The super rich double dip on the climate crisis says Oxfam. They make money causing it and then profit from emergency measures taken to tackle it. Black Rock and Vanguard are the biggest corporate offenders. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

Reform Party UK Exposed@reformexposed.bsky.social

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

Anyone see this on BBC News? No - didn’t think so. The last thing they want us to think is that we, the majority m, share our anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-genocide views. Who’d have thought that we, the majority, value all life over greed and power-lust.

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.

We don’t need a business-as-usual Budget. We need a Budget to tax extreme wealth and make the UK affordable. This is the scale of change Britain desperately needs – and only the Green Party can deliver it.

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.

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.

Absolutely this. Our media is toxic, and that includes BBC News and Affairs since Johnson stuffed the top with right wing Brexit extremists.

Oh My life! The BBC having the brass neck to say "the public" might re-think their attitudes towards Meghan Markle! I'm certain the majority of the ill-will towards her was manufactured by our right wing media along with the BBC. Most of us said 'leave them alone!' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

For 25 years, @greenparty.org.uk has been campaigning for car-free zones, cleaner air, and safer neighbourhoods for Londoners. Now in 2026, Labour is finally getting on board with major pedestrianisation projects. #OxfordStreet #LondonGreens #Pedestrianisation #CarFree

As the cost-of-living crisis pushes households to the brink and climate breakdown places further stress on public services, only the Green Party are pushing for genuine action at the Budget this week.

Lula says action must be taken against the US Big Tech billionaires who tried to fix the Brazilian elections Brazil has the 2nd most Social Media users after the USA If Brazil banned US Big Tech and launched their own Social Media it would be a crippling blow to the US Fascists

It’s time for Netanyahu to be held accountable for Israeli and Palestinian deaths. He nurtured Hamas and kept it strong enough to govern Gaza. He failed to pass on warnings about October 7th. The genocide is his strategy.

My political education began in Brazil, where I lived from 1989-91. I learnt that the only defence we have is "conscientizaçao": raising awareness about the relations between exploiters and exploited, and the violence that underpins them. The Brazilians have once again demonstrated its power. ✊❤️‍🔥

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it. After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds. The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism. Here's to hope ✊

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

If you're even unsure of who to vote for in any given election, you probably won't go far wrong by checking which candidate has suddenly had their Facebook and X accounts suspended in the run-up to the vote, and voting for whoever that person is

Reminder that they also did this to Zack Polanski during the Holborn & St. Pancras by-election. Can't help but wonder that was a test run for future elections, such as the one that's just taken place in Brazil
