Our pensioners are at present, even under the triple lock considerably worse off than our fellow Europeans- & many others. Why is it always pensions & welfare benefits that are singled out? Bring in a wealth tax to fund the national social care service. ##labourisntlabouranymore

We live in a world where the person committing Genocide has center stage at the UN and a 50 vehicle convoy for protection. While the victim of Genocide was banned from even attending. We are in a far worse state now than we were 80 years ago.

It’s just heartbreaking what’s happening in Gaza and no one is helping them. We’re just supposed to ignore what’s going on and not even speak about it because it’s against the law now or antisemitic to even discuss. 💔 🇵🇸 #Gaza #UnitedNations

Welcome to the UK. Fascist terrorists are called "activists" and anti-genocidal activists are called "terrorists".

Someone says something Zionists don’t like and they’re immediately cancelled. What’s more, you’re powerless because Zionists have the media and politicians on their side, and they have the expensive lawyers. open.substack.com/pub/councile...

Every bit of this 👇

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

What have we done? 😱 bsky.app/profile/ldw1...

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

It exhausts me watching people choose anger and cruelty over just looking out for each other, like we’re actively unlearning how to be decent human beings.

W.J. Bird 🇵🇸 Just thinking that we’ve had a Labour government for over TWO years now and there’s been fuck all house building or real sanctions on Israel, water is still privatised, we’re barely closer to the EU, but police now have the power to arrest grannies holding pieces of cardboard.

Gaza 'ceasefire' has merely slowed the pace of societal destruction It's no ceasefire and never has been. Simply cover for more killing and war crimes https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza-ceasefire-has-merely-slowed-pace-societal-destruction

"We've already taken.. terrorists out [of the early release scheme]" So people who've destroyed drones that would've been used to kill kids aren't eligible for early release, but domestic abusers are. The political priorities of Alex Norris & this govt.

We have got Genocide and a world being destroyed by the Greed of the richest and all the Billionaire Media can do is tell lies about a Black Professor and demonise a Black Woman who might come to live in the UK. They truly are racist scum.

It's heartbreaking and sadly he won't be the last one while the press continues to be unregulated. We have needed Leveson 2 for years now and it's only got worse since it was cancelled. The hatred and bile now endemic in this country egged on by politicians who have their own agendas is disgusting.

in the UK anyone looking slightly progressive is vilified. Labour are a prime example- enacting Tory policies whilst booting out the likes of Corbyn. Nicola Sturgeon is to this day hounded, Zack Polanski is next. Labour fear these folks more than Reform, which says it all 🤷

🗨 "We need Andy Burnham to step up before we, and our only home, burn down." 🌏 Speaking at @zackpolanski.bsky.social's press conference, @chrisgpackham.bsky.social is absolutely clear: the Prime Minister must take immediate action to deal with the threats we all face from the #ClimateCrisis.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Migrants, illegal or not, are NOT "rewarded with benefits on arrival". If they get anything they get a pittance. Nobody gets benefits unless they have a NINO. These people do not have NINOs. If these 💩🤡 don't get it let them live like an asylum seeker for a year and see how much they like it.

On the other hand, I wish I could find Stuart Thompson on this platform. This is the kind of person I like to follow and so should all of us…

Another Israeli airstrike in Gaza. More people murdered. Since the ‘ceasefire’ over 1,230 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza,and over 4,000 injured. There is no ‘ceasefire’ Stop selling UK arms to Israel.

Zia Yusuf desperate to pull the ladder up after himself to make sure others don’t get the opportunities he has had.

‘Are Native Americans in America illegally,’ is a question that would only be asked by fatuous, vacuous, inane white people who have it in their minds (such as they are) and hearts (dark though they are) that non-white people don’t even deserve to exist.

When the middle classes and the poor see very little change over 40 years, why should they bother turning up to vote?..

Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide. Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists. What kind of dystopian world are we living in? This absurdity must end. De-proscribe Palestine Action, now (Jeremy Corbyn)
