“Tommy Robinson” found guilty of harassing journalists New grift incoming

John Healey's #budget26 £100 energy pay-out is a bit like housing benefit - it subsidises extortionate prices and does nothing to address the underlying problem

Last year Andy Burnham endorsed the fossil fuel treaty, opposing new coal, oil, and gas projects and expansions Now he has approved gas drilling at the Jackdaw field Like Keir Starmer before him, he is a liar and a fraud www.fossilfueltreaty.org/massive-atta...

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you @premnsikka.bsky.social The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

At @thisisyourparty.bsky.social's Anti-Racism in Action event in Birmingham this morning, CEC member Candi Williamsutlines the day's activities and the reasons why organising against racism is so important everywhere it raises its ugly head "We cannot and we must not give an inch" 👏✊✊✊👏

At today's @thisisyourparty.bsky.social Anti-Racism in Action event CEC member Noor Begum on how racism is still here, but changed Young British Muslims shouldn't have to question if they belong here We must go beyond condemnation & our actions must be led by the people who experience racism 👏✊✊👏

I love that Watson is displaying a huge price-tag in the photo. Epitomises the man's principals- for sale to the highest bidder.

The Nobel Peace Prize has been a bit of a joke since they awarded it to Henry Kissinger (and Machado last year), but it's good to see Navi Pillay getting this platform to highlight Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. Notice the Guardian headline neglects to mention Israel… archive.ph/msx7k

Who has caused the most damage to the UK? Put these in order - most damage first, least damage last

In the UK, our public service are crumbling while the rich enjoy tax breaks Our taxes are not only regressive (scrap VAT, tax the rich!), but lower than the European average Tax does not fund government spending, but it is necessary to balance the economy

BBC appoints Rachel Jupp as new director of news I don't know what Jupp's politics are, but she was editor of the infamous "Is Labour Anti-Semitic?" Panorama episode... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fair play to whoever at the BBC chose this picture of the abuser formerly known as Prince Andrew to go with this story

Donald Trump is starving Cuba.

In June, we had the pleasure of chatting with Peter Oborne on Zoom about an article he was planning to write to mark our 25th anniversary. medialens.substack.com/p/peter-obor...

I’m so tired of the disabled and other benefits claimants being the low hanging fruit for politicians. Time and again we see them happy to take the last few pound of a starving disabled pensioner before even mentioning a wealth tax

How many pieces of evidence is that now, that Andy Burnham is Keir Starmer 2.0?

So after 16 years of the Tories and Starmer punishing, impoverishing, hounding and scapegoating benefits claimants to distract from the rich doubling their wealth, Andy Burnham’s Labour Party is promising a crackdown on … benefits claimants

Not really sure why, because I hate Facebook, but I've created a page... www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

In the UK we suffer from a lower pension, later retirement age and lower life expectancy than most European countries This means the amount of state pension we actually receive is much lower than in other countries

A state pension of £13k should ignite debate about why it is so low, not about its affordability

Jeremy Corbyn at today's Westminster housing demo, on Andy Burnham's promise to end rough sleeping: Good, but councils need funding to provide proper housing for them, not just hostels Also rules making people “intentionally homeless” need to change and those affected need help

Jeremy Corbyn at today's housing demonstration, demanding more council homes, rent control, rent regulation, and an increase in the local housing allowance - which currently 98% of properties nationally are outside of

Today's measures taken against illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank are welcome. However, they should mark only the start of the process in bringing about real peace and social justice for the Palestinian people. Read more:

There should be no Lords But the worst are those who support abolition, but later take a seat Then those who took a seat as a bribe to support a struggling PM Followed by those who were voted out as an MP and rejoined the legislature the undemocratic way www.thenational.scot/news/2651841...

Keir Starmer is complicit in the killing of 38,000 women and girls in Gaza. Now he wants to pretend that preventing violence against women and girls is one of his main priorities?

Andy Burnham said he'd end 40 yrs of neoliberalism, then did little more than return the bus fare cap to the same level the Tories set He U-turned on almost every significant proposal he made, and his cabinet, advisers and funders are the same neoliberal ghouls that Starmer had

Let's make this count On Monday 14th September MPs are debating whether there should be a referendum on who owns England's water This is a huge opportunity to keep the pressure on Andy Burnham to bring our water into public hands Take 2mins to email your MP: vist.ly/5ggj7

Every shift from Andy Burnham's early statements on what he'd do as PM has been in the direction of favouring the rich He said he'd end four decades of neoliberalism, but he's surrounded himself with a neoliberal cabinet, neoliberal advisers, staff and funders He's Starmer 2.0
