Solidarity with the Madleen's brave crew. Israel has seized the vessel in a clear breach of international law. Our government must do everything it can for Israel to release the Madleen and its crew, stop using aid as a weapon and end its genocide of the Palestinian people.

"What has the ECHR ever done for us?" 🤔 [SOUND ON 🔊]

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now! Jeremy Corbyn. Right again.

People need to remember that in Ireland just over a Century ago the most powerful Empire in the world at the time was defeated by the refusal of some of it's people to continue to accept its authority or to accept any authority but their own. They were punished for their audacity but they prevailed!

Zia Yusuf returns to Reform UK two days after quitting. Explains return to Farage cult by claiming he was exhausted. Now not exhausted enough to lead DOGE style team to slash jobs, public services, worker/consumer/human rights, promote uncosted policies What some do for the stench of power.

Leaving the ECHR would leave us defenceless against the criminal whims of whatever politicians were in power.

There were many things fishy about the election. Maybe someday someone will write a book about it since no one seems to be interested in covering it now. Start with why trump told people he didn't need their votes, he had all he needed. Or why he effectively quit campaigning the last week.

UK MPs call for ban on bottom trawling in protected marine areas. Much needed regulation. Left to themselves capitalists devour everything in sight in pursuit of short-term profits; with little/no regard for the long-term. Govts indulge them.
