Listen to this.

So patriotic. Reform UK to exploit Britain’s weak political party funding rules to “raise funds from wealthy offshore donors in low-tax jurisdictions including Monaco, the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland”.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. @NickThomas-Symonds @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

As the IMF downgrades UK’s growth outlook, a reminder. Outside the EU, Britain has to bear huge admin burdens to export to our largest market. It’s like trying to run a marathon with a sack of potatoes on your back. To regain Britain’s competitive edge we must be a full EU member. Rejoin EU now.

@pippabartolotti.bsky.social is that you in red?

With one week to go until the by-election for a new councillor in Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction here's why its important for everyone to have a Green councillor to challenge Labour! VOTE @paulvalentineactor.bsky.social on MAY 1st @greenparty.org.uk @greenpartyscott.bsky.social

Please note @DwrCymru @welshwater.bsky.social

Farage's comments on SEND and diagnosis of disabilities is not only wrong in it's understanding of how diagnoses in the NHS happen. But he also claims there are still family doctors that have been seeing families for generations. This man has not used the NHS in 20 years.

Lib Dems back ban on playing music and videos on public transport in England

His articles are always worth reading.

But who in the world will charge this Zionist Israeli government. Who is brave enough?

The deliberate killing of medics and paramedics is a war crime.

This evil Government continues and I just still can’t believe I am saying this about a “Labour” government. Those stalwart Labour politicians of the past - must be turning in their graves or bowing their heads in shame. @WelshLabour

Still thinking of visiting the US? Read this and think again. Hope Germany and the rest of the world hold The US to account and advise their people “not to visit the US”!

And @DwrCymru @WelshWater - despite being a not for profit company are just as bad.

❗️ NEW: 10,000 people say they'll stop paying their water bills. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves won't stop the price hikes and sewage dumping, so we're taking matters into our own hands. Join the pledge to strike today and, together, we'll end the failure of private water 👉 takebackwater.uk

Well I never ever thought I would become a “troll” but whilst Labour Gov continue this cruel & shameful discrimination of disabled people by taking their benefits I will continue to remind my local MPs to vote against this . Abstaining is useless. @NickThomas-Symonds @JessicaMorden & @RuthJones

And U.K. supply Israel the arms to kill these children. @labouruk.bsky.social

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Trump says UK state visit may happen in September - The i Paper Pretty appalling inviting a convicted felon and rapist as well as a fascist dictator to the U.K. I can just see the history books “When U.K. PM & King invited Trump”

Lying, hypocrite Nigel Farage voted against an EU move that could have helped protect the steel industry from cheap Chinese imports.

Farage disgusts me beyond words.

I find it hard to take the Tories seriously on British industry after the decades of damage started by Thatcher and her privatisation agenda #BBCLauraK #SocialistSunday

Have sent this on to my local MPs - Torfaen, Newport East & West. Their answers in the past were about work rather than compassion for disability. My family member will never be able to work.

This is good

Great to see a strategically important industry saved by this government. Now do all of rail, mail, water and energy! “Our nationalisation phobia has handed state assets over to foreign governments to make handsome profits that should have been ours.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

George Monbiot wrote this 6 years ago this week. The profiteers are bleeding us dry, making our public services into their piggy banks. This just can't go on. It's common sense: public services should be in public hands. 🚆📮💙🚍🌊⚡️ weownit.org.uk/privatisation

💷 The Government ensured that public services in England were fully compensated for the increase in Employers’ NICs. They have not done the same for Wales. Welsh public services are now at a loss of £65 MILLION. 🏥 Does the NHS in Wales not deserve the same funding as in England?

Every privatisation promised a better service, cheaper but delivered a far worse service, much more expensive

Do we need more QE? Mo. Do we need the government to admit that QE was simply it borrowing from the Bank of England, and that it will need to do more of that to get us through the crisis heading our way? Yes, most definitely we do. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

An important point. I have come off X although it is incredibly difficult to delete your details & account. Haven’t managed it yet - lots of obstacles.
