Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Happy St Totteringham’s Day ….

PRESIDENT EPSTEIN BIGLY WORRIED OVER FALLING POLL NUMBERS SO HE STARTS ILLEGAL WAR WITH IRAN! HE WILL LOSE MIDTERMS AND GET IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

Immigration officers allegedly stole cash and property worth hundreds of thousands of pounds from small-boat migrants as they arrived in the UK. The officers have been charged with money laundering, misconduct in public office, and conspiracy to steal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So, Matt Goodwin cheated, he had a Nazi-sympathising campaign manager, a team of racist campaigners aligned to far right hate groups and he himself was accused of sexual harassment by a colleague at GBNews. Please god don’t inflict this foul piece of shit on the rest of us, #GortonandDenton

Dirty Business- Channel 4’s exposé of England water companies shows abuse of corporate power, failed govt policies and human suffering. It has got worse Thames Water may pay 2024 fines in 2030 or never. Fines on others waived. Say NO to profits B4 people. Let companies go bankrupt. Nationalise.

@bodoglimt.bsky.social Congratulations on your progress into the Champions League round of 16!

Reform UK has today unveiled Donald Trump-style ICE plans. In the meantime UK news shows continue to fail to call out Reform UK leader Nigel Farage’s completely untrue claims. If UK media can’t get the job done let’s do it ourselves www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This might be of interest to @garethdennis.uk …

The billionaire class of Zionist supremacists wield so much power in the US as Norman Finkelstein points out. Our little band in the UK do too. They’ve captured the Labour Party and its dufus of a prime minister who has made Britain complicit in genocide.

Everyone around Trump is mired in illegality and compromise. It doesn’t matter how nuts Trump gets, they will never admit he isn’t fit to be President, because he’s the only thing between them and a tsunami of consequences.

This too…

This one hits hard.

ISRAEL IS DRAGGING TRUMP’S AMERICA INTO A WAR WITH IRAN. WW3 COULD BE THE RESULT. Israel under Netanyahu has captured the most powerful country in the world. He has dragged America into 5 wars and persuaded it to facilitate one of the worst genocides in history. Iran is the last piece in his jigsaw

UK govt finances better than expected in January. Ridiculous single statistic obsession. Must prioritize public welfare. Unemployment rising, millions in poverty, unfit roads, unaffordable housing, NHS queues, deindustrialization, endemic profiteering. Can't rejuvenate without public investment.

The Representation of the People Bill doesn't cap political donations. Super-rich can buy/bribe political parties to protect their interests. The poor can't. The bottom 50% of the population owns less than 5% of wealth and the bottom 20% has only 0.5%. 24m live below minimum living standards.

Let's be clear. If Streeting cared remotely about the wellbeing of trans youth he would have called an immediate public inquiry into the 500% increase of deaths in trans kids after he and others stopped gender affirming care. But instead, he commissioned a bogus report to try and cover it up.

Hannah Arendt said about 1933. "It's not what our enemies did, but what our friends did." There is the aspect of conformity in human nature.

For anyone who has not seen it, my research, along with the suicide statistics he apparently tried to cover up, show very clearly that Streeting is NOT putting children’s safety first in any way whatsoever. Trans kids are very likely to to suffer trauma well into adulthood, if they make it that far.

C’MON BBC!!! Reform get three Question Time slots in a row! THIS IS NONSENSE! The Biased Broadcasting Corporation it most certainly is.

Farage - grifting multimillionaire and highest earning MP Tice - family money multimillionaire Yusuf - multimillionaire Jenrick - millionaire Zahawi - multimillionaire But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.) God, they’re hideous.

Suella Braverman says Reform would scrap the Equality Act 2010. Law prevents discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation. Reform taking us back to Victorian era, removing hope. Our predecessors fought hard for social rights.

Problem is, Jenrick, you can go on #r4today and bemoan the state of the economy and the cost of living, you can claim to be oh so concerned… but we all know you’re full of shit. We know you don’t care. You spent years failing us as a Tory. You’ve swapped rosettes, not had a personality transplant.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has posted on X “1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English” It’s racked up 2 million views AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

The world’s largest collection of Holocaust denial material, ISIS murder videos and CSAM, endorsed by the former prime minister.

Reform have said they are going to get rid of the Equalities Act and the Human Rights Act. Obviously every single charity working with humans, every union, and every employer should object to such proposals.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

It’s up to all of us to now step up and call this absolute bull**** out

Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm. They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination. A smile and a shrug on BBC News. What the hell? FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

Why indeed is *no one* talking about Reform regressive, misogynistic vision of the future?

UK biggest companies rack up debt to pay dividends to private equity owners. $2.7bn debt-fuelled dividends over the past 5 years. Darktrace, Aggreko, Homeserve and Signature Aviation facing higher debt. Courting disaster. Successive govts failed to reform corporate governance. archive.ph/0qIvA

It’s up to all of us to now step up and call this absolute bull**** out

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

Update on Savannah’s case in The Times. She has severe ME/CFS, has lost 30kg and eaten nothing since January 18. Sonya Chowdhury, CEO of Action for ME, describes the situation as “appalling” and says she is very worried Savannah could die. archive.ph/J3Xv3

Wetherspoon boss, a Reform UK funder, supports Farage because of pub-aid. Cut beer duty by 10% Cut VAT to 10% for hospitality sector Reverse employers’ NIC Remove business rates for pubs To be paid by increasing child poverty ... Jeez. Reform oppose workers rights, tax rises on the rich.

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.” No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder. Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Why is an organisation called “UK Lawyers for Israel” been allowed to intimidate the British Museum for (not incorrectly) using the word Palestine? It’s nonsense! The British Museum should be ashamed of itself.

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

Phillips "This is not a country where people get thrown in jail for things they say" @zackpolanski.bsky.social points out 2,700 people have been arrested for holding signs And well done to Zack for challenging Phillips smear that 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is antisemitic

Exactly. This is not a lot of money. And once destroyed you don’t get to rebuild it.
