If labour had spent the last year on the front foot against farage, banning fracking, cancelled the benefit cap, and not been a bunch of dicks, I would have been impressed.

Another totally unnecessary killjoy measure from Labour... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform voters are *never* going to vote for a progressive party. You cannot win them over. They used to keep it quiet because it was not acceptable, and vote Conservative. Racism has been made acceptable and so they vote Reform openly. They always were lost.

Sadly the UK does not get to lecture China on Tibet... We literally arrest our pensioners for holding signs opposing genocide, and brand them as terrorists, with the risk of 14 years in prison. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Since privatisation England's water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends. 90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts. 90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends. Public ownership would make a difference.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass: all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff stop burning stuff for heat stop burning stuff for make car go stop burning stuff for power we have the tools

Wow. just wow. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

EU officials warn climate breakdown and wildlife loss ‘are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy’ - and all the Commission seem interested in doing is throwing more fuel on the fire. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Chris Woakes retires. Thanks for all the 30s with the tail. Thanks for averaging under 30. Class act with the ball, very decent with the bat.

Ryder Cup Golf. The US crowd were disrespectful to Europe. Straight white middle class European men suddenly understand what it is like to be a minority. Outrage ensues.

So if the opinion polls showed the Green Party in the lead, the bbc et al would have to provide wall to wall coverage of @zackpolanski.bsky.social right? RIGHT?

EXCLUSIVE: Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel behind Trump exporting MAGA playbook to Britain - embedding across three parties: Blue Labour, Tories, Reform - via a network of race science believers. By me with @peterjukes.bsky.social via @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

Sakher shouldn't be going through this.

It’s about time transphobia was pathologised. There’s clearly something very wrong with these people who devote their lives to going after a tiny minority who do no harm whatsoever. I think transphobes should be rounded up, studied in laboratories, & held in secure hospitals until a cure is found.

Keir Starmer comments about Reform are no more sincere than Wes Streeting saying trans people should be treated with 'respect and dignity'. They are words meant for Labour supporters who don't really care about either 'issue' but want some nice things to point to. Their actions tell you everything

Too late. I've been pushing the hell out of it for 9 months, and the signup hasn't even increased by 100k pledges, when it'd take 11 million to have any effect. If they start shooting peaceful protesters in Portland we are at war.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Got my performance review.

Was in a charity shop earlier and my friend asked the till lady, "what animals does your charity rescue?" and she replied... "We rescue starving abandoned animals in the Ukraine" Not a laughing matter.

Starmer will not make it to the next election, as he is corrupt and hollow. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

the original is a banger:

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

So, why didn't he ban it like he's doing to just stop oil and Palestinian Action?

Climate News Round Up Friday 26-09-2025 1. The Overton Window - Roaming death squads or climate justice - the future will be what we make it:

I work with those in poverty. Frontline. Many do not have a smart phone, or have a broken phone with smashed screens they cannot replace. Often poor digital skills and and/or poor literacy. It will put up yet another barrier.

How would this be any different to us each having a unique National Insurance Number, if its intent is purely to stop people working illegally?

Great article by @bylinetimes.bsky.social showing the lies Farage is pumping out but not being challenged by any other news outlets. These lies are designed to create a UK MAGA - we do not need the US’s private health, racism, homophobia, transphobia or misogyny over here. Do not believe his lies.

If you ever visit the birth town of Shakespeare to see a play you must pronounce it Stratford, UPON AVON, lest anyone think you are going instead to see the Abba holograms.

Labour announce ID cards. So they can give your data to AI companies. Kier Starmer, the Big Wanker, is Watching You

Sarkozy and Bolsanaro facing jail. Silver linings.

Everything is political except for mass shootings- American proverb

Forget narcism, and the dangers of a dictator confusing his delusions with reality. The REAL problem is America is doing white supremacy & racism well, and getting good grades in transphobia, but it needs better grades in eugenics! Today on: We So Fucking Are The Baddies episode no. Too Many...

a reminder that the “first they came for” poem was written by a nazi who did not include how he actively contributed to everyone before him in the poem getting disappeared, which describes pretty well the average person with power in our society.

This is a really political position. I associate it with 'they are all the same' pro brexit punch down types.

I was a paid up member of the anti nazi league aged 15. Have attended counter protests. Perform left wing folk songs. I am non-binary. Best give up on taking my daughter to Disney Land... fuck. They won't ever let me in.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Folks, this is huge news! Quds News Network: "Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announces deployment of a naval vessel to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla following yesterday’s Israeli attack, safeguarding activists aboard the convoy heading to break the Gaza blockade."

Climate News Round Up Tuesday 23-09-2025 1. Some interesting weather patterns over Scandinavia and Finland

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

I am not an Christian. But I have read the bible extensively, and practiced it till my late teens. Farage would have been a very bad Samaritan.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.
