I was honoured to be invited to write a guest article for North West Bylines. Possibly a more controversial topic this time! northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/is-...

Corporate promises. A London council approved a landfill and an incinerator, in exchange for a publicly accessible nature reserve. Three decades later the land is still barren. £2.2m bond meant to guarantee funding has disappeared. Chicanery boosts profits. www.thelondonspy.co.uk/p/the-incine...

Preparing mass layoffs of civil servants in order to replace them with loyalists is another move from the authoritarian playbook www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

The results of our new megapoll with @yougov.co.uk blew our minds when we got them. Voters in every single constituency in England, Scotland & Wales want the government to prioritise trade with the EU over the US. Including in Clacton! Full results 👇

You’re well enough to go to school. You’re well enough to work. Except when you aren’t. Then you may use what limited energy you have to reach out for some resources to help. If you can. You find the safety nets are sparse, have gaping holes and netting of razor wire. Let’s make it even harder.

Misogyny & Extremism: A Connection We Cannot Ignore-misogyny remains unrecognised as form of extremism. Misogyny is not & cannot remain a side note to these acts. It is central to understanding & stopping these tragedies. We must call it what it is: a form of terror open.substack.com/pub/davidcha...

Hi, I’m God. You all died in 2016. And yes, this is Hell.

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

A very thoughtful piece by our mutual friend Gary Gilligan. Next time you’re tempted to be drawn into a spat with a crazed Brexiteer or MAGAt, pause for minute before replying… centralbylines.co.uk/opinion/enga...

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

Water SO polluted it can cause cancer & infertility but tell me once again about those profits #Anglian & #Affinity water companies. How is this acceptable???? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

These people will stop at nothing. You cannot bring a sternly worded letter to a gun fight. You’ll be dead on the ground, bleeding out while some criminal pisses on you. When will we learn?

📣 #MMIP This is my former boyfriend. He was Lakota. He was murdered in Fargo, ND. He was beaten so severaly that a portion of his skull was removed. He never regained consciousness. He died on May 3, 2013. His killers were never charged. White privilege. 🤬 Thechíhíla (I love you) 🕊️

Awkward for the Tories who have recently been so energized by grooming gangs

Oh myyy, a million followers here at The Good Place! That’s an unexpected milestone, especially in my 88th time going ‘round the sun. Let’s make the world a bit of a better place together, shall we?

Elon’s estranged daughter has re-entered the chat

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Seems Farage has lost 12 Reform Councillors… ooops 🫢 Have you checked down the back of the sofa Nige or under the bed.. or could they have been in your pocket 🤷🏼‍♂️😂🤣

Meta CEO and dog fucker Mark Zuckerberg has said that his platforms don’t need fact-checkers. So to celebrate this win for free speech, here are some of his best quotes: chaser.com.au/general-news...

Anyone in the Media going to ask Nigel Farage about this? No, thought not.

Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021: Meta = $0 Tim Cook = $0 Sam Altman = $0 Google = $200,000 Amazon = $200,000 Donations to Trump's inaugural fund in 2025: Meta = $1,000,000 Tim Cook = $1,000,000 Sam Altman = $1,000,000 Google = $1,000,000 Amazon = $1,000,000 The oligarchy is here.

Democide in our times In England 300,000 people a year die prematurely awaiting hospital appointment. Govts find money for wars, corporate bailouts/subsidies, tax cuts for the rich but neglect healthcare. Old, poor sacrificed to the gods of neoliberalism. Casualties of class war. archive.ph/NWX2g

Thank you to Guardian for highlighting this: 80 women allegedly killed by men in the UK in 2024.

I feel that the flag needs to be waved a bit this morning… It’s that time of day to state unequivocally that not only do we wish to be a part of Europe… …but those who sought to remove us from the advantageous lives that we once experienced should be duly investigated, and consequently locked up!

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

As long as Greenland and Canada and Panama are the biggest news stories, Hedgseth, Gabbard, Patel, and RFK Jr. are not. Just as they planned.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Former Tory MP Mark Jenkinson posts about hunting on X... "Hard to believe that one of the priorities of this Labour government is to ban rural traditions like this that harm neither man nor beast." I'm not sure he has got the hang of this hunting business...

There might be SOME of you who are not terminally online so don't know #DuvetKnowItsChristmas used to make Twitter a wonderful place on Christmas Eve, so RING OUT THE BELLS, it's going to make this place wonderful now.

Yes, people will post pictures on social media of sleeping arrangements on Xmas Eve and I will once again attempt to leverage this to raise money for charity — just pinning this to my profile to head off the relentless (i.e. sporadic) enquiries

Some hope of justice? 'Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth will work together to help five Just Stop Oil activists appeal their ‘record-length’ sentences. In July, Five Just Stop Oil activists were handed 4-5 year jail sentences for joining a Zoom call to discuss a protest on the M25 motorway.'

UK Govt spinning yarns. Whilst denying pension compensation to 1950s women, the Minister said the new State Pension will rise by more than £470 a year from April. What she didn't say was that only 26% of pensioners will get full amount, others less. www.gov.uk/government/s...

What the fuck do you do about these massive cu(l)ts?

As Liz Kendall stands at the despatch box right now, telling hundreds of thousands of WASPI women they won’t receive a penny in compensation, there are multiple articles on her website proclaiming support for WASPI women 👇
