Dear Customer, We leak 100 million litres of water every day, but don't you dare use a hosepipe. Ex-CEO David Hinton took £457,534 in pay and perks in 2024-25: £300,000 salary, a £115,000 bonus, and £30,000 to his pension. So that's good. Up yours, South East Water mailchi.mp/southeastwat...

Alarm among veteran disabled activists as Burnham appoints ‘scrounger rhetoric’ Purnell as No 10 chief of staff #AndyBurnham #JamesPurnell www.disabilitynewsservice.com/alarm-among-...

BBC and Sky News fail to explain why presenters do not push back on claims of ‘spiralling welfare spending’ www.disabilitynewsservice.com/bbc-and-sky-...

This is crazy. Peter Thiel’s spy tech Palantir is embedding itself in the British state, and makes hundreds of millions from Government contracts in health, policing and defence, but pays barely any taxes

Appeasing Trump. UK would need to divert £44.7bn from essential NHS services to pay for new medicines under the terms of the UK-US trade deal. US corporate profits boosted. Could result in more than 200,000 avoidable UK deaths. Self-sufficiency for essentials saves lives.

It’s disability pride month and I don’t know about other people but the idea of feeling any sense of pride is WAY off the cards. More like disability fear and dread… it’s not the disability itself, it’s how people and society have and are going to treat us in the future… #eugenics #noonecares

@politicalgardener.bsky.social I really appreciate your posts 🙌

⬆️Think about the data points, it is all about the data points. For this lot it's your username to your personal number. Your social media presence is now being connected directly to your personal number for capitalism that runs Palantir and AI that collects data on you to create profiles. Not good

Guess how much Palantir didn't pay in tax? www.opendemocracy.net/exclusive-ho...

Bravo 👏

I hope the @greenparty.org.uk will stand up for us. Covid is airborne and vascular and the government should be doing the exact opposite for health reasons!

Political mood board: let's kill off disabled people and pensioners so we can spend less on health, palliative care, welfare and pensions, and buy more guns — to kill more people. Regardless of party, it seems, because some mistake this for humanism. Enough. The backlash is so coming.

July 2, 1952 – Rachel Carson says Arctic warming “It is now beyond question that a definite change in the arctic climate set in about 1900, that it became astonishingly marked about 1930, and that it is now spreading into sub-arctic and temperate regions." allouryesterdays.info/2023/07/01/j...

LGBT Q&A: you asked - what do data companies in the UK collect when verifying users' ages on digital platforms? The answer? A lot. Find out more here. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We limit the speed of ebikes "for public safety", yet this study shows we'd need to limit SUVs to 5.7 km/h for them to pose the same risk to other people #motonormativity findingspress.org/article/1587...

This is the future of "Growth" in the UK.

July is Disability Pride Month! We stand in solidarity with our disabled siblings, team members and supporters! #disabilitypride #disabilitypridemonth #transanddisabled

Mandelson keeps twisting the dagger, even as his public disgrace gains momentum. This is all perfectly in keeping with his dark personality, his connection to arch paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which exposes his penchant for living a luxurious lifestyle, with zero morality as an actual qualification.

I’ve been slowly jotting down some things in the perspective of if I met someone new and they didn’t understand #MECFS how I could explain what I want to in quick layman’s terms. I’m pleased with it if I do say so myself and it could turn into a zine if I had the means to do that 😮

Whenever I make spelling errors/typos I always feel a huge embarrassment, shame and I’m waiting for some arsehole to judge me, judge my intelligence as being low and correct me. This comes from years of #ableism and that whole ‘grammar nazi’ thing.. #dyslexia #brainfog and probably more…

Um I was changing my username on here and all the ones I wanted were taken so I put in something silly to see if THAT was taken and it wasn’t… but now it’s stuck and I find it amusing so it’s staying.

It’s high time society was education on the personality traits of psychopathy/sociopathy or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Rowling is was also has concrete connections to jeffery epstein, as she personally invited him to the debut of the 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' rewrite re-debut in 2018. It's in the epstein files that have been released.

