Excuse my skepticism for a minute… How is nationalisation of the railways going to reduce railway fares compared to the private model? Obviously we know that the privatisation model didn’t work and needed urgent changes, but is public ownership the answer? #publicrailways #trains

Kemi Badenoch genuinely shocks me at how terrible she is as a Tory leader. I knew she would be bad, but come on... she makes Truss look competent. This is the same Kemi Badenoch that hacked Harriet Harman's website to say she was defecting to the Tories.

Don’t get me wrong - what Palestine Action did over the weekend was wrong. Whoever was involved and responsible should be put before the courts. No matter what the cause, breaking into a military base and damaging RAF planes is unacceptable and puts us all at risk. HOWEVER (and this is a big one):

Found this in my camera roll from 2024. Could not agree more. (see what I did there)

This crackdown on care worker visas is crazy. We need foreign carers because providers don’t pay carers enough - there are better paying clinical jobs out there. If the government seriously want to cut carers visas, they need to improve funding to social care, rather than bend over to Farage.

@labourlewis.bsky.social was exceptional on Politics Live. He delivered a masterclass on communication, ensuring that he picked the right words to not undermine the government whilst expressing solidarity with trans people. Kudos Clive!

Today has been a shocking day for Earth. The UK Anti-corruption minister resigns for allegations of… corruption. The US SoD-designate who has alleged alcohol problem, replied to legitimate questions about his character as “anonymous smears.” We are easily 10-20 years away from societal collapse.

We need to rejoining the EU ASAP. Brexit has hindered our growth, it has meant that dealing with illegal migration is more difficult than ever, and a generation of students will not get the opportunity to study in Europe under Erasmus. Can anyone name any genuine Brexit benefits?

Is anyone else in the UK extremely concerned about the direction that our politics is going in? I can’t tell if Starmer is underwhelming or if the media coverage surrounding Labour is underwhelming. Either way, something needs to change, otherwise we’re in trouble in 2029.

I went onto the other app today and the first post that I saw was about Clive Myrie not being fit for being a news presenter because of his skin colour... Worst of all, it had 20k likes. Oh, how far it has gone. Thank God Bluesky exists.
