I had no idea so many bills have reached Royal Assent and a lot of these bills are going to really help our country, like the Renters Bill and nationalising railways.

All disabled people are deserving of life, love & care. The narrative that “low functioning” people who don’t pay taxes, won’t serve in the military & can’t live independently are somehow expendable is deeply rooted in eugenics. A person’s worth isn’t tied to their health or economic contribution

Of the 580,000 people on LCWRA but not PIP, 44% have mental health conditions. That’s 255,000 relying on £423.27/month to cover essentials like rent, utilities, and food—reducing financial stress, a huge trigger for mental health deterioration. #ProtectLCWRA. #WelfareNotWarfare

Charities warn 4,800,000 children will be in poverty by 2029 if the two-child benefit cap stays. A Labour government increasing record child poverty isn’t just cruel — it’s political suicide. Time to scrap the cap, tax the super-rich and choose children — not austerity.

Keir Starmer dug a hole with his Pope Francis tribute - and promptly jumped straight into it Jesus overturned tables of money in a piece of direct action. So, for Starmer to pay tribute to Pope Francis in the way he did is the height of hypocrisy. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

We really need people spreading anti-immigrant rhetoric to understand that immigrants are people, and some may even save your life. That’s not to say we shouldn’t be compassionate to immigrants who can’t save our lives, because, at the end of the day, we’re all human!
