Well unless that dirty money is:

Fossil fuel related.
Billionaire bribes.
American tech firms.
American healthcare firms.
From Netanyahu’s allies.
Some guy Peter Mandelson recommended.

Then Labour will definitely create a haven for that money.

You may disagree.

You’d be clueless and wrong on that.

But you’re entitled to be so.

Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government."

The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

“nation of strangers”.
“Incalculable damage”.

Starmer is just as much of a toxic bigot as Johnson; and only clueless racist scum are making excuses for him now.

If @ec.europa.eu hadn’t expected this then they were fools.

Just shut it down in the EU.

Tell Meta that if they try anything they’ll be banned too.

Hopefully a coalition with @greenparty.org.uk & @libdems.org.uk would negate the need for any deal with Welsh Labour.

Why have so many corporations lined up to donate to Trump’s ballroom project?

Because in Trump's White House, everything is for sale — even the building itself. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

The problem facing @rhunapiorwerth.bsky.social & @plaidcymru.bsky.social is that Welsh Labour would have to break with Starmer’s current position on Cymru to form any kind of alliance.

Rhun ap Iorwerth has ruled out entering any post-election deals with the Conservatives or Reform UK, insisting his party will instead lead efforts to build a ‘progressive alliance’ to keep the far right out of government after next May’s Senedd election. wp.me/p8Mk4U-1afi

Not speaking to Green party policies per se, but legalising drugs is not a bad idea and anyone arguing it means "selling them outside schools" is plainly disingenuous. Prohibition doesn't work. Regulating, and taxing, them like cigs and alcohol means better safeguards, and more money for treatment.

It is; because of localised corporate monopolies.

It was with the aim of forestalling a further revival of Chartism that the first Christian Socialist group was formed.

Important question.

Is that bandwagon going off a cliff?

That determines who should be on it.

I wish @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app made it that nobody could have a default profile picture.

Someone has to choose, and load, an image before they can post.

Or give us the option to block/mute people who use the default picture.

Exclusion by Design: Digital Identification and the Hostile Environment for Migrants The debate over digital ID systems has recently intensified in the UK, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer framing digital IDs as a mechanism to curb ‘illegal working’.

NEW REPORT: Digital immigration status is causing deep anxiety.

Migrants are reliant on a faulty system to prove their right to live and work in the UK.

A fear of making mistakes and dealing with errors costs them greatly in their daily lives.

A reminder that anyone who believes NATO is relevant for Europe’s defence is an idiot.

Especially the clueless pillocks who still support Trump’s pet PM Starmer.

I’m really looking forward to them coming knocking on our door for the Senedd vote next year.

Know a few of them personally and it’s going to be fun to watch them squirm.
