The UK has seen numerous devastating wildfires in recent days. The Welsh Government has warned that this fire, located on the mountains surrounding Blaenavon, will burn for several more days. The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

@Tush27J The Tories took National Debt to £2.7 trillion from £700 Billion in 14 years. Covid and the Financial crisis cost this country £500 billion. Everything is underfunded and fucked so where did £1.5 trillion pound go? They wasted wayyyyy more than £100 billion.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

Dear Andy Burnham
Next time the Tories ask you where's the money coming from, you should ask them where's the £100 billion gone the Tories spaffed whilst in power.

Canada is on fire.
Europe is on fire.
The Amazon is on fire.
Cities are breaking heat records.
Rivers are drying up.
Other countries are drowning in floods.
Storms are getting stronger.
Seasons don’t feel like seasons anymore.

And somehow…
climate change is still a debate.

Do you think the £10 billion wasted on duff PPE by the Conservative Party was just a honest mistake?🤔

Congratulations to Andy Burnham, Labour MP for Makerfield!

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

Massive win for Andy Burnham, for the Labour movement and the people of Makerfield ✊🚩🇬🇧 who've sent two billionaire funded racists to the bin!

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

Lauren Edwards MP has confirmed that she will reintroduce the assisted dying bill as a Private Members’ Bill in the House of Commons.

Her decision reflects the strong public and cross-party support for the bill, which passed in the House of Commons this time last year.

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.

Please RT this until this until he no longer is.

Thank you

Do you think Kemi Austerity Badenoch should look at ways the rich could contribute a bit more to help increase defence spending instead of punching down all the time on people on welfare benefits with the help of the right wing press?🤔
Repost after voting please.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

Dear @KemiBadenoch
£100 Bn general waste by the Tories.
£148 Mn owed by Michelle Mone.
£1.6 Bn stop the boats barge
£21 Bn handed to covid fraudsters

What have you to say about that?

[Hugh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @HughEdw31897368]

Chris Mason quotes Keir Starmer’s criticism of Boris Johnson.

Mason: “I put it to you that is an accurate description of your predicament right now”

Starmer: “I put it to you that that is wrong and let me explain why”

Spot on Keir! Putting the weasel in his place.
