Stop Funding Hate@stopfundinghate.bsky.social

IKEA have a lot to say about their ethical credentials and their work supporting refugees. But they also pay to advertise on Talk, which spreads vitriol and hate every day. Put your money where your mouth is, IKEA. Pull your ads from this toxic channel. #ikea #refugees #ethicaladvertising

The private owners of our national and regional grids are failing us, while they make record profits for their shareholders - British businesses can’t get a connection, that doesn’t just hold back productivity, it holds back the transition to a green economy.

The reason the rich have to constantly scream 'you can't tax us', is because it is very easy to tax them. In Norway they have a 76% tax for Fossil Fuel and the richest people. And they are the richest country in the world, the UK could and can do exactly the same.

The last *seven days*? What *we* have *always feared*? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in β€˜How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, β€˜seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: β€œTwat.”

This is the most dangerous, irresponsible framing imaginable. Not to mention it is bollocks. The big big winners from positioning Ukrainian security against poor British people & our public services are the far right. TAX THE RICH TO PAY FOR DEFENSE. PROTECT OUR WELFARE STATE.

The upcoming budget appears to have cuts to Public Spending and to Benefits. But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead. RT if you want to tax the rich, and Like if you want to get rid of Brexit.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

There are calls for Lord Eric Pickles to resign from the House of Lords he complained to the Grenfell Inquiry that he was missing important lunches. Like if he needs to resign. RT if he needs to be fired.

Jemma Forte, "MPs should not make promises to bring our energy bills down, but when they're in government bills go up" "With the water companies as well" "These are basic utilities, things that we all need, flipping heck, nationalise them. Privatisation has failed"

Energy bills are set to rise again by 6.4% this April β€” while companies have raked in over Β£457,000,000,000 in profits since 2020. Your skyrocketing bills are funding their obscene gains. It's time to end this scam and put people before profit. Nationalise our utilities NOW.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal. Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on". Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

As I live in a rural part of the UK I am not on the side of farmers who complain about paying inheritance tax for anything over Β£3 million. My parents recently died and I had to pay out anything over Β£350,000, that's quite a massive difference! If I have to pay why shouldn't everyone?

Elon Musk used all the freedoms and opportunities of the USA, the country that defeated the Nazis, to become the wealthiest human being on earth. So how does he return the favor? He salutes the Nazis, then leads in the destruction of the Country made him. To me- that’s as traitorous as it gets.

Journos won't answer why, so I will: This union excludes services (a major part of the UK economy) and leaves the UK without influence over trade policy. It also fails to address workers' rights, environmental standards, and broader economic ties Labour prioritises. You're welcome. #ukpolitics

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the Β£232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the Β£14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect β€” it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property. With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger. That’s why I’m posting it today.

I'd love to see this happen- tax the rich

πŸ‘‹ Hi Labour. We have an idea... Rather than taking money off disabled people - some of the poorest people in society - you could tax the super-rich properly and raise billions to help fix our crumbling public services πŸ‘

You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy
