I’m an ex Labour member, cancelled my membership 2days after Starmer was elected leader. This is my 4th try with BlueSky. Really. It’s the old Twitter left that months ago. I’m a Christian Democratic Socialist.

REED: Were you oversees during any part of these discussions? GABBARD: Yes I was REED: Were you using your private phone or public phone for Signal? GABBARD: I won't speak to this because it's under review REED: What is under review? It's a very simple question

Ministers have pledged to “tear down” barriers to trade with the European Union after new figures showed Brexit has cost UK business a staggering £37bn a year www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Let’s honour the memory of Hossam Shabat. Take his courage, his clarity, his determination - and keep speaking up and keep fighting until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸

Yep. You read that correctly.

The Israeli military is committing genocide against Palestinians at the fastest rate since October 2023. Since the Israeli government violated the ceasefire nearly a week ago, the Israeli military has killed nearly 700 Palestinians, including at least 400 women and children.

Blow me down , starmer's not a Tory they tell me. He certainly acts like one. She should be questioned along with her husband for blatantly robbing the public purse. Not given platitudes www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03...

When they shift money from"backroom" functions in the NHS to put resource into front line staff like nurses, do they realise they are cutting off career options for nurses who might not be wanting to do the more physical aspects of nursing into their sixties.

BBC News, "Greenland's politicians have condemned plans for high profile US visits in wake of President Trump's threats to take over the island" Danish Prime Minister, "A visit to Greenland where the Greenlandic government has very clearly stated they do not want a visit right now"

A reminder that the supposedly "tongue in cheek" comments referred to here actually involved Reform UK donor Charlie Mullins demanding that "someone should kill" Sadiq Khan and "dump the Muslim mayor"

Zero accountability and nobody is going to sack him. This is America now. Criminals, sex pests, drunks and clowns. That’s your government.

Labour has declared WAR on the sick and disabled. Absolutely disgusting, and we deserve so much better.

I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients. My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered. Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror

‘Hacks’ star Hannah Einbeinder did not hold back.

Blowing up hospitals - over and over and over again. Do you really think the West will get away with facilitating this depravity? Well, we won't 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-on-...

March 24, 2025:

The Labour right operate on backroom deals and favour trading and ability is irrelevant to them. It's why vocal Corbyn critics all got seats in the house of Lords. And the super rich get appointments they have no relevant experience in. It's also why we should be very worried about their donations.

Ban Wes Streeting

UK politicians taking gifts, freebies, donations is nothing new. Donors expect a return on their investment - access to policymakers, ministers, crony contracts, lax laws. It is corrosive. Must cleanse UK politics. Criminalise the receiving/giving of all political donations in any form.'

This is so fucking bleak.

Twenty years ago, Peter Lodge wrote to the Guardian to complain about the state’s treatment of family carers. In 2022, he died suddenly at the home he shared with his severely disabled son, David, who had no way to call for help. 1/5

A former director of Labour Friends of Israel (@lfisrael.bsky.social) endorses Trump’s genocidal plan for Gaza. Astounding.

Who can look at the state of the rampant tax free profiteering that goes on in the UK, and think that what we need to do is cut school meals for 6-7 year olds?

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Do you think we're going to get away with this?

'Secretly panicking': GOP strategists fear Musk is leading Trump off a cliff Who would have guessed www.rawstory.com/trump-musk-g...

The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll. The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office. Is there anything that's not for sale under Trump?

Keep saying it.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs. At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong. I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

MPs are getting pay rises while robbing disabled people and the elderly. Discussing why that’s grotesque on ITV’s Good Morning Britain at 7.35am Will try to bring the cat x

Under a Labour government, billions are being slashed for the elderly, disabled and children – the most vulnerable in society. Meanwhile, tech bosses rake in tax cuts and wealth taxes on the super-rich aren’t even on the table. Austerity 2.0 isn’t the “change” people voted for.

Israel just killed two journalists in Gaza on 'another bloody day' of genocide Israel targeted the car of Al Jazeera journalist Hossam Shabat, & the house of Palestine Today journalist Mohammad Mansour. They are among an estimated 51 people Israel has killed today. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Reform are the party of billionaires, paid for by billionaires representing billionaires. @greenparty.org.uk are the party of the other 99%. Thanet saw Farage off before. They're ready to do it again. 👇🏼

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting suggested he will increase NHS spending on social care but did not say by how much. Must end privatisation of the NHS and social care. 30%-40% of public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. Healthcare must not be a profit centre.

JUST TO CLARIFY…👇

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base — bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders “an offer they can’t refuse.” HOW is this not an act of war?! This is how they annexed Hawaii.

The UK government announced they will make record cuts to disabled people's social security. 🎤 So we visited Bristol to speak to people about this. ‼️ There's still time for the government to rethink social security cuts. Email your MP now 👉 bit.ly/4iCkV8z

Please can this Labour government stop referring to Bevan and Attlee now? I don’t think they’d be too happy with what you’re up to.

Q. What is the point of a Labour government that leaves everyone poorer, but especially the poorest? A. Nothing. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If you want to cut Government Departments get rid of The Bank of England, Ofcom, Ofwat, Ofgem and the BBC Board. All completely corrupt or totally useless.
