Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

🚨 This morning we turned the street outside Labour Party Headquarters in London into Jabaliya camp in Gaza.
Listen to @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social talking about what the Israeli army did to his neighourhood and family.
Caroline Lucas criticises Labour's 1-in-1-out solution for small boat asylum seekers
She points out that before Brexit we could return asylum seekers to the EU, after Brexit we lost that agreement
She adds that we need a Europe wide solution, especially as the impact of climate change worsens
Blood soaked Government 😡

The PM can't keep his own MPs on side let alone keep a secret. It's a disgrace that they continue to support Israel 🏴

Labour is cutting disability benefits to balance Rachel Reeves’ budget, while handing billions in tax breaks to the rich. In this video I explain why this is morally bankrupt, and why Labour’s 70 MPs who backed down have failed the poorest.

Welfare bill climbdown will have ‘a cost’ at budget, says UK minister.
Another tactic for driving down people's aspirations.
UK can bail out banks, subsidise corporations, fund wars but somehow thecan't tackle poverty.
Last yr HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn of taxes; over £500bn since 2020.
This was from back in Dec 2023…
Just one of the endless stream of unspeakable crimes again humanity that we digest daily
But none of it was enough to galvanise our ‘leaders’ to act
…but chanting did.
Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape…

“There is no legality in these strikes, even if France supports the objective of preventing Iran from getting the nuclear bomb,” he said during a press conference “

Macron is right. If we accept the premise that any country can simply bomb another country on a whim, regardless of international law, then the postwar order is over and we are all now subject to the terorrism of tyrants.
Happy “Make yourselves poorer and more isolated” day…
£40Bn ongoing hit to economy and 10% inward investment drop confirmed…
But hey ho…
Who needs economic strength or strategic clout when you have super-special-sovereignty?
9 years on. And stupider every year.

Liz Truss's disastrous mini budget is a drop in the ocean compared to what Starmer has unleashed by backing Trump over Iran.
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities is an unprovoked and reckless act of aggression.
Starmer’s support for it shows he is willing to let Trump dictate UK foreign policy regardless of the consequences.
In 2003, anti-war activists broke into RAF Fairford to stop US bombers heading to Iraq.
Keir Starmer defended their actions and said it was justified to prevent war crimes.
Now his government is banning Palestine Action for doing the same.
The Prime Minister is a hypocrite.
Sir Alan Bates calls for those responsible for wrongful convictions in Post Office Capture scandal to be 'brought to account'

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted.
It won’t be released in unredacted form.
More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment.
What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.
I had to find out 😬
I’ll leave this here
UK Civil Service told to slash running costs by 15%, £2bn.
What would that be - cuts in airport safety, minimum wage inspections, health and safety, child welfare, flood defences, river cleanliness, benefit assessment?
Policy on the hoof pays no attention to human cost.
Living standards for all UK families set to fall by 2030, those on the lowest incomes declining twice as fast as middle and high earners.
Poorest in UK already worse off than poorest in Malta.
Govts appease corporations and the rich.
Must end neoliberal policies. Redistribute. Tax the rich.
So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled
Alan Sugar, "Brexit was a total absolute disaster, and anybody who says it's not is deluded"
Amol Rajan, "What do you think it would take to get this country growing again?"
Alan Sugar, "Go back into the European Union"
If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
Screenshot of polling data from Jan 2025
The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33%
Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.
Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.
As we wake up to the news of another 200 Palestinians (minimum) killed by Israeli air strikes in a clear end to the ceasefire…
