If you want some fact based citizen journalism- have a look at these local outlets. Give them a follow, they are leading the way in speaking truth to power. Well done @georgemonbiot.bsky.social for highlighting their work. This is a starter pack I’d like to see created.

@zoebeaty.bsky.social - excellent article

apple.news/AF1FqAOnZRL2... For those of us who remember the awful racial hatred of ‘70’s & ‘80’s, today’s racism hidden under the banner of ‘free speech’ is terrifying. Zoe Beaty is right, it seems very different & much more dangerous.

In the absence of any kind of leadership from Labour on this @zackpolanski.bsky.social & @zoejardiniere.bsky.social are shouting how much we need immigrants from the rooftops. Like MAGA who have seen their Medicare disappear, we will witness the destruction of the NHS if people vote for Reform.

Hypocrite. Show me the stats.

This is exactly what 🍊💩 has done with government workers in the US. The civil service keeps the DVLA, Land Registry, HMRC etc. running whoever is in No.10. Reform are liars. They are using racism & immigration to divide us & bring in a US style of authoritarianism. Don’t let them win.

This is an excellent article showing the money trails from the far right in the US to Robinson here in the UK. The links from these organisations show how dangerous they are to our country. We must not allow them to sow their hate& division over here. They are aggressively trying to expand &recruit

The UK media could take a leaf out of Bronwen’s book. Not all heroes wear capes. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

No parent should ever get a text like this from their child at school. Put metal detectors on all entrances. UK schools have tall metal fences, keycard entry &a secure space at reception for visitors to enter that doesn’t give access to the rest of the school. Why can anyone just walk in?

The British public overwhelmingly support this bill. The unelected chamber of Lords should keep this fact in mind when voting. Like abortion, if you do not want to use the freedoms given to you with this bill it is your choice not to use them. Do not take that freedom of choice from others.

Can someone tell me what a moderation list is?

This is a shocking thing for Johnson to say. I do not condone what has happened to him in any way but Kirk did not have reasonable opinions. None of his rhetoric was common sense - it was hateful, racist & sexist. This is a reminder of the ‘reasonable’ ideology behind the right in the UK.

MAGA the🍊💩 has conned you. He fed your outrage at imaginary Democrat & immigrant paedophiles to get your vote, knowing his own degenerate,sordid deeds would land him in jail one day- but not if he was voted in as president. He used you. The GOP are protecting him, not the victims. Vote them out.

So @carolinelucas.bsky.social & @zackpolanski.bsky.social here’s what you need to do in my area (Sussex): we’ve had an influx of young families since Covid, it’s a true blue area BUT, noone is talking to the centre right voters or to more liberal families. We can get the tories out with your help

Exactly- considering she was a former waitress. Also, why won’t he release his tax returns? Any leader of a political party who wants to be PM should show they pay their fair share (not have money offshore like Farage) here in the UK.

Yes it is. Well done The National. This is shameful, we are complicit in genocide.

Infrastructure projects like high speed rail bring jobs, not just in the building of them (& ancillary services) &boost the local economy. Once built, they bring young families to dying areas, reviving local communities. Reform don’t care about anything other than enriching their billionaire friends

Any handwriting experts out there? Oh wait, we don’t need one because we have eyes…

Art speaks truth to power.

Look, I’m no handwriting expert, but it looks pretty real to me. We need some good moral people on the FBI to make sure none of this evidence goes missing.

A hoax? Here are the receipts. Definitely his signature.

apple.news/A5qEJAhEvQA6... Love this from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Is TACO scared to face him? This is a debate I’d actually pay to see 🫣

This is not what we’re about. Just like 🍊💩 in the US, Farage is legitimising racism, discrimination & religious intolerance. Pls help to stop this festival.

The Home Office has the power to block the overseas bands from entering the UK, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Join us and email the Home Office now: secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/176528/...

OMG this is their MAGA hat. When I tell you he is a 🍊💩 in waiting, believe me. We cannot go the way of the US sh*tshow. Do not believe Farage’s lies.

DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT #FARAGE ALWAYS BEING ON TV IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED THIS PETITION !!! DO IT!!!!! RT and thankyou for your attention to this matter! 😰 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Yes @stellacreasy.bsky.social has a better record on Gaza &women’s rights than just about any other MP. She’d be on my fantasy football team of a new political party along with Ruth Davidson, @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social Teresa May @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social-who’d be on yours?

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Elbows up Canada 🇨🇦

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/ 💗

Elon, why not use a FRACTION of yr wealth to end homelessness?Or give kids free school meals?Or build affordable rent controlled housing?Or create high quality, low cost childcare?Or set up a national independent electoral commission for free, fair elections &end gerrymandering? Try being a good guy

Yes @eddavey.libdems.org.uk. It is completely Farage’s fault for Brexit & the end of the Dublin 3 agreement that let us send back some migrants. Churchill would be aghast as a founder of post WW2 institutions. Now Nige actually wants to engage with monsters & torturers to send humans back to them?

Imagine a world without people using religions & their books to justify greed, slavery, sexism, racism, homophobia, cruelty & spite. John Lennon had the right idea.

Ffs. Was there a paedophile he didn’t party with? MAGA seriously?!

Seems the simplest solution 😁

Excellent debunking of religious’morality’. Hypocrisy exposed with brilliant fact checking. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It always shocks me that there are ‘reasonable’ people in middle England who vote for these dictator wannabes. Their promises are lies. They don’t represent us, they are millionaires who want to create a theocratic dictatorship like the US. Look at their funding. Do not believe their lies.

No. We own the BBC through our license fee. Adam highlights a massive issue @adambienkov.bsky.social If you live in the UK, pls sign the petition (in my previous post from @fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social ) to get fair political coverage or complain here: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

This is a really important petition. We’ve all seen what billionaires buying the media has done in the US. We must stop it happening here. Right wing media only sows hate & division that promotes the removal of women’s & lgbtqia rights. Please sign.

Utterly beautiful. We should all aspire to be more like Canada 🇨🇦 💗

People of Mississippi, if you want to continue to follow the Mississippi Free Press please see links to them in @ashtonpittman.bsky.social ‘s posts.

This is the sort of person we need protection from. Not a destitute man from Afghanistan seeking asylum.

And never repeat it. This is why we never stop teaching our children about our past - the good, the bad AND the ugly.

Farage will follow the US down the ICE route with our police & army. He is using 🍊💩’s playbook, using the same MAGA media tactics to divide us. We fight back with facts. Flood social media with facts about immigration. @zoejardiniere.bsky.social & @bylinetimes.bsky.social are great places to start

Hear hear 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Because we have all experienced some kind of discrimination, subjugation & oppression no matter where we live - we value our human rights. Right wing politics do not treat us as human beings with equal worth to men.

This mountain of a man has a heart bigger than the moon. 💗

This is spot on. Do not fall for Reform’s lies.

Maybe they’ve noticed that the ‘man of the people’ is a millionaire public schoolboy funded by right wing religious zealots. Maybe they’ve worked out he wants to kill the NHS for a US insurance system, give tax cuts to corps & millionaires while polluting our land, sea & air so his mates profit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow
