Happy Sunday. Hopefully this might help someone!

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in. Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer. This thread explains why. 1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power. 🧵

No more beating round the bush, the mask is well and truly off

Nigel Farge cares so much about women’s rights that he’s prepared to work with the Taliban

Wow. I've never been a huge Lush fan, but talk about fucking making a statement. They closed 104 stores AND their factories as a one-day protest against the starvation in Gaza. That's how you do it.

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Seeing some politicians competing for just how brutal and dehumanising they can be to vulnerable minorities - I can’t help comparing that to 16th and 17th witch trials. It’s so depressing.

Christ above. These pitiful fucking cowards.

Indeed. But in the end, few recall precisely the days January 30 (when Hitler became Chancellor), February 27 (Reichstag fire), March 22 (Dachau opened), March 23 (Enabling Act passed)—they just remember 1933. Likewise, everyone will remember 2025.

Children in Gaza play with a parachute from airdropped aid amid Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians and forced starvation in the besieged enclave.

Britain is now a state where you are stopped by the police and face possible arrest if you wear a T-shirt emblazoned with PLASTICINE ACTION

The Palestinian flag is not a terrorist symbol, it is the flag of a nation under attack and threat of extinction. Flying it is a moral duty and legal right. It is not a breach of planning law.

Not authoritarian or fascist at all. Not one bit.

Netanyahu’s government has just approved a plan to take over all of Gaza, including Gaza City. This means more destruction, more displacement, and more death for over 2 million people already trapped and starving.

Clive Myrie, "Why is Netanyahu planning to occupy Gaza?" Lyse Doucet, "Is it to save his government from collapse as so many have said for so long?"

Words fail. Look at that.

Amazed it took 40 years to reach this conclusion. It was obvious in the 80s, if you bothered to look. Thatcher used the working-classes' own money to bribe them into voting to destroy their futures, and the Tories have been worshipping her for it ever since. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Good stuff from Starmer today, but it's not enough inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

It's performative. If Steve Reed were really "furious" about water bills, he wouldn't have ruled out renationalisation, or forbidden the Independent Water Commission to recommend it. He enables the filthiest, most parasitic capital to defeat the public interest. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It's not just the Gazan homes which will need rebuilt, but the minds of terrified families and their children.

Difficult to conceive of a more ill-judged decision then the one the Home Office took here. It is an affront to free speech of a kind which is really indistinguishable from what you'd see in a police state.

Israel is deliberately massacring civilians it’s deliberately starving. There are few crimes more depraved.

What the actual fuck? So put the population of Gaza into a concentration camp? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

The Police arrested this woman and 26 others for holding signs like these today. What an absolute disgrace this is for the UK. Free Speech, yeah right.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

The UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Upto 132% higher than the EU14 median. Five times more than in Finland. Since 2020, UK's 20 largest energy companies have made £514bn operating profit, destroying businesses and households. davidturver.substack.com/p/uk-industr...

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

IDF soldiers ordered to shoot deliberately at unarmed Gazans waiting for humanitarian aid www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Andy for PM! Been saying it for years!

I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

The proscription of Palestine Action sets a dangerous precedent. I voted against the order today. In similar cases, juries found activists not guilty based on a belief that activists were acting from a desire to prevent war crimes. The Government must draw the same proportionate line.

Tonight. Share everywhere. 🙏

Today is Britain at its absolute stinking worst: a full on media and political feeding frenzy targeting someone who righteously sought to punch up for doing so in the wrong way, as we all avert our eyes from a real, genuine evil. Properly grim. Solidarity with Bob Vylan - end the genocide.

Kneecap on Rod Stewart: “The man’s older than Israel” #Glastonbury

Fucking hell! The Beeb got so hung up on Kneecap that they forgot Bob….

So it doesn’t look like the BBC are going to show Kneecap as they aren’t on the listings which is just really bloody shit #Glastonbury2025 #Kneecap

Why is Rod Stewart making Glastonbury political? Artists should just shut up and perform

Does that sound like a democracy to you?
