.@Nigel_Farage "Pure cold rage" you asked for it. You got it.
A 72-year-old Sikh pensioner had his head stamped on. Cheekbone shattered. Six teenagers arrested.

Your words have consequences. Your silence is complicity.

Happy now? 👑

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨| The number of people in a union in the UK has GROWN by 192,000 - to 6.6 million.

There has never been a more important time to be a member of a union.

When unions do well, working people do well.

It pays to be in a union.

If you don't like refugees coming to your country, then stop voting for politicians who love to bomb the shit out of other countries.

Elon continues to falsely call Hitler a “socialist”, and Grok continues to correct him, explaining that Hitler was a fascist who rejected Marxist socialism and class struggle.

Never deleting this app!

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations.

So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut.

Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever.

In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families.

When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.'

The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.

"If that is what Ben-Gvir and his henchmen are willing to do to British and European citizens on camera, what does he think they are doing to Palestinians off camera?"

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Mamdani: "Of the Margret Thatcher quote, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. If anything my friends, it seems you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

Funny how these ‘patriotic Christians’ never seem to follow this part of the Bible.

"Why are we still supplying arms and weapons to Israel”

Retweet if you agree with Corbyn

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

A heckler driving a truck with two St George’s flags on the roof shouts out, "Get Keir Starmer out. You’re ruining the country"

Rachel Reeves repeatedly says, "I love our country" then adds, "And one of the things about our country is good manners"

He then swears, and she replies, "It's not very British.. Right.. Very good.. Put that on the tele"

Not a fan of many of RR's policies, but she's absolutely right here to call him out and to stress the importance of good manners

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This week, the ICC requested an arrest warrant against Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

In response, he ordered the forcible evacuation and demolition of Khan al-Ahmar in the occupied West Bank.

This is ethnic cleansing. When will our government end its complicity?

🚨 JUST IN — Thomas Massie concedes the race:

“I would've come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede.”

“And it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”

That line is going to detonate across Washington.

Massie just turned his concession speech into a missile aimed directly at the flood of outside money and foreign policy influence that consumed this race.

The most expensive House primary in U.S. history ends with one final message:

This wasn’t just Kentucky voting.

This was the political establishment making an example out of someone who refused to fall in line.

The fact that there’s more noise about Zack Polanski not paying some council tax on a narrow boat, than there is about Nigel Farage taking a £5m bribe to run as an MP….confirms that it’s pretty fucking impossible to have functioning democracy AND a billionaire owned ‘free’ press
