One day, everyone will have always been against this.

You'd think a man responsible for a computer program that generated and distributed images of CSAM to millions of people, clearly in violation of numerous European and UK laws, would have been dragged before the courts long before he personally pushed for for a race war in Northern Ireland

This is a Refugee Tax. It was originally proposed by the Tories, and the only reason asylum seekers could be claimed to 'owe' any money is because they are banned from working. Another cruel Labour policy - that must be reversed on day one by Andy Burnham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Best thing I ever ate? Dim sum in Happy Gathering, a small Chinese corner of Wales

It would be bad for public confidence if there was a suspicion that large corporate interests are buying access to the Government via the Tony Blair Institute. My letter to the cabinet office. 👇🏼

As Israel intensifies its attacks on Southern Lebanon and forcibly displaces citizens we urge the Government to halt all arms sales to and end military cooperation with Israel. End the impunity.

Coming up tomorrow! Can’t wait for this conversation with the wonderful @kandasamy.bsky.social about her new book at @Waterstones Islington. Come! It will be ace www.waterstones.com/events/field...

The media forensically dissects the pasts of people who challenge the status quo, such as Polanski and Corbyn. Fair enough, up to a point: we should know about our representatives. But it's far less inquisitive about those who defend power, however great their misdeeds, such as Nigel Farage.🧵

Todays NYT holds up Starmer’s miserable premiership as a warning to Democrats. Hope they heed. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/o...

How sh*t at politics do you need to be to... a week before a crucial election... float a policy that your base desperately wants, only to rule it out almost immediately?

Remove Palantir from our NHS. Get Palantir out of our country. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

I am so proud of Ciara - our Co-Chair of @younggreens.bsky.social and the next Cllr for Herne Hill and Loughborough Jnc. Today, she is rightly named The Times 'Young Power List'. She epitomises HOPE.

But why has China become a global leader in renewable energy production? Because the fossil fuel industry has used its enormous influence (and funding) to attack any moves towards a transition to renewable energy in the West, using both the libertarian & far right political movements & the media.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

Reading this revolutionary book by Meena Kandasamy, one of the most important writers of our time. She eviscerates Hindutva incel trolls with such elegant courage and brilliant language. We don’t deserve her, but we are endlessly lucky to have her.

UNREAL: A drone maker backed by Trump’s two oldest sons is trying to sell to Gulf countries while they are under attack by Iran and dependent on the U.S. military led by their father. In other words Trump to profit from the war. apnews.com/article/trum...

If we want secure jobs, a safe climate for the next generation & true energy independence the only route is through renewables. We know it works, it lower bills & makes us safe from energy shocks. We just need politicians brave enough to stand up to the oil & gas lobby & their mates in Reform.

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran. Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble. I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Sky News don't seem as excited as the rest of us. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Npvw...

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere. It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.

Drop the charges. 🇵🇸

The Epstein victims stood behind Bondi and she wouldn’t even look at them. When asked about the men who raped them, here is what she said…….. I guess it’s what Trump told her to fit in somewhere.

truly monstrous

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Swapping Bovino for this clown is like shitting your pants & changing your necktie

just choked on my beverage

Here’s a sample of why wretched old pedo Trump would rather incinerate the planet than release the Epstein files. #Epstein #Justice4KatieJohnson

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. 🙄

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Seems like they denied Alex Pretti of his second amendment rights as well. The silence of the NRA and gun nuts babbling about governemnt tyranny is truly deafening

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

ICE officers are publicly stating that Renee Good was killed not because an officer was threatened but because they were made at her for not instantly following every order issued. The new ICE threat to protestors is: "Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch."
