Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School.

If you are Working Class and you vote for Reform, you are a traitor, to yourself.

Or as we call them, a bloody fool.

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.

Royal Mail takeover by Czech billionaire approved The £3.6bn deal by Daniel Kretinsky is given the go-ahead after agreeing

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership.

It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead.

We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands.

‘Entire days without food’: Fighting hunger in Gaza Six Palestinians describe how they try to feed their families amid severe food shortages.

Meanwhile, starvation triumphs in Gaza. Children not killed by their bombs, many of them maimed and wounded, go to bed with empty stomachs and without water to drink or wash their faces. Genocide by intentional starvation is the order of each day www.aljazeera.com/features/lon...

Starmer thanks RAF base secretly participating in Gaza genocide for keeping 'our allies safe' Sky News showed Starmer at "an RAF base in Cyprus”. What it failed to mention is that this wasn't just any old airbase. It's RAF Akrotiri.

Israel is invading Syria.

While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus.

This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

Good luck Sphinx!

MoD announces new defence industrial strategy

Far from strengthening the British economy, tying growth to war, militarism and nuclear weapons will only drive instability and make the world far more dangerous. We need investment in planned jobs diversification away from militarism into green jobs instead!

Tweet from David Lammy: Together 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 have written to the Israeli government to urge action on the unacceptable humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel must implement @UN's winter plan now: send equipment to guard against cold & flooding, give access to fuel, repair vital infrastructure, and get aid in.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.

No one wants to mention this but UK government support of Israel and allowing Ukraine to use missiles in Russian territory do not make me feel safer.

Great result!

Care in the community was a progressive idea which has been used in many cases as a thin veneer to cut costs of care.
Palliative care in hospices is funded mainly by charitable donations rather than through NHS.
Assisted dying will do nothing to improve this and could increasingly become expected.
