"We will not blame King George V for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes." —James Connolly

Yesterday morning I took my mum to the GP feeling unwell and they found a satsuma-sized lump.

She was given a referral for suspected gynaecological cancer and sent for an urgent blood test.

What happened next shocked me. This is what NHS privatisation means in practice👇1/🧵

It’s crucial to remember that the Nova music festival was supposed to end on Friday, October 6, but the organizers reached out to the IDF to get permission to extend it for an extra day. We know that warnings were everywhere at that point, yet the IDF approved the extension and added no security.

Now we know, from new reporting in Haaretz, that Netanyahu had explicitly been warned 10 days earlier that Hamas was planning an “earthquake” of an attack.

The actual headline: Andy Burnham to allow Sainsbury’s to use unpaid labour over Christmas so it doesn’t have to hire extra staff this year.

This is horrendous: charity facing bankruptcy because an American couldn’t take their dog into a cafe & is suing them… using Legal Aid.

Don’t you have to have a certain financial back up to immigrate to Scotland? How does that square with claiming legal aid?

Government services should never even be looking at profits.

The West was incensed when the Taliban blew up the Buddhist Bamiyan statues in Afghanistan.

Crickets as Israel blows up a UNESCO heritage site in Lebanon.

lol, no, thank unions. Capital would work you 24/7 in a coalmine starting at the ripe old age of 7 if they were allowed to. Every ounce of leisure time working people have is because workers organized.

The craziest thing about this chart is that the price hike all goes back to when food producers realized they could use COVID to artificially inflate prices and people would just keep paying it because they have to eat and then nobody ever stopped them or held them accountable.

Councils stopped building houses...and basically nobody took their place.

[Zo Brown @receipts_lol]

Irresponsible journalism not to consider Palestinians might have stolen IDF weapons to shoot their own children with.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

Fascism has arrived.

Dress it up with whatever language you like, but when you have masked men, dressed in a uniformal order, attacking people on the street based on skin colour, any argument about concerned citizens or frustrations about government are redundant. We are here.

Wow:
A striking 84% of proposed UK data centres are being built in regions already officially classified by the Environment Agency as "seriously water-stressed.
These centres have to be stopped.

Die gleichen Bürger aus dem Video, die in UK die Trümmertruppe Reform von Nigel Farage wählen, wählen bei uns AfD. Die haben überhaupt keine Ahnung was Überreich bedeutet. Schön, dass jemand ihnen das mal vor Augen hält.

Uncut grass keeps the ground at around 19.5°C
Grass cut to 10 cm raises the ground temperature to about 24.5°C
Bare ground in the middle of summer rises to over 40°C
It's important to raise awareness #NoMowMay

When they want your vote: working class, 'ordinary' people, 'local' people, football, everyone together, a pie and a pint.

When they've got your vote: national security, terror threat, big business, fiscal responsibility, Israel, 'the door is open, you can leave'.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?”

Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

.@ZackPolanski’s plan to freeze energy bills in June: £8.4bn. Labour politicians called it “catastrophic” saying he had “wrong answers on the economy”

A thought or two for any putative Labour leaders going forward.
