Human rights restored to #PalestineAction against the wishes of our Supreme Leader who was once a “Human Rights Lawyer” Couldn’t make it up! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

My response to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Sky News interview 👇

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

Vladyslav Heraskevych banned for having pictures of colleagues killed in war on his helmet. Have the Olympic bureaucrats no humanity? Other competitors are allowed to dedicate their performances to lost relatives and friends. Why special protection for Russia’s war? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter...

Jimmy Ratcliffe billionaire tax dodger and racist, follow your tax status and fuck off back to Monaco!

Channel 4's 'Palestine Action, The Truth behind the ban' reveals that despite all the things the govt claimed & implied about PA (Iranian backed, violent, secret intel etc), the real reason they proscribed the group as terrorists was because PA was damaging property. Thats it.

BREAKING: Morgan McSweeney has resigned from government

The French rebuilt Notre Dame for £600 million in 5 years 1 month. Parliament revamp could cost £40bn and take 61 years according to UK official estimates. Have we asked the French for a quote? I thought not. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You just can’t trust a jury to do what the Govt wants They keep on doing what’s right That’s why #Lammy wants them abolished Palestine Action protesters cleared of Elbit burglary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I feel another U-Turn coming on, probably a couple of weeks before the Senedd Elections. It’s an ambitious PM who thinks (McSweeney thinks) he can take on 3.6 million angry pensioners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The coroner has lost their moral compass and lost their way on legal responsibilities The electricity company allowed the fallen line to stay live despite it being reported to them They are 100% responsible When I controlled similar lines we knew our responsibilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A meme that should now only be used very sparingly, but this is a bullseye.

Reform MP Lee Anderson mocked by Angela Rayner over major by-election blunder - he can’t find where Gorton & Denton constituency is ! But he can still rustle up a meal for 30p though. Allegedly ! www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

#medsky Please join us and Minnesota healthcare workers by wearing a black ribbon this week in memory of Alex Pretti. Let’s show our love and support for Alex’s family, friends, and colleagues. Pin a black ribbon to your scrubs and white coats. Take a pic and share on social media.

Not enough time for a democratic selection process, so it’ll be yet another #Starmerite shoe-in Will they never learn?

Another chilling shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis, this time of a nurse. My heart goes out to Alex Pretti's family. We cannot let Nigel Farage and Reform import Trump’s dark politics to the UK.

The Govt is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his latest insults to British troops, sending Charles, Head of the British Armed Forces, to honour Trump, would be a slap in the face to veterans. Will you add your name? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.

New New #Labour could have chosen someone who knew something (anything?) about the water industry, but a mate who’s a banker was available. He decided his City mates weren’t the problem. No surprises there. I voted for this lot. What a disappointment. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

When Darwin first put forward his theory of evolution he said selection of the fittest was through successful competition. Peter Kropotkin, the Russian Anarchist argued it was the co-operators that succeeded. Tonight we saw Kropotkin was right. The co-operators won. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Government wants new water laws that lock us into decades of rip-off privatisation - without asking the public. 82% of Brits support public ownership. You won’t get a say. Stop the stitch-up. Demand a real public consultation: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

Robert Jenrick helpfully lists all the things he didn't do during his 10 years in government.

This is worse than a joke. You can’t effectively regulate a profit-first system. We’re throwing good money after bad and not even tackling the root problem. Any solution that doesn’t involve public ownership is a waste of the public’s time and money. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Invent your own violent football match! Trust Bill Gates’ AI slop generating software! Lose your job as a top policeman as a result! Sign up now! Have we all gone mad? www.grctrainingsonline.com/webinar/usin...

Meanwhile, Microsoft CoPilot that generated the AI slop about a made up football match continues to be used across Govt Craig Guildford believed what Bill Gates’ software told him, erred on the side of caution and avoided any violence. His reward - forced to retire www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The state we are in. 16,600 people a year – 320 a week – in England die as a direct result of delays in accessing A&E care or a bed on a ward. Tory legacy but handing NHS services to corporations and private equity doesn't help. Money buys less. Fiscal rules, appeasing the rich costs lives.

We're backing Gareth Thomas' Fair Banking Act to help transform communities using credit unions and community finance. It's time the banks helped out the communities they're supposed to serve.

🤑 Would you donate to save the fossil fuel industry? Nah, we wouldn't either, but that doesn't matter – the govt has already committed £22bn and counting of your money to a tech that's meant to reduce emissions but is actually a lifeline for oil and gas. Outraged? Share this!

This is a must-watch! The Old Oak (Ken Loach, 2023), 11pm, BBC Two

So Microsoft’s #Artificialidiocy tool CoPilot invented a non-existent violent football match, the Chief Constable erred on the side of caution, banned Macabi fans - no violence We can now sack CoPilot across Govt or sack the Chief Constable Guess which one gets it www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3...

Funding NHS facilities with private finance a breach of manifesto, Labour MPs say. Govt paid £6 for £1 PFI investment. Private equity profiteering from NHS contracts. Public money buys less. Govt reviving PFI, handing NHS to private equity. Govt can borrow, create money, do QE, tax the rich.

The dreaded #French rebuilt #NotreDame in 5 yrs, and it came in on budget. All done by the State with direct labour and no sign of Property Developers/consultants/Crapita/Crapco/etc But a past PM reckons we can’t do up No 10 in the same time. Pathetic! www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrit...

Only recently discovered the May Day Rooms have labelled the collection of left pamphlets I gave them 5 years ago as “ Dissenting Ephemera - Alex Bird” Lovely description maydayrooms.org/archive_item...

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?
