“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK.

Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer.

Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

Happy Birthday

Without the ECHR justice might never have been served for Hillsborough Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered

"If you celebrated justice for Hillsborough, you have to support the European Convention on Human Rights

Without article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights the gross negligence behind the deaths at Hillsborough would never have been uncovered"

Never surrender, never give up. We need you. Not American but girding my loins for the fight in the UK.

Surviving Gaza: a personal account of life under siege "Gaza is not just a news headline. It is my home. It is full of people who want to live -not just survive, but live in dignity, in safety, in freedom."

"The internet barely works. Electricity is a luxury. Food is a miracle."

Pls do read & share. First hand accounts from Gaza are vital. 👇

A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400. Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400.

Insurance did not cover the cost of vaccinations.

Profits came before people.

Yet this is the system that Farage/Reform, neoliberals want in the UK

Defend the NHS, or risk bankruptcy and poor health.

Disability Labour - the Labour Party’s official disabled person’s affiliate organisation - has issued a statement that the government’s concessions are insufficient and is calling on all MPs to vote against the benefits Bill on Tuesday

They gave Trump a chance and look how that’s turned out.

Labour's disability benefit cuts set to be a 'disaster on all fronts' Disability benefits cuts will harm hundreds of thousands of people and cost some individuals almost £900 a month, MPs have warned.

My nephew has just had 10 injections to resolve his pain. He survived this but jury out on whether it will work.

Starmer denigrates Covid heroes

"These are just 33 of the doctors who died trying to save patients during Covid, Keir Starmer.
All but two were migrants, or the children of them.
They didn’t take time off work & stay out of danger.
They gave their lives for us.
WERE THEY STRANGERS?"
via Louise Raw

Agree wholeheartedly.

I love Canada. Wish I could have discovered it early enough to move there. Traveled on the Rockie Mountaineer. Really beautiful

Immigration white paper: Who cares? Another day, another overhaul of the immigration rules (sigh).

Pandering to Reform over care workers is grubby and cheap.

Care homes are reliant on overseas staff. Without them, many will need to close their doors, leaving families and communities to suffer the consequences.

Brexiter Steve ‘hard man’ Baker says Labour’s trade deal with India is great news, “furthering free trade in the national interest outside the EU”
But Steve doesn’t say that a customs union deal *with* the EU would be 20 times bigger. Or, of course, what Tory EU-phobia has already cost us.

We are serious about building a movement of people to hold politicians to account about what they’re doing to the NHS (turning it into a cash cow for private companies), but I need to reach more people.

If you’re worried about the NHS could you possibly follow me+share this? 💥💙🥰🌟

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.

Reform are NOT for ordinary people.

They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a week Over five-year period Oksana Shahar – who cares for her son – was paid a small amount more than carer’s allowance earnings limits allow

Mother of autistic boy left with £10,000 debt after breaching DWP rules by £1.92 a week.

The "cliff-edge” approach has inflicted cruelty on over 100,000 carers. Rules must change.

Govts need to divert focus to tax dodgers, corporate crooks, the City.

Do you say no to racist Reform UK?

Good luck Canada

Wales and north of England face disability cuts ‘double whammy’ Policy in Practice analysis shows twice as many people affected in north-east, north-west and Wales than in London and south-east

People in North of England and Wales would be the hardest hit by disability benefit cuts.

They will suffer three times the economic impact and with twice as many affected residents as London and the south-east.

Deprived areas have more people with disabilities.

No impact assessment from govt.

I certainly won’t be voting Labour. Feel betrayed

No and I have met a few.

Why are we not talking about the most popular party leader? Attention to Reform UK is distracting attention from the quiet rise of the Liberal Democrats. They may do well in our region

Everyone’s watching Reform UK, but the real story is Ed Davey, the most popular party leader in England.

The Liberal Democrats are on the rise, it's just that the pollsters forgot to mention it | Stephen McNair

He helped burn it to the ground.
