Right now the government is putting our communities, our water security and our climate ambitions second to the demands of tech giants. It's time to slam the brakes on water-guzzling, energy hungry datacentres.

Terrifying to see wildfires raging through Scotland. The climate crisis isn't a distant threat - it's right here and right now. How many warning signs and alarm bells until Andy Burnham takes action to end oil and gas drilling?

The media and Starmers' lies and manipulation have become so blatant and repulsive, were at the stage it's actually shoring up support for Palestine, the Greens and the left. Keep it up you freaks!

Solidarity with Zack Polanski as he faces the full machinations of the genocide enabling mainstream media. It's fascinating and horrifying to witness their tactics - there is no low they won't scrape to try and discredit a man so that the stinking system of plunder and abuse can roll on undisturbed.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it. The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday. (📸 Middle East Observer)

Last night I introduced my new boyfriend to one of my best (male) friends, who's been struggling, and they really hit it off. Piotr (my boyfriend) likes Noel for being authentic: "When I said something funny, he laughed, and when I said something that wasn't funny, he just...didn't do anything." 😁🥹

What if they all die? What then? Will it be the new America, the new Australia, a land where ghosts scream and children's handprints claw the soil while fat Western feet stomp around lugging dead hearts and blocked ears? #Palestine

How have we got to the point where 1.8 million people being starved to death in plain sight doesn't even raise a shrug from most people? Israel must Let aid in Stop killing Face accountability Stop being fed weapons and support from the UK Get out of our gov, media and justice system Now!

You would think most immigrants to the UK were asylum seekers if you listen to the Media, but it is less than 4%. And the housing shortage? 1945-1979 - 5,000,000 council houses built. 1980-2025 - 250,000 council houses built. That's why.

On July 12, Israel reinstated a total ban on sea access for Gaza, warning civilians they could be killed for approaching the shore. The move deepens a blockade in place since 2007, cutting off one of the last remaining lifelines for food, income and survival.

Made the mistake of reading some subtitles on rolling BBC news. The presenter actually claimed there've been 'casualties on both sides' at aid centres in Gaza. The ones where US and Israeli soldiers are luring starving civilians then shooting and bombing them. Both-siding that!!! Fuck off BBC.
