Tom Morello opening speech in Minneapolis 🔥
Proud to join the Fire Brigade Union at the launch of the Cuts Kill campaign.
In Scotland, we know all about SNP cuts to the Scottish Fire & Rescue service.
🔥 1,000 fewer firefighters
🔥 Less appliances on the run

The service needs investment, not cuts!
Tactical voting groups say greens - not labour - will stop Reform in byelection.
On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope.
On Thursday help us make hope normal again.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Help us make hope normal again.
Join the Green Party now.
Rich, powerful and ethically questionable companies have far too much influence on our society.
We need stronger regulation of social media, especially for children and young people.
BBC News. Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales sentences to 10-and-a-half years for taking pro-Russia bribes.
The former Reform leader received up to £40,000 to help pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.
It's time to fix the rigged economy from one that serves the super rich, to one that serves people and planet.
Join the movement 🌍

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.
So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong
Still absolutely nothing to say about far right thugs rioting and attacking the police while a US tech billionaire calls for a violent insurrection on our streets

No public hearings, anomolies in key files, a highly unorthodox new process, and getting the same official who approved Flamingo Land to mark his own homework.
The Scottish Government must ensure the Loch Lomond appeal is conducted fairly and with full transparency.
Headline in the Dunfermline Press reads: "Safety fears as city regularly left with just one fire engine"
I share concerns that removing the second fire appliance from Lochgelly would put lives at risk.

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die - AFP, July 21, 2025 AFP has been working with one freelance writer, three photographers, and six freelance videographers in the Gaza Strip since the departure of its staff journalists in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones reporting what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years. We refuse to see them die. One of them, Bashar, has worked for AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then as a freelance photographer, and since 2024 as the main photographer. On Saturday, July 19, he managed to post a message on Facebook: "I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can no longer work."
Bashar, 30, works and lives in conditions equal to those of all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another as Israeli bombardments dictate. For over a year, he has lived in absolute destitution and works at enormous risk to his life. Hygiene is a major problem for him, with periods of severe intestinal illness. Bashar has been living in the ruins of his Gaza City home since February with his mother, his four siblings, and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any amenities or comforts, except for a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that his older brother had "fallen from hunger." Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, there is nothing to buy, or only at exorbitant prices. The banking system has disappeared, and those who exchange money between online bank accounts and cash charge a commission of nearly 40%.
AFP no longer has the means to have a vehicle, let alone the fuel to allow its journalists to travel for their reports. Traveling by car is tantamount to running the risk of being a target for the Israeli air force. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. Ahlam, for her part, survives in the south of the enclave. And she is determined to "bear witness" for as long as possible. "Every time I leave the tent to cover an event, conduct an interview, or document a story, I don't know if I'll come back alive." The biggest problem, she confirms, is the lack of food and water. We see their situation worsening. They are young, and their strength is failing them. Most no longer have the physical ability to travel the enclave to do their job. Their heartbreaking pleas for help are now daily.
Over the past few days, we have understood from their brief messages that their lives no longer depend on much and that their courage, devoted for many months to informing the whole world, will not help them survive. We risk learning of their deaths at any moment, and it's unbearable. This Sunday, Bashar wrote: "For the first time, I feel defeated." Later that day, he told one of us that he thanked him "for explaining what we live daily between death and hunger." "I wish Mr. Macron could help me get out of this hell." Ahlam is still standing. "I try to continue practicing my profession, to carry the voice of the people, to document the truth in the face of all attempts to silence it. Here, resistance is not a choice: it's a necessity." Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us remembers seeing a colleagues die of starvation.

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter
Since 2010, firefighters have endured a real-terms pay cut of around 12%.
Now, Whitehall proposes to raid public sector pensions to compensate for a decade of austerity.
Firefighters have already seen their pension terms worsen, forcing them to work until 60.
@unionstevew.bsky.social says:
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?
Yesterday a Labour government voted to slash £2 billion from some of the poorest people in our society.
They sip drinks at Mastercard HQ while disabled people are pushed to food banks.
I know I speak for millions when I say: we won't take this anymore.
At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:
“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”
According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
