At this stage it's mostly just terrible news and beautiful plants. Always my photo (except RTs), mostly but not always my garden.

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

The Labour Party was not the 'party of work'. It was created by workers to provide improved rights, wages and conditions & for the protection for workers who became ill, old or disabled. This is an utter travesty of the truth. And what we have come to expect from this man.

🚨We must be EXTREMELY cautious about the Govt making powers to take money straight from our private bank accounts!

We all want fraudsters to face the law - but why not after fair court process?

They’re turning welfare into a digital surveillance system

🚨There is an ENORMOUS power grab today with Govt publishing a new law to

- take money directly out of our bank accounts

- revoke our driving licenses (!)

- constantly monitor the population’s bank statements

- search houses + devices

Unprecedented and outrageous - a🧵

The frosty weather this week has made for some stunning photos - huge thanks to everyone who took part in #WildFlowerHour tonight!
Wonder how many of these plants will still manage to bloom during the week ahead?
Let's meet up next Sunday 8pm to find out!

Israel is escalating its assault on the Palestinian healthcare system, attacking hospitals and imprisoning healthcare workers.

Join us tonight to send a message to the government: end your complicity in these war crimes and take action to save human life, now.

[Peace & Justice Project @corbyn_project]

Christmas and New Year remind us that hope endures — and it is hope that fuels our struggle.

A message from our founder @jeremycorbyn.

[PalMedia @PalMediaOrg]

In all likelihood there are at least 100,000 Palestinians in Gaza buried under the rubble:

Is Sir Keir Starmer delaying next year’s local council elections for a year because he knows Labour is going to get annihilated?

What a coward

[Matthew Payne @Matthew82069336]

I don't really know how Sir Keir Starmer has the audacity to attack Jeremy Corbyn's manifestos of 2017 and 19. Firstly,he supported them both,secondly,they were fully costed,and thirdly,this coming from man and his idiot Chancellor who are sending country further down the toilet.

[GardensHour @GardensHour]

It’s almost time for #GardensHour! It’s the last one of the year before our short Christmas break, so grab a festive tipple or snack, then come and join the festive fun in an hour.

All usual gardening posts welcome too, if being festive isn’t your thing.

[audrey White @RedRosa91940184]

That’s exactly what Labour is doing- helping Reform - no question about it. Starmer, his cabinet, many of his MPs and much of his membership prefers the right, the far right and even fascism to genuine socialism. Deny it all they like these genocide enablers sabotaged r movement

[Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich]

I remember learning about the razing of Carthage as a kid and being horrified, yet grateful we lived in a world where something that evil was unimaginable. But that's what's been done to Gaza: not just mass murder, but the wiping out of an entire society. And we all watched it.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Israel is invading Syria.

While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus.

This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.

My statement on the Assisted Dying Bill.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

Keir Starmer answers Brendan O'Hara SNP as to whether arrest warrants for Gallant & Netanyahu mean he will stop selling arms to Israel 🇮🇱:

‘The UK 🇬🇧 will continue to sell arms and Starmer will continue to claim they are for ‘defence’.’

The Hague now.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

The US empire is fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.

The US government is pressuring Ukraine to lower its military recruitment age from 25 to 18, so it can push more young Ukrainians into the imperial meat grinder on behalf of NATO.

@just_cameroon Only for about the last 18 month or so I think 🤔 We've had a bit of everything here today to be honest, sun was out in 10 minute bursts

[rickretweets @Rickretweets]

Pickle-plant, delosperma echinatum, the new growth is a bit leggy so I might take some cuttings and try to give them more light. #HouseplantHour
