I have two @bsky.app accounts. For some time I've been neglecting this one. However, the other one, which deals with plenty of non-political stuff, has taken up all my time, including my focus on politics. If anyone is interested, here's my other account: bsky.app/profile/did:... #UniteTheSocialists

I hope so and I think you’re right-such a great fighter is unlikely to just quit. We need him!

Think we're on the same page here. Having said that, I'm counting on him not actually retiring, just shifting from being a trade union leader to being a candidate for a new political party, and, in the interim, giving voice to all its members this side of his being elected an MP. #UniteTheSocialists

THE FALL  new puritan (Peel Session) 1980
YouTube video by SeagreenSerenade THE FALL new puritan (Peel Session) 1980

I think this recording of The Fall in some ways defines what the band was about. Certainly in my time with the band. Maybe beyond. Wild. Uncontrolled. Thrilling. Every member locked in. @stephenhanley6.bsky.social @hanleypa.bsky.social Craig Scanlon Mark E Smith… m.youtube.com/watch?v=KfYw...

The death toll in Gaza has already been updated to 61,709.

The true scale of Israel's atrocities is only just emerging - and officials must face justice for every single life lost.

So should those who continued to send weapons, knowing full well they were enabling genocide.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

UK Still Taxes the Poorest More Than the Richest - Equality Trust New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.

UK's regressive tax system.
Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%.

Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%.

Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%.

No govt plans to end inequity.

They killed his family members, burned down his hospital, murdered patients.

Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh in his last photo prior to abduction confronting the tanks of the enemy.

Have you ever seen courage like this?

Have you ever seen cowardice and cruelty like that of the enemy?

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

Chag Sameach to everyone celebrating Hanukkah!

Hanukkah marks the triumph of resilience over oppression and the fight for freedom β€” while reminding us to reflect on power and end cycles of violence.

May the light of the menorah inspire liberation, justice and peace for all πŸ•Žβœ¨

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza?

Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen.

This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.

And I was asking for clarification because it raises many questions. What you said is far too simplistic.

He bought Twitter and turned it into a cesspool.

He's one of most dangerous amplifiers of disinformation on the planet.

He bought the Presidency.

He attacks anyone who disagrees with him with bots, trolls and censorship.

Why would anyone want to insult him? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
