To every Trump voter on SNAP, you hear Republicans calling you lazy, right? They’re saying you’re fat and that you don’t work. That’s YOUR party. They’re letting you starve while accusing you of asking for handouts you don’t deserve. Did you vote for that?

👎 Lord Paul Murphy said some small businesses in Britain simply “don’t bother” trading with Northern Ireland anymore because of the burden of bureaucracy created by the Windsor Framework. https://www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/post-brexit-rules-something-you-32818224

I simply don't bother trying to trade with any country in the EU. I used to export services to the EU and pay tax to HMRC. Now I stay at home.

Unless you are of sufficient size to set up an EU based subsidiary, you will lose more money than you make. That is what the TCA + the rules on sourcing boil down to in the end.

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year. Country surrounded by water has water shortages. 2024: 1trn litre of lost to leaks. Sewage dumped in rivers for 4m hours. No new reservoirs. Investment neglected, £85bn paid in dividend. Record high water bills. People fleeced.

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party. For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London. Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Following media reports? You mean by ⁦‪Byline Times? I know we cause you some grief ⁦‪BBCNews‬⁩ by criticising the role of Robbie Gibb - but credit where credit is due www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Darren knows that come the next election, Bristol is turning even more Green. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thank God Jaywick has Nigel Farage batting for it on the world stage now!

Fucking Krasnov 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

🚨 Systematic looting by greedy shareholders and kleptocratic senior management while building no reservoirs in 30 years; how the privatised water companies have reduced us to almost perma-drought conditions. Public ownership is the only viable solution. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

They only do stuff for Billionaires and property developers and Black Rock.

I'd love the government to appoint someone like Caroline Lucas to run asylum seekers accommodation, with a brief to make it humane, effective and efficient, and remove all the profiteers from the supply chain.

It seems pretty risky to tell people they won't see the change they want if they vote Green, given that they already voted Labour and didn't see the change they wanted.

*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!? The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

2m UK pensioners live in poverty, 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Neoliberals pushing to cut/freeze state pension. Evidence: UK state pension is the worst among G7 nations, last on replacement rates, joint-last on state pension spending. Britons receive pension for fewer years than most.

One of the biggest problems with mainstream media is its regular platforming of lunatic people with mad ideas. Particularly the BBC, which is meant to be about public education. UK politics is broken in large part because we have lazy gatekeepers of MSM. Which is why so many are turning off MSM.

We all value ‘the rule of law’. But whose law & rules? Corporations/Rich v Masses. The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few. A few crumbs are thrown to pacify the masses but these are concessions and can be withdrawn. See the linked article.

Majority of people not proud of post-Brexit Britain, new survey reveals www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier. No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

If NHS trusts hadn’t had to pay more than £1.8 billion in *interest charges* to private companies, that money could have paid for the starting salaries of over 50,000 NHS doctors 😮🚨

13 East Anglian neighbourhoods are among England’s most deprived 1%. Every one lies on the coast. The poorest voted Reform. A warning about what happens when seaside towns are left behind.

This would be a more convincing argument if Keir Starmer had not himself made a whole series of promises which he then declared completely undeliverable as soon as he became leader www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

We got to be getting close to the part where Melania tells us to eat cake.

This is how it's done

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

It’s the Oval Office, reimagined as a Spirit Halloween pop-up for aspiring autocrats. Every inch screams “What if Louis XIV discovered QVC?”

In a world of Jeffs, be like MacKenzie.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump My god. If only @arusbridger.bsky.social was a BBC director instead of Robbie Gibb. The whole country would be in a much better state www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

🔴We Need to Talk About Michael Gove and Crony Covid Contracts Gove claims he had no “active role” in the procurement of Covid PPE during the pandemic, yet evidence suggests he was involved in multiple VIP deals worth over £1billion, reports Russell Scott www.bylinesupplement.com/p/we-need-to...

Completely beyond why people try to defend Labour record on treatment of asylum seekers. They are awful. They have done terrible things the Tories never even thought of, like denying any refugee who came here through irregular means from EVER becoming a citizen & ENDING FAMILY REUNIFICATION. demons.

The quality of decision making has dropped so low that the govt no longer even PUBLISHES its own quality assessment of claims. This piles up thousands more people in the appeals process, the govt solution? Scrap the appeals tribunal. Genius. Oh, & empty hotels by... filling disused army barracks???

Here's to hope! Thanks Vogue! www.vogue.co.uk/article/zohr...

EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040 E.g. Lisbon to Warsaw, from 38 hours today to 12 hours Pricing to compete with low cost flights Reduce emissions by 80% Jokes on them, they don't have Brexit sovereignty 🤷‍♂️

A criminal court in Brussels on Wednesday convicted two Polish nationals – including a current European Parliament assistant – of misusing EU funds tied to political entities associated with Brexit-backer Nigel Farage. https://bit.ly/4oSrA0R

It’s absurd that private jet fuel is still untaxed when ordinary people are seeing living costs go up and up. I joined We Are Possible to call on the Chancellor to end this unfairness & make the richest pay their fair share, to support our public services & a healthy environment

📑 Researchers from King's College London (KCL) said a "frightening increase in the sense of national division" that began post-Brexit appears to have "morphed into" party political and other splits around immigration and “culture wars”. https://bit.ly/4oy9Zf2

Labour were broken a long time ago. Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires. A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them. Time to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Keir Starmer needs to wake up and fix our broken voting system before the next election, or he risks letting Nigel Farage into Number 10. We will keep fighting for fair votes to make sure every voice is heard.

The BBC’s in a mess, but it’s not the mess you think www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

Davey says his party would “work with government " to move away from current electoral system. Starmer supported electoral reform during his bid to become Labour leader in 2020 but has since dropped his pledge & did not include it in party's election manifesto www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The level of talent, imagination, or frankly brainpower in our political class is truly staggeringly low sometimes. No wonder we’re in such a mess 😭😅😅🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😫
