"Israel has destroyed 80% of the buildings, 86% of the farmland, 90% of the cattle, 89% of water & sanitation infrastructure, 100% of desalination plants, and it has made Gaza more or less unliveable.

Here it is. The Mail and its columnist Littlejohn telling us our 'woke' police chiefs and 'left wing politicians' are 'enablers' and are responsible for the killings yesterday. @mrjamesob.bsky.social #LBC

If, like us, you're frustrated with billionaire-owned mainstream media - -then do back the Bylines Network to bring a new type of grassroots media into the landscape, with monthly 300,000-400,000 article reads - and many millions of search engine & soc media impressions 💪

The Tory party, like Reform, is now a home for anti science, ahistorical, conspiracy fruitloops, but this move cannot be ignored. It is highly likely that there will be an electoral pact between the two parties in 2029, which would see them both in govt. Climate terrorism is coming. #r4today

If your party welcomes the woman who tweeted 'set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards' as a star conference speaker, maybe don't accuse other politicians of 'inciting violence'

“Farage “broke Britain" with Brexit and is now, outrageously, capitalising on the vast damage he caused” Article argues there’s no need to mention Reform’s racism as the Brexit shitshow is failure enough. But that had its roots in racism too. So let’s do both. app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...

The Trump/Hegseth speeches yesterday were the first part of this quote. They attempted to make the armed forces believe the absurdity that their mission is to attack Trump’s rival political party within the country. The atrocities will follow.

The last, best description of Trump from British writer Nate White.

"One in five humans benefited from *globalisation*; four in five suffer from the new and unnecessary poverty" John Berger #economics Neoliberalism does NOT raise up all of us. Far from it. There is NO trickle down of wealth. Maybe the Labour party could apologise for its failure to act on this.

Many thanks @ledbydonkeys.org @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social @sohotheatre.bsky.social A brilliant uplifting evening in Walthamstow and a reminder of the need for us to combat right wing populism and racism with wit, energy, creativity, imagination and activism.

The clue is in the tailoring

Can't argue.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Thankfully @billybragg.bsky.social was on the panel to insist we ought to be boycotting Israel and isolating it from the rest of the world. By such means apartheid South Africa was forced to become a democracy with equal rights for all its citizens. #Newsnight

Starmer: "The swagger of Oasis. Is that broken Britain?" Er . . . #labourconference

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.

Rachel Reeves is a pound shop #Thatcher, what is she doing in the #Labour party. #Channel4news #C4news

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Broken Britain. A country in economic decline with low growth & declining living standards. #C4News #LabourConference2025

"Corporations that continue to support Trump have really fucked up their calculus." They are supporting fascism, not democracy. Boycotts and divestment are necessary and effective.

The major political parties, broadcasters, and institutions should all leave X. It's an extremely dangerous disinformation machine, and staying there only legitimises it and the chaotic agenda of the richest man in the world. Who is a raving fucking lunatic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The unflushable turd has his sticky fingers in a fascistic project aimed at the annexation of Gaza and the forced removal of Palestinian people? Surely not. #r4today

His spirit lives on. Epstein was a big wheel - but he was a disposable part of a mindset, a network, a community, a brotherhood. Exposure led to disposal. Andrew Windsor & P Mandelson were idiots who imagined their clandestine activities on the dark side would never come to light. Brothers in harm.

What a brilliant thread.

About a year ago I was in London and was walking around Stoke Newington and stopped to take some photos of some tiles outside a mosque in Stoke Newington. A Muslim guy who worked there asked me if I’d like a tour inside, I said yes and I took off my shoes and he walked me around the whole place.
