Have you noticed that your salary buys less than it used to?

Have you noticed that it is affecting middle-class, professionals as well as the working class?

Have you noticed that a few people, a tiny group, are richer than anyone has ever been?

Co-incidence?

How would you reduce inequality?

🎶
I sit and wait
Does an angel need a diamond blade?
And do they know,
It needs a transformer cos its 110 volt?
Cos I have been told, that carborundum makes their wings unfold.
So when i'm cutting out the bed
Dust flying round my head
And I see a splash of red
I'm grinding angels instead

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

I'm scared Bernie, where are your colleagues. I see you and AOC, but where are the others? The Democrats need to organise

What scares me AOC, where are your colleagues? Where is the resistance. I see you and Bernie, and... that's it!

Dear Canadians. I hope you know that we in the UK are in this with you. We hate what is happening to you. Your security is our security. This is a fight for the world order, and one we must win.

People across the world should be flying Ukrainian flags where the politicians can see them

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

Europe needs to push their military satellite technology.

It can't rely on the US any more

Europe needs to keep developing its own military aircraft, like the Eurofighter. It can't rely on the US any more

Europe needs to start developing its own anti-aircraft systems, its own hitech munitions, its own long range artillery. It can no longer trust the US

Starmer announces big cut to UK aid budget to boost defence spending PM confirms rise in military spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 – three years earlier than planned

What choice did he have?

Tax the rich or starve the poor

@brianmoore666.bsky.social you are a man of the arts. How do you score it?

There should be a Six Nations table for singing national anthems. I'm starting with Wales at the top and England at the bottom, but how would you place the others?

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?

Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.

Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him.

Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him.

Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him.

Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

I choose Zelenskyy over Trump, Musk and Putin.

That is my vote

Prayer and prosecutions: the US ‘hate group’ waging war over Britain’s abortion clinic buffer zones Anti-abortion campaigners cheer as JD Vance brands safe zones an attack on ‘liberties of religious Britons’

Worth noting also: the Christian Right ADF, which is pursuing anti abortion legal cases in the UK with funding from the US, is also a charity meaning its activities are subsidised by your taxes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

One way to resist is through solidarity with other people. The government could put 100 people in a camp. Much harder to do with 1m people

Join a union

And they are going to quietly let that happen?

Is he going to force people to work?

Join a union. Take action together

If you are a government worker join your union now. This won't be the only purge
