SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Benefit cheats could be stripped of driving licences. Someone innocently exceeding the Carer's earning limit is charged with fraud, can't drive, many not be able to work, can't support family, needs more benefits. Hawks are appeased No equivalent sanctions for tax abusers, launderers, real crooks

I talked to LBC about how both climate breakdown and catchment mismanagement helped cause the latest, terrible floods, and the intense frustration of spending 40 years banging your head against the wall about such issues. www.youtube.com/watch?v=icOC...

On Elon Musk’s repeated attacks on Keir Starmer’s government Sky’s @samcoatessky.bsky.social rightly points out “If we were talking about a figure close to the Kremlin or the government in Moscow we would be asking the question whether this was foreign interference” @sophyridge.bsky.social

What nonsense, the international 🙄 court is exactly the right place to hold Israel and its unethical supporters, like Joe Biden accountable.

You knew how the right wing dehumanizes and demonizes trans people? What if we did that with billionaires? That might be a winning message.

Errol Musk, father of Elon bears a strange resemblance to Josef Fritzl. Apartheid Clyde senior, calls on Starmer to resign as he claims Labour have 'sent England back 400 years' in an interview on LBC. Why are they entertaining him? We know the establishment supported apartheid back in the day but..

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect. A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean? A short thread.🧵

Hi mark. A perspective: You have an amount of money that is obscene while people die every day, likely from conditions your companies help perpetuate and enable. The fact that you sleep at night should be considered a miracle. Fun!

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

It's not refugees stealing our wealth. It's not assylum seekers. It's not people from overseas. It is corrupt governments and their cronies. It's mega companies and corporations. It's big business denying us fair pay. Wake up. #EnoughlsEnough #RefugeesWelcome
