BREAKING

Stood on a soap box, Sue explained her motivation.

Powell boasts about social housing but Manchesterism is a *dramatic* increase in private renting!

Burnham promised 10k new social homes by ‘28 but 600ish have materialised so he will miss his pledge badly.

Seeing him run on Manchesterism and ‘ending neoliberalism’ is surreal.

Wild video shows British cops in an unmarked car detaining a jogger with a Palestine flag because he “flagged up in [their] live facial recognition” system.

“We stop a lot of people that have done nothing wrong whatsoever,” he explains.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

What the f*ck is he talking about? Harold Wilson won 3 majorities for Labour (one of them a landslide): in 1964, 1966, and October 1974. And he was a far better prime minister than Starmer!

Right wingers pretend not to understand that the Viking period (800-1100AD) has no influence on modern racial politics, whereas 300 years of British imperialism (1650-1950) has created the structure of power that continues to affect our world. One also ended much more recently!

[Harry Cole @MrHarryCole]

Kinda wild Norway just own their evil rape and pillage culture as cute rowing… yet Brits are constantly made to feel bad for giving half the world their civil services, judiciaries, education, railways and postal services etc.

🚨🇵🇸 NEW: Hamas has dissolved its governing body in Gaza, ending 20 years of rule there

Gaza will now be taken over by a technocratic Palestinian committee

@DominicPenna Daily Telegraph circulation figures 2003-2016. They are no longer published because it's too embarrassing.

[John L @jwsal]

Look at this enshittified website that doesn't even post links properly anymore. I hope Elon Musk gets painfully [redacted].

[John L @jwsal]

There's no point posting links here anymore but I wrote about how many pubs in Lambeth are closing or being redeveloped. https://t.co/QitYO1IScN

Another £15 billion for the military when the NHS, housing, higher education and many of the other things that actually make Britain great are falling to pieces. https://t.co/mk2m4gmelE

@HarpreetKhara I was in one near Oxford Street and I heard a tourist say a particularly American swear, and I said to the publican 'good thing Humphrey's not here to hear that', and she said 'oh well apparently he's on his last legs and his son doesn't care anyway'.

[John L @jwsal]

To be fair Humphrey's son Sam has been running the Southern Sam Smith's pubs for a while and they don't follow the authoritarian rules his dad imposed on the Northern pubs.

[Chris @crubba]

United Kingdom you listen to me! If you’re near a Sam Smith’s right now, any type of Sam Smith’s, go into to the pub right now and start playing explicit music from your phone. That pub is yours as of right now

@ajb_powell I think it's more the fact that Gail's' owner Bain Capital has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Israeli tech companies, and that it's widely seen as a symbol of gentrification which is hollowing out Brixton's cultural legacy.

[John L @jwsal]

@jakewg_ Right wing compelled speech trying to force people to call trans women something they’re not.

[KWAJO- Social Issues Campaigner @Kwajotweneboa]

LOOOL who is this supposed to be ‘Affordable’ for?

I warned everyone this is what will be happening across London and beyond. Homes being built that you actually can’t afford.

[John L @jwsal]

You continue to allow Israeli weapons manufacturers to operate in the UK and offer material assistance to genocide. You are complicit in aiding these genocidaires and it will never be forgotten.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Calling for "all of Lebanon to burn" is a horrendous and abhorrent statement from an Israeli Minister who has rightly been sanctioned by the UK Government.

We call on both Israel and Hizballah to comply with the agreed ceasefire, and ensure that all civilians are protected.

[John L @jwsal]

@RepNancyMace One of the stupidest people on the planet.

[John L @jwsal]

The EA is culpable for the pollution of our natural landscape through inaction. Get your act together or people will do your job for you and make you look stupid.

Planning to cool off with a swim this weekend? ☀️

Make sure you check Swimfo first for the latest on water quality data.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

The Environment Agency should definitely be worried now. My Daily Mail status has been upgraded from yesterday’s “do-gooder” to today’s “well-meaning”.

[John L @jwsal]

God this site is so enshittified it can’t even post links properly anymore. What a stupid place.

[John L @jwsal]

I’ve written about Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall estate and their plans to redevelop a school near Oval cricket ground into housing. https://t.co/ofF8HgPEFM
