What happens when a Green Party council inherits a Freeport? Mid Suffolk is breaking new ground – and some old assumptions. 🟢 Read more from the UK’s first Green majority council by Richard Winch: @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Former Business Secretary Badenoch’s dept wrote to Treasury after Dyson lobbying over tax breaks. The rich demand tax cuts and changes in law, Ministers jump. Poor get real wage/benefit cuts, NHS queues, crumbling schools ... Minister heap misery. Who governs? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And there we have it... An OVERWHELMING MAJORITY and a "mandate for a generation" Congratulations Sadiq Khan 👏🏻 #ShittyExpressPollMeansShittyExpressPoll

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?

Thames Water diverted millions of pounds pledged for environmental clean-ups to pay bonuses & dividends 187 criminal convictions since 1989, routinely dumps sewage in rivers/seas, neglects investment. Protected by successive govts, customers fleeced. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

What happened to this country?

He’s such a loser. The world laughs at 45…this is who he picks to lead US Defence.

Best put down in the history of Twitter! 🤣🤣

More chief constable disgrace it would seem. #SackAlisonFernandez Devon and Cornwall Police chief Jim Colwell suspended www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thankfully, there's a ceasefire with Hezbollah & Israel. Let's pray it stays that way.

Working hard to get work to a point I can delegate it so I can focus on #InvasionOfTheDemonicCrittersFromHell I managed to put some time into the pistol feedback today. #VR #Gaming #Oculus #Quest youtu.be/4bz08EwroHs?...

This channel under our cattle grid is usually a trickle at worst. A shift of 14°c in 36 hours melted 20cm of snow overnight, add some heavy rain and you get this. Very easy to see how major flooding happens.

#FBPE is not a cheap tool to get more followers; it's a sign of solidarity among progressives in their fight against populism & hatred. We support the EU and democratic values and cooperate with other movements. Ultimately, it's not the hashtag but the content of one's timeline that is important.

To all those looking to find their Twitter followers + following over here... Sky Follower Bridge = brilliant 3rd party tool The Chrome extension and Firefox add-on both work brilliantly (the latter wasn't as good at first, but I've just used it and was great) www.sky-follower-bridge.dev

it's also problematic because BlackRock links in with #PeterThiel #Palantir #TuftonSt & #Infosys owned by SUnak's family

Spain fines five budget airlines, including Ryanair, £150m for charging passengers for hand luggage and seat reservations. They have been price gouging and misleading customers for years. Akin to buying beans and paying extra for the tin at the checkout. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There's a fully-funded PhD Scholarship for Black British Applicants at my partner's law school. Pass it on to anyone who might find it useful. Could change someone's life. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DKP136/p...

Remember, this is the sytem Farage is proposing for the UK

In the real world, if you leave a pub because everybody is screaming abuse, there are constant fights, and you get no service because the spoiled brat of a landlord too busy sucking up to Nazis... nobody accuses you of vanishing into an elitist echo chamber. Same applies online.

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry. That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827. Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems. Most people want to end the scandal.

I see. Incredible.

Some private children’s homes "profiteering" by charging local authorities £15,000 a week to look after one child. 83% of children’s homes owned by companies. Govt tells companies to voluntarily reduce profiteering - no chance. End privatisation scam. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Raw sewage from new homes being flushed into river. Back to the 19th century. Did Thames Water and developers not know? That's what you get with privatisation of essential services, deregulation of planning. Govt promising more housing deregulation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A word of advice to the Pro-Palestinian and Just Stop Oil campaigns.... next time you protest make sure you take 100 tractors with you and you'll not only get wall to wall positive coverage from BBC news but they'll also lobby the government for you too.

Let's hope Nigel Farage can help farmers like he helped fishermen!

This one is also going round a lot lately 😆

🚜🙄🚜🙄🚜🙄🚜🙄 I don’t wish to mock ….. but ….. the STATe of it! If those wellies have ever been inside a cow barn, I am Beyoncés twin sister. Wish some Parlt procedure existed to shut the F***er up !

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Let’s also remind ourselves how many wealthy people, like Dyson for example acquired land placed a couple of cows, a few chickens and sheep and were able to claim EU subsidies, as a farm. Common practice for wealthy landowners while we were EU members.

Farmers that voted for brexit, now up in arms about inheritance tax.

I have just set up this account on Bluesky. I won’t be deleting my Twitter account because there’s a bit of history within it. I will also confirm on Twitter & Facebook this is my account.

💥 NEWS! 💥 Delighted to announce that we have TWO new Presidents at European Movement UK: Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve Our former President, Michael Heseltine stepped down at the AGM this weekend. Onwards and definitely upwards! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new-european...

The media is the problem. They’ll never hold right wing politicians to account, because the majority are owned by right wing billionaires, & said billionaires don’t want to share the wealth. The bias, propaganda & hypocrisy is off the charts. The media needs to be held to account for their mess.

Hope this is gaining the traction it desperately needs!

@raynorsunshine.bsky.social hello darling. All good I hope? Xxx

Not often I agree with William Hague but Peter Mandelson would be an appalling choice as the UK's Washington ambassador. He's spent the last 15 years ingratiating himself with billionaires, including Putin-linked oligarchs, & lobbying for super-dodgy corporations, including Peter Thiel's Palantir.

What the hell is a fun run! 🤷😂😂

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

When Britain Brexited, it tried, very consciously, to pull Ireland out of Europe along with it. It tried to force an open border, with checks then on Irish goods going to Europe. It would have been the slow death of the economy and sovereignty. 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2024/11/15/d...

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Well, colour me shocked. 🤷

Can you all imagine Marjorie Taylor Greene getting more powers! Who needs a nuke when they send her in to calm things 😱😱😱

"Build it & they will come" Bluesky has built a social media space that people really like. And they're coming to it in their millions. The converse is also true. "Destroy it & they will leave" As Twitter/X is finding out.
