Why don’t we just tax the super-rich and use that money to fix wealth inequality AND the climate crisis?

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action.

The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

And he gave an EXCELLENT speech!

MPs moved to tears in assisted dying debate before landmark vote MPs recount personal experiences in lead-up to decision on whether to give some terminally ill people right to die

Definitely better than camouflaging and working in the shadows (which you don’t)

REPOST if you’re also gonna be boycotting ‘I’m a Celeb’

There’s no place for abusing animals in the name of ‘entertainment’

Trouble is, I keep seeing houses pop up that are not really “affordable” to many starting out. If only it were council houses being built, but I fear that many new builds get bought up and stuck on the rental market.

The Labour Party has labelled the badger cull as 'ineffective,' yet they still permit existing cull licences to continue.

Repost if you agree this is unacceptable!
