From Thursday to Sunday, a programme of Left politics, arts and cultural events takes place in Manchester, a week after Labour's annual party gathering in Liverpool. NB: I’m always amused when the Tories meet up in Manchester: they have had no Manc MPs for years. news.sky.com/story/bring-...

I've just used Good Law Project's tool to tell Keir Starmer that his ID scheme is a recipe for repression. Will you do the same? goodlaw.social/364f2b

Privatisation broke our water system. @labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it. Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

"Mandelson wasn’t “sacked”, he was ‘withdrawn’ from his role as Ambassador. Meanwhile, Mandelson retains his position as a Labour peer and continues to receive payment, with potential for future assignments. Apsana Begum STILL hasn’t had the Labour whip restored" via Ad Sinistram #SocialistSunday

This is Gaza in 1944. This is Gaza before Israel existed.

Gaza is starving open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza

Israel wants you to believe that airdrops and symbolic aid trucks will solve the famine in Gaza. Don't believe them. These measures are not meant to end hunger, only to quell growing global outrage as the genocide continues unchecked. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/dont...

It's not even surprising anymore...

Yesterday I went on an unexpected truffle hunt. On a foray arranged as part of the British Mycological Society's spring meeting in Norwich we were shown how to find False Truffles (Elaphomyces granulatus) in an area of mixed woodland. fungi.myspecies.info/all-fungi/el... #fungi #fungifriends

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨 This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️ 👉 www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

We really have lost all idea of public service, haven't we? Mandelson going with Starmer to visit Global Counsel's intermittent client Palantir, and now this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UK Foreign Office is still defending Israel by saying that its preventing aid reaching Gaza only "risks" violating international law. As Amnesty has said, this "is a war crime and amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population". #DCUKparliament

Instead of Healthcare you have their profits Instead of Social Care you have their profits Instead of Housing you have their profits Instead of Clean Water you have their profits Instead of Energy you have their profits The only solution, take their profits away. Nationalise.

I was fearing my new Thames Water Bill increase of 35%. Surprise! It's gone up from £438 to £639, around 47%. 😡 The Labour Government ("we will put money in people's pockets") stand by, doing nothing. Thames Water going to Court to try and get even higher increases.

The community note 🤌😘

We are nearing a precipice.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

International Women's Day rally in Belfast on Saturday the 8th of March. This year's message is "Solidarity Beyond Borders." Organise 🔥 🤝

How corporations can sue Governments. (ISDS and LCIA) I recently went on a live chat with a UK Government representative as part of a FOI request, my question was do UK SEZs and Freeports licenses contain ISDS clauses within them? He couldn't answer my question.

If you were paying attention over the last 16 months, you'd know that Biden, Blinken, Harris, Starmer Scholz, von der Leyen, et al - by their outspoken and logistic support for GENOCIDAL Israel and complete abandonment of the Palestinians (and Human Rights in general) - were paving the way for this.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the NHS will remain 1. publicly funded. 2. free at the point of delivery. Silent on what is happening in-between. NHS becoming a shell, handing contacts to private sector. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. Say NO to NHS privatisation.

The idea of a Labour government was supposed to address the needs of the working class. Not the companies that exploit us. There is absolutely no point in a Labour government with conservative economic and social policies. Change, my arse.

How justice 'works'.

*Nazi Germany around 1937 was a nice place to live if you didn’t care about democracy and were not Jewish. While life goes on normally for most Americans under Trump, if you are an immigrant of uncertain legal status, you are living on the edge of a personal holocaust* prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Happy #SocialistSunday!

When a government tells us, within the course of one week, that we can't have new hospitals but must have new runways, you know that it is not working on our behalf, but on behalf of economic power.

New UK pensions minister has called to scrap ‘rubbish’ triple lock on state pension. Labour/Tories gunning for pensioners, condemning them to poverty. The issue isn't Young v Old. It is justice, equity, humanity. Young will get old too & face premature death. Fight for rights. archive.ph/NmDpE

Not just a war crime. A complete erasure. A monstrous crime against humanity. Made possible by our UK government the US government and others supplying everything needed to commit this crime. This has been years in the planning. A deliberate, orchestrated act of destruction. Never, ever, forget.

Dear Keir Starmer, The public has never been asked about privatising the NHS, let alone given its permission. All evidence is that NHS privatisations is more expensive and has poorer outcomes for patients. Where is your voter mandate for doing what you are doing?

We don't need an inquiry. We need a government committed to making our country fairer and safer. Which was not the Tories, and it wouldn't be the far right either. It would be an ecosocialist government, if only we had one. uk.news.yahoo.com/child-sexual...

I am so utterly board of hearing about farage and #ReformUKKK. They have 5MPs. Same as the Greens and less than the Libdems. I am sure they would kill for this level of "air time" with such little achievement.
