The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now. My column today. www.theguardian.com/global/comme...

Meet a leader who is not a convicted felon and never called those who gave their lives for the freedom of Europe ā€˜suckers and losersā€™. A leader who wasnā€™t scared to get his hair wet. A man who did not collaborate with the enemy This is a man who didnā€™t incite an insurrection to overthrow an election

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. Youā€™ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country šŸ‘

There is still time to go to the SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE protest in London on Saturday starting at 12 noon. Please repost to get maximum coverage.

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare. Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

The Prince Charles - a West End institution - is under threat. Support them, unless you want to see another fucking M&M superstore where this beautiful cinema is. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Denmark is better than the USA in every way.

Europe has a message for Elmo.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the Ā£232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the Ā£14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

In 2018 we left the EU's Water Regulation body and their massive fines. Then sewage dumping increased 20x. Before Brexit we had some of the cleanest water in Europe. Now it is by far the dirtiest.

Thames Water is a very simple situation to fix, no bailouts, no dodgy loans, no bill increases. If their shareholders don't find the money to keep the company running and supplying water, control goes back to the Government automatically. And the debts disappear.

Conservative MP Edward Leigh thinks disabled people and pensioners cost too much. He claims Ā£2350 to pay his Council Tax, and Ā£2500 to pay his energy bills every year. But he isn't disabled or a pensioner, he is on Ā£94,000. He should pay his self and cut the bloody benefit costs.

In the USA people because 'don't want to pay for other people's healthcare' supposedly. Instead they pay 3x as much for Health Insurance and Big Pharma profits, and maybe get terrible healthcare IF they don't get denied for what they have already paid for.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR Let him know heā€™s wrong by sharing this widely

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

Just horrible, that this government hasnā€™t simply scrapped the *entirety* of the sanctions regime, that has repeatedly been shown to make it *less* likely that people return to work, let alone the devastating effects mentioned in Liamā€™s report www.theguardian.com/society/2023...

Whoā€™s good on here on UK benefits? Iā€™m wondering whether Iā€™m right that this government hasnā€™t reversed even the Toriesā€™ last gasp, ultra-mean tightening of sanctions, including an expectation of 3 hour commutes & almost immediate demand that even the best qualified immediate apply for min wage jobs

Powerful speech by Nan Goldin in #Germany denouncing the governmentā€™s weaponisation of antisemitism as a tool to silence opposition to #Israel ā€˜s #genocide in #Gaza and its bombings of #Lebanon. ā€œWhat has Germany learned?ā€ ā€œNothingā€ the crowd yells www.instagram.com/reel/DCr9jsv...

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else. Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits. I wonder if they are related?
