Matkovic mentions #Gramsci. Wasn’t it he who talked of the Right’s ability to re-invent itself & absorb the forces that defeat it? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So the public are the “bosses” on Europe but apparently not on #climate, #genocide, #utilities etc. Selective democracy? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

So the fount of all wisdom (aka the #OrangeFelon) is updating the world on the cause of the rioting in France. Apparently it’s Muslims. If his vileness weren’t poisonous it would be hilarious.

People, I give you the BBC’s takeaway from #Polanski’s interview. It’s as ignorant as saying Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy encourages the embrace of death the opportunity to dream. Polanski says he will not overturn Green Party's 'Zionism is racism' motion www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Are these #NHS trusts part of the “mob” that you are scathing about #TomWatson? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Fascism in Britain has not come from nothing. It is the result of decades of Thatcherism and then Austerity.

Any info on how much tax they’ve paid in the UK over the past decade? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Might this headline more accurately read “threaten” rather than “warn”? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The worrying thing for Americans is not so much Trump, it’s the apparent lack of any way to deal with a demonstrably unhinged President. Alan Bennett’s “Madness of King George”’is weirdly apposite. #Trump #Delusional

Haaretz reports, weeks before Oct,7,2023 Netanyahu was warned by President of UAE that Hamas planned a major attack. He ignored it. Oct 7 he did nothing to protect Israelis as they were killed, raped, kidnapped. Also- he was paying billions to Hamas terrorists www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/w...

The fines are far too low to hurt these privatised polluters, since they can easily pass the cost on to consumers. The answer is to remove their licence and automatically nationalise their business without compensation for their repeated crimes.

United Utilities fined £964,225, pleads guilty to dumping raw sewage in seas. Crimes date back to 2023. Fined at least 223 times since 2010, paid £8m. Still committing crimes, bosses rewarded but none prosecuted, shareholders enriched. Revoke its licence. Nationalise water.

Burnham should scrap Labour’s red lines on Brexit and get closer to EU, voters say www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

UK datacentres likely to directly employ 10,400 workers, compared with the 40,000 cited. 8.6 jobs per megawatt of power, compared to 400 in a car plant, 3,600 in a hospital or health facility. Huge consumption of electricity/water, emission of pollution. Need moratorium on expansion.

The Zionists greatest weapon is the conflation of ‘Jewish’ with the foreign, Genocide and Apartheid State Here’s the BiBiCorp actively supporting Zionism (and not for the first time) If you tired of pouring good money for bad Hasbara Propaganda, it takes seconds to cancel your BiBiCorp licence

Large group of men dressed in black and masked turn up at the same time, in the same place and the police describe it as "spontaneous". It was a conspriracy.

Police use batons and pepper sprays but it appears nobody was arrested. What do people need to do in Patriot Platform inspired violence to get arrested? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

AfD thanks Musk for “support.” I’m guessing that isn’t just moral support. Plus the connection between AfD & Putin is interesting in light of revelations about Trump’s connections with the Kremlin. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

0 arrests. 3000 arrests.

I'm old enough to remember an elderly man being ejected from the Labour party conference in 2005. It wasn't an edifying sight but he wasn't attacked by the audience. It was all over the news, Blair apologised profusely and the party was rightly condemned. Looking forward to Farage's apology, oh.....

Violent thugs

Not by many people, just by Bluesky folks. This will not be broadcast by our right wing media. Farage mocking the attacked women, the hatred on the Reform sheeple faces. Nor will anything happen with the thugs at Dover, they were allowed to disperse and disappear.

@westmidlandspolice.bsky.social thoughts?

another Reform thug

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

If you don't find this disturbing... There's something wrong with you 🤮

Aging British white patriots beat up a young woman. Reform supported by thugs

Reform UK Conference 2026 This is all it will be remembered for.

Mid June 2026: Daniel Thomas's Patriot Platform begin recruitment for a "patriotic army" and publicly announce they plan to block Dover. September 2026 The black-clad balaclava-ed Patriot Platform blocks Dover But sure, *spontaneous* 🙄 Looks like terrorism to me.

‘Nigel Farage says he can’t be bought. Channel 4's documentary says otherwise.

His name is Stephen Cooling, and he's from Sutton Coldfield branch. #DeformUK

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Release ALL the Epstein files NOW!

In any commercial business, any charity, in fact anywhere other than in politics, this tactic just doesn’t work. I wonder why we permit politicians so much more leeway than we do anyone else?

1,200 detainees—about two-thirds held at Florida's state-run "Alligator Alcatraz" facility—vanished from the federal tracking database after being transferred or released. around 800 individuals had no record in the ICE locator system, while another 400 carried a vague "Call ICE for details" note.

Here's another young woman being attacked and beaten by old Reform men consumed by hate. #RefUKkers

Given Trump’s Iran record, not sure he’s the best adviser on this sort of thing. Trump's response is key as Argentina's Falklands demands get louder www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The top image was broadcast as a JOKE on French TV in 2014. The lower image is a REAL weather report from June this year. The climate crisis is not waiting for the future. We must END fossil fuels, now.

Perish the thought that this news has any connection with huge donations to parties & individual MPs.

Foreign donations are illegal, but British billionaires shouldn’t be able to buy influence either. 83% think the rich use donations for personal gain. Andy Burnham must keep his promise to cap them not backtrack yet again

Why am I not surprised to read this? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is only happening to you guys, our US brothers & sisters. What kind of demeaning actions are required from Trump before the adults in the States take his hand & lead him out of the White House? Apple Maps renames Lake Ontario as Lake America after Trump order www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Breaking - Trump renames Falklands. They’re now Islas Donald Malvinas

Watched a clip of Americans responding to “Lake America.” One guy saying he’d supported Trump all the way but this shows he’s “losing it.” Where’s that guy been during Gulf of America, Kennedy Centre, Strait of Hormuz, Nobel Peace Prize etc etc?

UK households have the most expensive energy bill in Europe. In 2024 energy companies made £30bn profit. Profit margins, 23%-38%. £500 of average household bill is profit. Profiteering is a bigger factor in household bills than green levies. Nationalise energy to cut household/business costs

My goodness but Lords cricket ground is looking mighty green and verdant for the Test Match. #hosepipeban #drought #allinthistogether

No one should sacrifice their health, their environment, or their future so chemical companies can keep selling products that Europe has already declared too dangerous. It's time. Sign and share today to keep our coffee safe! action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-08...

Adverts telling us to use less water. Data centres being built. Why is getting more money for rich tech billionaires ok but us having a 5 minute shower is not? Fuckers.

$18bn over 10 years - “petty cash” as Freedland says. The only way #Meta is gonna be reined in is when some of the miscreants are incarcerated. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
