“Jewish people in that Manchester synagogue are not responsible for Israeli foreign policy - likewise Muslims going to a mosque are not responsible for what some crazy jihadist might do."
"I 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 we could separate the two things.”
Angela Rayner has resigned but Nigel Farage who uses Tax Havens to pay almost no tax hasn't.
Time for Farage to go too.
'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.
The cursed one
An passion project I made in blender.
I hope you enjoy it
Johnson put a border in the Irish Sea, sold out the fishing industry, all SMEs trading with the EU, our farmers, universities, musicians, young people, scientists, all of us…
And now he sits in the mess he made throwing insults at those who are clearing up after him.
What a monumental piece of shit.
"Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?”"
the President of the United States, everyone
No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029.
Or about Gaza.
Or poverty.
Or inequality.
Or international aid.
Or corporate power.
Or democratic reform.
Or racism.
Or trans rights.
So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote.
What are they playing at?
It’s plain for all to see.
It was always performative outrage.
Sir, With Reform's victory in the Runcorn & Helsby by-election, a process that threatens to result in autocracy has begun. History tells us that all autocracies begin with populist movements making undeliverable promises. When it is clear that the promises haven't materialised, blame is applied to everyone other than the populist. First the forces against populism are blamed, then the media and eventually the judiciary. We are seeing this in an accelerated form in the United States and will shortly be seeing it in the UK. The pattern never varies, from 1930s Germany to modern-day Russia. It starts with one voter wishing for a painless means to achieve the unachievable, instead of accepting that difficult decisions are painful. Voters who supported Reform will be the ones most likely to suffer. Dr WJ Cunliffe
Sir, Nigel Farage has attributed his party's success in Thursday's local and parliamentary elections to worsening illegal immigration. This from the man who repeatedly assured the electorate that Brexit would result in our being able to take back control of our borders. As always, Farage appears to have the answer to everything but the solution to nothing. James Burton Stewart Hook, Hants
Farage and Reform whip up people’s prejudices, then offer to get rid of what they hate.Their power feeds off ignorance and hatred. They make people angrier about the stuff they fear, then promise to fix it. Of course they won’t. But they know who to tell you to blame when they fail.
(Letters, Times)
Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.
Whatever the final results today, one thing is certain: if we’re serious about restoring trust in politics, we have to start by replacing our archaic voting system with a fairer alternative
There are clear lessons so far - we need a fairer voting system & Labour needs a reset. Trying to out-Reform Reform doesn’t work. Instead of lurching to the right, government urgently needs to rethink its approach. It could start by addressing the genuine concerns of working people by taxing wealth
Hotels in Gaza….bribe Ukraine for minerals to potentially help make manufacturing sh|t affordable in US while disenfranchising the rest of the planet….Not ending any wars without callous abandon and calling for utter appeasement….going well isn’t it 😔
While everything else becomes unaffordable, expect to see an attempt for cheaper Tesla phones/laptops/AI etc to corner the market/dependence/influence 😔 www.port.ac.uk/news-events-...
The future history of now will include something along the lines of "social media put billions of people worldwide in the same room together for the first time in history and it drove them absolutely insane"
Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK
⚖️ The scales aren’t balanced.
The govt is cutting support for disabled people while refusing to tax extreme wealth. After 15 years of austerity, it's time to rebalance our economy—for good.
Tax wealth fairly. Invest in people. Protect our future.
Green MPs Sian Berry, Adrian Ramsay, Carla Denyer and Ellie Chowns stand behind a giant set of scales. On one side is a heavy bag labelled 'wealth tax' and on the other side is a light bag labelled 'welfare cuts.' Behind the MPs is a crowd of Green Party supporters holding placards saying 'Real Hope, Real Change' and 'Rebalance the Economy'.
Today I took a message to Rachel Reeves at the Treasury: it's time to rebalance the economy.
A #WealthTax on multi-millionaires and billionaires would raise £24billion - nearly 5 times as much as the government is trying to save by taking support away from disabled people.

💚 People across England and Wales are crying out for a positive alternative to the two old parties and that's exactly what the Green Party is offering.

Reeves will argue the UK has to "move quickly in a changing world"… by cutting benefits rather than taxing the wealthy or stopping Brexit from stifling prosperity.
Making the vulnerable pay for grim govt choices.
More austerity to fund ‘sovereignty’.
What an ugly farce.
