The UK economy has been stuck in a slow-moving crisis for 18 years. Wages have stagnated, prices have risen and basic services have been cut – giving rise to a widespread sense that everything is getting worse. If Burnham doesn’t respond, Reform will benefit. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I am Jewish. My grandparents were Jews who escaped the Holocaust. Pogroms were a common practice, ethnic cleansing too, and they managed to escape before the Holocaust. Most of their family members are dead, we’re a broken family tree with missing spots. I support Palestine BECAUSE I am Jewish.

Green MSP Kate Nevens and SNP MP Lara Bird have been kidnapped by Israel for trying to enter Palestine. The Prime Minister should be demanding their immediate release.

"Witnessing such a young elephant lose its life to trophy hunting is a painful reminder of why we cannot allow this to continue.Together, let's demand stricter regulations and an immediate ban on trophy hunting. Our wildlife deserves better. #BanTrophyHuntingNow"

Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

I despair.

Exactly, when they privatise things we need to survive like water, energy they know they can suck out as much as they can, even get billions in debt, then when it goes under we pick up the tab to get it going again for them to sell it off again, rinse repeat.

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

Left wing leaders all over the world have congratulated Lula on his win over the Bolsonaro's, Trump, Israel and the fascist big tech billionaires. Silence from Andy Burnham.

2 giant wins in 24 hours for progressives everywhere. The far-right just received a thrashing in both Brazil and Serbia. Lula's dramatic victory brings hope, not just for Brazil but for environmentalists worldwide in the battle against climate change. @greenparty.org.uk @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

“People are demanding action on rents, the cost of the climate emergency and about how we can bring people's bills down and yet what we're about to see is just the same old.” Hannah Spencer on the government's approach to Wednesday's Budget, speaking at the Cost of Living rally.

Should we really entrust Britain's health data to a particular American firm? Demonstrators across the country think not | Aidan Baker

The media are coming for Zack! We must stand with him! harryeccles94.substack.com/p/the-establ...

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Jackdaw gas field is not a jobs plan. It is not an energy bills plan. It is not an energy security plan. And it is certainly not a climate plan. We cannot wean ourselves off fossil fuels by burning more fossil fuels. Read more here:

Oh, I like this one🤣

Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results." So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.

Almost 600 scientists, ecologists, health professionals and more have called on Andy Burnham to reject the re-submitted application for drilling Rosebank The science is abundantly clear - we cannot open new oil and gas fields. @profbillmcguire.bsky.social

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

GoFundMe offered to promote Molly Furnival-Doran’s Gaza fundraiser. That same day, it paused withdrawals. @rivkahbrown.bsky.social investigates what happened and why other Palestine fundraisers report similar barriers. zeteo.uk/p/exclusive-...

In the next year we can block the Fascists in Spain, defeat them in France. Then we can get rid of that disgusting Israel bootlicking toad Milei in Argentina. Lula is the start, the Fascists wall is coming down.

Exactly!

Someoen needs the guts to stand up to the tech giants. The EU can "Meta's new terms are clearly anti-competitive. Many business' effectively have no choice but to ​use Meta's services & these conditions would force them to sign away the rights to their digital content ​with no means of opting out"

Mike Tapp is particularly stupid, but It would be interesting to know how ignorant most other Labour MPs are about Palestine and the Palestinian people! youtu.be/EBTpaL7ut4Y?...

If Nigel Farage was being honest the US-style privatised health service he plans to replace a dismantled NHS would look something like ... memes via Barry James

I hope that a defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and Darline Graham drives a stake through the heart of nepo-politics, leaving Don Jr. worried and sad.

And Zionism is a cult.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.
