Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

People load up shopping trolleys with bottled water when tap water is safe to drink. You can easily filter it if you want to. A triumph of marketing over common sense.

I'm old enough to remember
when working for a foreign power
was called treason
and earned long prison sentences

They need to make this illegal.

Or there will be vast profits and no jobs.

Stop the NHS sell-off to parasites
deliberately delivering a worse service

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

So many people who are in favour of
feeding the hungry
housing the homeless
healing the sick
nurturing nature
tackling climate change
and taking back into public ownership
our NHS, council housing, energy, water, mail, transport
are just one step away

It's more than that. At Nuremberg genocide propagandists in media (exactly like what the BBC has done) were held accountable.

DWP change to Universal Credit and PIP 'will plunge 50,000 into poverty by 2030' The Department for Work and Pensions are set to plunge tens of thousands of disabled and chronically-ill claimants into poverty by the end of the decade - 2030

DWP change to Universal Credit and PIP could put 50,000 people into poverty.

1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

The bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.

Tax the rich. Poverty is a political choice.

If you are in the same party as Akehurst be reminded you are known by the company you keep. Right wing Labour are the worst kind of people and left wing Labour are deluded if they think they can persuade them to develop consciences.

Then there is the constant platforming of Farage in particular and Reform. They have the same number of MPs as the Greens and far less than the Lib Dem’s, Ed Davey would have to murder someone to get the same airtime as the pinstripe Moseley.

The media including the BBC are accelerating fascism.

If plumbers are worth Β£90 an hour, and corporate lawyers are billed at Β£1000 an hour, surely resident doctors deserve Β£22? Tell me I'm wrong.

By supporting the expansion of Heathrow Airport and spreading outright lies about decarbonising flying, Labour has again capitulated to lobbyists.
This is its defining characteristic: doing whatever powerful lobbyists ask, regardless of the social, environmental and even political costs.

Resident doctors pay hundreds of thousands of pounds for six years of medical school and then get below-inflation pay rises. Then television presenters on six-figure salaries tell them they're 'greedy'.

It would be much clearer if we could all drop the "gifts" and "donations" nonsense. It is shameless bribery and corruption from an "industry" that produces nothing of any value to society and fosters terrible addiction.

The Cunliffe report proves it: water must be nationalised

Privatisation is ripping YOU off!

On a Β£500 water bill, Β£175 of YOUR money is going straight to banks and shareholders. πŸ€‘

That's £175 not being invested in fixing leaks or stopping sewage pollution. 🀬

Time to end this madness. Public ownership is the only solution. Join us πŸ‘‡

Like Jeremy Hunt before him Wes Streeting is about to learn that healthcare in this country would be much better off without him but it can't function without resident doctors.

Great news: the High Court has granted permission for a full judicial review of the government's order proscribing Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act.
Let's hope he government's idiotic and draconian order is overturned.

It is always "Heads we win -tails you lose" with bankers . If you de-regulate their extreme greed and incompetence leads to disaster and governments use taxpayers money to bail them out. Still Rachel will probably get a few directorships or consultancies later if she does their bidding

Amoral shysters who lie as easily as they breathe (e.g. Labour leadership election) and have a massive sense of their own entitlement. If Gaza isn't an ethical red line then balancing the books on the backs of people on benefits whilst sucking up to the rich won't keep them awake at night.

I can’t so much as buy a tin of beans without thinking about how our ruling classes are currently enabling a colonial war of genocide and mass starvation in Palestine. If our world had any shred of justice these monsters would rot in The Hague.

Plaid /Green/new left wing party. I would happily vote for any these parties but they do need to get their act together and form alliances to stop "Labour" and Reform. Most Tories will probably defect to, or ally with, Reform and if you trust the Lib Dems you have a short memory!
