'DNS has repeatedly reminded politicians, Office for Budget Responsibility figures show that total spending on social security as a proportion of GDP* is roughly stable and is predicted to be at the same level in 2030-31 as it will be in 2026-27, at 11.2 per cent**.'

The UK government is banning people who criticise 'israel' from entering the country while over 2000 IOF terrorists who took part in the mass murder of Christian and Muslim men, women, and children walk free on British streets.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

❗Research from Save the Children: Palestinian children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused, humiliated and starved in Israeli military detention.

The torture, and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of children, is getting worse.

🔴 More than half of the formerly-detained children we surveyed reported witnessing or experiencing sexual violence
🔴 99% reported physical assault
🔴 82% reported being forcibly stripped naked
🔴 94% reported being denied medical care
🔴 100% reported being denied contact with their families

@YvetteCooperMP, @HFalconerMP: the UK Government should publicly call for the release of all Palestinian children arbitrarily detained and call for an end to Israeli military authorities arresting, detaining and prosecuting children.

This would be amazing if we could be this close to peak fossil fuel

[Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social @MLiebreich]

My latest for Bloomberg: "We are about to see the Great Clean Energy Acceleration 2.0 – a discontinuity in energy markets as profound as the oil shocks of the 1970s, and one that could bring forward peak fossil fuel use and emissions to this side of 2030." https://t.co/857eRwNea3

Left: Reform UK's Robert Kenyon says he wants to stop St Mary’s becoming a mosque

Right: The building was never a consecrated church. It was a former school used as a prayer hall. It closed, stood empty for five years, and is now being turned into a food bank with a multi-faith prayer room

@LucyTrims Industry privatisation went so well. Water in top condition. No taxpayer funds spent upgrading infrastructure telecoms infrastructure that will enable private firms. The experiment didn't work..

[Gay Manc @GayTory]

ReformTV presenters not understanding that the French, yes the bloody French, work fewer hours but have better productivity than us Brits.

Productivity is key, not working longer. Paying to subsidise low productivity won’t grow the economy.

[michelle maher @mmaher70]

Everytime a disabled person and their carer's hear, cut welfare, we die more, we fear more

Our stress levels are immeasurable

We live in poverty

15 year's press, and Gov, have caused unimaginable cruelty

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

What is Israel's strategy?

◾️ Iran not defeated
◾️ Hamas not defeated
◾️ Hezbollah not defeated
◾️ Israel despised across the globe
◾️ U.S. views of Israel in freefall
◾️ Mass youth shift in favor of Palestinians
◾️ Israeli leaders wanted for genocide
◾️ Unimaginable suffering in West Asia
◾️ Vaunted 'Western values' in tatters
◾️ International norms obliterated
◾️ Human rights set back centuries
◾️ Judaism conflated with barbarism
◾️ Israelis seen as worse than Nazis
◾️ Term "antisemitism" mangled
◾️ AIPAC considered a toxic influence
◾️ "America First" seen as a farce

Dropping more bombs on civilians, starving children, smashing Christian symbols, brutalizing detainees, erasing villages, and spending billions on propaganda cannot undo the colossal damage done. So again, what is Israel's strategy??

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

PIP provides vital support for Disabled people to live their lives with dignity in ways most people would take for granted. Yet I know both from talking to Torbay residents and as Liberal Democrat DWP spokesperson how engaging with DWP around PIP can be a deeply distressing, difficult experience.

If you have experience of PIP, please submit evidence to the Timms Review, as the deadline is fast-approaching on 28th May. You can email the government directly [email protected] (including to receive alternative formats).

Disability Rights UK, Toynbee Hall, and the Commission on Social Security have created a co-designed survey to both contribute to the review, and help form their response when the review is published.
Print, Easy Read, BSL, and online versions of the survey can all be found on this page: https://t.co/tRYqxZbtJ2

If you miss the official deadline as a Torbay constituent please get in touch with me directly at [email protected]

@RITB_ @Hossylass I think people assume that everyone on Universal Credit is living a life of luxury. My cousin has a health-related issue and only qualifies for basic UC, which is £400 monthly. He now works part-time, earns around £1k a month, and because of this, only gets around £100 of the UC.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

I'm Jewish, British & 64

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & other leaders were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?

NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I think I have my answer and it is profoundly disturbing
