The leaders of the UK and France intervened to support Zelenskyy against the demonic Trump, who stood there like an idiot, attempting to harass the Ukrainian president on behalf of his masters in Moscow.

Wow, so young .

Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

HAPPENING NOW: A HUGE crowd of protesters march through the streets outside an FBI office in Milwaukee in support of Judge Hannah Dugan (Video: @unraveledpress.com)

A best selling British book of the summer of 1940 sets things out pretty clearly

Arresting judges, deporting citizen toddlers who have cancer: These aren't just signals or conspicuous cruelty, they're stress tests. What can they get away with? What can they scale up?

I love AI.

Caption this embarrassing, pathetic 🤬😡

As reported by Byline Times last month bylinetimes.com/2025/03/20/n...

"It is fair to say that, but for the most robust Labour Party supporters, the arrival of Keir Starmer’s government has been an exasperating disappointment. All over social media, Labour voters are threatening to put their cross elsewhere; but where?"

You can see why Rupert Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks felt paying £10m+ to Prince Harry was cheap to avoid three months of these headlines. Met’s statement shows they couldn’t be less interested in reopening criminal case and money largely shut down media coverage. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

So: not alive, but capable of iterating and pursuing agendas in their own interest and against ours? Fantastic. I can’t work out if we just created techno-zombies or megaviruses. Either way, top work, lads. Have a few billion and an apocalypse.

'Water bosses who break the law over pollution could face up to two years in jail' Environment Secretary Steve Reed spoke to #BBCBreakfast about a new law in England and Wales to give the water regulator new powers to tackle companies who pollute

Don’t disappoint me, Keir… again.

No England water company boss ever punished for covering up illegal sewage dumping. Only 3 people prosecuted for obstructing investigations. None fined New law promises punishment for obstruction. Dumping permitted until 2050 Execs covered by insurance paid by companies; won't face personal fines

2017… quite significant now…

The UK has got to be the only country in the world that is politically held hostage by like 15 newspaper columnists that basically nobody reads

Labour's Luke Akehurst on GB news: "Reform plan on moving the NHS to an insurance based system." Comparable international healthcare models see people pay more than £1,300 to visit A&E, £1,000 to call an ambulance, and over £120 for a GP appointment. #ukpolitics

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature. Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes__George Monbiot .

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Happy St George's Day #TTMSSL

Without fail, whenever there's an article about a transgender person, the comments have at least one person who boldly declares: “There are only two genders! XX and XY!” The reality, of course, is not that simplistic, far from it.

The deaths are at the hands of Musk and Trump. Crimes against humanity? "Children Starving to Death After Elon Musk Cut Their Food" SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-kvoWUys/zu...

👏👏👏

there's a county in Alabama where Black people are literally getting sick because the government doesn't provide a working sewer system, and Trump's Justice Department is trying to keep it that way apparently Black people with indoor plumbing is "illegal DEI" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Speaking truth to the BBC about its role in promoting Farage and far right politics, fact-checking claims about immigration and holding them to account for not getting it right./1 #TruthToPower @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @Docrussjackson.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

The longer Brexit goes on, the more baffling it becomes

Despite cheaper renewables providing 50% of UK energy, it’s gas-fired power plants that set the market price for electricity – meaning costs are substantially higher for customers than they could be. Come on, Starmer and Labour - stop this con of the British energy consumer

A private workshop took place last month in Washington DC, hosted by the Heritage Foundation... ...to discuss proposals by European right-wing lobby groups to dismantle the European Union and the European Court of Justice.

When Tony Blair became Prime Minister he promised to lead the first ever government to end child poverty. Looks like Keir Starmer is set to lead the first ever Labour government to actually increase it www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When there’s an economic emergency, a climate energy, or a security emergency, our leaders take immediate action. The child poverty emergency has been with us for some time now, yet action seems further away than ever.

Labour Party members voting unanimously at the 2022 Conference to end all NHS Privatisation. RP if you want it done.

Governments serious about national security should have nothing to do with Palantir.

Palantir still in the process of becoming a *major* UK government contractor – particularly in the NHS – in a way that they’d get increasingly more difficult to remove or replace with every passing year.

Brexit Curse. NHS cancer patients denied life-saving drugs due to Brexit costs. Cost of importing new cancer drugs quadrupled. Shipping costs up 10 times. Brexit destroyed collaborative research. That wasn't on the side of the red bus. Save lives. Rejoin the EU.
