Oooh royal bollards 🤭

Yes, sitting back & profiting off the demise of democracy is a massive issue

No it’s not but we demonise women for telling off kids in public & idolise men who do the bare minimum as fathers. It should be normal for men to be in tears at child abuse, they are brothers, they are fathers, they are human.

The UK media is refusing to report on the decrease in immigration. The right’s racist talking points are being amplified with no push back with actual facts. It’s almost as if they want the UK to follow the US into its authoritarian oligarchy.

I think the word you’re looking for is ‘children’. No such thing as underage women.

The kids are alright 👍🏼

It’s not feminine, it’s human, it’s how we should all be feeling. It’s also terrifying that MAGA does not have this empathy for children.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

Russell Tovey makes an important point. No other party speaks up clearly for the LGBTQ+ community like Zack Polanski and the Green Party. Labour have been a huge disappointment and cannot be trusted to protect our rights

🤭

I think we’re both in for a long wait.

This is sinister. The links btwn Reform’s policies & the US’s extraordinarily misogynistic Proj 2025 are clear. They’re spewing the same hateful rhetoric to deny women choice, body autonomy & independence. Gorton& Denton deserve someone who’ll work for all residents- one of their own Hannah Spencer.

Yes. I’m not convinced regulation works in this case. Can we actually send people to prison? Fines are just adding to their debt. Water is too important to leave it to the whims of greedy shareholders. I think it is probably one of the very few industries we, as tax payers, have to take the hit on.

I agree with you, there is no easy way out. But water is too precious a commodity. At some point you have to stop them polluting our waterways & stealing money from us to give bonuses for failure.Not going to deny it’s a hugely long term plan to realise any profits. It made profit under gov before.

Yes & those companies are still paying their employees bonuses as they sink deeper & deeper into debt.

£1 to take on the debt. Yes, particularly Thatcher has a lot to answer for.

It absolutely should be back in public ownership. Clean water is a human right. Privatisation has proved such a commodity should not be for profit. The water co’s have stolen consumer money to pay dividends for mismanagement & polluting our rivers & seas without doing any long term upgrades. Thieves

🎯 A must watch. Excellent explanation with actual facts.

Tax evading billionaires are the problem.

NHS waiting list at lowest level in three years Backlog drops below 7.3m for first time since 2023 in England, but concern over long A&E waits.

The hospital waiting list in England has dropped to its lowest level in nearly three years.

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people.

Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.

This is election interference by a foreign power. We need to close the loopholes of foreign donations & lobbying.

I get why Matt posts this nonsense every day, outrage pays.
None of this is on the current government.
Open borders? Brexit.
Soft-on-crime chaos? Tories.
Highest taxes since the 1940s? Tories.
Shafted pensioners? Tories.
Farmers driven to despair? Brexit.
Hotels for migrants? Brexit + Tory failure.

When 🍊💩 is relieved of his ‘duty’ & the transition of power is happening,border officers must stop people like Bondi, Kash, Kennedy, the Trump family, Bannon, Miller etc. from leaving the US. They must be held accountable -you know they’re going to make a run for a country with no extradition treaty

Yes absolutely. These guys create a demon (immigrants) so people will support policies that only benefit the ultra rich & corporations. They get richer while ordinary people get poorer, lose svcs & blame workers who pay more into our tax system than millionaires do.

The mood in Gorton and Denton is clear - Labour have blown it.
Only the Greens can stop Reform.

Reform are ducking debates because their policies don’t add up. Their mgmt of councils is failing. They’re blaming immigrants for everything & sowing division as distraction from their support of corps & the ultra rich. Vote Hannah, a local who has skin in the game. Not the rich boy parachuted in.

@bylines.scot & @theguardian.com sends a warning re the narrative from most of the UK media at the moment. Our NHS, hospitality, transport & food production will collapse without immigrant workers. Reform &Tories are peddling lies to distract from billionaires decimating our svcs. We are not America

Unlike Trump, Farage does not have executive power. He cannot wield the same bully pulpit. Instead, he becomes the junior partner to voters' clearest symbol of instability and is left stranded. Farage cannot defend the indefensible, but nor can he convincingly break with a figure he has spent years praising. Nigel Farage's friendship with US president Donald Trump could cost him dearly (PA Media)

“The more Trump dominates the global agenda, the better Europe looks and the harder it becomes for Farage to argue that his brand of politics would make Britain safer, richer or more secure”

Well yes. The longest - FFS, wake up! - call to British voters ever…

Omg pot & kettle. Kemi saying Keir & Labour Party don’t take responsibility for terrible mistakes?! I’d like to point her in the direction of the previous 14 yrs of conservative rule that nearly broke our country.

She has the same confidence & lack of self awareness as 🍊💩over the pond.
