"A land invasion would provoke a big reaction amongst Trump’s support base in the US, which generally opposes further US military interventions. However, bombings, drone attacks, assassinations, kidnappings – including Maduro – are not excluded, indeed more likely."
Solidarity with the working class of Venezuela!

They'll be creating a habitat for local wildlife and improving the park as a whole. Just drop in anytime between 11am and 3pm; hot drinks will be provided along with all tools 😀
Soon, the last sliver of electricity and connection will be exhausted. If I die, remember that I, we, were individuals, humans, we had names, dreams, and achievements, and our only fault was that we were just classified as inferior.

Stunned by the response to us calling a national strike day rally in London next Friday. The capital is being closed down by posties.

Your local postie is facing the most important week ever.
They are facing intimidation, threats and bullying from an out of control management team.
They will strike for 2 days to save the service and their jobs.
Are you with them?
"leading strikes & winning pay rises, like the Liverpool dockers winning a 14-18% rise & Stagecoach bus drivers in Hull winning 20%... unions are at the forefront of the fightback" continuing the fight at elections could get big response.

#RishiSunakNotMyPM They just don’t get it. Apparently government Ministers who resigned from Johnson’s government but who have been reappointed under Sunak can can claim a redundancy payment of £16,800 each. It’s just one endless corrupt gravy train.
Ofgem confirms energy price cap to be updated every three months
So wages, pensions and benefits should be uprated every three months to keep up, not fall behind, inflation.

#TUSC
Another #Labour councillor, for #Louth in #Lincolnshire, resigns from the Labour Party and declares as a #TUSC councillor. Inspired by @jeremycorbyn and dismayed by @Keir_Starmer? Let's build something new.

Hard to believe but true in Russia you will receive less jail time for protesting then in the UK and this is a democracy which enshrines our rights in law but if you exercised them you may go to Prison thanks to @pritipatel new bills to remove your #RightToProtest
If you vote for pro capitalist establishment parties, then don't expect anything different.
Alternatively, on May 5th #VoteTUSC and help build a new party that will truly represent the working class.
#LocalElections2022
A vote for @davenellist in the #Erdington by-election tomorrow will send a message to the political class that we've had enough of the cost of living crisis that they've caused, which their warmongering is making even worse.

#Scaffolders blocked the roads around @BritishSteelUK in Scunthorpe for two hours this morning, causing complete chaos as their strike continues to get paid the proper rate for the job - at present they're being paid 10-15% below national NAECI rates.
This morning I stood with members in dispute at Actavo in Scunthorpe - we cannot allow national agreements to be ignored, both @Actavo_HQ & @BritishSteelUK must pay the rate for the job. We will escalate this dispute to make sure that workers get the rate. #JobsPayConditions
