NEVER FORGET
On January 6,
2021, six men dragged this officer down the Capitol steps.
He heard one scream, "I got one!" before the others ripped off his badge, stripped him of his radio, and seized his ammunition that was secured to my body.
They beat him with their fists and what felt like hard metal objects.
He heard chanting from some in the crowd - "Get his gun!" and "Kill him with his own gun!"
This officer suffered a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury.
Trump pardoned those six men.
Tory MP Heather Wheeler everyone 🥴
She earns £82,000 + a year from the tax payer for doing very little
Then has the nerve to say teaching should be a vocation and £27k salaries isn’t small beans
This is how the tories belittle our teachers

🚨 Ratcliffe’s constant running down of Britain is actually a promotion of a political project.
A class of mobile billionaires wants to transform Britain into a vast offshore platform: low taxes on wealth, weakened regulation, diminished public services, cheapened labour and national assets permanently open to global capital.
They want a strong state to protect private property, enforce contracts and subsidise business, but a weak one when citizens need healthcare, housing, benefits or security.
In effect, they want Britain run as a tax haven.
The billionaires can move their money, factories and tax residence across borders. Everyone who cannot move is left financing the country they hollowed out.
They get the tax haven and we get serfdom.
Jim Ratcliffe has lost confidence in the world’s 3rd largest innovation economy with two fifths of Europes high growth young companies. Ignorant and ill-informed this tax exile deserves no air time https://t.co/RJ3Phc1CpP
NEW: 69% of Brits now see Nigel Farage unfavourably, the highest recorded by @YouGov tracker to date - with just a quarter having a favourable opinion.
This leaves him with a net favourability rating of -45 - identical to Keir Starmer’s just before his resignation, and down from -31 this time last year.
From The Economist: ‘Europe faces no Islamic takeover, no mass radicalisation of Muslims and no erasure of its culture…. [I]t does not have ‘no-go’ zones, sharia is not creeping into law and nowhere is a demographic ‘great displacement’ under way.’
Since it's inception the RNLI have lost a minimum of 438 crew attempting to saving lives at sea. More depending on how you define that.
Every single time a volunteer answers that call they show more courage than any of the armchair warriors shouting at their keyboards.
The facts behind our work in the Channel.
In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings – that's just 1.2% of our total launches.
Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.
Look at the Reform conference. Barely a young person in sight. Just an army of furious pensioners trying to steal our future and drag Britain back to an imaginary past.
They voted for austerity, then screamed when it made them poorer. They voted for Brexit, then screamed when immigration rose. They’ve fucked the country repeatedly and still refuse to take a shred of responsibility.
Enough. The next generation must unite, vote tactically and kick these backward-looking bastards into electoral oblivion.
