@tomdaviese17.bsky.social Hello, we are now living the worst days of our lives in Gaza. 🇵🇸😥. Because of the famine that is worsening day by day, we feel fear, hunger, and despair. We struggle daily to survive. 😔 Donate so we can live. I need your help. 🙏🏻💔😭 bsky.app/profile/hham...

So, let me get this straight, Labour are taking money from disabled people and now they are taking carers away? Almost like they want people to die.

There is nothing more middle class and patronising than trying to ventriloquise working class people to justify your own increasingly right wing politics.

The claim by Yvette Cooper that there is a link between immigration and higher levels of inactivity (related to sickness and disability) has absolutely no basis in evidence or data. Just retrofitting the evidence to the policy...

They're asleep now_my five kids Not because they're safe, but because they're overwhelmed by exhaustion This isn't a crib. It's a corner of a tent, fragile I'm just a father trying to hold on, hoping someone cares. They've fallen asleep without food Vetted Molly shah www.chuffed.org/project/rebu...

These clowns are going to destroy care and higher education trying to impress racist pensioners who hate their guts and don’t give a fuck what they do, who will vote Reform regardless.

Seriously think Galbraith gets in my all-time Orient XI now over more than 40 years attending. We've been blessed to have him these past two years

Privileged to have been at such a historically significant football match yesterday. People are quite rightly making a huge fuss about the first ever clearly offside goal to have been allowed. #lofc

Not a single mention of non-top flight football in today's Observer Sport. Not even in the results section. On a weekend on which more than 70,000 people will have attended playoff games

Remembering the 56, 40 years on from the Bradford fire. A horrible day.

Fucking hell. I know nobody’s in greasy overalls for you to fetishise, Labour, but this is still an industry full of working people on marginal incomes that you are voluntarily destroying, you dumb tech-fetishising goons. You just sold us for corporate strip-mining. Up the workers.

Today's Labour Party are not the same Labour Party of Gordon Brown. He believed we're demeaned by the existence of child poverty in the UK and sought to introduce progressive taxation measures to reduce poverty and social inequality. Starmer's Labour have abandoned those aspirations.

Spotted near the Emirates Stadium today ahead of Arsenal Women’s match against Manchester United women. Keep transphobia out of women’s football! 🏳️‍⚧️⚽️🏳️‍⚧️

Ruben Dias moaning about the sun being hot may have surpassed Tall Paul knocking out that old cunt at Ipswich as my season highlight

UFTW

Fresh from voting against the employment rights bill, the man of the people once again chooses to shit on working class people. You’re being had lads.

‘The whole city was touched’: Bradford prepares to mark 40 years since Valley Parade fire

Confronted with a choice of cutting taxes for second homes owners or funding eg youth clubs for working class kids Farage chooses... 👇🏻

Glad we're still in the tie anyway. Stockport have - twice - been the best visiting side at Brisbane Road this season

If VAR had been in operation, that would probably still have been 2-2 (our goal disallowed but we'd have had another penalty) so case still (perpetually) unproven #lofc

Same

If you were shocked by my film on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, you haven’t been paying attention | Louis Theroux

This is very good, and a reminder of what a malign role club grandees such as Alex Ferguson played

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, says EU’s former top diplomat

Newcastle fans are right to complain about their owners changing their crest. But, you know, they are war criminals. Be good if more complained about that

Two decades of the Glazers: a debt of morals at United with football paying the bill

This is my main beef with guys like McSweeney. Literally any of us can read what polls say, or listen to a focus group. The "special skill" appears to be doing so without any consideration of the non-electoral consequences.

Remember this student who the Trump-Vance administration detained for writing an op-ed? She’s just been freed

NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI. The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard. futurism.com/soundcloud-a...

'What does it say about a society that sells eclairs inciting destruction while... children in Gaza wait in lines at community kitchens, holding out empty pots and plastic tubs for their allocation of one meal for the day... unable to enjoy even one cookie?' www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Note that the “free speech on campus” people like Friedersdorf, Chait, Weiss, still blame this on “the excesses of woke.” Not a one - to my knowledge - has admitted they were actually wrong.

cn: sui, dwp She did everything "right" here. Informed the DWP of doing permitted work, as they ask. But it was wrongly recorded, she was sanctioned, and it began a spiral where she died malnourished and desperate, with no food in the house. This is what dealing with the DWP does to people.

All of which should mean I am no way nervous about tomorrow, right? Yeah, good luck with that …

Ali Samoudi silenced on the anniversary of Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder. According to the CPJ @pressfreedom.bsky.social - Ali is the latest of at least 84 Palestinian journalists to be arrested by Israeli forces over the 18 months since Oct 2023. #pressfreedom buff.ly/eUAPS4c

This Labour government's cruel welfare cuts will non only punish sick and disabled people, it will make it harder for people to work - including many of the DWP's own staff who rely on PIP to work. @adrianramsay.bsky.social and I spoke in Diane Abbott's vital debate this week.

Fao @jrsdavies.bsky.social

I don't think it can be overstated how much things are what they are because elites had their brains exposed to criticism on the internet and responded with this (which applies to them, not you, of course. you are a pig person who should shut up ). www.nytimes.com/2022/03/18/o...

Seven years ago, Leyton Orient finished 13th in the National League and Stockport came fifth in National League North. Tomorrow's kind of a good news story whatever happens

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Just thinking about the global anti progressive anti woke sentiment and the growth in nostalgia fetishism. I wonder if its that for the first time in history we have such a clear link to the recent past both in terms of the huge rise in how long average people live and the visual documentation of it
