For anyone to claim the EHRC is independent is farcical when Kemi Badenoch admitted she ensured the right people were in place and Falkner confirmed yesterday they changed the board to pursue this "course correction".

I want to share this comment from our FB account. Which shows there are real people behind who the loyalists are currently hating on. Those people include innocent children who know nothing about why they are subjected to hate. Loyalists haven't changed, they just adapted for now

I still don’t understand why people can’t just come here from other countries & stay. Personally, the fraud, & waste is all the money spent adjudicating citizenship. Think of all the money we’d save & tax revenue that would generate. It’s like private health insurance companies. Like, whyyyy?

🔥Daisy Cooper quotes Best for Britain's research in her response to Rachel Reeves. 📊 A deeper relationship with the EU will deliver 2.2% growth according to our research, equivalent to £25 billion per year in extra tax revenue. 🇪🇺 Want growth? Cut trade barriers with the EU.

The Trump regime is harming innocent Americans, targeting reporters and peaceful protesters. Video after video keeps surfacing, widely shared on TikTok and Reddit. These aren’t threats, they’re people walking home, holding signs, clearly marked as press. And still, they’re being targeted.

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

If protesters really want to deface public property they’ll glue spray painted gold rococo shit all over it.

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn. Some write letters. Some carry water. Some raise their voices. Some raise the spirits. Some paint banners, others hold them. Every role matters. This is a chorus, not a solo. Show up how you can. We need you all. #Resist

What’s behind Keir Starmer’s decision to back nuclear power? Two words: CORPORATE LOBBYING. Sunlight is free: solar power is diffuse and widespread and doesn't require massive corporations to deliver it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Whether water is in private hands or public ownership, it needs public control. Worker/Customer elected directors on company boards and OFWAT. Worker/Customer vote on exec pay. No exec will get undeserved pay or bonus. Govts pay lip service to democracy leftfootforward.org/2025/06/nati...
