@Sathnam Satnam Sangera presented a palimpsest of voices reflecting on how their upward social mobility was enabled by the 1944 Education Act but not on how tripartite selection persists despite today's general downward social mobility. For which see - https://t.co/7CUQPfvGVR

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

Water privatisation is a scam.

Over £70 billion paid out to shareholders from the water companies, while management has loaded them up with debt, raised bills, cut investment and pumped crap into our rivers.

Stop the scam. Public ownership now.

"People here have no food, no water, no sanitation, nothing."

Humanitarian teams from the UN and the World Health Organisation have entered Northern Gaza. They say hospitals are in ruins, and people don't know how to survive.

Thank God someone is worried about kids being groomed

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Former deputy PM Lord Heseltine said that nearly five years on, Brexit “has been a historic disaster”.

“It has destroyed Britain’s leadership in Europe just at a time when there was a critical need (for it), it has closed off opportunities for the younger generation to share in the benefits of Europe and it has denied Britain’s industrial base access to the research and policies of Europe. Our economy is much worse because of it and there is no reputable authority that denies this.

“I think the British people know that they were deceived and the deceit is measured in reduced living standards,” he added.

The Crime Survey for England & Wales says incidents fell sharply from 1995 to 2024. ONS data shows crime in England & Wales is at its lowest recorded level. Burglary is 70% lower than in 2002-3. Domestic violence and car crime have dropped precipitately since the 1990s.

“Horrors are endless in Gaza.”

“We see children being killed everyday.”

“We see people crushed to death waiting for food, for flour.”

“Children are freezing to death because they don’t have shelter items.”

Laura Kuenssberg, "Elon Musk, a political pal of Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, attacking Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government, over inaction over the grooming scandal"

Alan Johnson, "It's Orwellian.. In 1984, slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength.. We've had a public inquiry into grooming, it took 7 years, it cost £200 million"

"Why is the leader of the opposition Kemi Badenoch calling for a public inquiry when she was in cabinet when they made recommendations, none of which have been acted on"

"What Elon Musk is proving is having lots of money doesn't make you intelligent about world affairs"

Here's the Chancellor candidate of the German Greens, Robert Habeck, stating what everyone needs to know. Namely that a strong EU is the best counterweight to authoritarians like Musk and Trump. Which is why they support those parties that want to weaken the EU.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

Security footage shows the moment Israeli forces use an ambulance to infiltrate into Balata refugee camp in the West Bank as part of a deadly raid that killed a young man and an elderly woman.

Using ambulances or other medical transport vehicles displaying medical insignia to carry out military attacks is widely recognized by international bodies as a war crime.

What chutzpah! Farage has the gall to complain “We are getting poorer” without a scintilla of shame that Brexit has played a key role in our impoverishment @bbclaurak

[A C Grayling #FBPE #Reform #Rejoin #FBPR @acgrayling]

This execrable man tells us we've got poorer - we have - but doesn't blame the real reason - Brexit - & instead blames immigration.
Shameless.
Right wing stooge interviewer of course doesn't challenge.
Pathetic, irresponsible, damaging.

[A C Grayling #FBPE #Reform #Rejoin #FBPR @acgrayling]

Why is Labour continuing with the Tories' Brexit? Oh, they want a 'reset', & are now 'resetting the reset' - while
rationality, sanity, common sense & necessity all jointly say: Rejoin the SM and restore FOM.
Just get on with it.
