If Britain feels like an island of strangers then it’s not because of migrants, but inequality.
Everything of value is eroded, social lives included. No one can afford to eat out with friends, visit family by train, or whatever. We work, shop at Tesco, pay rent, and that’s it.
no matter how hard certain well funded groups of bigots try, you cannot legislate an entire group of people out of existence — you can only, willingly, make their lives harder
solidarity to trans people, particularly trans women, everywhere. trans women will always be women 🏳️⚧️♥️
If the country's finances are so bad, then why are we still spending £50 billion a year on the military?
If there's no money left, why are we spending £12,000 a minute on nuclear weapons?
If we can afford to bomb people, why can't we afford to feed people?
The PM says he’s got tough decisions to make, but a 2% wealth tax on the super-rich (us) wouldn’t be tough. A small tax on assets over £10M won’t hurt anyone’s wealth but will benefit everyone. It’s common sense for a fairer, stronger economy. #WealthTax#FairEconomy
Shame on every single politician who has pandered to, stoked & used anti-immigrant racism for political gain. These racist riots are not created in a vacuum.
Politicians need to call out what we’re witnessing: straight up racism & Islamophobia.
For too long, the media & political establishment have normalised Islamophobia & anti-migrant rhetoric. This is the direct result.
We need a mass movement to challenge & defeat this fascism.
7 Labour MPs (below) have just been suspended after voting for an SNP amendment calling for the abolition of the two-child child benefit cap.
Wales has the highest rate of child poverty in the UK, but no Welsh Labour MPs voted against child poverty tonight.
I have long dreamed of a Labour government and I think only now it has hit me that this is a Labour government that does not believe in a free Palestine, does not believe trans people deserve to live their lives, will not fight to end child poverty in this country
