Meanwhile, our local hospitals in Bath, Swindon & Wilts are planning to outsource essential #NHS bank staff to private company Pulse (Bank Partners), owned by private equity interests - shameful move to save money on staff pensions. We're taking action alongside UNISON & a former hospital governor

Is anyone really surprised that #Trump was outsmarted by a single-cell organism? #Algae #Resist

Starmer was the most transphobic prime minister by a very wide margin. Add Gaza, self-ID, attacks on neurodivergent & disabled people and harming refugees & immigrants tells us he was the biggest bully too. Yet some centrist journalists can’t figure out why he became so unpopular.

I presume Nigel Farage will be expressing his 'cold rage' at the Islamophobic attacks in Edinburgh. Not to do so would make it appear that he is highly selective in his condemnation of violence. #r4today #wato #bbcpm

Legacy is everything

VJay Bombs goes to Washington… 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Happy Summer solstice from Glastonbury Tor where cheering was heard as the sun came up. It was very busy, very vibrant and a fabulous way to welcome the longest day. I took lots and lots of photos but here is the first one. More to follow later. #summersolstice #summersolstice2026 #glastonburytor

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This week US intelligence service classified Israeli spying as the most dangerous ever, classifying it as CRITICAL The same week France discovered Israeli election interfering all over Europe, including the SNP elections Meanwhile, Isreali-funded Keir Starmer chnages our laws to shield Isreal

Albania is bringing that real energy ✊

(📢) Please RT this 200-post thread on the eve of Elon Musk becoming humanity’s first trillionaire. I’m a Musk biographer, and my opinion—based on my research—is that he’s one of the most dangerous men alive. I urge folks to consider this before aiding in enriching him further.

What two scenes have the same vibe. I'll go first:

Sorry to re-up this, but the media silence on the massive, country-changing shift towards arbitrary justice and authoritarianism is almost the most astonishing aspect of the case. The new dispensation is being normalised even as it's happening. Please spread it far and wide. We need to know. Thanks

You may well ask yourself what the hell is going on. I do. But it becomes comprehensible only when you set aside the thought that this is a Labour government. If we saw this anywhere else, we'd know exactly what to call it. Rightwing authoritarianism. So why is Labour imposing it on the UK?

France accuses Israeli firm of interfering in Scottish elections and targeting SNP. Cyber agency says BlackCore targeted John Swinney, as well as interfering in New York and French elections. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

You know all those NHS improvements to waiting lists and additional operations claimed to be as a result of using Palantir’s FDP platform? Guess what. 854% of the claimed wait list improvements were at one hospital, co-chaired by Matthew Swindells, concurrently acting as an adviser to Palantir”

🇬🇧 As well as being complicit in the Israeli Regime’s Genocide in Gaza, and illegal occupations, murders, and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and Lebanon, Starmer and his uk government are complicit in the Israeli Regime’s illegal targeting of the Scottish Government and independence movement 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Should X be banned? Yes. And it should have happened in January when non-consensual sexual imagery proliferated on the site. The government’s inaction on what is becoming increasingly a vehicle for violence and hate is appalling. Much more needs to be done. And quickly.

The latest installment of a story that just gets grimmer and grimmer. If you thought such appointments ended with the Tories, you'll be sorely disappointed. www.ft.com/content/747e...

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?

1 All pensioners are right wing? I'm 77 now and have been a socialist since I was born It’s not about left/right wing it's about morality It’s about wanting to do the right thing looking after humanity making sure every human being has their basic needs guaranteed

In an era of multiparty politics - first past the post is utterly broken. It is time for Proportional Representation. The climate crisis & our inequality crisis cannot wait for another general election. Failing to fix our democracy immediately will betray future generations.

The health department’s top official, appointed by Wes Streeting, was a shareholder at a private equity-owned children’s care home business, which imposed sharp fee increases on local authorities.

I mean, the EHRC guidance has thrown in that religious based homophobia is also allowable now too rofl, and that thinking the person is a homophobe solely due to their religious based homophobia is discrimination against them I feel like I was having a stroke typing that ngl All stems from MF

Thermo Fisher has responded to research integrity activists who spotted apparent manipulation in its antibody catalog: "In ... preparing antibody images for publication on our website, some images may have been adjusted to clarify for presentation purposes." More: cen.acs.org/research-int...

In 2006, the film Idiocracy depicted the White House in a fictional time when the United States was incredibly tacky and stupid. Frankly, they underestimated what the reality of the United States being incredibly tacky and stupid would really look like.

When one compares the number of interviews that BBC's Radio 4 Today programme conducts with business leaders compared with the number of interviews it conducts with union leaders then one could come away with a distorted view of the economy.

We are in stuck in an affordability crisis with people struggling to pay for food and heating. But MPs think it's funny to drink at a discount on the taxpayer and vote on crucial issues. It's wrong. #DontDrinkandVote

AMEN!!! How fast can copies for additional sites be made?

That they work with Reform to keep the largest party - the SNP out of power in Fife tells you everything you need to know about this Liebour party. High jacked the name under Blair and are better known as Liebour now!

The Rejoin petition jumped from 70K to 75K yesterday. It needs to hit 100K by June 8th when the petition closes in order to get a debate in Parliament. The 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote is June 23rd.

Since May 7th twenty four Reform councillors have either resigned or been suspended. This result in Lancaster is what we need across the country.

Sky News just did an extended piece on the UK being the world's largest importer of jet fuel, with zero production capacity. They managed not to mention the closure 2 years ago of the Grangemouth oil refinery which produced jet fuel.

Just been the vets, we always make sure we park in the right place.

Water privatisation has been outright theft. Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership. No more failed regulation. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Please help change the guidance and mitigate for airborne transmission. Parliament is ignoring covid is airborne @houseoflords.parliament.uk pressat.co.uk/releases/cov...

The governments plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its an absolute disgrace MPs must step up to oppose it

Human rights organisations are "deeply concerned that changing how the ECHR is used by UK courts" is the thin end of the wedge. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

NHS England reducing waiting lists by removing patients from the waiting list. I wonder how long this can go on without it backfiring spectacularly?

Flying dog . Doggo can jump . 😍

England water companies to have one of worst ever years for pollution. The Environment Agency blames wet weather, ageing infrastructure and increased inspections. Last week companies hinted at water cuts because of dry spring/winter. People fleeced, profits keep rolling. archive.ph/TTIIs

Vulture Capitalism.
