❌ ‘The longer we accept this as normal, the greater the damage it does’ Our Chief Analyst @statspeter.bsky.social gives an overview of the numbers in #UKPoverty2026 of children, working-age adults and pensioners living in poverty, and what the lack of progress means for society 🔽

Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Hull have a lead to defend and are closing down space brilliantly. Unless we can find a way to create the space we thrive on we're going to struggle. Big test for Hellberg this #boro #hcfc

Late entry but surely a top contender for Darwin Awards 2025?

Proper good three points. Hellball is proving to be very effective #utb #boro

We looked in control for huge parts of that half and fully deserved our lead. Brittain was instrumental in both goals with the interceptions that started the moves. We look confident, assured and frankly, transformed from Edwards reign. This Boro is a sight to behold. #boro #utb #cafc

This is such a great visualization of the carbon cycle and of how humanity has completely altered it within a geological instant, by @rarohde.bsky.social:

200 Billion Pounds. Imagine the investment into our infrastructure that money could've been used for. Instead, I suspect the majority of it is sat in some offshore bank account never to be spent on anything remotely useful to society.

Its very, very early days but Hellberg seems to have built on our established solid defense and given us numerous new ways to tear teams apart. HMS piss the league has new wind in its sails #boro #utb

Must say, quite enjoying Hellball. What can you say to that other than GET IN THERE!! #utb #boro

Ray Mears, dragged out of his tent to warn people that they're not ready for a war and that the solution is for everyone to play soldiers for a bit. Legacy media is fucking insane.

Some facts that will not be cared about by lots of people's feelings

That miss from Conway was the turning point of the game. If he scores, then I can't see us losing. The fact he missed sucked all life out of the team and the crowd and what followed was inevitable #boro #utb #pusb

This has the potential to be a cracking second half, particularly if we grab an early goal. They've been utterly clinical with their chances but we've been the better team overall #boro #pusb

There’s one hidden treasure on Teesside that many people aren’t aware of. A feat of construction unmatched anywhere in the UK | Ray Casey

"They say there's a ceasefire. Where is this ceasefire they're talking about.. every day 10, 15, 20 people die. There is no ceasefire. The Israelis aren't abiding by the ceasefire"

Yesterday Israel killed at least thirty Palestinians in Gaza. So far this morning they've killed one person. Ceasefire? What ceasefire.

June 2016 here. Do you notice how this has been proven correct: there really is no way to appease the reactionary right, who take every concession to their fucknut demands as a new base camp to strike out for more and nastier?

The transnational fascist movement is the people the Panama papers and paradise papers are written about as well as the people Epstein was working with and facilitating sex with minors for. It’s all the same corrupt group of wealthy fascists and authoritarians

I imagine this will go like Johnson: there will be a prolonged period of noticing things building towards “Much as we all love Boris, he has fucked it and he now has to resign with honour, and gain respect”. And when that doesn’t work, the really nasty stuff will come out.

World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds www.theguardian.com/environment/...

One of the many reasons I stopped watching beeb news output over a decade ago. They allow narratives to be driven by this policy yet rarely, if ever, provide an alternate view. The papers are treated like gospel even when their owners agendas are diametrically opposed to those who read them.

Wrong selection and formation today. It stinks of overthinking and not knowing your best team. We've lost all our solidity just to try and fit Browne in with Hackney and Morris. Stupid from the management for me. #boro

The DAMMING Evidence that PROVES Keir Starmer LIED about Gaza

Avoiding all legacy media is the first step to finding out what actually happens, and why, in this country. Is it any wonder why people are so misinformed about so many things when this is the shit that's being pumped into their brains, relentlessly, day after day.

Barely 48 hours for our entire political and media class to be shown up as the absolute clowns they are. Honestly, Friday was one of the most embarrassing reactions to a perfectly reasonable decision I've ever seen. Embarrassing, the lot of them.

The two Israelis killed today were killed when their bulldozer hit an unexploded bomb, which had been dropped by Israel. The only side that killed, 44 people today, was Israel. Please RT to get the message out, over all of the lies.

The launch date is approaching! Very excited about my new book, which will be released this month. From teams to good to go down to Escape to Victory via football management computer games and Jossy's Giants. Get ready for some serious nostalgia! Please share this post.

We do indeed live in a very strange country

Just like every piece of evidence that makes the 'establishment' look even more terrible than we already know, this will be talked about for about 5 minutes, in very dismissive tones and then memory holed for all eternity. Such is the way in the shitty country.

The 1st installment of the Canary's exclusive serialisation of Paul Holden's book The Fraud looks at the rise of Labour Together, & we reveal that what the group publicly said about its creation wasn't strictly true. You can read our serialisation every day at 9am. www.thecanary.co/the-fraud/20...

I love my parents but I don't think I can do another ten years of saying "No, that's not true. That far right influencer/politician is lying to you again. Here are the facts." They get so frightened by all the lies. It's exhausting.

This is a really good PPB. The clearest and most relatable explanation for the necessity of a wealth tax.

#OtD 7 Oct 2001 the US and UK began the bombing of Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks kicking off the War on Terror. By October 2023, the conflict has led to an estimated death toll of at least 4.5 million, according to Brown University stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1075...
