If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

It is critical there is NOT a change in PM in the UK. If there was, it would start the calls for a general election for the new PM to get their own mandate. Replacing the PM THIS YEAR is part of Farage and the far rights plan to force a general election on 2027. New PM in 2026 and the GE in 2027.

Union founder slams private equity milking UK foster care for profit. Privatised foster placements can cost double the local authority placing. Successive govts have pushed privatisation. Children in need treated as commodities for profits.

Don’t pay any attention to a Finditoutnow poll which shows Reform winning in the Gorton & Denton byelection. The sample is just 143 people and the top three are blurred into margin of error.

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/28/d...

🔴Trump’s Downfall Will Come Much Quicker Than Anyone Thinks The growing backlash against ICE’s killing of Alex Pretti will be a turning point in public opinion towards the President, predicts @alexhh.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/01/27/t...

Trump says the situation with Iran is “in flux”. He’s looking for a deal over nuclear processing, that’s it. He has a lot of blood on his hands there, all those poor Iranian protesters he called out on to the streets saying help was on the way. They were slaughtered by the regime.

FFS vaccinate your children! The UK is among several countries to lose elimination status for measles today, the WHO has said. It comes following a sustained surge in cases and an increasing number of deaths. Let's not forget that Reform had an anti-vaxer speaking at their conference last year...

The real reason Trump and MAGA are so quick to blame Minneapolis shooting victims Alex Pretti and Renee Good were immediately vilified — and their killings at the hands of the state justified — by the Trump administration and its supporters.
