I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

I have a request of my followers. Just for 28 February would you please refrain from shopping online, particularly Amazon. Thanks for #RESIST ING.

Why is this not on every UK news channel this morning?

Starmer reveals his true blue colours.

We've had reports that M&S has had so many calls asking them to stop advertising with GB News that there's now a dedicated team handling messages about this issue 👏👏👏 Lines are open from *9am to 4pm* today and the number is 0333 014 8000 Let's keep this going!

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

Has Clacton been twinned with Moscow yet?

⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water. 📑25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership. #Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a £3 billion bailout. Agree? Sign our petition tinyurl.com/yxht3p94

The Court & Govt's decision over Thames Water is extremely harmful. They now have permission to triple the price of water by 2030. This will put several million people in Water poverty to add to the heat and food poverty they currently experience. Result: 100,000s of excess deaths! A Fascistic Govt.

Nigel Farage is friends with fascists who do Nazi Salutes on stage. He is in no fit state to be anywhere near British politics.

Truss, the economic arsonist who tanked the UK in 49 days, now wants a Trump revolution. Far-right Tory grifters like her wreck everything they touch, then beg for more chaos. Britain doesn’t need MAGA wannabes - it needs these clowns to vanish and take their pound-crashing stupidity with them.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

European Parliament member 👇🏽

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

After distributing £billions to shareholders instead of repairing infrastructure, water companies want more - their greed is insatiable. Nationalise without compensation. "Five water companies appeal against Ofwat’s curb on bill rises" www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Rachel Reeves is off to chat with investment bankers about how to boost ‘economic growth’. We’ve got an idea! Instead of chatting with super-rich bankers, how about we tax them fairly and use the money to invest in decent public services for everyone 🤔

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Labour has decided it's OK for customers to throw another £1bn to the parasitic water co's. To add to the £85bn they were paid and took, but didn't do their job. In fact allowed sewage to pollute precious places. Here Ewan McGaughy explains how to do it differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOnO...

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Jeez. President Trump now calls Volodymyr Zelenskyy a ‘dictator without elections’ and says that he ‘better move fast or he won’t have a country left’ Trump really is Putin’s useful idiot

Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator', 'modestly successful comedian', who should ‘move fast’ or lose country. Part of the strategy to force Ukraine to hand territory to Russia, mineral wealth to US. What next? Can't trust Trump as an ally. UK must rejoin EU. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

Spot on

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

Heating our home up 5%, turning on the tap up 26% (10% Scotland), logging on to broadband or using a mobile up several pounds a month, big rises in taxing our car. April really will be the cruellest month, especially with benefits rising just 1.7% and state pensions by up to 4.1%

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

Life expectancy growth stalls across Europe as England sees sharpest decline, say researchers
