Why do dozens of MPs need second jobs? It‘s a terrible look and it’s eroding trust in our politics. Sign our letter to the Committee on Standards. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/189498/...

I'm not suggesting there have not been errors (for me, particularly over Gaza) but I don't believe that is a reason to abandon all hope and there is an increasing list of good things. I'm prepared to judge at the end of term, not at the start. None of us have enough understanding of Geopolitics imho

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me?

The Iran war is making everything more expensive for us, but some companies are cashing in. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now demanding they are taxed more on their record profits to help us all with the cost of living. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

In a different time I’m guessing #TheDailyFail would lead with this headline “Hitler laughs and shows just how gullible a PM Chamberlain is as he shows him exactly how to be a winner in Europe”❗️

The good news. The vast majority of the people on BlueSky are decent, reasonable, intelligent, educated, cultured, tolerant, and peace-loving. The bad news is that we are about 0.025% of the world's population.

Keep calm. Examine the evidence. The evidence shows that there is nothing to fear in the existence of LGBT persons, and much to celebrate in the diversity that they bring to our common humanity.

“The UK, Germany, France and Italy said the move was "de facto discriminatory" and "Israel risks undermining its commitments to democratic principles".”

“Musk is by far the world’s richest person, with an estimated net worth of $823.8 billion as of Thursday. He’s expected to soon become the world’s first trillionaire...” How in any sane universe is this a good thing?

I may be wrong Allan but I trusted Starmer when he was competing for the leadership. When he became leader and ditched the pledges he made I felt betrayed. Then he defended Israel’s actions against Gaza and now allows US to use our airfields to bomb Iran. Seems without principle. What am I missing?

Half a dozen times this morning I've seen propaganda from the right claiming the US supplies 2/3rds of NATOs funding. This is objectively false.

The snowpack accounts for ~30% of California's water storage. Reservoirs are full, but water will need to be carefully conserved. Worldwide, if we're to protect the water we need, it's vital better stewardship of water goes hand in hand with fighting climate change. share.google/TXctJhRkSoTU...

Zillow and Redfin should be making the housing market more accessible and affordable for Americans looking to a buy a home. Instead, they’re being sued for killing competition to juice their profits. Concentrated corporate power is making this country unaffordable.

Trump is extracting wealth out of the country, burning up the American middle class with illegal taxes, illegal deportations and an illegal war, but we the people are the problem. We’re asking for too much.

When a party is built around Nigel Farage’s image, instead of strong people and serious organisation, chaos is inevitable.

Brexit proved to me, beyond doubt, that this turned out to be true:

You know part of you that sometimes thinks that bad things somehow need to happen so that people… ‘learn lessons’ and ‘never make the same stupid decisions again’: Ignore it. They will never learn. They will keep making stupid decisions.

I sadly see a lot of accounts now that I thought were good, anti-Starmer in a way that is just warped. Has he done everything right, of course not and I question many decisions but is the trajectory forwards, absolutely and we need to remember he inherited the biggest shit show in history.

Former Labour cabinet minister Liam Byrne has told the Byline Times Podcast his party has shifted too far to the right in its bid to see off the challenge of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, while neglecting the views of progressive voters in the centre and on the left.

King Charles’s state visit to US will be ‘humiliation’ amid Iran war. Cancel the visit. It is part of appeasement of a crazed felon who doesn't respect international law. Must work with the EU. Abandon dollarisation of trade, which gives US a cut from every trade. Trade in local currencies.

Sadly, not shocked at these neoliberal bastards. Neoliberalism has been debunked so often why does anyone still believe in this crap?

Have you seen this? Reform UK has just pledged to rip up legal protections for workers and renters. I'm really worried about it. I've signed a petition to stop the steal. Can you add your name too? www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/st...
