PM #Orban and his party just passed constitutional changes that tighten his hold on power, and attack civil society and free speech. Again, we urge the EU to act to defend #democracy and fundamental rights in #Hungary. Our MEP @tinekestrik.bsky.social comments ⬇️ www.greens-efa.eu/en/article/p...

Money bags Farage is lecturing us on how much local council staff make! Not as much as you Nige! Does anyone at Reform know how to run a local council. If they ever did run a council it'll be DOGE all over again. They'll probably cut bin collections thinking sanitation is to do with women's health.

Nigel Farage wouldn't privatise the Water Companies, he would just milk them for donations, then bail them out and let them rip you off even more. Nigel Farage is Elon Musk and Donald Trump's puppet.

Water CEO's in the UK are getting £200m a year. What do they do? There's no products to sell, none to buy, nothing to change. It's literally treating sewage and building reservoirs, neither of which they do. Nationalise and fire them all.

If politicians want to know why NHS commissioners aren't doing as much as they think they should, maybe it's because we have to spend most of our energy on constant reorganisations instead of monitoring and planning health care like we should be doing. 3 major reorganisations in 4 years. 1/2

I hate reading comments like "Labour have to make cuts to pay for....". It's bollocks. We are a fiat economy, cuts will simply slow economic activity and impoverish millions of people already struggling. This whole 'household budget' gaslighting is Thatchers legacy.

The only way to stop people being forced into the hands of people smugglers is to introduce safe routes for people to seek safety in the UK. Starmer knows this - but instead of making this lifesaving change, he's choosing to dance to Nigel Farage's tune. Shameful. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

For too long companies have paid unliveable wages in the knowledge that governments will make taxpayers make those wages up to liveable level. Why, oh why, are taxpayes made to subsidise profiteering companies? Companies need to pay decent wages.

It is simply mind-blowing that at least 41 people are now in hospital in Texas for measles. Many will be children. This horrible, deadly disease is preventable with vaccines. And no, RFK Jr, vitamin A, steroids & cod liver oil are not remotely effective as a vaccine substitutes. Heartbreaking.

A lot of people who are angry with Labour are going to sit out the local elections. That's just what Farage and the Brexit media want. If you're fed up with Labour then vote LibDems or Green. Don't help fascism by abstaining. We urgently need to burst Farage's bubble. #Vote4Democracy

If you want to bring down the benefits bill you can: Put up minimum wage so no one needs to claim in work benefits. Cap rents to bring down housing benefits. Invest in the NHS to get people the treatment they need to get well.
