Well done Judge Nichols! But can one brave judge prevail for long against a lawless despot, and an uncontrollable billionaire beyond the reach of reason or decency? He can only try. And for that, thank you Sir! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Judge slams Ofwat and govt for not attending Thames Water hearing. No one representing people/customers as lenders carve the company. Thames has £19bn debt, wants to borrow another £3bn, only £1bn will be useable, customer bills will rocket, won't resolve the crisis. Nationalise. archive.ph/NVzcP

A world with no billionaires. Is essential.

Little helper.. 😊

With reports that Britain is THREE TIMES more likely to arrest climate activists than other countries everyone should watch this film The court’s decision in @libertyhq.bsky.social’s case is due in the coming weeks youtu.be/qk5aiRXRuU0?...

After seeing off the fascists, & showing #RefugeesWelcome we matched to Altrincham centre taking #NoRacismNoFascism @AntiRacismDay message to the people

If those that make the rules don't follow the rules. They aren't really rules. They are orders. news.sky.com/story/starme...

**Just Now** These were family homes in Jenin today. The Zionists came along and just blew them up. Why? Because “western values” appears to include randomly exploding people’s homes if they’re brown.

Farage truly is Trump writ small. Like his master, he lies. Easily. Naturally. Automatically. To both of them, lying comes as easy as breathing. It's part of them. It's what they do... We must NEVER allow this to feel normal, or it will become normal. They should be called out, every time! 👍

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Understand what's just happened here. Deregulation on steroids. The UK government has officially handed over its powers of governance to corporations. When will people truly understand what this means for their families, their communities and public services? www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-mone...

UK govt targets old, sick, disabled. Long-term sick need to find jobs. Face benefit cuts of £5k a year. This after two child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut. 6.3m await hospital appointment, 2.8m chronically ill Govt won't tax wealth; increase capital gains, corporate tax archive.ph/zDPGT

The Government met today with 700 "business lobbyists." Guess who was amongst them?

Freedom my arse. It was your fucking deal - you agreed it and boasted about - and it was shit, you shameless, lying, self-serving charlatan.

You want to talk about thought crime? I'll give you thought crime. The IEA are a charity-funded think tank founded in 1955 that has been incubating every possible far-right libertarian exit strategy from democracy under the sun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg9R...

Palestinians are the most beautiful people. ❤️ #FreePalestine🇵🇸

Something I wasn’t prepared for coming to live in the UK was how preoccupied politicians are with growth as a panacea for all problems and just how bad journalists and commentators are at explaining why that’s not true.

😂

Tell me again how it's the disabled and chronically ill and who is destroying the economy. 🤡 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is what British bombs have done. Thanks to the Tories and Labour shared policy of backing Israel. We have blood on our hands. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Resisting the Muskification of European Media: Four Suggestions from Sweden @chrchristensen.bsky.social offers advice on how Europe can maintain a vibrant news www.bylinesupplement.com/p/resisting-...

No. And anyone who says it can is lying to you. Climate Emergency. There's a clue in the last word. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Labour supporters on here are worse than the Tories used to be on twitter. Your government is pushing Thatcherism, and you defend it. I'm not a fan of Thatcherism, that's why I don't support them.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the NHS will remain 1. publicly funded. 2. free at the point of delivery. Silent on what is happening in-between. NHS becoming a shell, handing contacts to private sector. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. Say NO to NHS privatisation.

I tweeted this in 2023. Charter cities shall have EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction to regulate matters, including labor law, tax law, environmental law, business registration, land registration, and dispute resolution, and the administrative authority necessary to exercise those powers'.

it feels like the first days of Twitter here - i joined in 2010 with this first mix of Liar Liar as one of my first tweets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQFw... - I put it up on youtube sent a few emails - and on day 4 it had 100,000 views. Strange and exhilarating days

#Bahrain #Bird Black-headed Wagtail is probably the most frequently seen wintering Yellow Wagtail. As spring approaches, they will be joined by as many as eight other sub-species composite pic 2

The idea of a Labour government was supposed to address the needs of the working class. Not the companies that exploit us. There is absolutely no point in a Labour government with conservative economic and social policies. Change, my arse.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Morning all! ☕️ Have a look at that. Beautiful.

Time to post this again

I will be continuing to call it the Gulf of Mexico because I don't cater to the whims of a ridiculous felon www.reuters.com/world/us/goo...

Let Denmark cook.

Remember folks, Red tape and regulations are the only things that save you from the worst aspects of predatory capitalism.

A Unite survey shows that pensioners are suffering real-life effects of the needless cut to winter fuel. They're shivering at home, having to go without bathing or without meals. Instead of picking the pocket of pensioners, the govt should be looking at a wealth tax on the very richest in society.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me. Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz. His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

England's water industry promises £22bn environmental investment, funded by rising bills. Previous promises? Customers already paid for years. Companies didn't invest, paid dividends, dumped sewage. Why pay again? Soon water will cost more than energy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How's your Labour government going, Gabriel? Any self-reflection about why it became the most hated government in British democratic history after being handed the election on a plate? PS We can't all be as famously nice as the definitely-not-a-bunch-of-jumped-up-thugs Labour Right!

Economic growth alone not enough to cut child poverty. One in three children will be in poverty in England. Must end two child benefit cap. Redistribute income/wealth. Learn from Scottish Govt which has better record of dealing with child poverty. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Right-wing think tanks are promoting charter cities, and they’re a nightmare for the UK youtu.be/kHC2qp7tIoQ?... Charter cities are a right-wing fantasy. They’re being promoted by the same people who gave us the economics of Liz Truss. And they’d be even more harmful than she was.

When chronically ill and disabled people tell you they're worried about the future under this government. Try understanding, not telling us to stop because you think it will be fine.

The amazing @richardjmurphy.bsky.social hits the nail on the head again. youtu.be/VVN_5hISUMU?...

So, we have to pay them twice. We paid their profits while they dumped shit in our rivers. Then we have to pay more for them to clean it up. Just nationalise the water companies. It's what the majority of the electorate wants. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

No! No! No! This is unacceptable! You can make promises with OUR money.. Stop raising bills, start slashing dividends! Pay it from your ever rising bonuses you greedy selfish gremlins! Nationalise water now! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
