Why mandatory digital ID cards - a policy no one voted for - are an attack on civil liberties, won’t tackle irregular employment and will only play into Reform’s hands: 👇🏽

🔥🔥 "F*ck, the oil depot is on fire!" – Good unknown drone struck the Afipsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar Krai.

It has been attacked by drones multiple times. The oil processing capacity is 6.25 million tons per year.

A cross-party group of 96 MPs have urged the government to bring sick and injured children from Gaza to the UK for treatment "without delay"

We need to make people believe that not only those at the top of the tree can thrive.

We can do that by bringing people together behind the causes we champion.

Causes that make working peoples lives better; like a 4-day working week, better paternity pay and free public transport.

Environment secretary ‘furious’ about England and Wales water bills Steve Reed says he is unable to rule out further above-inflation rises and any decision would be up to regulators

It's performative. If Steve Reed were really "furious" about water bills, he wouldn't have ruled out renationalisation, or forbidden the Independent Water Commission to recommend it. He enables the filthiest, most parasitic capital to defeat the public interest.

The murder and stabbing of Dr Fortune Gomo which took place on Saturday, which was potentially racially and politically fuelled was abhorrent. She was a valued environmentalist and scientist, who was working towards environmental solutions, and only 39. May she rest in peace.

Twenty years ago, London suffered the most horrific terrorist attacks.

Today, we remember the 52 people who tragically died on that day and honour the emergency service workers who fought tirelessly to save lives.

A bill creating a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine has been signed into law.

Starting next year, farmworkers' minimum rate will rise to $14.65 an hour.

Currently, their minimum wage is only $7.25/hr.

Pretty certain it would be closer to £250bn to build a 163 mile 24 carat gold railway.

Socialists spent the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s arguing against council house sales, privatisation, PFI, austerity and Brexit would damage Britain. Socialists were right on every point.

Yvette Cooper repeatedly refused to give a straight answer just now on Today to straight Q “Will councils get more money to pay care workers more?” She repeatedly committed to higher carer pay but wouldn’t commit to money so councils can fund it. Think that speaks volumes about the mess we are in.

If Labour wants to reverse its dismal polling, it should reinstate winter fuel allowance. Not ramp up the immigrant bashing.

Well done Labour

Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.

Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.

People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.

You’ve managed to turn off everyone.

Quite the achievement!

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

How can we tax billionaires in a way that they can't dodge?

It's actually really simple, force all businesses operating in the UK to operate through a UK based PLC, then tax all their profits at a 45% rate.

£3.4tn of money which can't avoid being taxe

Just ran straight from the Bernie / AOC rally (actually had to miss some of Bernie!) to my 18 month oncology check up annnnnd STILL CANCER FREE!!

Millions of universal credit and benefit claimants turn to food banks The government is planning to make cuts to welfare – but universal credit and disability claimants are already struggling.

More than three quarters of people claiming universal credit and disability benefits have gone without essentials such as food and heating in the last six months

UK governments are failing to curb corporate tax abuses and leaving people to pay the price Governments remain obsessed with austerity and choose not to inconvenience the rich or curb tax abuses by corporations.

UK govts failing to curb corporate tax abuses.

People forced to pay more for a crumbling infrastructure, and losing hard-won social rights.

The Criminal Finances Act 2017 gave govt powers to prosecute companies for tax evasion.

There have been no prosecutions.

Need people centred govts.

Well. Political chaos doesn't stop for while I have University Tests does it 🤣. Jeez-o, busy two weeks; both uni wise and political wise. Not quite as bad as Liz Truss era, but still. Starmer trying to decrease disabled benefits and do austerity. Madness

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 32 MILLION! 👏

LETS DO THIS!

TIL: Tunnocks Teacakes go off. The Marshmallow changed texture.

Google Meet teleprompter auto-generate conversation about sports

To whom are you beholden?

haha goof

Technology is amazing! I just used my phone and an app to turn on the heating while lying in bed.

Your tax return is returned 1 day late, £100 fine.

You take £1.47m that your father raised to give to charity, to give it to yourself.

Nothing.
