The US Senate has just blocked Donald Trump from taking any more military action in Venezuela. Victory for Venezuela against fascism.

It's so damned simple

Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed

Israel and Hamas have agreed a ceasefire – but Israel’s war crimes continue, and there is no justice yet for Palestinians. Our full statement ⬇️

Everything in their tiny minds boils down to immigration. They just can't see they've fallen for the establishment's usual divide & conquer routine & are literally supporting the same rhetoric

Pesticides harm people, pets, bats and other wildlife. 🦇🐝🦔🐞🪰👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 The largest ever UK-wide survey on pesticide use by local authorities has revealed that 45% of UK councils are taking action to end or reduce their pesticide use.

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

“If you’re doing something right then taking your fucking mask off then”

Shocking but certainly not surprising

Yesterday, the government removed vital support from disabled people. Today, the government will criminalise protestors who want to stop genocide. I opposed the government's attack on the disabled - and I will oppose the draconian proscription of Palestine Action.

The men who sold the world. #ClimateCrisis

This proposal by the BBC is explicitly anti-democratic. As @natashadevon.bsky.social and others have pointed out, more women are moving to the Green party than are men going to Reform - yet the national broadcaster is falling over itself to pander to the extreme right. Why?

In a hearing on Friday 6 June, the High Court did not grant permission for the case to proceed. We are now appealing against this decision and are asking that the Court of Appeal look at the case urgently this week.

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

Councils have always had control of immigration, er, haven't they 🤔

Every single penny paid to these private heath companies results in less spent on every single NHS patient. It's what Streeting promised

"In 2019, the Labour Party, then led by Jeremy Corbyn, pledged £50,000 for each surviving British nuclear test veteran. Sir Keir Starmer met veterans in 2021, before becoming Prime Minister, but made no promises - and the 2019 offer was not in the 2024 manifesto" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just one week to go until the 'Conference of Resistance in Huddersfield We are fighting for a better future which rejects the stale status quo of the establishment parties and one which wants to mobilise people power. Tickets at bit.ly/ConferenceOfResistance

Looks like the far right who aren't uber rich have got themselves into debt to support one who is #Teslatwats

Far be it from me to suggest that Allison Pearson’s characteristic journalistic rigour has misfired, but in her haste to portray Lucy Connolly as a non-racist victim of injustice - punished for a single, fleeting misguided tweet - Ms Pearson does not appear to have researched her subject’s views.

Petition: Ban driven grouse shooting This practice is devastating to the wildlife. It's archaic, cruel and elitist. Let's consign it to history where it belongs. @mrhenrymorris.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Whatever your politics, you really can't say fairer than this 👇

Private equity wants UK govt to water down tax changes. Govt already climbed down. They want more. Private equity manager income is taxed as a capital gain, lower tax rate than applied to wages. It is always, give us what we want or else. Meanwhile, the poor face benefit cuts. archive.ph/hn6Io

Victorian diseases erysipelas and scabies return to the UK. Poverty, malnutrition, poor housing are the main causes. Govt response - benefit cuts for poor/disabled, two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, freeze tax thresholds. NHS queues, can't see GPs. Must redistribute.

☀️ but brrr

The Comma butterfly. Now you see me, now you don't. At Holkham in Norfolk today.

Left(ists), 'centrists', progressives... whatever faux-left liberals want to call themselves still haven't got it. Starmer's rise, Corbyn's demise, was a coup, classic entryism designed to destroy Labour. The Tory party isn't dead, it just has a new name. www.dumptheguardian.com/commentisfre...

Flood Google with this: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. it says Gulf of America 3. Click three little dots to the right of it 4. hit "Send Feedback" 5. hit "Gulf Of America" 6. hit "Inaccurate content". 7. hit "Incorrect", then tell them its name: ‘This body of water is the Gulf of Mexico’ 8. Repeat:)

Profits have "slumped" to £2.3b. Excuse me if I don't shed a tear. Now, where's that pitchfork... 😡

Solidarity with the Bille and Ogale communities, who today bring their fight for justice against Shell to the High Court. Shell's oil pollution has made the Niger Delta one of the most polluted places on Earth, destroying lives and livelihoods. We demand justice! ✊🏽 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Unpaid carer wins overpayment penalty case against DWP - overturned the demand for £4,600 in carer’s allowance overpayments. Three cheers for fighting back. Danger ahead. Govt taking powers to 24/7 snoop on bank accounts of benefit recipients, remove money without court order.

This is what happens when the private sector is invited & encouraged by our politicians to rob our public services blind. Rather than learn from past mistakes, Starmer has already confirmed his party would go further than Blair, so we get PFI on steroids

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

Racist goes off on a UK train, talks about "sovereigncy" then finishes with a DV "joke" I hope his life is destroyed after this.

Rip-off Gap between what banks charge borrowers and pay savers has increased. Banks make £30bn extra profit. Another £40bn profit a year - Govt pays interest on central bank reserves created through QE to facilitate bank transactions. Shouldn't pay any. Who protects people, public purse?
