UN tells Starmer: scrap 2-child benefit cap and increase benefits. UN says UK is discriminating against children, women, disabled and sick people, refugees, minorities and more...

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

Cutting benefits payments *specifically* for people deemed unable to work due to illness or disability is a genuinely shocking choice from Labour. Aside from the incredibly obvious moral horror of it, it shows how our economy is set up all wrong. #r4today

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Meme in real life

United Utilities dumped raw sewage for 6,327 hours last year in Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake. It has over 205 criminal convictions. Boosts profits, dividends, exec pay by sewage dumping. Allowed to hike prices by 32%. Nationalise. Prosecute directors. archive.ph/23xXb

The Lib Dems have called on the Government to bring forward emergency legislation today in Parliament to begin the seizure of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. Approx $300 billion of Russian assets have been frozen across the G7 and the EU, with around $31bn (£25bn) held in the UK alone.

I’ll be on BBCR4 Today programme just after 7.30am discussing the Covid Inquiry’s extraordinary decision not to question a single PPE supplier this week - what an absolute whitewash.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Britain has the most expensive train fares in Europe. Yes, it's that famous 'greater efficiency of the private sector' again.

Thames Water creditors ask England watchdog to pause fines for sewage dumping, unplugged leaks. They don't want to end profiteering, cash extraction, undeserved exec pay. The industry is financially, morally and environmentally bankrupt. Only public ownership can end the abuses. archive.ph/hxUhA

A reminder for these times.

Privatised water has failed. Just look at your water bills or the sewage pouring into our rivers. Steve Reed - include public ownership as an option in your independent commission on the water sector. Sign the petition weownit.org.uk/act-now/stev...

Wealth Tax gets claps!

We need to tax them until they bleed

A civilizing idea.

Compare prices and weep & rage at a Labour government more interested in increasing billionaire's profits than ending fuel poverty "The UK has fully privatised Energy, France fully nationalised." via @bladeofthes.bsky.social

Politicians who deliberately lie could be forced from office in Wales, under new “globally pioneering” proposals to restore people’s trust in politics.

Two-tier justice While millionaire farmers block roads with impunity "Just Stop Oil supporters GUILTY of planning a protest which never actually happened" www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025...

We warned you on X for years, Bernie called it—all happened. Trump’s inauguration? Robber barons in the front row, cabinet in the cheap seats. The oligarchy’s a joke, but you’re the punchline. Stop laughing. Get pissed. Tear it down. No one else can. Power’s yours if you grab it.

"While there are many forms of democracy, ours is proving to be particularly dysfunctional.  And right at the heart of the rot of adversarialism, tribalism, short-termism, centralism and establishment conformity is our voting system." 💯💯💯 @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April — while companies have raked in over £457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020. Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains. It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

🤔 Who should own Thames Water? The fat cats who paid £1700 to take the Environment Secretary to the football... ...or YOU, the people who pay for it and use it? Sign our petition here to bring Thames Water into public hands: weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

FAVORITE PROTEST SIGNS…

"Very good question" via Angel Stroyan (of course it has nothing to do with the fact that Reeves used to be banker, and tax shy millionaires have donated £thousands to her constituency fund - while claimants haven't!)

www.normalisland.co.uk/p/a-reading-... … 🤔 £2,558 p.a. pay rise for politicians?

If you're a Thames Water "customer" their debt is your problem. Public ownership is the solution 👇

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Funny how UK media bangs on about ambulances being stopped when its eco-protesters but not when its farmers.

She speaks truth.

A 10-year-old has a better plan for stopping plastic pollution than most politicians. Amaya Edwards discovered an Australian scheme that’s keeping rivers and oceans clean. So why hasn’t the UK adopted it? she wants to know. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

If DOGE was really looking for fraud, wouldn't they have hired accountants instead of programmers?
