Huge concern in New York that Zohran Mamdani is spending $122 million on schools and hiring 1,000 school teachers when that money could be buying bombs for Israel

I can think of at least "5 milllion" reasons why they shouldn't

Labour is challenging its leader over whether he’s delivering change fast enough for the public. Reform UK’s leader is engulfed in scandal encompassing potential corruption and financial deceit, and its members don’t care. The difference between a democratic political party and a leadership cult.

The fact that a neo-Nazi teenager who attempted to behead a Kurdish barber in Bristol last year has just been sentenced to almost 20 years in prison isn’t *national* news is enormously telling. It’s really not just a South West story, is it?

Fartrage put in his place "Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Well said that man. More balls than ALL the media.

NEW: Reform won 300 councillors because of first past the post. Read and share 👇

Why Palantir’s NHS data tools may not improve our healthcare Uptake of Palantir’s Federated Data Platform has been limited, and it faces continuing strong opposition from patients and NHS staff By No Palantir in NHS Campaign W Yorkshire

Oh, look who his favourite crypto is funding... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Another piece of rage bate artfully debunked by @monkemma.bsky.social but no doubt too late to stop the misinformation being treated as gospel.🤨 Give her a follow.

If only Ed Miliband and Rachael Reeves had actually ‘broken the link’ - our energy bills would be lower now - I’ve shown them both how ’the link’ added £43 billion to our energy bills in 2023. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

I've donated to this crowdfunder as an act of solidarity with young Black people who continue to face overwhelming prejudice and disadvantage in the workplace. White supremacists want this to continue but we absolutely cannot let them win.

A new day in Westminster. The King's Speech is a moment to come together behind a Labour legislative programme. From strengthening the UK/EU relationship, bringing the leasehold system to an end, to how we can accelerate to energy independence. It's not time for a leadership election 👇

News notifications coming in thick and fast… Head in hands. Anyone else feeling absolutely trapped in this political hellhole? My new piece below… open.substack.com/pub/marinapu...

I did this, with some regret- but frankly, Palantir is structurally a psyops business led by eugenicists, and have no good intentions for us.

The media is in full blood lust and may soon be feeding off a 7th PM in 10 years. Our politics looks increasingly unserious. Although Labour MPs have lots of justifiable concerns, a little pause for thought might yet be good for both them and the country.

This scam is all about the money. Everlee was detained at LAX nearly a month ago. Surely they could have just deported her on the next available flight? That’s what other countries do.

The Palantir saga rolls on. Some external admin accounts were granted access to identifiable patient data before they were anonymised. If you want to prevent your data being used for purposes other than your direct care you can use the NHS National Data Opt-Out service to register your preference.

No 10: "A further sanctions package against Russia in response to foreign interference in elections and forced deportation of Ukrainian children comes into effect today. These sanctions are aligned with EU sanctions...alongside £1.2 million to support tracing forcibly deported Ukrainian children."

That’s two very expensive Essex by-elections coming up. How’s all that Reform money saving going? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Time for the likes of Farage and Oakeshott to come clean about the impact of their beloved Brexit on our ability to return those arriving illegally from France.🤷🏻‍♀️

Just in case you had doubts about why we need to eradicate any links between Palantir & the NHS …

Here's where Louis Mosley, the black-shirt wearing grandson of the black-shirt wearing fascist Oswald Mosley, who runs Palantir in the UK, says how and when they might use your medical data for "immigration enforcement" and, by logical extension, whatever other purposes became convenient.

The Conservatives made life unbearable for those of us already struggling, so there was huge anticipation, and expectation, that a Labour government would improve things swiftly, that hasn’t come to pass, so I get the frustration, but Farage will never be the answer, he hates us.

Election results clearly show a huge chunk of the population have zero political interest, they just see headlines on Facebook and X, and the bot-generated responses. Then they vote for the party they’ve been duped into. They don’t even know the candidates name, let alone their opinions or past.

Absolutely disrespectful. REFUK should stand the cost of the subsequent by-elections.

The Govt. uses Statutory Instruments to make the day to day work get done. They put bills before Parliament, many of which are not controversial & draw cross party support. There are also Parliamentary committees in action, with all parties represented. All go togeher to make the system work.

Absolutely this. There must be a consequence for misleading the electorate and the candidate/their party should cover the costs of their disingenuous behaviour.

2 party politics - dead and buried. FPTP should be as well…

Sadly, I think many have genuinely forgotten.

All is not lost: An estimated 74% of voters who bothered to turn out in the local elections yesterday did NOT vote for Reform. Let that sink in.

🇬🇧🙄 Posted on Threads. Meanwhile, if you have been ‘gifted’ a Rfm councillor, turn yourself into Indignant Council Taxpayer. Email them about: unmown verges/bins/ parking/ gulleys/ dog poo/ dog poo bins/ litter/ fly tipping/noise/ dirty streets/potholes It’s only what they were elected to do!

So important! You can hand your postal vote to a polling station tomorrow! Just vote!

Remember, if you have elections tomorrow, just get out there and vote Labour tomorrow because of all the great stuff they have done this last 20 months and the repair job they are doing nationally and locally - including supporting local councils with more funding. 1/2

We can't prosecute Water Companies for polluting every river and most of the seas in England. We can't prosecute the people who burned 72 people alive at Grenfell. But if you inconvenience the people selling weapons to commit Genocide. We can.

Evening Mr #Farage. Even if there wasn't a legal obligation to declare this unusually generous gift, did it it occur to you that there might be a moral obligation? To let your cash-strapped working voters know about this? Or are morals outside your terms of reference? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK media is letting Reform receive tens of millions from controversial billionaires, with very little scrutiny. I analysed how many times our media posted about those billionaires vs. far less significant Labour 'scandals'. The results are genuinely shocking. open.substack.com/pub/donmcgow...

Nigel Farage isn’t distracting me from his £5m+ bung by threatening Green voters. You?

Obviously that Reform policy would face legal challenges but I guess that's not the point. The point is spreading and inciting hate. The media really does need to robustly challenge them on it because it's not okay to even suggest you might punish people for not voting for you, let alone to do it.

It’s time to evolve beyond the journalistic credo of “if it bleeds it leads”. It’s time to reject the fear based manipulation, and show up in numbers for the beliefs and actions that will move us forward. Hate and fear are such a waste. Think of what could be accomplished if we choose love.

Farage wants to follow the same playbook as his idol, Donald Trump, using money and power to enrich himself and his cronies. We cannot allow that kind of cronyism to take hold in Britain.

Starmer got free glasses = media outrage Farage gets £5m = very little fuss Something terribly wrong with UK media.

Has Lord Bamford of JCB settled his £500,000 tax dispute with HMRC then?

Who could possibly imagine a guy with a "good line of crap" getting in there & America being stuck with a moron? Sometimes his unique combination of massive ego with zero self awareness = Comedy Gold! 🤣 #MOTUS

A great debunking of Richard Tice’s latest dog whistle whinge.

While political journos obsess over Westminster gossip, and stirring up one of their beloved leadership contests; the level of delivery of real & positive change by Keir Starmer's government, is off the scale.

Strongly disagree with Nelson on his claim that Farage offers “*genuine* hope to people who feel betrayed by the established parties” As with Brexit, it’s hope built on lies and prejudice, funded by corrupt power-brokers who offer nothing but cost and loss to ordinary people. The ultimate betrayal.
