Unlike the debunked “millionaire exodus”, Britain’s young workers really are leaving in droves— 174,000+ since March 2024. The motor of our economy walking away is a crisis that really should worry us. 🧵So, why are they leaving and how can we stop it? 1/9

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B. Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct. A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

#WorldAIDSDay Blog: People with HIV didn’t get to reach 20-year anniversaries, I thought. On World AIDS Day, Paul Wickson writes about living with HIV, their diagnosis, feelings at the time, and where they are now. unsn.uk/49QCEHJ

#GVerse The man who shoot those two West Virginia National Guard in DC was working with the CIA. He was vetted by #Shit4Brain's administration. #Shitface is lying about everything.

US getting ready to attack Venezuela. The rhetoric of curbing narcotics trade is just an excuse as Trump plans to pardon convicted drugs tsars at home. It is about vanity, control of oil/gas and minerals and new Imperialism. Who is next? Why is the UN silent?

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?" Mark Kelly: "It seems to." Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?" Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia. 1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. 2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague. 3. Russia pays everyone for everything. 4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I know it's been said before but "we don't know who is in those hotels" is SO WEIRD. I don't know who is in a hotel when I STAY in a hotel. I never know who is in any hotel at any point. How did this dogshit prevail?!

Listening to the FT podcast where they say Mahmood is McSweeney's top choice of successor and the idea that Starmer will go but the man most responsible for his catastrophic unpopularity will get to choose the next PM is, um, optimistic on his part

The response that #BBC should give to Cheeto Benito's lawsuit is "Alright, dickhead, I've got your billion dollars right here." youtu.be/0kN1acUapMo?...

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time. Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike. Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

This is a bit awkward.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

As Jim Bowen would say "Here's what you could have won".

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

I tried to take an arty B&W pic of our twerp, but he stuck his tongue out to ruin it.

"[name of someone famous and vaguely progressive with a snappy turn of phrase] should run for Director General of the BBC!" like that's how it works and like they won't shove in some absolute nazi who loves rich people and hates trans women and Palestinians just like before but even more this time.

The number of homeless people in England is higher than official government data suggests, according to new research from the charity Crisis www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨This is not what I expect from a Labour government THESE SHOCKING cuts are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child - the Adoption & Special Guardianship Support Fund is a lifeline for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England youtu.be/7roDSM-GPBY?...

BREAKING: Rap artist 50 Cent has fled New York after discovering that Mamdani's tax plans meant he would be downgraded to 49 Cent 😭

As his debut film Once Were Warriors showed, Lee Tamahori was a director of guts and flair

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

The lesson from #NewYork is that if you give people something positive to vote for, they will vote for it. @uklabour.bsky.social need to learn that lesson right now.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps: The right defends economic power. The left resists economic power.

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Reform MP Sarah Pochin not in the chamber today for #PMQs it must be because seeing our faces makes her mad…

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Renters' Rights Bill becomes law Described as the biggest shake-up to renting in England for more than 30 years, a new law to give renters more rights was formally approved on Monday www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Magnificent!

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024

Urgent workforce investment needed if ministers are to realise bold NHS ambitions, says UNISON Having enough skilled workers is crucial to turning the NHS around and providing high-quality patient care www.unison.org.uk/news/2025/10...

❗Over 20,000 of you signed our petition, demanding that Ofwat say NO to 15 more years of ILLEGAL pollution. 👀Watch as we get ready to speak to Ofwat officials and make our voices heard loud and clear - we will not accept a broken water system which pollutes for profit.

Someone suggested this. Someone else said "Yes. That's a good idea. Let's do that." Richard Tunnicliffe - exercising the judgement he wants people to trust him for - went along with it.

TONIGHT Please join us in #Liverpool for this important meeting in our campaign to get our pension fund to stop investing in #genocide, Apartheid & war crimes. If you can't make it tonight, please scan the QR code on the flyer to sign & share a petition to the Pensions Committee. #SaveGaza #DBS

Never forget - The European Convention on Human Rights exists to protect citizens from the excesses & abuses of their political leaders. If any politician wants you to surrender that protection, they are not to be trusted.
