FUN FACT: The top 50 richest families in the UK now hold more wealth than the poorest HALF of the population.

Keir Starmer should stop targeting immigrants and introduce a wealth tax on the 1%.

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

Dan another lesson for Starmer: you don’t beat the far right by wearing their clothes, you beat it by showing how bad they are and how different you are.

Layla Moran urges more action on Israel and warns of ‘cruel destitution’ in Gaza Lib Dem MP says UK’s recent tone is tougher but ‘in terms of concrete actions, not much has changed’

I believe LibDems should give Layla every support for more action and echo her warnings.

I’m sure the Sunday morning politics shows will be all over this..

Well done!

Big Tech is owned by the richest oligarchs in the world, they are a pestilence on democracies.
Starmer's changed Labour Party is cosying up to despots, that's how desperate and capital-hungry the UK has become.

What an absolute charlatan Starmer is. Friend of the rich enemy of the poor.

Extremists would not need to create an authoritarian state in Britain: Starmer is doing that for them | George Monbiot The PM and his ministers are supporting illiberal laws that hard-right authoritarians could apply with zeal, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The UK's anti-protest laws pre-legitimise far right authoritarianism. Labour must repeal them now.

Labour hasn’t delivered growth or happiness. It needs an economic reset. Successive governments have tailored economic and tax policies to impoverish the masses

This fact packed analysis of our economy by Prem Sikka cuts through the narrow political debate that’s taking place at the moment & provides a truly informative argument for resetting the government’s approach. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...

The man who sold the world!!!

The Centre for Health and the Public Interest says Wes Streeting was talking “utter nonsense” about the private sector providing extra capacity because almost all the doctors it uses to perform operations are NHS staff.

Happy birthday & best wishes in retirement to the legend that is Mick Lynch!

As @rmtunion.bsky.social General Secretary, he’s been bold, principled & inspiring — a true champion for his members & the working class.

Mick’s leadership strengthened the union movement & he’ll be sorely missed.

When billionaires go rogue, it's time to organise | Good Law Project Elon Musk has declared war on Labour. Collective action is the only response, says Grace Blakeley.

"Culture war politics provides a kind of Trojan horse for billionaires like Musk, ensuring the election of rightwing governments that can sneak in inequality-enhancing economic policies through the back door."

Me for @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlawproject.org/when-billion...

To stop Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, we need to see widespread sanctions and an end to all arms exports.

The Government has imposed widespread sanctions on Russia for its war crimes. In Parliament I called on it to do the same for Israel's war crimes.

The first Bee Network service pulls out of a snowy Altrincham Interchange early this morning.

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. 🙌🏻

We’re sliding into the year of the snake with big plans for better regulation to protect these animals. Happy New Year to our supporters, fellow campaigners and animal lovers!

Maga v Musk: Trump camp divided in bitter fight over immigration policy Feud flared up when president-elect chose Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-born entrepreneur, as his AI adviser

Just like Brexit, the inherent contradictions of MAGA shine on through.

Whether Reform UK, MAGA or any extreme party of capital, anti immigrant sentiment will be ditched if profitability threatened.

No. Please don't pull Farage away from his vital constituency work.

A scorpion asks a fox for a ride across the river. The fox hesitates, fearing the sting. The scorpion promises not to. Midway, it stings the fox, dooming them both. “Why?” asks the fox. The scorpion replies, “It’s my nature.”

The only solution, is public ownership.

As families gather for Christmas, families in Gaza have no refuge from Israel’s genocide.

Over the past few weeks, HRW, Amnesty & ECCHR have documented war crimes, ethnic cleansing & genocide — yet the UK government continues to sell arms, enabling this horror.

We won’t forget.

Nationalise water now.

Anger greets UK government decision not to compensate ‘Waspi women’ Minister says flat-rate compensation scheme for women affected by rising state pension age would have cost taxpayer £10.5bn,

1/3 For many years, I’ve backed the ‘Waspi women’ and their calls for pension justice. So I’m deeply disappointed at the UK government’s decision not to compensate almost four million women hit by the rising state pension age.
