At the Palestine March on Saturday, I had a message for the billionaire-funded Tommy Robinson march down the road:

Your hatred won’t build one council house, improve one hospital or help one homeless person on the streets of London.

A new mural of the iconic moment of solidarity by Lamine Yamal (@Yamal19Official ) at Dalymount Park has just been completed by m23graphics.

It is accompanied by the campaign message to stop Ireland's scheduled games against Israel #StopTheGame

As a former Red, and having watched too many Liverpool masterclasses at Villa Park ( and played in a couple), that could be the worst Liverpool performance in B6 I've seen. And I'd include the 7-2 in that.

No idea what the team is trying to do and that's a very, very rare thing to say about any Liverpool team.

Plaid’s historic difficulty was that it appeared as the party of one form of Welshness rather than the political form of Wales as a whole. It did not always speak naturally to the Welshness of the valleys. The significance of 2026 is that this distance appears to have narrowed.

Independent Wales sounds absolutely wonderful! I can’t wait for the day we shake off Westminster and stand on our own two feet.

Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.

Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.

Any political project that intends to defeat Reform must have at its core:

1. Redistribution of the wealth in this country via a fairer tax system, inc wealth tax

2. Redistribution of power via a fairer electoral system at the very least.

Is this on offer in Labour contest?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This government has participated in genocide.

Here is a simple test for any would-be successor to Keir Starmer:

Would you establish a full, independent, public inquiry into the government’s complicity in the greatest crime of our time?

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

The @nationalgriduk is raking in huge profits while workers and communities struggle to pay ever-rising bills and manufacturing is made uncompetitive. Our broken energy system needs urgent reform, and that means renationalising the grid.

While our energy infrastructure remains in private hands key decisions about will always be made with the object of generating massive profits for shareholders, rather than to benefit everyday people and generate economic growth.

Bringing the grid back into #PublicOwnership is the only way to stop this rampant #profiteering.

The Plaid Cymru Government’s childcare policy will be the most generous in the UK - helping families with the cost of living, supporting parents back into work, and lifting children out of poverty.

The hard work starts now to create a fairer, more ambitious Wales. ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Despite it being obvious that the time of two-party politics is over, the govt laid out no plans to introduce a fairer voting system in the King's Speech.

That's why Green MPs tabled an amendment on the need to bring in proportional representation and make every voice heard.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

Jeremy Corbyn’s balanced reflection on Andy Burnham gives us two undeniable truths:

‘Private money in health leads to less care & more profit’
‘Private money in defence will lead to more wars & more profit’

Why are these truths so hard for politicians to see?

[PoliticsJOE @PoliticsJOE_UK]

"His economic strategy isn't particularly radical."

Jeremy Corbyn says he has concerns about the possibility of Andy Burnham leading Labour.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide.

I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud.

Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

[ClarenceTheCrossEyedLion @crhealy72]

@piersmorgan It's not his house you (deliberately) obtuse wazzock.
He rents a room, in a house, in an overpriced city, in an unaffordable country.
Of course the house is valuable, but he doesn't benefit from that
And of course he wants a bit of redistribution. We ALL do!!

[Thalassocracy @DingDongDoddy]

@piersmorgan He also travels by chauffeur driven carriage, which is heavily subsidised!!*

Now do Harborne. Tice. Farage. Starmer. Badenoch. All the 2nd house expenses and house-flippers. The private slum landlords, the offshore tax havens, the numerous conflicts of interest, etc..
