How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

Wonderful 💚

"Privatisation is a failed experiment which takes all our money and pays it out to shareholders." Do we pay enough tax for good Public Services? Can you see the problem? They are not Public, so they will never be good no matter how much you spend.

Okie dokie 😂🙄🤣

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

Perfect.👌🏻

Nerine Halton Have I got this straight ? Starmer’s being quizzed to death about a field for donkeys ? Farage , whose tax affairs and party donors are as transparent as a London fog , is getting a media pass on Russian interference ? You’re kidding me , right ? 😳

If the UK govt wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership. High price of energy and water fuels inflation, poverty, deplietes people's purchasing power Industries like water, energy have extracted dividends, neglected investment.

Fair play to Sadiq Khan. To live rent-free inside the head of the president of the USA is a massive achievement for any Mayor of London.

Be Seen. A New PSA

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

WTAF?!

Oh this is superb. Just laying into Farage. Bet he’d even rather be in Clacton.

Just the kind of person we need at the forefront of politics in the UK. Well done @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏👏👏

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.

Hey @ofgem.gov.uk , how about you start protecting the consumer and stop supporting the fat cats who continue to profiteer off the back of those who can little afford it.

🙋🏻‍♂️

Important thread to counter the racist, dog whistling “valid concerns” coming from our right wing press.

👏👏👏🫶

The biggest scam ever. The establishment convinced the people to sell off their family silver with the promise of choice and riches. Now all we have is privately owned companies offering the same overpriced services which we have to bail out when they fail. Privatise profit, socialise risk.

Legitimate Concerns?

Loans being taken and paid out in dividends while ignoring everything that needs to be fixed does not make a water company viable. #renationise #water #now

"The UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) forms the backbone of national security, economic stability and public welfare. Yet, decades of privatisation have left many of these vital assets in the hands of private companies, often with significant foreign ownership."

What an amazing test match. Riveting to the end…again. What a series! It has not been a productive work day. #cricket #EnglandvIndia

This is an excellent analysis of the Leveson Review (and not only because it mirrors my own view as I wade through the report). The biggest problem in the courts, as any criminal barrister will tell you, is that things just don’t *work*. So much time is lost to systemic inefficiency.

If only the same effort was put in to urge councils to build protected cycle tracks and secure cycle parking for bikes, including cargo bikes and e-Bikes

But the super rich who've corruptly bribed Labour's cabinet members don't

Jury-free trials proposed to save criminal justice system from collapse. Result of years of austerity. How will the anti working class bias in the legal system, lack of legal aid and risk of miscarriage of justice be tackled? Govts fund foreign wars & corporate welfare but not the justice system.

Hmmm. PR needed.

There’s not enough money? Rejoin the EU. There’s not enough money? Tax the rich. There’s not enough money? Nationalise all public services. There’s not enough money? Stop subsidising extractive industries. There’s not enough money? Close the offshoring loopholes. THIS ISN’T DIFFICULT.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

A perfect example of secondary benefits.

Just dropped my girls off at Nottingham arena to see Gracie Abrams. Me: why is everyone wearing a bow? Kids: That’s her whole thing. Me: I thought she was mainly known for singing. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #dadjokes #pedant

NEW: Trump shits the bed and asks Xi to clean it up.

Oh. Well maybe the regulator could update their rules to require reporting on water use 🤷🏻‍♂️

Horrifying what is happening under Trump’s authoritarian leadership.

My pesto just made me laugh. I think the basil's faulty.

Exactly this. Tax the land that the building companies are sitting on as if they had already built houses and they will build them. We don’t need to harm nature to get them to build.
