Reminder In Jan 2025, Keir Starmer launched AI Growth Zones (200 bids on sites to date) This is the largest industrial land grab in a generation, and most communities have no idea it’s happening. Thread europeanpowell.substack.com/p/britains-a...

'People in this country deserve so much more.' @greenpartyhan.bsky.social reacts to the King's Speech.

Look at the state of this 🤦

This weeks @_BoldPolitics has some ideas that would have made this Kings Speech a whole lot better to end Rip Off Britain! youtu.be/-LhsxyjO5Mg

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Our government is still supplying arms to Israel as it continues to bomb, starve & dispossess the Palestinian people. That is why thousands of us continue to demonstrate — and that is why we reject disgraceful attempts to malign our movement for peace. metro.co.uk/2026/05/13/c...

This popped up and made me laugh. It might be more fun and games

Who Governs? JP Morgan could scrap £3bn London HQ if Starmer replaced by PM ‘hostile to banks’. To appease bankers Tory/Labour govts have abolished post-2008 crash reforms. Banks make mega profits, don't want to pay windfall taxes, want compliant govts. Who will curb corporate power?

Just looking at this photo again, I have to wonder: Is Luke Akehurst actually 'The Red Skull' from the Marvel Universe? Certainly their politics are somewhat aligned...

The 11 Labour-affiliated unions – which include Unite, Unison and the GMB – are expected to issue a joint statement on Wednesday saying “at some stage” the party will have to put a plan in place to elect a new leader. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If only Ed Miliband and Rachael Reeves had actually ‘broken the link’ - our energy bills would be lower now - I’ve shown them both how ’the link’ added £43 billion to our energy bills in 2023. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

#PalantirOut - that's what should be happening, but instead they're been allowed full access to individuals' records. "All-round access was originally intended only for NHS England employees with security clearance" www.ft.com/content/8ce1...

This is the issue with Labour

Starmer illustrating that when you’re desperate for people to support you, you’ll do anything; even things you said you wouldn’t

Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

This is an extraordinary allegation, and the guy making it (Ben Habib) has openly goaded Farage and Harborne to sue him if it's not true.

Nigel Farage faces questions over failure to declare use of donor’s helicopter. What will he blame this time? He didn't declare £5m gift from Thailand-based billionaire. His participation in in the House of Commons is low. May be he has memory lapses.

Basically what's happened here is that a bunch of hereditary peers who have recently been kicked out of the Lords have been awarded life peerages. Since hereditary peerage lines go to the first born son, they're all men. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Just gonna leave the page here that shows Dan Neidle gave Luke Akehurst a £2,500 donation in 2024, as it may be relevant! publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregm...

Keir Starmer says he is nationalising British Steel so that it can work in the national interest. @brianleishmanmp.bsky.social is spot on: It's time for the government to also bring water, NHS, Royal Mail, energy, buses, and rail, into public ownership - serving us, not private shareholders.

Health minister Zubir Ahmed is latest Streeting ally to resign, saying Starmer's position is 'wholly untenable'. Part of the right-wing coup to ensure that Mandelson protege becomes PM without proper contest. Streeting is tainted, will push labour even more to the right. Must change policies.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

I know we all had low expectations, but it really is quite remarkable just how badly Labour have fckd it all up.

I don't think it's the dad part that's the insult...

I should clarify. When I say, "Poor Starmer" I mean, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's been 16 months since I left X, and I feel so much better for it. I hadn't realised just how big an impact the daily tsunami of hate, trolling, sealioning and strategic incomprehension was having on my state of mind. I cannot understand why anyone who values their mental health is still there.

But at least he's not a total and utter c∆nt, Piers.

Everything about the 2019 GE needs investigating. Tories, Reform and Labour Together were all complicit.

The right to protest is a manifestation of the right to freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech. One that right is taken away, we will never get it back

Starmer's resignation is not enough. What needs booting out is the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war. My piece for Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/05/star...

I am borg

What a fckn shtshw

Left: The Daily Mail absolutely outraged that Zack Polanski potentially might not have paid up to £4k in council tax (not confirmed) Right: The Daily Mail owner 'Lord' Rothermere registered as living in Bermuda to avoid paying UK tax (despite having a massive mansion in the UK).

Poor Starmer

Has she "knifed him in the front"?

Who's paying for his ticket?

Strange is it not… Racism is at the core of Reform, but thanks to media, none of it ever sticks to the party itself Yet Polanski spent much of local election campaign defending himself from constant accusation that Greens are institutionally antisemitic jonathancook.substack.com/p/if-starmer...

Habib was closely associated with both Farage and Johnson at the time. As much as he's a pointless asshole, I think he has something here. So ... Foreign money used to rig the 2019 Election. And Farage bending over for cash like a cheap hooker. So THAT'S what this meeting was about ...

Whilst BBC fail to show this award winning humanitarian documentary they’re currently airing 3x1 hour series about the worlds richest man, Elon Musk!! This highlights BBC editorial priorities, what they see as public interest and where our licence fee money goes!! open.substack.com/pub/councile...

E.ON to buy Ovo to create biggest UK energy supplier. Fewer suppliers means less choice, higher prices. More profits going abroad (Germany). Replace energy retailers with not-for-profit organisations, no shareholders, lower prices. Even better, nationalise energy.

Turns out "I'm not Jeremy Corbyn" was actually quite a shit policy.

Reid: "The cabinet is going to go ahead at 9.30.. presumably Shabana Mahmood will say to the PM this is ridiculous, you really need to set a timetable. I dont know how much support she will have in the cabinet" If only there was someone close to a cabinet minister you could ask?

There's a reason the media is universally portraying Andy Burnham as a competent, safe pair of hands to take over Labour. It's because he is no threat to Establishment interests. He constitutes the status quo. #DitchLabour

Ed Balls: "I was in the treasury as a minister in the Autumn of 2006" Uh oh.

Is it too soon to ask?

Do you think Starmer is sitting on his own thinking to himself, "What's going on? I made such an uplifting impassioned speech earlier today..."

If you bring a scorpion into your inner circle, don't be surprised when it stings you.

🤣🤣🤣

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years. Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all. People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

Apparently the BBC thought Elon Musk needed a bit more publicity, so they comissioned 3 hours worth just for the world richest man… and the licence payer gets to fund it!!! Aaahhh, thats nice!!! (BBC2 now) bbc.com/audio/play/p...
