How about forgetting about a useless digital ID no one needs or wants, and focusing on what we do need/want? Like, lowering bills. Redistribution of wealth. Nationalizing public services, especially water. Removing privatization from the NHS. Manufacturing our own drugs. Undoing Brexit. #VoteGreen

People voted to make the UK more prosperous & influential. They were told this could be done by making it harder to trade & cooperate with the group of countries which are physically closest to the UK & constitute our biggest market. That was bollocks. You need to acknowledge this to move on.

This made me smile

It was people like this, who encouraged people to vote Leave, because they didn't think unelected bureaucrats in the EU should interfere in British politics. Meanwhile....

Your regular reminder that Nigel Farage & Reform wants to dismantle what is left of our NHS and replace it with a US style privatised healthcare system where the superrich get healed, the well-off go bankrupt, and the poor live in agony and die young via Huddersfield TUC

This is due to the failure to fix social care, and Labour’s hostility towards immigrants will only make it worse.

Tomorrow will mark ten years since the death of David Bowie. And yet, Trump and Farage are still alive. It’s no wonder I’m an atheist.

The Americans who watched the January 6th attack on the Whitehouse, yet still couldn’t bring themselves to vote for either party intrigue me. What would it take to motivate these people? Do they even realise they have blood on their hands?

Reposting this again because... Every...Single...Word...!

Good to see BBC Look North doing a report on fake social media posts that are clearly designed to promote hostility to asylum seekers. The posts claim to be from York city council and contain multiple spelling mistakes. Funny how these “patriots” can never spell.

One imbecile after another calling @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social comparing a woman trying to escape from ICE agents with a failure to stop for police. Clearly they are blissfully ignorant of ICE’s reputation for disappearing people.

Seems like a wasted opportunity for @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social when interviewing a senior politician, to not ask about the US government threatening Greenland and defending the murder of an innocent woman.

I’m sure @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social will ask him about this next time he’s on. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rather than allowing Streeting to tell us the NHS can be saved by apps , I’d like to hear what he’s doing about social care. Perhaps he’d like to personally explain why an 87 year old had to wait nearly 30 hours it a chair in A&E before a bed became available.

Michael Gove is on GMB. I do hope the two journalists there ask him how much he personally profited from the Covid contract VIP lane. I’d like him to be asked about this every time he appears on television. It might act as a deterrent.

The big falsehood,the one that Starmer still won’t call out, is that Brexit’s cheerleaders—Farage, Johnson etc—themselves believed Brexit would benefit the people they were selling it to. They knew it would harm the country but wanted it anyway for their own gain.

The money men know that if the working class United against the rich, they'd have a problem. So media encourages racist division instead. Classic divide and conquer.

Labour is very keen on working people in so far as they are units of production generating profits for corporations. Otherwise we are an irrelevance to be kept in subjugation .

Reform UK Review 2025 Nigel Farage buys a house in Clacton, angrily stating “what more can I do?!”. Turns out the “more he can do” is buy a house in Clacton. He then claims his girlfriend bought it.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve lovely phone family. How's everyone feeling? 🤗 I know this can be a really difficult time of year for many of you. Here are some great support charities (UK) if you need them. There's never any shame in asking for help. Have a fabulous day ☕️ #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️

I wonder if those calling @lewisgoodall.com criticising slavery reparations are aware that abolition was partly achieved by compensating slave owners. As taxpayers, we were paying back that loan until 2015. There’s something to be angry about.

People fleeing crushing poverty, actual threats to their lives & literal war are invaders who should be harassed & deported. Wealthy lifestyle tourists looking for lower school fees & cheaper meals out in places like Dubai are victims who deserve your sympathy & support. Please give generously.

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social Ask Streeting if he has accepted donations from private healthcare providers. If so, does he not see the conflict of interests. What is his plan for expanding social care, as this is vital for freeing up capacity in acute hospitals?

Absolutely heartbreaking call this morning to @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social from dad of trans son. No doubt soon to be followed by messages and calls from idiots with no personal experience but plenty of strong yet ill informed opinions.

Ed Davey has raised one of the most serious questions in British politics: why have Nigel Farage and his senior team repeatedly aligned themselves with Kremlin-backed media and messaging?

He will never "come clean." He doesn't have to bother. Over 80% of the RW press and MSM, led by Robbie Gibb's BBC, are desperate to see him in No 10. They won't allow any scrutiny of their "hero" now he is so close to power. When PM, Farage will follow Trump's lead and abolish regulatory bodies.

We need to be very clear here. Vote Reform get Maga. Which means very suspicious funding and influence from some pretty nefarious sources including the Kremlin. This is not a political party, it is an organisation seeking the complete overhaul of our institutions and political system.

Wes Streeting majority 528 thinks that NHS staff - 1.5 million of them - don’t vote

"We need to get rid of these immigrants so we can take care of our own" Immigration plummets. "We need to sort of these scrounging bastards on benefits" Everyone else can see this, right?

The NHS isn’t perfect. But it’s better than this. Reform voters need to realise what they might inflict on themselves and the rest of us.

When Vanessa Feltz @lbc.co.uk wants to discuss the cost of taxis for asylum seekers, who better to call on than Rob Bates of the centre for migration control. Reform Ltds go-to think tank are always ready with a dodgy statistic they can wilfully misinterpret to wind up the racists.

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day? Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

Putin's Poodle Still not explained why he gave the same themed pro-Russian speeches in the European Parliament as Nathan Gill. #ReformRussianBribes

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

Patriots are an odd bunch. Take Rees-Mogg for example... wants to do away with BBC, NT, British influence in EU, become a vassal state of US and use up all of our oil reserves to make us inhabit an unlivable planet.

Could it be possible that brexit was subsidised by the kremlin, but whole heartedly paid for by the taxpayer and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

In case you missed it ... Workers with a migration backgound recorded this powerful poem during the pandemic. They feared the UK and its politicians would soon forget how they helped the country survive. And they were right. Fickle politicians who clapped for them then now call them "strangers".

As a mother of two daughters, I wonder if our Home Secretary might feel I am partly to blame for increasing levels of misogyny in the UK.

Removing rights = greater profits. No wonder Boris and Farage have such backing. Understand your enemies. It is not immigrants but those trying to convince you that they are.

It’s interesting how many ex senior Tories have moved into journalism, giving them the perfect opportunity to whitewash their own reputations.

"Hands up if you caused 23,000 extra deaths by being a dithering incompetent twat"

Because the majority of our media is owned by billionaire individuals who profit from the ignorance of the masses. Very few 'journalists' actually do the job that historically the word 'journalist' represented, instead they peddle the views of the person who signs their paycheck.

@iaindale.bsky.social asks why are we so angry? We have an economy that is failing an increasing number of people. This began with the 80s Tory government, flogging off our assets and social housing stock. We’re now being ripped off paying for the essentials.

Pacify the right wing, and right wing views become more acceptable to many. It’s an abominable way to run a Labour govt, and will likely end in Reform being seen as fine by many many more.

Progressive politicians need to start setting the narrative of the above and not simply keep refuting the hard right’s destructive and divisive rhetoric. If we continue to play Farage’s game we’ll become stuck in his negative world and we’ll never progress. I don’t see many politicians capable tho 🤷‍♂️

The only way to defeat extremism is to be radical; radically honest and determined. Not take this shit any more. Tell people the truth. Why we need immigration. Why Brexit is a shitheap. Why our public services can’t cope. Why our economy is stuck… Anything other than that, Nigel is laughing at you.
