60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity. Top 10% earn more than the other 90%. They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy. Tax the rich.

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

The very same commentators that spent years condemning anti-semitism in UK politics as a major national scandal, have suddenly lost interest now that it implicates one of their own www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-farage...

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit! 2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit! This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Paul Bettany on Radio 4 just now remembering The Jam "In late 70s/early 80s, London felt like a fight about to kick off all the time" The way people talk now, you'd think violent crime just been invented And BNP/National Front/Skinheads/White gangs/Race Riots never happened

"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you said 'fuck off back where you came from', I was sick and you said we should replace the NHS with private health insurance..."

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

But Fox News said...

UK Govt plan to reduce child poverty is welcome but that requires reduction in parental poverty. That can't be done without equitable distribution of income and wealth, stronger trade unions, progressive taxation, decent housing, education, healthcare, jobs and sound economy. Who will do that?

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

"To borrow a criticism, in his robust defence of Brexit freedoms, Starmer resembles Alec Guinness’s half-mad colonel in The Bridge on the River Kwai, protecting an edifice he has forgotten was built for the benefit of the other side."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Stephen Flynn criticises Nigel Farage from attacking children who speak more than one language #BBCQT "A man who aspires to be PM of these isle would pick a fight with school kids, would hold school kids up as an object to beat, absolutely repulses me and it should repulse all of you as well"

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.” Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water. AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects. So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends. See how this works?

This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I grew up in the 70s and 80s. If you weren't there, just a little clarification on that Spectator piece. Literally, NOBODY admired Hitler. Apart from nazis. Hope that helps.

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

“… and then he said, ‘No, it’s the FIFA World Cup Peace Prize.’”

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”. If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Senator Ruben Gallego has introduced Senate legislation to outlaw surveillance pricing. Surveillance pricing is yet another way for corporations to pull one over on you. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain the dangers of this shady practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cbtUYshYM8

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

Once more for the haters...

Hi Andrew Pierce, remember this article about Nigel Farage?

Errr... Would this not include someone who has Nigerian citizenship through her parents, and who has admitted to hacking Harriet Harman's website, a crime which at the time carried a maximum sentence of five years?

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent. It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

Funny how Netflix had no choice but to raise subscription fees, interrupt movies with ads, & crack down on password sharing, but they’ve got enough $$$ to buy Warner Brothers

In latest "Patriot" news: The CPS has named three more Ukip/Brexit Party MEPs who appear to have followed the script provided to Nathan Gill by Oleg Voloshyn when interviewed by pro-Russian TV in 2019, bringing the total to *eight*. 👀~AA www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Really wonderful news for a change:

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

Why are Labours attacks misfiring? Because Labour support genocide. Labour protect the power & wealth of the super rich. And all they do is attack the Green Party. Help us take the actual fight to Reform: join.greenparty.org.uk

If they ever got to the Hague this would be presented as evidence against them.

Thank you, Megan, for speaking truth. More of this please!!! #MSM

Reform UK councillor Andrew Harrison's business was fined £40,000 for hiring an "illegal immigrant." Almost like these people are shameless, two faced hypocrites isn't it www.bbc.com/news/article...

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency. Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people. Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

For some inexplicable reason I suddenly feel full of Christmas cheer www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/989c0d4...

From the @wsj.com chief foreign correspondent

Who has made this 🤣

Wait, wait, wait. Why, exactly, is my heart supposed to bleed for this person’s plight of… checks notes… owning a £4m house that they’ll have to pay tax on from 2028 (a tax which can be deferred until they sell)? Am I missing something here?

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔
