Tories to force vote to disapply Human Rights Act in immigration cases Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights- just privileges that can be taken away by people in power when they want youtu.be/yhXzz_alkSk?...

There should be no profit on Energy, Water or Housing. If they were all owned by the Government they would have an extra £250bn a year. More than the entire NHS budget, Free Healthcare for all.

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

Nearly 1 in 5 people on Universal Credit & disability benefits relied on foodbanks last month. Hunger & hardship are at crisis levels. Further cuts to welfare & disability benefits will be disastrous. I’ll always vote against austerity & push for wealth taxes on the super-rich.

Israel's siege on Gaza, the blocking of essential aid and the cutting off of electricity are textbook acts of genocide, designed to systematically starve 2 million people. It's shameful the Labour government continues to refuse to recognise this for what it truly is: genocide.

UK Treasury earmarks billions in spending cuts. It is austerity, cutting real wages, dept spending and benefits, hitting low/middle income families No plan for redistribution of income/wealth or curbing profiteering. People need to put pressure on their MPs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Multiple people have got responses from the BBC after lodging complaints over their absurd and excessive coverage of Rachel Reeves. Quite frankly the response is weak and simply tries to justify again what they were doing. Our media needs urgent reform! And I have a petition for just that!

Donald Trump talk about Tariffs, which are just taxes paid by US citizens. But a Tariff we really need is a 45% tax on all people who aren't tax residents in the UK. Everyone moving their £250bn a year out of the UK to tax havens should have to pay it.

Labour promised to deliver an extra 2 million appointments a year as a first step to fix the the NHS. And they have reached that target in just 5 months. The impact? More people getting the treatment they need and waiting lists down by 160,000 (compared to a 33,000 rise the year before).

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

My mother always said, 'If America coughs, we always get at least, a bad cold or worse' That was over 50 years ago. That sentiment is still prevalent today. People in the UK 'NEED' to learn that the USA will discard us like a wet rag, UNLESS' IT BENEFITS THEM!
