💔Tragic: swifts are finding their chicks dumped in skips and their nests blocked up by building work. 🚨We need an emergency system that forces police & councils to act IMMEDIATELY when nests are threatened. Sign the petition now 👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

When my US distributor claims his state pension he told me it will be about USD 4000. That’s about 3 x more than the basic UK state pension I get. The cost of living there is nothing like 3 x more. My cousin is in Spain. The cost of living is much lower but there the state pension is also 3 x more

🇪🇺"Until we actually admit to ourselves that leaving the EU massively hit our growth" 📈 "By growth we actually mean our prosperity, you know, our ability to function, our ability to push up our wages, our ability to actually, you know, trade easily with our nearest partners."

The number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills. Norway - 0 UK - 0 France - 0 Spain - 0 Portugal - 0 Denmark - 0 Australia - 0 Iceland - 0 Italy - 0 Finland - 0 Ireland - 0 Germany - 0 Netherlands - 0 Sweden - 0 Japan - 0 Canada - 0 United States - 643k

"We're here today to say... war criminals are not welcome in this city &.. this is bigger than just Netanyahu. This is about the fact that our govt has been funding and enabling genocide & apartheid & it has to stop" Beth Miller from Jewish Voice for Peace in New York yesterday.

Room empties out at the UN as Netanyahu begins his speech.

Crowds outside the UN shouting "Netanyahu you can't hide, you are wanted for Genocide." As Netanyahu will be speaking inside.

Oh I give up on political leaders. They all seem to have their own agenda and none of them represent the wishes of their citizens. Ordinary citizens everywhere don’t want wars and are prepared to work to try and have a better life and don’t need to make enemies

These aren't 'hard choices'; they're an all-out assault by the corporate state - a cull, eugenics, fascism. They're an absolute disgrace! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Energy bills are expected to go up 25% £442 in January They are already 40% higher than in France and about 60% profit Before Thatcher privatised them we had some of the cheapest Energy in Europe Now we have the most expensive in the world Even before it goes up another 25%

Reform have made £72m from two donors in a single day. Absolutely obscene. And Labour refuse to cap political donations. The Green Party are funded and powered by you. Please donate to help us win Holborn & St Pancras today! donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk?fbclid=IwdGR...

Rejoining the EU would help my business and my personal life. Not being in the EU is having a negative effect on everyone even if they don’t realise it. Cost of living and job prospects are affected among many other things

Water company profits are soaring as raw sewage is being pumped into our waters. The government must bring all water companies back into public ownership: end the unlawful dumping of sewage, and ensure profits are being reinvested back into fixing leaks and building new infrastructure.

I can live ok without there being any billionaires. Tax them high as they should be. They shouldn’t exist anyway

Sure can :-) And agree

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement. "Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

Having just received an email from UPS it’s looking as if from 1st November it’s going to be even more difficult to send shipments from the UK to the EU. Oh to rejoin the EU. Better for business and personal reasons

Oh I hope the Greens win it

Following the Chancellor’s debut speech, Dr Ellie Chowns MP reiterated how economic prosperity must benefit all.

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

It hasn’t taken the Chancellor long to sound the retreat on the hope the country needs. We are gripped by a cost of living crisis and need action now. Lower bills, wealth taxes and an end to the great water rip off. Thames Water into public ownership now. No more excuses

Find it difficult to understand how even more people don’t recognise the benefits there would be if the UK was in the EU. More business opportunities so more job opportunities, lower cost of living and more choice in shops, easier to travel there on holiday or to visit friends & relatives

Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit. The ECHR belongs to us all. It’s not theirs to take. Please sign www.europeanmovement.co.uk/echr-petition

Labour stands up for corporations and big money. I'm running to stand up for people and our communities. www.camdennewjournal.co.uk/article/excl...

The Green Party will win the by-election as they will win much of London. Because the Londoners know even better than most that it is the richest 0.1% crushing everybody else, and Labour is doing nothing to tax or reduce their power.

Boris Johnson knew exactly what damage Brexit would do to Britain and was a fervant remainer until he realised it might offer him the chance to climb the political ladder and make money at the same time. He was a self-serving greedy traitor who didn't give a toss about his fellow Britains.

Yes to proportional representation with voting and no to politicians having sponsors which is corrupting UK politics

I’d vote for any politician who 1. Makes rejoining the EU a priority 2. Makes adequately funding the NHS a priority and 3. Taxes the wealthy enough to pay for a better life for ordinary people in the UK and a higher state pension which is sufficient to have a decent life

It’s all Trump’s fault for attacking Iran to start with

Go Zack! #VoteGreen www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

📊 Research from Frontier Economics, commissioned by Best for Britain, shows that EU membership would boost UK exports by £43 billion each and every year. 🧠 It really is a no brainer.

If Burnham is serious about delivering a politics done differently he must pursue EU membership, which would transform our economy to the tune of at least £92 billion,while persuading progressives who have abandoned the party to trust Labour with their votes.

Provisional Met Office data shows this summer was the hottest ever on record. Thousands of deaths due to dangerous heat. Crops destroyed by drought. Homes threatened by fires. Labour must not approve Rosebank or Jackdaw in this new climate chaos. No new oil and gas.

"We need the Govt to prioritise cooling in settings where people are vulnerable, ensuring emergency services are properly equipped to respond to extreme heat, setting up cool spaces for the public, and introducing measures to ensure people can stay safe in the workplace." @adrianramsay.bsky.social

Go for it, Zack.

Thank you Trump

The UK GDP has grown 3x since 1970 (factoring in inflation and population increase). Are you wealthier? No because it has all gone to the very richest, we DON'T want even more money for them that never trickles down. We want things to function for US.

Any chance I could get a small boat to emigrate from the UK to the EU ? Oh to escape the Uk. But I’m trapped here because of having to work to earn money to have a life even at nearly 78 yrs old. Could do with a money raiser to enable me to afford to give up work and escape somewhere better

Great letter in The Yorkshire Post from Peter Packham @leedseurope.bsky.social. 'The Brexit elite didn't "take back control" of our borders; they undermined our ability to manage them and incentivised criminal gangs behind the trafficking of desperate, vulnerable migrants.'

Can we flood our MPs with these prepared letters? Would we still vote for them if they didn’t support this action??? 👇👇👇👇👇👇‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Together we're going to take on the billionaires, the newspapers they own and the politicians who they buy. Thank you Bristol. That was pretty special! 💚😍 📸 - Forwards Festival.

Andy Burnham must drop Labour's stifling red lines and forge a new relationship with Europe.

Israel just killed a 4-year-old. It's targeting people flying kites. Israeli terrorists are besieging an Ohio man's home. And instead of doing anything about that, the machine is going full-court press on a guy who said it's dangerous to conflate Jewish people with this behavior.

Left- Israel restricts Palestinians in Gaza to oxygen which is essential in a hospital anywhere. Right- Israeli IDF shoots 14 year old, Palestinian boy and then waits 45 minutes for him to bleed to death while watching him die. The UN Commissioner of Inquiry official, Chris Sidoti, reported this.
