A housing shortage requiring rent controls & a rethink of how urban environments work. Massive wealth inequalities needing redistribution. Unaccountable, untaxed wealth farmed from financial assets & digital monopolies. Fallout from Brexit. Starmer’s answer? More anti-immigrant populism & Digital ID

✨ @cmmonwealth.bsky.social have created a striking visual map showing the less beautiful reality of how privatisation has reshaped our essential services. From rail to energy to healthcare, it lays bare who owns Britain, and what that means for us the public. www.common-wealth.org/interactive/...

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Chilean President Gabriel Boric now at the UNGA: "I want to see [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and those responsible for the genocide against the Palestinian people brought to an international court."

If you're an IDF soldier who has murdered Palestinian children you're allowed to enter Canada on vacation. If you're a musician who opposes genocide you're banned

A Palestinian girl leads a performance choreographed by adults who are trying everything in their power to keep the children busy while bombs fall around them and kill their families and loved ones. End the genocide.

Recognition is no doubt significant but it will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel's genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people. 🧵1/3

Israël enforces a blockade on Gaza & is starving the Palestinians to death. This malnourished baby is a result of Israel’s deliberate policy of enforcing genocide by starvation. We must rise up against our complicit governments to stop this abomination. #israel #gaza #starvation #palestine .

My Granddad's generation had the right idea, they didn't vote for #Putin funded #FarRight #Fascists like #FarageRiots

We should all ask the question: Where is Keir Starmer?

North Korea or East Germany before the wall fell….. I wonder if these guys enjoy their job?

With no mandatory national #insulation & #DoubleGlazing plans under #ToryShiteLiebour. As usual #Brits will be screwed by their #PrivatisedEnergy companies in their #unfit for purpose #cold & #droughty homes.Expect to hear regurgitated #OldChestnuts by #Keir_Starmer this winter, instead of solutions

The stupidity of #BrexshitBritain's #ToryShiteLiebour PM #Keir_Starmer has No end, as thousands of #MobilesPhonnes are #Stolen daily in the #UK. His plans for a #DigitalIDCard would be #Unsecure & #Unworkable. Whilst doing nothing to stop #illegalImmigration. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

With Labour's approval of a second runway at Gatwick airport - and Reeves and Starmer pursuing growth at all costs - we NEED @graceblakeley.substack.com in our lives to explain why certain types of growth don't benefit most of us

Labour haven't learned any lessons from the past and are looking to involve private finance in the building of new 'neighbourhood health centres'. And Reform can't wait to sell off our precious NHS. Only the Green Party stands for a health service run for people, not profit.

Labour promised an end to new drilling. But new powers give Energy Secretary Ed Miliband a backdoor to expand fossil fuels in the North Sea. Loopholes don’t cut carbon. No new oil and gas.

Hardcore climate denialism seems like a very US problem, but its deep pocketed funders are also behind some UK politicians.  We cannot let this influence block action to prevent the worst of climate change, which will affect every single one of us. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The government’s obsession with transport expansion makes it impossible for Ed Miliband to meet his clean energy targets – no wonder he’s nowhere to be seen, writes @sianberry.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/voices/sian-...

The border check facilities built to deal with post-Brexit plant and animal inspections have cost an estimated £800m They are likely to become redundant after the SPS deal comes into force How many homes could we have insulated with that money? www.politico.eu/article/brex...

Donald Trump is as ignorant about London as he is about medical science. Violent crime in London dropped by 13% last year & the murder rate is lower than in *any* US state. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

The really #Disgusting #Hypocrisy of #BrexshitBritains #GenocideEnabler #ToryShiteLiebours #Keir_Starmer recent conversion to recognising #Palestine. Is that he & the previous #Conservative Government is #complicit with the #ApartheidStateOfIsrael's #GenocideInGaza by supplying them with #Arms.

Dear RFK: From an Autistic Nurse, The Real Epidemic Is You open.substack.com/pub/dissenti...

The Kyiv Independent is proud to share that, with the support of its readers, its e-store has raised $7,900 for the non-profit organization East SOS that helps rebuild homes and lives devastated by Russia's invasion, donating 100% of the profit from the sales of its 603,628 km² T-shirt.

"Since August, 16 of 38 Russian refineries have been hit, some multiple times. Among them are facilities in Samara, Krasnodar, Volgograd, Novokuibyshevsk, Ryazan...On Monday, they struck Gazprom’s fuel-processing plant in Astrakhan...Yesterday, they hit a key part of an oil pipeline in Bryansk"

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“Russia can sustain extremely high levels of casualties and losses in human lives. They don’t care about people’s lives.” However, “it is painful for them to lose money...” This is how the oil industry became the Ukrainians’ most important target."

After watching CNN's video of the #WhitehouseTackyRenovations by #PutinsConvictedOrangeTurd I doubt the vast majority of #Americans & the international community couldn't agree more with the statement below.

Forbes Ukraine honored 30 young Ukrainians under 30 whose lives were cut short by Russia. They should’ve been celebrated for achievements, but are remembered in tragedy—just a fraction of countless dreams Russia destroyed. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

Last year, this stage was FULL. Today, it is this - I’m one of few. One camera (CGI), bunch of photographers. See, media isn’t banned. It decides what to cover.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been abducted by Russia since Putin’s invasion.    I stood with President Zelenskyy today at the UN to focus the world's attention on these horrific war crimes — and to strengthen our international efforts to bring these children home.
