NHS dentistry is a mess: rising costs and appointments few and far between. We can’t go on like this - the Government must properly fund our dental care. Will you join me and sign the 38 Degrees petition to pile on the pressure? 38d.gs/supf

β€œYou described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

As when you hear any MP say
β€˜Deregulate to boost the economy’
What they mean is
β€˜deregulate workers rights so we can exploit them to fck and make as much for us as possible and let them suffer. There are more in line’
Learn the language of fascism it will open your eyes to the world.

Robert Jenrick is saying racist things because he wants racists to vote for him. It's as simple as that. Whether he's actually, deep down in whatever soul may have, a racist is irrelevant, frankly.

How come when it’s Muslims being attacked it’s a hate crime but when Jews are attacked it’s terrorism ? I am 100% against both but baffled by this government and media’s headlines

Please ask Starmer government to qualify this as that it is: far right terrorism.

Not β€œhate crime incident”, but TERRORISM.

I am horrified by the images of a mosque in Peacehaven burning after a suspected arson attack.

Everyone should be able to worship free from fear and terror.

Islamophobia is totally unacceptable. Those who spread hatred and incite violence against Muslim communities must stop.

πŸ‘ Strong statement from @libdems.org.uk MP
Danny Chambers, condemning both the horrific Oct 7 attacks and Israel’s genocidal response.

While calling for the release of Israeli hostages, we must not forget the thousands of Palestinians unlawfully detained by Israel, amid reports of torture.

This journalist is literally inviting Jenrick to share his views, while being accused of shutting down the debate! Astonishing.

So it comes down to us. Or Nigel Farage.

Liberal Democrat change – true to British values. Transforming our economy, our public services and our politics. The real change people crave.

Or Farage’s change. Change away from the country we love. Change towards Trump’s America.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future
