Mark the Anniversary: March for Ukraine in London ukrainesolidaritycampaign.org/2025/01/21/d...

🤔 Curious about why @elonmusk has a sudden interest in British politics and the threat it poses to our democracy? Watch this short video - and don’t forget to share! 38d.gs/sElonMusk

Looking forward to Lord Glasman's next podcast with Bannon...

Trump's lies about Zelensky and Ukraine are a new low, even for him, and must be called out by world leaders. We need to urge Keir Starmer to stand firm and not back down when he meets with Trump next week. Add your name here:

More evidence of harms inflicted by private equity on US healthcare. Usual pattern: profiteering, hiking debt, low investment, poor patient care and safety. Yet UK NHS being handed to private equity without any evidence, 30%-40% public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

Anyone paying any attention knew this… Also, nearly half of all homes pay more council tax than Buckingham Palace …including a 3-bed terraced houses in Blackpool Council tax reform now.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

The Alt Right found a way in and their communities are growing. Like rot in the walls. These two accounts have “flipped” to reveal their true, hate filled, lying, selves. Make them, and all who link to them, gone.

Wow, just wow 😱 😳

Space Karen off on one again Must be Ket O’clock

I’ve just woken from a nightmare where the BBC Today Programme asked whether J.D. Vance had a point. When US officials are being asked to sign loyalty oaths and agree that Trump won in 2020

Stop fossil fuel projects in the Coral Triangle!

Occasionally for work I have to check into the other place. Sorry for sharing, but it is such a perfect example of how transphobia has never been about "protecting women" when they celebrate a known sexual abuser who is removing bodily autonomy because he also hates trans and non-binary individuals.

“A kid”. The DOGE staffer in question 25 years old & the racist posts date from the ancient past of <checks notes> July & September. “Normalise Indian hate.” This is the vice-president normalising explicit, open, unabashed racism. We are in such a dark place.

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

The executive branch does not have the legal right to cancel appropriated spending or eliminate agencies created by Congress. Trump and Musk are doing both. Entirely lawless and unconstitutional. The world's largest provider of food assistance shut down. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"A core principle of the civil service is that you cannot be fired or dismissed or reassigned as a matter of political retaliation. That is exactly what is happening." @raskin.house.gov #USAID #forkoff

Late to this but… WTAF?! And this guy was Britain’s cabinet secretary.

👇 Eye-opening article from our Executive Director @suehawley.bsky.social setting out some of the very clear risks facing the UK as the Labour government seems set on pursuing a headlong deregulatory agenda. h/t @petergeoghegan.bsky.social

"Will".."Will criminalise people seeking asylum". There isn't a question. In certain respects Labour's Borders Bill goes further on criminalising people seeking safety than Conservatives, not to mention how counterproductive it is guaranteed to be. 1/ #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

SAVE US FROM THIS FUCKWITTERY! In response to “Businesses want you to join the Customs Union & the Single Market. Why won't Labour do that?" Reeves replied , "Because we're going to deliver on our manifesto promises" 33.7% of the vote? That’s a mandate for bugger all! LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE

Thread!

"Water bills in England & Wales will rise by an average of £123 in April". Thatcher privatised water companies in 1989. She believed "private ownership would improve water industry". Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Left: Zia Yusuf, "We need a total bonfire of all of the red tape that stops the UK from building.. That's what Reform will do" Right: Grenfell Tower on fire as builders ignored 'red tape' safety regulations to cut costs, make profits #BBCQT

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

I know what 'DOGE' really stands for now; it's the Department Of Goddamn Evil! www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
