2m UK pensioners live in poverty, 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension. Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending. Britons receive pension for fewer years than most.

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

Power is the rock on which truth founders. The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital. Here's what I've learnt about the industry in 40 years in journalism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you’ve enjoyed my videos over the last few years I’d love to see you at my live shows. My tour starts in a month and sales have been slower than last year - probably partly because I’m not on X anymore. But it’s a fun show and I’d love more people to see it! www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

The Mirror's Kevin Maguire argues the only way for Britain to return to its former prosperity is with a plan to return to the EU after Brexit proved to be a giant con that only leaves us poorer and weaker www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The UK's State Pension is the lowest in Europe with one of the highest starting ages. If it is unaffordable, why can all the other countries afford much better ones? Hint - The problem isn't the pension cost.

I want my freedom of movement back. I want your freedom of movement back. I want EU citizens' freedom of movement back. And I'll happily take Schengen & the Euro to make that happen. We won't get the great deal we had before, but whatever we accept will be better than what we have now. By a mile.

Hey, UK media! Are you just going to let Farage dump another steaming pile of populist bullshit on us *without ever* properly scrutinising his ideas or him…his funding, his riots, his links to Putin and Trump, his Brexit shitshow, his grifting side gigs, his lies, his ignorance…? Call. Him. TF. Out.

Can’t see how they can do a remake of threads , it would be like a Hollywood blockbuster and lose it’s terrifying realism, that’s what made it so good and a hard watch

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?

Is it time for Labour to undo Brexit?

Labour's ONLY reason not to #RejoinEU given is that it's in manifesto not to. So let's demand a Rejoin referendum, which is not in their manifesto, getting rid of that pathetic excuse. Please Sign and Share! Let's get it to 10k for a response... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Let's all share this, Labour said at the end of the debate that their only reason given, was that no to #rejoin was in their manifesto. So was no to customs union and no to single market. Please Sign and Share! Let's get it to 10k for a response...

Heathrow hotels quadruple prices as flight cancelled. Stranded passengers at Sofitel hotel near the airport asked to pay £700 a night for a standard room. Holiday Inn quadrupled prices. Capitalists have no ethics/compassion. No regulator would investigate. Boycott price gougers. archive.ph/tOFkD

Staggering really that Starmer would find this more difficult than cutting benefits to disabled citizens. No red lines on more goddamn austerity. Just on the supremely idiotic policy that is Brexit. www.politico.eu/article/germ...

Another hefty dose of Starmer gaslighting. Once more, this time in capital letters: BREXIT ISN'T WORKING!

You know what really worked? Freedom of movement. I miss it. The UK economy misses it. Everyone who's queued at an EU border misses it. Labour government? Not sure they've even heard of it.
