We’re watching fascism evolve in real time. It’s terrifying how quickly rights and protections can be dismantled.

EcoCounts in North / Central London is recruiting two trustees - one in governance mainly and one fundraising lead. reachvolunteering.org.uk/opp/trustee-...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Telling the public that people fleeing torture and war are not the enemy is how we fight the far right. But here’s Starmer saying the far right is right and reducing human rights is the answer. 😞

I have questions

It’s almost like The Torygraph don’t care about facts, they just want to push an agenda 🤷‍♀️

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?” A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages. It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Do the steps sound familiar?

I’m sure these donors believe Reform is best for our country, and not at all that it’s the party that will allow them to amass the most personal wealth by whatever dubious means and to hell with everyone else.

These are not smart people. 😞

Word

Trump says Putin wants to end war, but also wants to keep the bit of Ukraine he’s invaded. Since he’s not winning any time soon, it’s unclear how he can force Ukraine to let him have it.

I’ve never prayed so hard for a poll to be true.

Copying Denmark’s hardline asylum policy a ‘terrible idea’, Danes say Helene Brydensholt of the The Alternative party has urged the UK Government to think again, explaining it’s been a disaster for integration and led to more racism www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

So much stupid in one comment 🙄

Why aren’t people being paid enough to live on? Isn’t this just a subsidy to businesses who underpay their staff? And if so, let’s call it what is.

WTF is wrong with Labour? Has noone in the cabinet learnt anything from 1930s Germany, or what’s currently happening in the US?

Never thought I’d say this, but Pope Leo is taking a pretty strong stand on what are *actual* Christian values, and the Church of England should too.

Oh good. More media controlled by ever fewer men who use their power to serve their own ends at everyone else’s expense.😒

The government have opened a consultation on drastically limiting the Indefinite Leave to Remain system. Presumably they're hoping not many people will notice that it's taking place. So if you have views or know anyone who does, please take the opportunity to respond. www.gov.uk/government/c...

But if the government start taxing the likes of Starbucks & they leave, Are we seriously saying that Britain will stop drinking coffee? £3 billion in UK sales & they don't want to pay tax? It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

Got my boiler fixed today and set the heating nice and high to warm everywhere up. Now my entire house is like a furnace. I miss being cold. 😐

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum. UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands) UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany) Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.

“There are not many places in the world where you can go from a council estate to becoming Mayor. But that’s the promise of London…If you’re willing to work hard, this city will give you a helping hand, ensuring there’s no limit to what you can achieve.” — @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

So much to dissect here. I’m going to start with ‘frozen hot chocolate’.

Last night I dreamt I single-handedly stopped a major heist that started in a department store. Also in my dream: husband cross because the criminals had my phone so I didn’t let him know I’d be late meeting him for dinner. 🙄

The AI you didn’t ask for and don’t want is now risking your pension 😐

if you are disgusted by government proposals for refugees - please, please write to both your local MP and to [email protected] Fill their inbox with your shock and dismay. Be polite but be clear If you want text then I'm happy to share what I wrote

This is why people don’t like politicians - not answering the question* but trotting out some pompous and meaningless way of avoiding answering. * Obviously he *can’t* answer the question because then he’d have to acknowledge how monstrous this policy is.

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel. Controlled migration is good for the country, helps build our economy and diversity strengthens our communities. (1/6) 🧵

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

I wish more Labour MPs would stand up and say this stuff. Surely *most* of them hate what the government is doing?

Just another of those days when I hate this government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Just *once* I’d like to start the day without being incredibly disappointed in Labour.

Our Labour government is now transparently absorbing far right immigration policies like a jellyfish digesting used condoms.

What’s wrong with Labour? I don’t care if they think this stuff is popular, they should be doing what is *right*.

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Seems like Homeland Security’s Twitter account is being run by a 14 year old. Hope he enjoys his work experience. 😐

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please can the Labour Party take note and stop spouting crap that appeals to the 10%.

Defend the BBC before it’s gone – an open letter The BBC isn’t perfect – but it’s ours. If we don’t defend it now, we may lose a cornerstone of British democracy By Dr Russell Jackson @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @docrussjackson.bsky.social

Alexa, how does the Labour government decide policy?

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

Not now, Lucifer Bee.
