I don't know much about Quakers, but my guess is that if you're breaking into a meeting house, and arresting young women for attending a meeting... You're probably on the wrong side of history. Honestly when I read the headline, I assumed it was in the US www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Let this sink in - Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are choosing to push 50,000 children into poverty - but won't ask multi-millionaires and billionaires to pay a little bit more tax. Absolutely sickening.

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty. So I asked the Chancellor — who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter — if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

The shame of it. Labour is dead.

Congratulations to @pollytoynbee.bsky.social, whose energetic campaign to get @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social ousted as leader of the Labour Party (including spreading malicious lies about him, leading to Labour's 2019 General Election loss) helped pave the way for the ToryLite coup... and these cuts! 👏👏👏

Oh. My. God. These people are MPs. MPs!

Starmer, Lammy and Sunak must face accountability in The Hague.

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.

Alexander Armstrong. How dare you? On behalf of all those who really are extremely poor, how f**king dare you?

I'll tell you who knew: every Jeremy Corbyn supporter who warned you that Starmer was just going to continue with the Tory shit-mill we've been wrung through for years, you 'centrist' fuckwits. www.dumptheguardian.com/commentisfre...

Corruption.

Fund welfare, not warfare. My piece for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/03/guns...

Israel is deploying tanks in the West Bank — and people ask us why we’re still marching?

"Knowing what we know now" is just code for "Keir Starmer and the other radicalised people in the cabinet have told us to change our policy"

Should you have asked this question before you all jointly lifted him up and threw him through the door at Number Ten? Maybe!

Lammy is devoid of personal principles, he will parrot whatever he is instructed to say by Vance, or Trump or Musk or Netanyahu. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From "I'd march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans" to spending Valentine's Day posting gratuitous transphobia about a doctor and a newsreader on a hate site run by a fascist. It's really *quite* the journey.

“You can’t massacre people, film yourself doing it, broadcast it to the world, confess to your actions, and then simply go about your life, sitting next to me at a cafe in Brussels,” says Dyab Abou Jahjah, president of the foundation. www.middleeasteye.net/news/hind-ra...

BBC - "PM pledges to close loophole that let Gazans settle in UK" How low and obscene can #KeirStarmer get? People who's homes have been destroyed by war criminals backed by the Labour party are denied refuge in UK. Shame on Starmer.

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind" - Henry James (There is fourth thing: to not elect anyone without an ounce of kindness in their soul)

Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

UK complicity with war crimes? Shurely shome mishtake? 🤔

Donald Trump’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court are a disgraceful affront to justice and accountability for those responsible for the worst crimes against humanity. We stand with the ICC and those fighting for global peace and justice.

Some on benefits are 'taking the mickey', says UK minister. Some may do so, millions do not but will be victimised by cuts. What about those abusing the tax system, govt procurement, buying honours, impoverishing people with profiteering, selling dud products, crashing companies?

Government can no longer ignore the science. The cost of inaction is incalculable. The recent Los Angeles fires alone could cost up to $275 billion, and as extreme weather events become increasingly common and more severe, the price tag will continue to spiral.

“An exhilarated hatred now parades as freedom, while the freedoms for which many of us have struggled for decades are distorted and trammeled as morally repressive ‘wokeism’.” Judith Butler on the first few weeks of Trumpism

We are appalled by the Foreign Secretary’s failure to condemn President Trump’s call for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. A statement from the Independent Alliance.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

That's X deactivated so I'm here and on Insta from now on. Onward. x

The UK is short of prison places and chronically short of doctors, so what do we do? Jail a doctor for non violent direct action taken to highlight risk to all of us from climate emergency 🤷‍♀️

There’s a Sickness at the Heart of Politics. It’s Called Oligarchy. My new video with the brilliant @doubledownnews.bsky.social (PS - also, please follow them) www.doubledown.news/watch/2025/j...

Time to stop the royals profiting off of our public land. #AbolishTheMonarchy

“Yes, it’s a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” - Amos Goldberg, Israeli Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Location: Parliament Square, London. Read full statement below)

Let's ditch the monarchy's £500 million per year bill and finally elect our head of state. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

America is a rogue nation.

🥀Labour are out of touch with the working class; it's time for real progressive change. We need to tackle the root cause of poverty, and that can’t be done without action to close the wealth gap between the ultra-rich and Scottish workers.

Britain’s welfare system is woefully inadequate and leaves many people facing serious hardship. It is both laughable and a disgrace that Starmer can demonise state welfare as “blighting our society” whilst ignoring tax avoidance by the super rich.

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling. The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?

😂

Incredible statement from David Lammy about Ukrainian children being taken by Russia, given the staggering number of Palestinjan children in Israeli jails right now, which he refuses to even acknowledge, nevermind condemn

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year. It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land. It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells. Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.
