ultra-loyal MAGA group who (probably) don’t see it coming apple.news/ANDLIB9-fSS6...

Trump, through his crony Patel and the FBI, has orchestrated the arrest of a judge who dedicated her life to justice. We stand with those who serve the law with integrity, not with criminals who claim to enforce it.

We choose to support judges who risk everything for justice, not a man facing multiple indictments who manipulates institutions for his personal gain. America must reject the falsehoods of those who betray its core principles.

The political arrest of a judge signals the collapse of judicial independence, erodes public trust in US institutions, and accelerates the rise of authoritarianism, where law becomes a tool for personal power rather than a shield for the people.

Starmer should be refusing to negotiate anything with the USA whilst it continues to throw its weight around like this. We should align with the EU. We are stronger together observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

There’s no shortage of money. There's only a shortage of will, imagination to spend it wisely. When a handful of men can each afford their own space programme, and yet children still go to bed hungry in cities glowing with wealth, we’re not dealing with scarcity, we’re dealing with stupidity.

Oh yes. America has picked an extremely inopportune moment to collapse into fascism. The tools of the modern surveillance state in the hands of a fascist autocrat is going to very hard to v resist. That’s why we must stop them now.

Reform UK Easter reading: "I was hungry and you said I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said we need an insurance based healthcare system..."

The Trump administration has quietly doubled down on its decision to stop sending emergency food to children starving in Bangladesh, Somalia, and other countries. Without urgent intervention, these children might die within months, @hana-kiros.bsky.social reports. https://theatln.tc/kQAZFJJw

If Trump was President in 1940

Once again, the USA is voting in the UN alongside Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and their other... buddies

Come on The Arsenal!!!

Remember this partisan, patronising headline on a BBC News article last month? We made a formal complaint, asking specifically how this had been signed off before publication (it was changed later after numerous complaints). The BBC failed to answer and insists everything is just fine

I don't know if there is a case to be brought before the European Court of Human Rights - but we have already asked the question of a KC. And, yes, if there is a decent case for a trans person to bring, we will help them bring it.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.
