Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state.
No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?
This is awful
We can have world peace, everyone can have what they need, Housing, Healthcare, Education, Pensions...
Or we can have billionaires and trillionaires and WW3.
The choice is really that simple, and there are no others.
Today is a good day for children! 450,000 will be lifted out of poverty thanks to the two child limit being scrapped.
We're celebrating this win along with 18 other organisations including charities, campaigners, unions and faith groups with a national advert The Times
Yes, Trump started a war and can’t figure how to get out of it. Gas prices are spiking, groceries cost a fortune, airline fares are rising, the Attorney General was just fired, the job market is wretched, the national debt is out of control, but the president is laser focused.

Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP
Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.
"Trump and Bondi briefly sat near each other during the Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, but the president soon switched chairs. Later, Bondi would ask Trump if she could keep her job until the summer. The president declined." (gift link)
NYT reports Hegseth is firing generals because they won’t take Black/female officers off the promotions list.🤔
In the middle of a war. 🎪
A terrible decision, and one which will do huge damage to the Government's climate credentials.
As Ed knows, this drilling won't lower bills, but instead it sends a clear message that Britain won't be a world leader on ending oil and gas exploitation
Starmer announces that the UK is pursuing closer EU relations:
“Brexit did deep damage to our economy. And the opportunities to strengthen our security and cut the cost of living are simply too big to ignore. We want to be more ambitious. Closer economic cooperation. Closer security cooperation.”
Jamie Raskin takes Farage, to town, AGAIN!
It's amazing Jamie can see through Farage so easily, and call him out.
He connects dots others refuse to even admit exist.
Let's send a message from the British public: we want Palantir OUT of our NHS.

🔥 Rachel Reeves admits what many businesses have been saying for years:
Brexit damaged trade, raised costs and made life harder: especially for smaller firms.
Closer alignment with the European Union isn’t ideology.
It’s economic reality.

Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️
The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...
A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.
Here's what has happened since then to public opinion
The UK declines joining the criminal US and Israel in their illegal war of aggression on Iran.
PM Keir: “Donald Trump has plunged the Middle East into chaos. We will stand by ethics, no matter the pressure.”
Tories are just negative about everything.
Oppose everything.
Complain about everything.
Pretend they are not responsible for all the failings they caysed from their 14 years in government.
They have short memories & think we do too.
But Communities Secretary put them straight!
In the last three days, the Brexiters have been losing their shit because "MPs were dancing while the war in Iran was going on."
Here's Farage yesterday.
And nothing...

Revealed: The Staggering Amount of Time Nigel Farage has Spent on ‘Second’ Jobs Since Becoming an MP
No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

I have good news and bad news about my friend Schrödinger's Cat...
Remember this is what Badenoch and Farage believe we should be doing.
Adolf Hitler attacked Czechoslavakia without declaring war
Hitler invaded Austria without declaring war.
Hitler invaded Poland and France and the USSR without warning.
Donald Trump invaded Venezuela without warning, he attacked Iran without warning.
oranges and oranges.
Spring in Leeds at last!
