I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

Warsaw is both medieval hunting lodge and Cyberpunk 2077

Sanctions now.

The war with Iran has brought 15 US military sites across the UK countryside into the spotlight: here's a visual guide that shows where they are, and what they're used for 📊 🗺️ - with @harryfoxdavies.bsky.social, @robevansgdn.bsky.social and Andrew Witherspoon www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hope those brave lads are getting danger money dealing with that blood crazed Hamas terrorist

Sharing with Alt Text to increase visibility. Fuck these death machines, especially in the UK where the need to have either of the top two is extremely limited.

At this point, every country in Europe should be imposing a no-fly on the USAF, impounding and disabling their aircraft, and expelling all US military personnel from bases. The US should be made a pariah state.

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Borders are fake. No human being is illegal on stolen land. Being a citizen or resident of the US isn't a prize or a lifetime achievement award. If you can't live with people different from you, you're just a bigot. And, if we don't want so many refugees, we should stop fucking up their countries.

'I had sympathy for doctors when it was Tories punishing them, but now it's my team's turn to punish them, so they can get fucked' And yes, there's actually plenty of support for them from the public

Is it ok to make comparisons to history now, or is it still antisemitic

It's okay to have hope. It's okay to look at something and see what could be, as long as you're working towards that goal instead of pretending it's already here. Hope is a powerful weapon against fascism. Despair isn't more sober or more rational than hope is. It's just more defeatist.

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

Israel's new law imposing the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of fatal attacks is a dangerous development of its apartheid system. It is discriminatory, racist, and cruel. Expressions of concern are not enough. The Labour government must act to end Israel's impunity.

people finding out a science fiction writer they like has bad and incoherent politics

Do you see how this went from an insane conspiracy theory so deranged that anyone mentioning it had invalidated their right to be heard, to today’s agreed basic common sense, and yet nobody was even slightly wrong about any of it at any point between these diametrically opposed positions

I note that even as the lads are now admitting what happened, they still have to say “destroy Corbynism”, because that - while correct - is not quite as correct as “Labour officials and MPs uniting with the right wing press and working together to ensure the Labour Party lost the General Election”.

These signs have appeared near a military base in Fairford, where U.S. B-52H and B-1B warplanes have been regularly flying from, with the blessing of Keir Starmer, to bomb Iran #illegalwar #complicity #warcrimes

Number one mistake Zelenskyy has made since 2022 is not going back in time and making sure that the American political establishment, commentariat and intelligentsia developed a deeply irrational infatuation with Ukraine that has absolutely no correlation to Ukrainian behavior, goals, or ambitions.

I hope we're all enjoying the experience of living in the first 15 minutes of a 1980s docudrama the BBC is only allowed to air once.

Top UK journalist Laura Kuenssberg: "Why would Israel say something that is not true?"

One of the books targeted is a graphic novel of 1984. I kid you not.

Working for a living shouldn’t be taxed more than owning things for a living. Nobel Prize–winner Joseph Stiglitz calls out the injustice. The UK should listen and bring Capital Gains Tax rates in line with Income Tax rates & add NICs to profits from ownership too.

Labour and the Lib Dem’s MUST put country before party and stand aside for the Greens to beat Reform

Last year: people working from home is destroying the economy Now: work from home to save the economy

A youth came up to me and asked if they can use my hotspot to contact their mom. I was like “oh yeah no problem” they then said “sorry you’re just like, so visually queer so i knew you were probably pretty safe” 🥺 protect kids at ALL costs, yall.

Europe spent years debating whether the energy transition was affordable. Spain quietly answered the question: gas now sets its electricity price in only 7% of hours. Strategic autonomy doesn’t arrive via summit communiqués. It’s built in advance — in wind farms, solar parks, and grid investment

that's a US bomber avoiding the airspace of every country except britain

The grotesque chaos of a Labour council - a Labour council! - hiring lawyers to scuttle round a city handing out injunction notices to its own affiliated members

There are now over a million internally displaced persons in Lebanon. There are some 5-6 million people in total in Lebanon. That’s around 20% of the total population. At least. It’s barely been 2 weeks. The curse of having Israel as your neighbour.

How it started / How it’s going

“I reduced their military by 700%, bigly reductions, no other president could have achieved”

“The only thing prohibiting swimming on Amity beach is the deadly shark. But it is completely open for swimming should the shark stop sharking.”

‘As a thought experiment, imagine if there were aliens, actual fucking ALIENS attacking the Earth. Think about what a terror that would be.’

Telegraph really getting to the heart of the issue around the Iran conflict

"It's Immigrants robbing you."

🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms "I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"

Lammy is asked if UK forces are attacking sites in Iran. He confirms that yes, if we anticipate being attacked by Iran, we can attack sites there See how it works. We 'defensively' stop Iran retaliating after being attacked by the US/Israel, they respond so we start bombing them

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

I'm old enough to remember Labour telling us repeatedly that we need economic growth because without it, they wont be able to do anything else. Now they tell us that anti-growth immigration policies are needed for the same reason
