📢 INEQUALITY GRAPHIC OF THE WEEK (2026) 11/35 🔽 bsky.app/profile/ineq...

📢 Dear Chancellor, this is the Budget we need: ✅ Tax the banks ✅ Tax the energy companies ✅ Levy a #WealthTax on The Sunday Times Rich List and put the money raised directly into the pockets of those on average and lower incomes. We'll leave the details to you... #TaxTheRich #RedistributeWealth

The utterly sociopathic entitlement of these tech freaks. Nvidia, Microsoft and Cisco has given the UK government a 12 month deadline to quash public outrage over data centres, or they will... flounce off with their debt? Go on, then. Off you fuck. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A growing anti-data centre campaign in Slough has pushed the council to demand more money from data centre operators to fund local improvement projects. I suspect more UK council's will have to grapple with this - and there's no guarantee they can get residents onboard. as.ft.com/r/09375e0e-b...

I think if any political party wants a vote winning policy it’d be stamping down on data centres, calling a complete halt, bringing in the most massively stringent conditions on data purpose, energy usage, environmental and light pollution, and water use - in each and every single case.

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2

📢 How to save the future: Organise and agitate to: ✅ Vote out the right and far-right always and everywhere ✅ Tax the billionaires until they don't exist any more ✅ Reject toxic AI and the planet-murdering datacentres #Democracy #Environment #Equality #Hope

📢 THIS ➡️ “Addressing the climate crisis is really easy. Control the richest, curb their power, curb their emissions, and also tax their wealth.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Michael Atiyah 🇪🇬: Fields Medal 1966 (also Abel Prize 2004), for K-theory. Ahmed Zewail 🇪🇬: Nobel for Chemistry 1999, for his work on femtochemistry. Omar M. Yaghi 🇯🇴: Wolf Prize 2018, Nobel for Chemistry 2025, for his work on reticular chemistry Naguib Mahfouz 🇪🇬: Nobel for literature 1988

🤔 Hopefully, the war criminal Netanyahu will lose power but, beyond that, it seems there are no good outcomes. Whatever happened to the left in Israel...? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

America, it's our turn in a week. Sweep out the GOP.

📢 Another pre-budget reminder that the UK has become a land of Ferraris and Foodbanks. The money exists to improve life for the vast majority - it's just that it's currently hoarded in the greedy grasping hands of a few. The budget needs to set a course to change this... #TaxTheRich #EndBillionaires

🚨 THIS ➡️ "There’s no dodging a battle with the vested interests committed to keeping things as they are – and the budget is the place to begin." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🤬 When you watch the Budget this year, and are told there is "no money", that we have to face "hard choices", that welfare has to be cut, just remember the below report 🔽 from @equalitytrust.bsky.social and ping it to everyone you know, including your MP...👍 equalitytrust.org.uk/news/ghost-g...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

📢 The rise of the far-right is NOT inevitable. They can be stopped. Crucially, young people have to get out and vote, and the turn out, generally, has to be high. These are the lessons for the progressives across the world. Organise and get the vote out!!! ✊ #Serbia♥️ #Brazil♥️

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

🙂 Loving the growing resistance to AI and datacentres all over the world, especially in the US. We do not have to accept this mindless shit that nobody asked for. #RejectAI #PitchforksAgainstDatacentres🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

🤔 Given how bullish Burnham is being on the #EU, why can't he do the same on immigration and sack the appalling Mahmood to signal a change of course? Ignore the right-wing chuds and make the positive case for immigration to refresh and replenish the UK's rapidly ageing and declining workforce...

📢 It's half-time in the Crucial Elections 2026 Cup and the score is... Sane Progressives 2 Reactionary Chuds 0 Scorers: Serbia and Brazil. 🙂👏✊

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Breaking international law with the collective punishment of innocent Palestinians, in the occupied West Bank, Netanyahu is a war criminal & Israel is a pariah State lacking any morality whatsoever... #Israel 🇮🇱 #Palestine 🇵🇸 #Netanyahu #WestBank #BreakingNews www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

We have to keep trying. Giving up is what the right-wingers want us to do - and sometimes we feel like giving in - but we just can't give them the satisfaction.

3 in 5 respondents favour tax increases for banks - new @unison.org.uk polling finds 🙌 www.business-live.co... Join nearly 100,000 people & call on Chancellor John Healey to #TaxTheBanks 💰 on 28th October! 👉 bit.ly/TaxTheBanks

Not only did the far right propaganda, bullshit, billionaire pushed culture war fail in Brazil, they’ve failed in Serbia too. The tech oligarchs and right-wing populists thought they had things nicely locked down. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

📢 TRUTH 🔽 Are we going to continue to let our countries be governed in the interests of the billionaires, or are we going to insist our leaders govern in the interests of the vast majority and especially to deliver a brighter future for younger people...? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It feels like there's a major AI story every day right now. Here are 6 developments from the past few weeks that you might have missed, from government AI safety tests to frontier models helping build their successors.

🤮 This - in microcosm - is where we're at globally. Unrestrained psychopathic corporate power wrecking the planet with complete and utter contempt and impunity... #RejectAI #PitchforksAgainstDatacentres🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

In Salford, over 45 homes have been targets of racist vandalism. Former deputy leader of the far right Britain First, Ashlea Simon, has ran a campaign of identifying and filming supposed HMOs on social media. Simon now runs her own group, All for England. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/10/22/a...

Nearly 20,000 people have signed this petition in just a few days 🎉🥳✊ 6 DAYS TO GO until Thames Water creditors meet to approve yet ANOTHER bailout @andyburnham.bsky.social said in June that public ownership is "what should happen" for Thames Water Step in, now weownit.org.uk/act-now/tham...

As part of the #1forEquality fortnight of action urging effective activation of the socio-economic duty, we collaborated with artist Rita Kappia and community partners bringing lived experience insights from various parts of England to take these small but mighty dolls to parliament this week 💪

For ten years, we have been campaigning for the Enactment of the socio-economic duty. We’re supporting #1ForEquality and calling for a strong, impactful socio-economic duty. @equalitytrust.bsky.social @justfairuk.bsky.social @thriveteesside.bsky.social #DoYourDutyForEquality

📢 Your occasional reminder that the UK will soon be desperately competing with other rich developed countries to attract younger, healthy immigrants to keep our economy going as we sicken and age quickly. The current right-wing hysteria around immigration will be seen as a great embarrassment...

📢 THIS - A MILLION TIMES THIS 🔽🔽🔽. Labour must stop pandering and cringing to the far-right and the media and make a strong case for immigration as essential to our long-term security given our plummeting birth rate and rapidly ageing and sickening population... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🤔 The very least the UK govt should be doing now is reviving the central store of food that it used to maintain from WW2 but was wound up in the early 1990s. Times have changed and it's currently abdicating its responsibilities to its people. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