Turn off the air conditioning at the White House and let's see how they feel about climate change.

Kavanaugh's decision on trans people in sports contains a footnote saying it applies only to trans women, by the way. So trans women can be legally segregated (and his reasoning isn't limited to sports), but he explicitly says it doesn't apply to trans men in any gendered spaces at all.

“Can’t afford the out of control benefits bill” (which is a lie that it’s out of control), but…

The group that has the most sex offenders per capita. Is the Far Right.

This is why I am against assisted suicide. I don't care how fair the principle is when the actual application seeks to murder us for being burdens. It's disgusting.

Where's the 24/7 media outrage ... Where's the COBRA meeting to tackle Islamophobia ... "White supremacists firebomb another Muslim family’s home with three young children inside" www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Nothing prepares you for the loneliness that comes with being chronically ill. The grief of realizing the medical system can’t (or won’t) help you. The pain of being abandoned by family & friends. The isolation of knowing we’re in a eugenics nightmare that most don’t see until it’s too late.

The moment we start debating the “worth” of others, the fascists win. We all have value. You don’t need to produce for capitalism in order to matter. You don’t need to be healthy, rich or productive. Every person matters. The ruling class benefits when treat people as expendable.

Shady think tank the Centre for Social Justice just sent out a stark reminder about who Andy Burnham works for: them By @rachelcdailey.bsky.social

@murtoz.bsky.social I’m very disappointed in the absolute silence of @chrisgpackham.bsky.social on trans people’s attacks too… he’s spoken out on autism enough, there’s a big crossover of trans people, he could be such a great ally with science backed stuff. Alas, what a huge disappointment

The future is trans women 🏳️‍⚧️ Seriously if I could choose you’d all be leading the way

With Andy Burnham favouring welfare cuts to fund defence, will any UK ME/CFS or Long Covid orgs push back against this and protect us? Currently: No clinical support. Pitiful welfare. No justice. Will @actionforme.bsky.social @meassociation.org.uk & @meactnet.bsky.social step up, fight for us?

My other take that may get me grief is that even though I think the term is useful for class consciousness, focusing your Leftism solely around ‘workers’ when it comes to who deserves to have their needs addressed is a built-in concession that you’re willing to abandon the needy who can’t work.

Some MPs claim it's anti-semitic to investigate Britain's Israel lobby.... ... as a quarter of them have been funded by it. www.declassifieduk.org/israel-lobby...

DNS is looking for examples from the last few months of broadcasters, particularly BBC News and Sky News, that have failed to challenge claims that spending on 'welfare' is spiralling out of control and needs to be cut. Examples with links to video would be most useful. Thank you!

Why didn't you just say racist, it's a racist judgement by a racist court protecting the actions of a racist Pedophile.

Taxpayer funding for the Royal Family is set to rise by 94%, as public services are cut and households told to 'tighten their belts'

Jeffrey Epstein in an email to Peter Thiel wrote ‘Brexit, just the beginning’

The govt’s effort to remove anonymity from social media/the internet is not remotely about “protecting children”, it’s about enabling stuff like this

I’m not saying this for sympathy or ‘woe is me’ but as a disabled person I’ve REALLY struggled in this heatwave. How many friends or family have checked in to see how I’m doing? 0. My point is time and time again life has shown me people don’t care about disabled people, especially with with M.E.

Andy Burnham just handed the keys to No 10 to the cruel ex-DWP chief, Labour friends of Israel chairperson and lobbyist for Thames Water. Meet James Purnell, Burnham's chief of staff By me for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Given that the previous policy of keeping trans women in male prisons was changed following the death of trans woman Vicky Thompson in 2015 after she had been gang-raped to the point of committing suicide (and three other similar cases in 2015/16) … www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Socialism without Capitalism is Communism. Capitalism with Socialism is Fascism.

If bigtech apps came out afresh say 15/20 years ago and they were like what they are like NOW and the shady shit was upfront I feel like no-one would be into them, people would rightly be like FUCK NO. So why do we put up with this shit? It’s so easy to normalise worse and worse things over time…
