I'll always remember an evening ten years ago, around this time of year. While looking up at the deep blue sky, I felt a sadness creeping up on me. I was 18 and I knew I wasn't a child anymore. Knowing that meant I lost something. That sadness has been with me ever since.

Spot the difference... Russia gets no excuses but Israel does. It's almost as if people believe the victims only have themselves to blame when they aren't white Europeans.

How out of touch do you have to be to make rejoining the EU your top priority? The old and disabled are being royally screwed by cuts and yous would rather whinge about membership in an institution that happily endorses this brutal kind of politics.

If you dare compete with US tech dominance, you are a threat to national security. What we are seeing is capital interest conflicting on national lines in times of economic turmoil. The end of globalism and the return of a multipolar world. Let's hope cold trade wars don't grow to hot wars.

This is what neoliberals think equality is. A race to the bottom. A stick to beat people with. They couldn't imagine making women's lives better so they'd rather use it as a cynical political excuse to make other people's lives worse.

Birmingham council trying to say equal pay is their reason for cutting the pay of their bin workers. All this means is they aren't willing to raise the pay of female dominated roles. All this means is that they want to pit their workers against each other rather than offer anyone a fair deal.

"previous benefit cuts to disability have been linked to over 500 deaths. Some of their suicides, people starving.. I was a Labour voter. I'm not going to be anymore.. you're actually betraying the people that voted for you, the ordinary people that need your help" #bbcqt

The Labour party's name is no longer fit for purpose. It is no longer a party for the working class and disabled. They do not care for the many. They have to be replaced by those who will. Who's willing to put the work in?

Labour to cut £5bn from the poorest to 'balance the books'. Over the last 15 years, the richest 1000 in the UK increased their wealth by £500bn—who has the broadest shoulders? Those who act like Tories should expect to be treated like Tories. Help us resist Labour austerity #TUSC

The bloody Tories, I mean Labour, are aiming at the most vulnerable in society instead of the group of people who've been getting richer and richer by unfathomable amounts. They've chosen their side and it's time to draw the line and get stuck in a working class fightback, in unions and a new party.

Dems will try a tiny reform that would be beneficial to the American working class and give up at the first hurdle. GOP will force through the most harmful policies and blast through any hurdles. It's a ratchet of regression and stagnation. Progression will only occur with a new workers party.

Deadline is Friday. We're all fed up of the right to far right political monopoly. There's a serious need for a political alternative and TUSC is a good example of a way to unite under a socialist banner

You wanna see economic growth? Undo the massive cash and asset grab from the working class to the capitalist class that successive governments have been mediating. When ordinary people can't afford to spend their little hard earned money. The economy will perpetually bust.

Honestly Tesla stock falling seems like a market correction for an overinflated valuation from the vibes-based economy that is part and parcel of capitalism. There are massive material influences on this economy, don't get me wrong. But there are contradictions by investor faith trumping reality.

"Israel has killed 1 COMBATANT for every 1 CIVILIAN death in Gaza. This is much better than the 1 to 9 ratio seen in modern wars. Israel has created a new standard." You've no doubt come across this common talking point. But is it true? How should one respond? In this 🧵, I bring ALL THE RECEIPTS

Remember when the government are talking about cuts to benefits to get people back into work. They don't mean healthy people. Those people already have to actively search for work. They mean sick people. Not supporting the temporarily sick to get better. They mean squeezing them harder. Plain cruel.

AI can and should be responsibly used as a way to enhance the quality of work and not replace that work. Once it replaces the worker you end up with the situation of sacrificing quality for the sake of not paying someone. And then you get ridiculous trash instead of the gold that came from Brody
