Mick Lynch is just one of those men that has a way of speaking with integrity and with heart - when Laila Cunningham talks about immigrants taking advantage he replies
"We, the British people believe in helping one another through a fair tax system...you believe in making your friends richer"

🔴 @AndyBurnhamGM on BBC today:

“I think Britain has been on the wrong path for 40 years.”

👍 It started with de-industrialisation, bus deregulation, and the privatisation of life’s essentials.

👏 We need to… get the basics back under public control so that people can afford their rent, their energy bills, etc.

🙌 He wants Labour to “change and once again [be] the party that people in this borough knew… I don’t blame anybody who has gone away and voted for other parties. I want them to regain their trust… I want Labour solidly to become a working class community.”

🚨LOUGH NEAGH CAN’T WAIT🚨

40 years ago, communities came together to resist the extraction and exploitation of Lough Neagh through proposed Lignite mining.

Now, we must march again.

Decades of pollution, exploitation and political failure have pushed Lough Neagh to ecological crisis point.

On Sunday 17th May, join families, swimmers, fishermen, campaigners and communities to stand up for the Rights of Lough Neagh.

📍 Assemble: 12 noon - The Battery Bar
🚶 March: 12:30pm to Ardboe High Cross

And yet it is the future of the Labour Party which is being endlessly discussed.

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

The public are rightly angry.

England’s rivers are among the most polluted in Europe, with sewage spills, agricultural runoff and chemical pollution continue to devastate our waterways.

That's why we want an ambitious new Water Bill in the King’s Speech tomorrow – one that finally meets the scale of the crisis facing our water environment and our communities.

We need an ambitious new Water Bill that restores our rivers, strengthens regulation, and holds polluters to account. Clean water should be the bare minimum.

Quite… I will put it another way… to change leaders now is utter madness…

Wholeheartedly support stopping the vile plan to farm octopuses.

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

I don't want Keir to resign - nor do I want him to set a timetable for resigning - I want the Labour Party to diagnose its own problems and the wider fragmenting political landscape and face facts: working class people are in a zero sum game and we need to be on their side ... 1/

A wall of crypto money is powering Nigel Farage, both politically and personally. And much of the British media just shrugs https://t.co/SlxBYqnfj5

You're going to hear a lot about how Reform is now a national party.

It's not true, as John Curtice sets out here. They're doing very well in areas that voted strongly for Brexit and not very well at all in areas that voted strongly Remain @Prosper_UK_

In December, the Govt will decide if it will renew the glyphosate licence until 2041…
•That’s 15 more years of impacts on worms, bees, soils and run-off into ponds and rivers, and glyphosate in your food. Sign Garden Organic’s petition NOW to ban this dangerous herbicide.

After losing over 400 seats (and counting) in the local elections, Kemi Badenoch has declared the Conservative Party "back", to levels of delusion not seen since the days of Liz Truss

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Happy Birthday Sir David

We won’t protect what we don’t love & we won’t love what we don’t know

Thank you for enabling us to know & love this precious planet even more deeply

Now we must urgently act on that love - and protect & restore the earth while there’s still time 💚

Gibraltar dumping all of its raw sewage into Mediterranean

Wastewater from nearly 40,000 people and businesses pumped straight into sea as island still has no treatment plant

We should still be shocked.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” - Keir Starmer

[The Left Bible @theleftbible]

Nigel Farage would hate if this went viral.

So let’s share the shit out of it 👇

"Concern that pellets clean-up 'could take years'."

Remember those millions of plastic beads dumped onto Camber Sands by Southern Water last November, the stuff that contains any number of heavy metals, lead, arsenic, etc.

What's happened since, CEO gone to jail, any directors being prosecuted?

Of course not. It's the EA who's in charge.

"Sickening sight and smell as human sewage pours into Carmarthenshire river."

So it's all been going on in Wales this weekend. Welsh Water really are a joke.
