Come on folks, there is work to be done and we have 4 years to do it

Why say 'killed' when he was murdered? Awdah Hathaleen was unarmed when shot and murdered by illegal settler Yinon Levi. The murderer will not be punished by Israeli courts. @theguardian.com #Palestine #Gaza #theGuardian #WestBank www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

We now have 300,000 people signed up and the establishment is clearly frightened. Westminster is broken, but the real crisis is inequality: just fifty families now own more wealth than half the population. Let’s change that together. Join us: yourparty.uk

The “appalling scenes in Gaza” have been enabled by the arms, surveillance & diplomatic cover Keir Starmer’s Labour government have provided to a genocidal apartheid state. He still refuses to call it a genocide because he is complicit in it. Keir Starmer belongs in The Hague.

Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.

"[SNS (Solutions Not Sides)...] is an absurd exercise in Orwellian Newspeak." bit.ly/3BiI13z

"A grotesque sneering abomination. On his own he’d be nothing but he is backed financially by wealth hoarders and supported politically by almost all politicians and almost all media [...] We are in the unwiped-arse stage of capitalism." bit.ly/4ikrRHB

Bluesky can suspend Nigel Farage in less than 36 hours. But the Police can't question him over the riots he incited, even after 5 months.

Other models are available. This article discusses some of them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We've just published our latest report: COLLATERAL DAMAGE, highlighting the widespread poisoning of birds of prey in England by the misuse & abuse of rodenticides. Govt scheme to reduce exposure has failed. Read the report: wildjustice.org.uk/general/coll...

Absolute fury at this: United Utilities refusing to disclose data about sewage it's releasing into Windermere, because it's "not in the public interest." Ditto data on ammonia checks from a UU Cunsey Beck plant; site of a 2022 mass fish-kill from pollution. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

She's 100% correct too

A long overdue and welcome decision.

This is the problem of having the politically illiterate running the country Zero diplomacy - just inflammatory rhetoric like at home Whatever happened to looking for peace?

Tamworth, this is your Tory candidate. Make sure you keep him OUT 👇👇 Tory by-election candidate posted chart telling parents who can’t feed kids to 'f*** off' #Tamworth #TacticalVoting

This is for real. I know the building. Boris Johnson’s work ethic and habit writ large. Quite a few others too I would imagine, not least Michael Gove. Ha!

New Conservative Party Conference slogan just dropped

"Every time a Tory minister claims the government is “investing” in something they mean they are handing public money to a racketeer.  Every time.  There are no exceptions.  Every scheme is a scam – “levelling-up,” Towns Fund, HS2, “forty new hospitals.”"

The Conservative party have just Instigated a war against clear thinking, scientifically led people. It worked for them with Brexit and they hope they can once again bribe the bigots. Make no mistake, this is actual war. The victim this time is not the UK. Its the whole fucking planet. The future.

National Trust Members! The organisation needs you and your votes to head off efforts to take over the board by candidates promoted by Farage & REES Mogg These are who NOT to vote for I shall take you through voting & the NT memberahip board’s recommended candidates next. It doesn’t take long!

It's time to ban the Conservative Party. They're a criminal organisation.

This is imperfect, but the Sky Follower Bridge extension for Google Chrome is turning out to be the best way for me to actually find the people I followed on Twitter and now have Bluesky accounts. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sky-follower-bridge/behhbpbpmailcnfbjagknjngnfdojpko

Enough Is Enough, it's time for evidence-based policy on #Cannabis. Lobbyists with undeclared financial interests have influenced government policy to the detriment of public health and welfare.

ACMD recommended decrim. of cannabis possession in 2016. FoI requests denied but now leaked to Guardian. Home Office says: "no safe way to take illegal drugs, which devastate lives, ruin families and damage communities, we have no plans to consider legalisation or decriminalisation of drugs."

Feels a lot like authoritarianism. The Tories really have us under the boot heel.
