When will this Labour Government stop tinkering? Thames Water is a busted flush. It's worthless. Cheer up the nation. Nationalise it now. Not a penny compensation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Labour Government are still continuing to arm a genocide. They're still locking up pensioners who hold up cardboard signs. And Palestinians are still being murdered every single day. The Green Party will always unapologetically speak the truth. youtu.be/BKC9mSBFpBA?...

When I think back to my childhood, with section 28, casual homophobia and the age of consent for same sex relationships being 21 instead of 16, it is depressing to see how little has really changed.
I actually think the use of the word “finally” is so telling as to the role our heavily right-wing media plays in our politics. Sources like The Telegraph have been pushing successive governments for trans-exclusionary policy for years. They’ve got what they wanted. This is now their victory lap.

Sadiq Khan says he’s an ally of the trans community. So why is he allowing one of the most famous anti-trans people in the world to take over Oxford Street? Join over 8,500 and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia👇 https://bit.ly/4jiRuvt

If Sadiq Khan is truly a trans ally, he shouldn't be allowing J.K. Rowling's new Harry Potter lights on Oxford Street. Help us pull the plug on transphobia 👇 https://goodlaw.social/3440b9

I've pushed the government to end unaffordable rents every day I’ve been an MP, and before then. It's a national scandal that thousands of ordinary people are forced to limit themselves & their life chances just to keep up with sky-high rents. This would be a much-needed reset👇
Time and time again when I'm knocking on doors people tell me they've still got their kids living at home with them. The extreme cost of housing is putting lives on hold across this country. We need an emergency brake on rents. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On this Peter Oborne column in @bylinetimes.bsky.social September issue, I can certainly 100% agree. The World Tonight and the Midnight news cut by BBC News does feel like a bereavement. Comments on Rajan, and Mishal Hussain - yes, quite right. BBC, beloved, but heading in the wrong direction.

This is not a "Community Safety Event" This is a gathering of racist haters at an asylum seeker hotel, and no amount of flagged-up AI slop can conceal that truth.
And last weekend we had white supremacists on the streets of *checks notes* affluent Sutton Coldfield, parading along, shouting Nazi words. The anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies of the current Labour government is encouraging these rotters. It has to end.

Hundreds of people have been arrested and accused of terrorism offences for holding signs saying they support Palestine Action. But apparently this organised campaign to literally terrorise lifeboat crews and endanger lives isn't terrorism?
The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Another day of the #RoadSafetyEmergency declared by @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social We need decisive action from the city council and other public authorities. Until we see such action, grim incidents such as this are #ResultsNotAccidents. @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org
Another kid who hasn’t yet got home safely, scarred for life. Another group of friends put off cycling. Another driver evading justice (for now). Another day of Birmingham’s road safety emergency.

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Instead, the government have approved 100,000 extra flights a year at Gatwick and want another 276,000 flights/year at Heathrow 🔥 Consultation open until 1st September on whether to designate Heathrow third runway "Critical National Growth Infrastructure" (blocking future challenges) Please share!

Starmer was essential to the far right. Instead of fighting them he said they had 'reasonable concerns' and that flags intended to intimidate immigrants were good. By continuing his racist and transphobic policies Burnham showed his determination to fail in the same way on day one.
