🚨 BREAKING: Tesla shareholders just voted to make Elon Musk the world's first TRILLIONAIRE.

Only the world’s biggest loser would would have the ability to end world hunger several times over and choose not to.

Just tax billionaires. Duh.

It drives me mad seeing adverts pretending to be news programmes full of racists & Reform politicians, it doesn't reflect our society, it portends the society they want to force upon us.

A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.

Notice how it’s always, β€œthe Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

I agree, Stop The Boats

Bloody oligarchs coming over 'ere on their mega yachts, stealing our public assets, influencing our government, exploiting our work force, dumping their waste into our rivers & expecting the tax payer to foot the bill for their billion pound government contracts & bail outs

Feeding grain and soy to animals on intensive farms is inefficient. Feeding 100 calories of grain to farmed animals results in just 3-25 calories of meat. A huge number of calories are lost in the process.

DID YOU KNOW: For every 100 calories of grain fed to animals, only 3-25 calories of meat are produced.

We could feed another 2 billion people by choosing #FoodNotFeed. 🍲

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Nathan Gill will be sentenced on 21st November for 8 charges of taking Russian Bribes.

It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia.

Investigation now!

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

"The wallpaper was busier maybe, the world was browner, but essentially it was the same world, where telephones were answered with a string of digits and time flowed begrudgingly forwards like gravy."

After the horrific attacks in Manchester we must defend the right to protest I hope pro-Palestine marchers this weekend will be acutely sensitive to the real fear in Jewish communities. But don’t let the bad guys win by denying...

It’s not β€œun-British” to march today. But it is British to protest with sensitivity and empathy. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/fre...

A depressing but vital read. HOPE not hate play a vital role in surfacing the activity of groups like these. I sincerely wish that our government was focused on stamping out hate-mongers like these than going after people with spray paint cans!

Teenage Reform councillor elected permanent leader of Warwickshire County Council following knife-edge vote A teenage Reform UK councillor who was temporarily put in charge of public services has been elected permanent leader of Warwickshire County Council.

Nigel Farage says 16 & 17 year olds shouldn’t be allowed to vote in England, yet he’s ok with an 18 yr old being in charge of a Β£616 million council budget or a 19 year old (in uni) in charge of family & children’s services

Why? Because they support him but the vast majority of young people don’t

The four largest parties in the Commons are Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and the SNP. Even Sinn Fein and the DUP have more members than Reform. There are also 21 Independents. No reason to keep on inviting Farage onto BBC politics programmes.
