BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv... UK Supreme Court rules legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex - live updates - BBC News

The sight of mega rich celebrities going on eye wateringly expensive jollies into space is nauseating. It's pure self-indulgence, spare us the insights into the meaning of life.

"Get the deal with Europe. Stop talking about red lines. We have shown we can work with Europe on defence security and our economies are intertwined" Stella Creasy MP @labour4europe.bsky.social calls on the UK govt to be more ambitious in trade deal with the EU. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's unlikely either Labour, Tories, Lib Dems, or Reform will do anything about this, but if it gets to 100 000 signatures then it at least has to be debated in Parliament. Then they can be publicly shamed for their collective failure... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

It is time

@mrjamesob.bsky.social talking absolute sense on LBC Here's the fastest way to tell Starmer to stop being timid on reversing Brexit Please Sign and Share petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

All MPs criticising Birmingham bin workers for striking against an £8000 pay cut should put their money where there mouth is and take an £8000 pay cut themselves

All your money is going to billionaires who don't work and who don't pay tax. Then they are using all that money, which is yours, and which should have been taxed to spend on Public Services, to blame you for all the problems.

The only nation on the planet to create a 'VIP Lane' to funnel money to friends and family of the Conservatives for supplying bogus second hand products at vast profits to themselves was the UK. All the money should be recovered and everybody involved should be in jail.

Been locked out of "X" for 4 days now after someone hacked in to my account then set up 2 Factor authentication. Advised by support to change my password but as I can't complete the 2FA I didn't set up I'm still locked out whilst they still "investigate". Think this may be my goodbye to them.

A Government official said today, "We are not going back on Brexit." Do you want to go back on Brexit, I do, and most of the UK does too. It doesn't matter what they want, it matters what you do. That's democracy.

Apparently £70bn in benefits to Disabled People in 2030 is unsustainable and unaffordable. But the £80bn billionaires and their companies get in tax breaks, right now, is just fine, we don't even need to mention it.

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33% Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

This is why we need a wealth tax No-one needs this kind of money. And the ability to hoard it, corrupts utterly.

Surprise! London's tax on polluting vehicles made everyone much healthier - Electrek

Gonna start yelling this whenever I enter a room.

Labour intend to cut what they call “benefits”. They are not “benefits”. Benefits are what many Labour MPs, like Starmer & Streeting, have received from private companies. What Labour are cutting is *social security* for the most vulnerable folk in our society.

“The cost of living for people with mental illness is no less pressing than the extra costs for people with physical illness or disability…. the society they envisage does not include us”. V.important new blog from @ritb.bsky.social with vital testimony on MH costs: tinyurl.com/49s53tt9

WEDNESDAY MORNING The expert independent committee on climate change: You need to reduce demand on flying. THURSDAY MORNING The Government: Let's expand Gatwick. NOW The rest of us: We're being governed by fools.

@damian-from.bsky.social Hi from the other side 👋🏻

Keir Starmer wants to tell us about "lifestyle choices" When politicians like Keir Starmer talk about "lifestyle choices" how come it's always to condemn the poor, rather than to highlight the greed and corruption of the rich?

Why hasn't she resigned yet? If she had any decency she'd.... Oh,.. wait. I see I've answered my own question

Repost if you agree we should nationalise water 🔄 💦 💚

BREAKING: The British government has decided it does not want to accept Palestinian refugees, but it’s quite happy to keep supplying Israel with the weapons that create them x
