37 years ago 97 football fans had their lives unlawfully taken by the state, whilst their fellow fans were blamed.
37 years on their loved still fight, now against a new Labour government who continue to lie, conceal & deny accountability.
JFT97 always. YNWA. We never forget♥️

📍 Wirral coastal walk. Beautiful.
Shame the public toilets are closed & being sold off. An increasingly inaccessible country
Once I was in the green room prepping for a panel. Shared with another panellist what I was going to say. Went out to panel & he said ALL of what I was going to say. Which was based on my literal experiences as a woman organising…
One day we publish the never ending list of men in academia / left commentariat who literally rip off (particularly early career) women’s ideas. They are so brazen it’s almost not believable. And it’s SO common.
NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Influencers in Dubai are now waxing lyrical about delivery drivers being the “unsung heroes” as they delivered their coffees / salads during attacks…couldn’t make this stuff up
Yep!!!
British entrepreneurs
Moved to Dubai to avoid UK tax ✅
Spread lies about immigration whilst in another country ✅
Demand we, the tax payer, pay for their evacuation ✅
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
Can get Pizza Express WiFi as going through Manchester but not @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social WiFi on the train. Fantastic country
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯
Quite the contrary…
The level of dirt thrown against Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer this week from the Gutter Press and from Labour/Reform was unbelievable.
And for what crime? Just wanting to make Britain a better place to live.
But in the end it did not work. Shows there is still hope in this world
But this @greenparty.org.uk win is a win for us all. A win way beyond Greater Manchester. 💚
Reform & Labour uniting over a sad attempt to pull a Trumpian January 6th because they both lost a race only they could win.
Both parties now spreading overt Islamophobia through claims of “family voting” - which is going unchallenged by mainstream media of course.
Many examples we can give folk on streets as to why Reform are purely a party for big businesses & the wealthiest, this is one of the clearest: www.bigissue.com/news/housing...
☀️Sunshine really is the best disinfectant.
For too long royal FOI exemptions have allowed royal power to act in the shadows, and conceal important truths from MPs, the press, and the public.
They must be removed to tackle this systemic corruption.
Genuine question: is there a single pledge Starmer's Labour government haven't broken? As in, actually followed through with earnestly & in full
Bridget Phillipson: "We shouldn't lose sight of the young women who suffered.."
Every cabinet minister, including Phillipson, knew Mandelson had stayed at Epsteins house after he was convicted & none of them spoke out publicly when he was appointed. Where was this concern then?
Spring finally on its way
Not again!

This was an issue that developers dug their heels in on at the public hearings for the last local plan for Cambridge & South Cambs. The councils wanted higher standards, developers didn't.
📍Snowdonia
Daily reminder that opposition to controlling the cost of rents is manufactured by the very actors who benefit from high rents.
It's been well cited for years that public support for rent controls is high, because why wouldn't it be!
People 'on the left' are showing their internalised misogyny quite blatantly in context of upcoming Gorton & Denton by-election. A local w/c woman w/ socialist principles is up against an extreme elitist grifter yet 'the left' is obsessed with tearing the former to shreds
In England, approximately 1 in 153 people are currently homeless.
Globally, the average sits at 1 in 25 & in other comparable OECD countries it's 1 in 400.
That's a genuine marker of 'broken Britain'
If people choose to be property guardians/live in tiny homes b/c it suits them, fine, their prerogative. But there’s been a concerted push in last few years to frame this as a) desirable for all & b) the “solution to the housing crisis”
Pure propaganda to retain existing system
Another example of the lengths that the mainstream media will go to obscure the real cause of the housing crisis: extortionate rent.
If it’s not romanticising “tiny homes” then it’s living in abandoned buildings…bleak from @skynewsrss.bsky.social yet again
