Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

I firmly oppose the government’s plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This is an affront to our civil liberties, and will make the lives of minorities even more difficult and dangerous. It is excessive state interference — and must be resisted.

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“To be a good scientist, I have to take emotions out of work. Still, I would say looking at this data, when I allow myself to connect to it emotionally, then I am afraid. This really scares me” - Dr. Levke Caesar, co-lead of Planetary Boundaries Science Lab

Keir Starmer should face charges at the ICC in The Hague for this and so much more. He’s literally aiding and assisting a genocide. Actively.

Reform MP backs up Nigel Farage claims that migrants are coming for your birds.

We don't see any reason why landlords and lawyers shouldn't pay the same tax rate as their tenants and clients.

This is evidence based policy. Pity @torstenbell.bsky.social MP defending it when he knows its morally indefensible. .....

spokesperson for Sadiq Khan: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response. “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here.”

This is a very poor way for the BBC to handle this type of inaccurate prejudice as a news story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cruel beyond belief. 😥

Nick Fuentes is a really bad person. Uncaring, divisive and dangerous. 🔻

Switching 2p from National Insurance to Income Tax could raise £6 billion while protecting workers’ pay packets. Here's what you need to know 👇 👇 👇

Outrageous and plain wrong!

This would be good ! 🔻🔻🔻

So we're putting in a mass digital id database immediately before a potential Reform government that will use it to deport and brutalise millions of people? Your local supermarket refusing to let you buy food without your id card in 2030 cos right to work checks morphed into right to eat checks.

FBI Director Kash Patel claimed there’s ‘no credible evidence’ Epstein trafficked anyone at all. But Virginia Giuffre is about to speak from the grave in her memoir Nobody’s Girl, detailing exactly how she and others were trafficked to rich and powerful men. Out Oct 21.

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t... Homeland Security chief accepted bribes from undercover cops and it’s just another day in the Trump kleptocracy. How can we do business with such a crooked country?

Morally repugnant is the right words !

Really excellent from Scotland's FM. A politician showing some humanity unlike some others ....🔻🔻

The only way to protect your future is by taxing the billionaires more. At the @makethempay.bsky.social rally today.

This is very illuminating on 'out of work' benefit stats. Extremely concerning that public policy, for example punitive benefit conditionality and sanctions,is based in faulty data.... 🔻

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank. Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall. (Published 2021)

To the children, students and families from Gaza arriving in Scotland for medical care: You are welcome here. Our communities will stand by you as neighbours and friends, and Scotland stands with the people of Palestine. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇸

Our billionaire king gets exemptions on capital gains tax, inheritance tax, corporation tax and more. Next week we're bringing a vote to end the 100% tax break he gets when buying property in Scotland. Power and privilege is no reason to avoid paying your fair share.

Such an amazing sight !💚

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Disgraceful...

The Oscar-winning star of “Oppenheimer” Cillian Murphy, Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish, and award-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix are among the dozens of celebrities who have called for a ceasefire in Gaza in a new video released ahead of a benefit concert in London.

So sad. No more Ben & Jerry's icecream for my family...🍨

Brilliant turnout.Trump is such a bad role model for youngsters. Leaders should care about all of the human race. 🙏

Spot on @privateeyenews.bsky.social !

Trump not welcome here. Trump is funding genocide. 🔻🔻

Prominent figures in the US and UK deliberately talk down our country, and in particular, our capital city. Yet the latest evidence is clear: a record number of US citizens are now applying for citizenship in the UK. For many Americans I speak with, it’s because of our values.

Great to see Windsor Castle having images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein projected on to it conveying the sleaze and immorality of Trump, Epstein & by association Peter Mandelson. And projecting the image of one of Epstein's victims: Virginia Giuffre. #USStateVisit

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.

Cathy Newman "Does [Keir Starmer] face the kind of oblivion that you took the party to in 2019?" @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social : "It wasn't oblivion in 2019, it actually got a million votes more than was received for Labour 4 years later"

Biggest shock since I discovered that the Pope is Catholic 😲

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Thinking for some reason about this right now @royalsociety.org

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country. Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.

Good to see my colleague @gsamaras.bsky.social on Channel 4 News discussing the dangers posed by the far-right racists marching through London today - and the need for the government to push back on their hatred and lies. [about 8 minutes in] www.channel4.com/programmes/c...

Reform’s first London councillor is a rogue landlord with a 33-person HMO! Great story by @andrewkersley.bsky.social. Shooter has been fined for illegally renting out crammed bedsits in Camden. And one of his former tenants is.. @zackpolanski.bsky.social. www.the-londoner.co.uk/reforms-firs...
