lol my vile MP is now demanding that the lib dems collapse the Birmingham council power sharing agreement with the greens over the ZiR motion the reason labour can't do it themselves is because they threw a tantrum after they lost a bunch of seats due to being awful and refused to join a coalition

UK Chancellor pledges cheaper marmalade and gherkins in pre-Budget package of 'everyday fixes'. Fiddling at the edges. Need redistribution of income and wealth. End profiteering in housing, energy, water, essentials. Increase tax personal allowance.

Burnham is already in the middle of a climate disaster, it is well under way. Deaths from extreme heat will ramp up and food security will soon collapse. #climate #globalwarming #labour #burnham www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tax private jets more. Burnham should work with the EU to do this on a pan European level This is partly due to lifestyles. The world’s private jets, for example, release more CO2 in two seconds than most of the world’s people emit in an entire year www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Israel committing crimes against humanity in occupied West Bank: UN https://aje.news/d7i8s0

I'm shocked at how labour have spaffed their term in office. Too much money being donated and lobbying taking place. Its turned their collective heads.

I watched the PM on #GMB this morning & both Gillian & Kevin are right, he comes across as very likeable. But as Kevin says, he's got to walk the talk. And whether its on taxing wealth, nationalising water, an ethical foreign policy, & so on, he's given every indication he's not going to.

Seriously, if this is the best Burnham can do after months of going on about how he's going to be The Cost Of Living Prime Minister he might as well not bother. It's actually insulting to fly flags like this saving us a pittance against economic headwinds that are costing us thousands and thousands.

BREAKING: Two of what are supposed to be the better water companies have syphoned out £700 million EACH in dividends in the last 2 years Bring them into public ownership, starting with Thames Water. Demand Andy Burnham block the Thames Water bailout: vist.ly/5pbry www.facebook.com/reel/1697908...

So if Britain being absolutely screwed is the culmination of a Putin masterplan, are we saying 50 years of Thatcherism was a Russian plot? Because, that’s some long game, privatising everything not nailed down and giving all the money to mates of the Tories. bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

No congratulatory tweet from Burnham to Lula. #Brazil Three - THREE!! - from Corbyn who also attended the London rally. I'll just grab this one. x.com/jeremycorbyn... If you want to see the other two: x.com/jeremycorbyn... x.com/jeremycorbyn...

"IT'S TIME TO PAY FAIR" Graham Hiscott for @Mirror.co.uk Union leaders are urging Chancellor John Healey to tax high banking profits to reduce domestic energy bills, pointing out top bank executives earn average salaries within days. #DailyMirror #TomorrowsPapersToday

it’s been beautiful seeing the movement worldwide, from spain to france to brazil to albania and serbia and then you have my fucking country who is trying to jeremy corbyn a jewish man.

It has already become a regular feature of Burnham's tenure. No.10 and government ministers insisting that Burnham didn't say what everyone heard him say. "Clarification" it's called.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

The NHS, under both Labour and the Tories, is becoming a cash machine for the wealthy.

Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, the latest report from a UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded.

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

I recall near unanimity that the Speaker of the House would have to step down because had clowned himself and made a mockery of the institution, but then - as tends to happen with anything awkward - the matter was dropped like a shitty stick never mentioned again. The Speaker? Still in his job.

Again, it’s worth recalling what happened when the SNP put forward a parliamentary motion about this type of thing, which included the words “collective punishment”. Remember how all the press lads were outraged, but also very non-specific about it was that had happened and why it was bad.

McSweeney Labour tested this proposition to destruction and beyond with ceaseless upsucking to reactionary voters who hate them and will never vote for them. The result: they got banjoed at the council elections, then dropped Keir Starmer in a river like a mobile phone full of incriminating messages

I imagine that whole thing taught her some pretty painful lessons about how British politics and media work, and how far the picture presented to the public reflect the actual day-to-day reality.

I see no signs this is any more genuine than the big Outreach to the left and environmentalists stuff was. It looks like more jangling keys, to me.

I don’t know folks, it seems to me that the kids might have been right about their ruling class being full of deeply racist, misogynist sex offenders. Perhaps that whole Cancel Culture panic was badly wrong, and apologies are in order? Not least because it was obviously vexatious *at the time*.

Again: the international fascist movement.

Industrial food systems consume at least 15% of global fossil fuels. Yet instead of moving away from oil and gas, the UK government continues to subsidise polluting industries. This must end. Take action with @waronwant.bsky.social secure.waronwant.org/page/203321/...

🚨 Andy Burnham must say no to the Rosebank oilfield. 🟢 Instead, he should invest in energy efficiency measures that protect the environment, bring down bills and create good green jobs.

"Unwavering" commitment to a climate target set decades in the future. Polluting gas as a "bridge fuel" to a "clean-energy future." Looks like Burnham has found the Carney climate playbook. The rest of us will pay the costs of climate pollution. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The full weight of the UK establishment - NHS, the Times, Baronesses of the House of Lords, all misrepresenting an actual full blown scandal of acute child harm. My research (with @sandraduffy.bsky.social) captures the real situation, centring patient voice journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Simon Heffer, a man who said Jeremy Corbyn “wants to reopen Auschwitz”, has some thoughts about what constitutes a deranged thesis.

Andy Burnham could approve more North Sea drilling within weeks. At a time of heatwaves, droughts and wildfires, we need climate action, not more fossil fuels. Email your MP today and tell them to oppose more North Sea drilling. www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

A moment of silence for the international far-right propaganda machine, which spent millions trying to export American-style election denial to Brazil, only for the working class to look at the Bolsonaro family and say, "Nah, we're good." The US propaganda machine and tech

“Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” 💯

Victory for Lula, who has already reduced Amazon deforestation by 70% since 2022, means there is now a chance of ending deforestation of the rainforest entirely I’m weeping with joy for Brazil, for the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, and for life on Earth 🇧🇷🌳🌎 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

The same guy when Health Sec buried the catastrophic results of 2016 #ExerciseCygnus which led to UK being horrendously unprepared for #covid19 when it hit! - no we won't be taking advice from him! 😠 🤬

I think Mr Rhyming Slang can go do one 🤨 www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

I can still see that supercilious prick, sporting his NHS badge, while ripping the guts out of it. How dare he? He should crawl back under a stone, ashamed. They don’t though, do they?
