Irish/Welsh by parentage. Scots by birth. European/Internationalist by inclination. An awkward Celt. Retweets are not necessarily endorsements

@AdamBienkov You know the answer to your question and so do many others who know what the BBC is like. Bias towards the right, which has become even more obvious, as they campaign to undermine the Govt and install a Farage regime, aping Trump in the US.

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

Pleased to be quoted in this - we must pushback on these narratives that scapegoating us for successive governments' policy failures.

The enemy is not the wheelchair user or migrant next door, but those legislating to make all our lives harder.

🚨 BREAKING: The City finally admits it 👉Brexit broke Britain’s money machine.

Treasury’s new figures show:
💸 UK productivity has crashed since Brexit.
🏦 £1 trillion in banking assets have fled to the EU.
📉 City output once the driver of UK growth is now dragging it down.
💔 Result: a £20 billion hole in the public finances.

Even Chancellor Rachel Reeves now admits Brexit caused the slump but refuses to fix it by rejoining the Single Market.

This isn’t just about bankers. When productivity falls, everyone pays:
Lower wages 💷
Higher taxes 📈
Worse public services 🏥

Brexit didn’t take back control, it took away Britain’s future earnings.

The money machine is misfiring and Labour’s red lines mean it stays that way.

Zack Polanski is an articulate, authentic, passionate & principled leader

Listen to why he supports Palestinian 🇵🇸 rights:

‘My faith in Judaism is why I stand with 🇵🇸’
‘Because never again must mean never again for everyone’
‘It is standing for humanity’

The Greens have landed

@AdamParkhomenko He was cut off by Cuba's Foreign Minister in a U.N. debate about the blockade. Cuba won that debate: 165 countries voted "Yes" for the Cuban resolution against the sanctions.

Once again, the world stands with the Cuban people.

This happened in the last 24 hours and I have not seen it on cable TV news once.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Labour have chosen BlackRock over the people.

Labour have chosen Zionism over international law.

Labour have chosen private healthcare over the NHS.

Labour have chosen oil and gas CEOs over the planet.

This is why Labour are decimated in the polls.

150,000 aged 90 and above wait 12 hours in England’s A&Es each year.

Older people left in excrement, wet beds, denied pain relief, forced to watch/hear other patients die.

NHS money pilfered by PFI and privatisation

But ... Govts have fiscal rules.

NPA's Kirsty Jones:

"Labour is no longer the party we joined to represent - Keir Starmer has betrayed the very people who elected him - Labour have implemented devastating cuts, outsourced services, closed community centres and libraries - and overseen deaths of homeless people"

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Sharon Graham, UNITE, "If you've got a £1,700 bill, £500 of that is profit.. They've made £30 billion in a single year.. It's obscene"

Meanwhile Labour go after the poor, the disabled, the elderly, instead of windfall taxing energy companies. Disgraceful

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

The Czech Republic denied entry to an Israeli reservist who fought in Gaza and Lebanon and is accused of committing genocidal crimes. He was held for hours at Prague’s airport before being informed of a Schengen-wide ban issued by France.

Four armed officers confronted him and his wife at passport control, citing serious criminal allegations. Despite efforts to contact the Israeli embassy, the couple was forced to return to Israel.

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

The state of Israel at the UN call Francesca Albanese "a witch"...

This is how they treat UN officials unmasking their crimes.

Her response is perfect.

Imagine what lies they make up about Palestinians when they accuse respected UN figures of witchcraft.....

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Watch @EdwardJDavey call for an inquiry into Russian interference & Starmer call Reform ‘Putin-friendly’.

So *why* is he still refusing to have this inquiry that Intelligence & Security said is *essential* for our national security?

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

“I’m Jewish & I’m pro-Palestinian. Supporting Palestinian rights isn’t antisemitic, it’s pro humanity.”

We’ve waited years for this….a leader with common sense, humanity & moral fortitude.

It’s clear that a vote for @ZackPolanski is a vote for equality & peace 💚

[Seamus Logan MP @SeamusLoganMP]

A clear breach of public trust - my point of order in the Chamber today, asking for the Chair to call @SteveReedMP to the House to apologise for risking "misleading the public" according to @UKStatsAuth over his dubious statements on Scottish water quality. #SewageSteve

[Minh Alexander minhalexander.bsky.social @alexander_minh]

No, he is disliked because he stole a party, broke manifesto promises, abandoned the poor and vulnerable, bullied and suppressed, indulged in vile jingoism & flag waving, weaponised false claims of antisemitism, enabled a genocide and has no visible core or spine
