I hope you share and this makes people seriously think about our society!

Remember that every Reform UK national leader and most Reform UK Councillors are ex-Tories but instead of apologising for 14 years of lethal Tory austerity which they voted for and promoted now they're saying ... "But yea everything is Labour's fault!....." via We Demand UK

The Reform UK scare story of a non-white take-over of the UK is pure fantasy ...

We shall grant Piddington independence. Then we will colonise it and civilise its inhabitants until they achieve the kind of maturity required to govern themselves inews.co.uk/opinion/pidd...

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

Just gonna share this again.

If no other picture survives Reform UK conference this year, let it be this one. It is a teachable moment. #ReformAssault #Fascism

Kevin Rowland and Dexy's Midnight Runners are very unhappy that Nigel Farage used their music at the Reform party conference.

Faceless protesters in Dover haven't heard the news that boat numbers are down. They should remove their balaclavas, clean out their ears and apply a bit of humility to their protests. These, mainly men, are as tough as custard.They don't want to be identified in case they get recognised. Oh dear.

This post is ten years old and still accurate. #climatechange

It’s a big allegation but a fair one.

Tice is an idiot. One thousand people dead in two months from extreme hot weather and he says - enjoy it. One hundred thousand will die in Europe this summer. Tice says see the positives….. He lives in a bubble disconnected from ordinary people and their reality.

It’s much cooler today - perfect book buying conditions! Sally

Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible

'Runcorn Reform MP Sarah Pochin slammed for 'shameful' World War II post'. 'A French account replied with: "I don't understand why you're so eager to show the world how stupid you are, but rest assured, I admire your dedication."' Liverpool Echo. Bloody love the French account reply.

This is it. Will they outnumber us or will we outnumber them? Teach your children well.

Allow me to explain. The source of your skepticism is quite understandable because you’ve confused American voters with people from any other nation on earth. But— these are cavemen. Cretinous troglodytes. Quite literally, the dumbest people in world history. Fungi are smarter.

Our world is a tinderbox as we approach 1.5C above preindustrial temps. We’re locked in for at least 2C, & on track for 4C in our children’s ‘lifetimes’. Tumbleweeds as we wait for governments, the media & the public to provide a proportionate response to this information.

Good morning-I’m here until 4pm! Sally

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

For anyone who needs encouragement this is precisely how to fight fascism! #SheShed #ImpeachIndictRemove

For those of you that ever wondered what scares the shit out of him: #FabFord

It's just one long stream of BS from these fossil fuel-backed clowns. Adopting their policies would destroy a million jobs (see next post) while creating almost none in return. Total environmental and social vandalism. The absolute state of "conservatism". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I'm confident nobody will share this.

I cannot adequately express just how much I despise Kemi Badenoch. I know politicians who fail to read a room and get their tone wrong. I have never come across one with such an unerring ability to adopt the least appropriate stance on every single occasion. She is a twitter troll made flesh. #PMQs

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

I'm sad to see Starmer resign, a decent man and democratically elected leader forced out by the endless vitriol of the right wing press and misinformation spread on social media. It's a new low for the UK and no one who cares about democracy should celebrate it. ☹️

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.

I've always been a little suspicious of calling any artist 'the greatest' as though there were some league table. But as the years passed, and the work continued it's restless advance, and the way of seeing never faltered, it became clear to me that David Hockney really was ours. RIP.
