Oxfam GB | Chancellor Rachel Reeves: Tax Wealth Now It’s time to tax the super-rich. Demand a Wealth Tax today.

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

I don’t think I’ve posted much on blue sky about my religious beliefs, it recently it feels important to share that I’m a progressive Christian. Red letter or otherwise.

Anti fascist.

GENOCIDE CONFIRMED Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

The UN has confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

Only last week our government were denying this reality and continue to sell arms to Netanyahu's genocidal regime.

They must wake up and act now to end the genocide.

I don't celebrate Kirk's death. But I won't pretend his rhetoric didn't contribute to the climate that killed him. There's another way forward. One built on genuine Christian values. Building communities where everyone's needs are met, where everyone has dignity. That's the Kingdom Christ described.

This is what happens when political movements are built on exclusion and treating citizens as enemies. History keeps showing this pattern. Christian nationalism isn't Christianity. It's nationalism wearing a cross, abandoning everything Christ taught about loving neighbours and welcoming strangers.

Kirk built his career on inflammatory rhetoric and dehumanising his opponents. He advocated for violence whilst wrapping it in patriotic and Christian language. Christ warned that "all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Kirk got exactly what he called for: swift, public violence.

People are calling for prayers over Charlie Kirk's murder. Condemning violence. I agree violence isn't the answer; but let's not pretend someone who called for "quick and public executions" was just an innocent victim.

Screenshot of a headline reading 'Reeves is finally moving in the right direction on tax - but she must go even further', with subheading reading 'It's time to address the injustice at the heart of our society, Green MP Carla Denyer writes for HuffPost UK.'

Rachel Reeves is finally looking in the right place to find the money we need to invest in our public services and make life better for people. But now isn't the time for caution, it's time to be bold and root out the injustice at the heart of this country

This is not the sole-solution. It is something that is being done whilst simultaneously being addressed in different ways by different people. It is part of a bigger picture of changing culture.

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, No Matter How Many Times UK Politicians Say So The UK is having a moment. In late July, new rules took effect that require all online services available in the UK to assess whether they host content considered harmful to children, and if so, these...

The UK’s Online Safety Act is being sold as a way to protect children. But instead, UK politicians are pushing sweeping censorship and forcing platforms to implement invasive age checks. This is not safety–it's surveillance.

So, we’re signing petitions again the online safety act and not using the third-party “AI” verification tools right? Overall a poorly defined and worse implemented law at best, or a terrible authoritarian/draconian way to censor the internet at large (which seems to be spreading to other governments

Looking at new password manager options. I was using Dropbox Password, but that's shutting down. They're recommending 1password but I'm open to alternatives, OR I could just lean into Apple's built-in password manager.

Ground News Top Stories from around you and around the world. Compare how different news publishers frame the same news

ground.news for those interested

It’s not exactly what I pictured—but it does what I needed. It brings clarity, not noise. And I’m genuinely glad it exists.

Ever used Ground News or something similar? How do you keep your media diet balanced?

4/
Ground News shows political bias (far left to far right), blindspot ratings, media ownership, and even a factuality score. It helps you follow topics and see what you might be missing based on your own leanings.

3/
It would show who emphasised what, and why. A kind of live bias map layered over a story. But I was just one person and I never built it.

Then a few years ago, I found ground.news. And someone had built something like it.

2/ I imagined a tool that could synthesise coverage from multiple sources and highlight the differences in tone, focus, and bias. Not just a mash-up – something carefully written, annotated with insights like: “This line is neutral, but others framed it more emotionally.”

1/
About ten years ago, I had an idea. I was watching friends & family share wildly different news on Facebook & Twitter – some outrage-driven, some clearly biased, some outright misinformation. The how of news was getting harder to trust.

An Idea I Had, and the App That Did It About ten years ago, I sketched out an idea to help people see bias in the news more clearly. I never built it—but someone else did, and they did it well. Ground News offers tools for understanding political slant, factuality, and blindspots. It’s thoughtful, and it’s what I needed.

On Monday of this week, Hamas' Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip published an updated list of those killed in the war, a 1,227-page chart, arranged from youngest to oldest. The Arabic-language document includes the deceased person's full name, the names of the father and grandfather, date of birth and ID number. Unlike previous lists, this compilation notes the precise age of children who were under the age of one year when they were killed. Mahmoud al-Maranakh and seven more children died on the same day they were born. Four more children were killed on the day after they entered the world, five others lived to the age of two days. Not until page 11, following 486 names, does the name appear of the first child who was more than six months old when he was killed.

The death toll of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza is now estimated at 100,000

The list is 1,227 pages long.

The first 11 pages are names of babies dead before the age of 6 months.

The first 381 pages are all children.

200,000 March In Budapest Pride, Refusing To Capitulate To Anti-LGBTQ+ Law The march can teach the world the power of organized solidarity in the wake of a global, anti-LGBTQ+ reactionary movement.

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government.

It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering."

He was warned of arrest.

They marched anyway.

Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious.

Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story!
