youtu.be/bOHqE--T7-U This is where Reform will take Eng if allowed. This expert calls it ‘moral deregulation’ - it’s what Reform’s threat re detention centres amounts to. Vote and keep them out of any type of control.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 we are so effing stupid in this country.

This is admirably compassionate from Sunderland ❤️ The club's crest of a black cat has been turned into a black dog—a common metaphor to describe a state of depression—to mark Mental Health Awareness Week. A change shared by the club chaplin 👏

"A couple was detained together. The husband was in the room while they sexually assaulted his wife.. threatening to rape her.." Kifaya Khraim from the Women's Centre for Legal Aid & Counselling on the systematic sexual abuse & torture of Palestinians in Israeli jails

Environment Agency has not completed any prosecutions against water companies in England & Wales for pollution incidents occurring in the last five years. Companies rip-off people, dump sewage, still allowed to trade. Execs rewarded. Occasional corporate fines waived or deferred. archive.ph/db8Mt

Gordon Brown... When pushed on why their purdah breaking promise never came to fruition....You should have read the small print. 🤦‍♂️

It’s a sad fall - the party of Bevan, Barbara Castle, Jeanie Lee, Clare Short reduced & traduced by a thin-skinned guy called ‘Keir’ of all things

“Labour will always back you” says the man who wants to purge people like me from civil society organisations. A squalid amoral bigot whose resignation cannot come soon enough.

Figuring out how to make wild birds think decoys are real is the work of Sue Schubel, known as “Seabird Sue.” For the past decade, she’s made decoys for a global seabird restoration program that's helped some of the world's most endangered birds return to habitat from which they’ve been extirpated.

On the new SubwayTakes, Kareem Rahma and leader of the UK Green Party, Zack Polanski, discuss making dark money in politics more visible by giving a nod to one of George Carlin's best takes. If only we could make this a reality! #SheShed

NO voter ID is required to vote in Scotland.

Pretend we're a company, and this is what happened to us: "USA had become half Spirit Airlines, half Facebook, and half cable company."

"We have interviewed over 75 women who were detained.. all the women say the thing about sexual violence, including rape, sexual torture, sexual humiliation.. its systematic.." Kifaya Khraim from the Women's Centre for Legal Aid & Counselling on women being raped & tortured in Israeli jails

Vote - it is the 2 minutes every 5 years when you get an actual say in the fate of the country. Not voting is an act of passivity. If you sit out the very short active window part please stfu during the very long inactive part when we all get less than we hoped for!

Just vote

The Guardian is at it again. It always pitches itself as "progressive" until an actual progressive choice turns up. Then it works hard to smear and lie as much as the right wing newspapers.

Seriously we’re not surprised are we .

Once #Saudi Arabia was the main ally and its #oil blockade was used by the US to counter #communist expansion that finally led dismemberment of the erstwhile #Soviet Union, now it has blocked the same #US from using its bases to complete "Operation #Freedom". How tables turn. How sands shift.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump getting banned from Saudi Arabian air bases and air space after announcing Project Freedom.

Looks like MBS and Trump broke up. Seems like it started back when the Saudis pulled out of LIV Golf. Now I’m curious what happens with the Saudi’s $2B investment in Kushner. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Aye, but he was at an event which appears to have been sponsored by ‘Labour Together’ who see their role as recasting Labour as a right wing authoritarian Govt with link to tech bros & Epstein that is happy to support a genocide and dismantle the NHS …

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

This thread is so good I'm reposting it twice

Oh! Offord the Reform/Tory charlatan DOESN’T PAY TAX in Scotland! He doesn’t pay ONE PENNY towards the services he gets in Scotland. Taking voters for mugs.

The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Anecdotally I’ve spoken to a number of folk in the Lothians who have voted Labour/The Union in the past who are now voting SNP 1&2 because they see the need to keep Reform out & to let Scotland have some protection from the present iteration of Labour under Starmer et al.

Nigel Farage, openly stating he’ll override Holyrood to build migrant detention centres here in Scotland. I’m torn between being absolutely raging, & being delighted that he’s helping the pro-Independence movement with his pish. #ScottishElections #YouYesYet #IndyRef2 #May7th #Scotland #Reform

☆End the blockade ☆Free Cuba ✊️

Seeing a lot of Hegseth presser headlines. Feel the need to share a bit from the conclusion of Blood and Treasure.

Since Trump returned to office in January last year, Hegseth, has fired or forcibly retired 24 generals and senior commanders, with no performance-related reason given. About 60% have been Black or female. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hegseth: "As a direct gift from the US to the world, we've established a powerful red, white and blue dome over the Strait." If it wasn't for the US, the Strait of Hormuz would be open, oil would be under $60 a barrel and the world wouldn't stand on the precipice of a catastrophic recession.

Is Hegseth laying the groundwork to argue this is a totally different war so they can restart the countdown clock for the War Powers Act all over again?🤔

Badenoch on pro-Palestine marches: “It’s not the faith being attacked, it’s the people.” Badenoch on Tommy Robinson marches: “Criticism of religion is allowed in this country.” She maligns people protesting genocide but defends openly Islamophobic marches. She’s an absolute disgrace. #r4today

Starmer’s approval rating is on life support…..

Kemi Badenoch lying on #r4today in order to smear people marching in support of the Palestinians & against Israels genocide Pro Palestine marches are not held weekly, they do not march in front of synagogues & they do not result in the harassment of visibly Jewish people.

Reform pledges to open migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas. Reform using politics of revenge on areas that do not support it, a policy that would not withstand a legal challenge. Will they replace judges too to get their way? Kangaroo courts, lawlessness and anarchy await.

Good to see protest is still allowed in some countries….

While we're all talking about the Supreme Court and Callais sucking shit, make sure you read this new piece about how the Supreme Court and Callais are even worse than you thought ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

Keir Starmer to be prime minister at the next UK general election? No 1/10 Yes 11/2

Stubb flipped the question. ㅤ Europe should not only ask how to help Ukraine. It should ask what Europe needs from Ukraine. No army in Europe or the U.S. fights modern war the way Ukraine does now. ㅤ Ukraine is already teaching Europe how to survive.

HMS Iron Duke has been stripped of weapons and has not been to sea since 2025, despite no formal decommissioning announcement. Withdrawal from service, less than 3 years after a £103m refit, raises uncomfortable questions about the Royal Navy’s ability to sustain even its much-reduced surface fleet.

Pretty cool watching California's first solar-over-canal project succeed. Looking forward to more scale on the next go-round — currently two installations totaling less than one-third of a mile. www.fresnobee.com/news/califor...

Lambert: The Strait of Hormuz is going to be open and we’re going to control it. Mockler: In two weeks? Lambert: It doesn’t matter if it’s two weeks or two months. Mockler: It does actually matter because economists are saying if it's closed for a few more months, we're going into a recession

Which is the backwards country now, United States?
