"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Look, the collective UK cock is too deep in the apple pie. If we pull out now we might look stupid.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson....you boys took a HELL of a beating tonight.
@greenpartyhan.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social This is just the beginning.
Reform is just the Tory party βreformedβ to be even more extreme and less responsive to the public good.
First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill wonβt even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
If the royal family is such a boon for the nation's coffers, imagine how great it would be for the economy if everybody else got given a few palaces and didn't have to work or pay normal tax.

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...
An infographic with stats about the super rich. The title reads "Where's the money?". The facts include: Since 1990, UK billionaire wealth has increased by 1160%. Β£457 billion of profit has been made by energy companies since the start of the crisis. In 2024 world billionaire wealth grew $2 trillion. It's surely time to tax the rich.
How is it possible that the wealth of the super-rich has exploded, but we're facing billions in austerity cuts? How have banks, energy companies, and oil and gas made record profits while foodbank use has reached 3.1 million? We need to tax the rich.
Liz Kendall says young people will be pushed to join the army to cut youth unemployment. Then when they get injured or wounded Kendall will deny them sickness and disability benefits.

In case youβre not sure why the NHS isnβt working any more, itβs because the service is being slowly dismantled by politicians who are turning it into a cash cow for private companies, starving it of resource so it doesnβt work properly, and enabling the private sector to expand rapidly π¨

If βsocialism never worksβ then why does the USA and the capitalists spend billions to stop Marxism, and assassinate leaders, install puppet dictarships for the rich and then spend more billions every decade to push capitalist propaganda to say βsocialism doesnβt workβ?
Why not just let it fail?
