Keir Starmer, "The biggest impact on the cost of living.. The Ukraine conflict.. The Iran conflict" The shame of not even mentioning Brexit making the country poorer with over £40 billion a year lost in tax revenue every year

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Drought isn’t a distant possibility, it’s here, pushing tens of millions of people towards starvation. And it’s no accident. It’s the direct result of a mindset that treats the Earth as a commodity and life as expendable.

And regulators must hold X to account for its repeated role in human rights abuses and recognise that the self-regulation model is clearly failing. 6/6 🧵

The government should introduce mandatory human rights due diligence legislation which requires social media companies to proactively identify and address risks their services pose to public safety and human rights, especially in high-risk contexts. 5/6 🧵

The UK government must address the gaps in the Online Safety Act and challenge the racist and misogynistic rhetoric and scapegoating of British citizens, migrants and refugees that are flourishing on social media. 4/6 🧵

Prior to that we exposed how the platform was home to shocking levels of abusive tweets against women of colour in politics and public life. 3/6 🧵 www.amnesty.org.uk/knowledge-hu...

Last year, Amnesty released analysis that linked X’s design and policy choices to the amplification of content which incited violence against Muslims and migrants. 2/6 🧵 www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/uk-x-...

If the Secretary of State responsible for social media regulation and oversight says X/Twitter "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities" she should take more decisive action - not just leave the platform. 1/6 🧵

I think its county lines and that goes back to Tory Dave Cameron taking the payment that young adults were getting in England while still in school or education. They were driven to the county lines gangs almost overnight.

Reminder that during the air campaign, Israeli forces bombed and killed the Iranians that the US intended to run a new government.

Defra breached law, with Tory govt was in office, when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says. This is one outcome of capture of the state by corporations, and secrecy. Govts pursue economic growth, not resilience, at almost any cost.

A thing we could have had in 2022 in Scotland, if Westminster hadn't done the usual and thrown a tantrum, preventing it from being implemented. Here in Copenhagen, returning these three bottles will give DKK 1.50 each - DKK 4.50 is around 52p just now.

"When the richest person on the planet... spends his days and nights, even his own birthday, amplifying anti-migrant rhetoric, boosting far-right agitators, and promoting films that glorify vigilante violence as the answer to migration, he is not starting a debate – he is starting a fire."

Our next Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, uses the same social media platform being used by militant racists to radicalise their followers and racists into starting mob violence

Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office. High office is now the key to personal and family riches. Former US President Harry Truman once said: "Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook."

UK gov you can f*ck off. Scotland is rich in renewables and doesn't need nuclear generation. The only reason Westminster wants them is to wean England off gas generation whilst not having nuclear in their own back yard. Go on, site them by the Thames! We need #ScottishIndependence

Utterly ridiculous that the long-awaited Defence Investment Plan published today reveals more funding will be spent on the nuclear programme than every other bit of kit and technology for the armed forces. We cannot keep sinking huge sums into weapons which must never be used.

I don’t like this policy and I don’t like it being framed as ‘repaying’. These refugees won’t have borrowed £10,000. They will be charged for being granted asylum, as those are the depths we’ve fallen to as a country

When you stop and think about who said we would win, the fact we are going to lose becomes much clearer.

Ian Paisley standing beside rapists.

Nothing says 'speaking for the concerns of the common man' like being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds to promote actual gold bars

Steve Valdez-Symonds from Amnesty explains that refugees going through the asylum system are prevented from working & contributing. They used to be able to work & contribute & it was the last Labour govt (that Ed Balls was part of) that banned them.

Time for all charities, British political parties, politicians taxpayer funded organisations to abandon Twitter/ X

Public asylum adjudicators and now a £10,000 charge to refugees. Dispels any lingering doubt that a Burnham government would halt Labour's lurch to the right on immigration
