#OtD 14 Jul 1912 influential populist US folk musician Woody Guthrie was born. Guthrie chronicled the difficult conditions faced by working class Oklahomans during the Dust Bowl and spoke out against class inequality and fascism stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8576...

They once called Nelson Mandela a terrorist, and now they have a statue of him in Parliament Square, London.

Scary batshit stuff especially if you think she was the PM. She is going to join Reform , although they don’t appear to be keen on women. Only hope is she stands in SW Norfolk where she is hated not for being right wing nutter who crashed the economy but because she was a useless constituency MP.

Happy Birthday Wes

Yes can see him and JHT doing well in the future

Yes I initially thought not good idea but having spoke some people who knew him I was quite excited although it would be a risky appointment. Now very concerned where we are going. Also quite enjoyed singing Wiltshire’s at the wheel.

Gary Lineker: "This is the mistake the BBC makes. The BBC tries to appease the people that hate the BBC, rather than worrying about the people that love the BBC."

It was so good

Sad news to hear of the passing of the Pope. A Pope who spoke up for the poor and marginalised. Who spoke up repeatedly about the genocide in Palestine. Hopefully his legacy will be preserved with the next Pope.

RIP Pope Francis

Well done America

The "Hands Off!" protests today were nothing short of monumental, marking a powerful and unified stand against what organizers have called the most audacious power grab in modern history. With over 1,400 events spanning all 50 states and hundreds of thousands of participants.

Happy 100th Birthday Tony Ben - my earliest political inspiration inspired by grandad who avidly followed his speeches. A great man ( Ben and my grandad) a true socialist and humanitarian who also understood the importance of the UKs place in international politics.

Wondering the people outraged by the delay in local elections allow council reform actually vote in local elections- isn’t the turn out about 25% usually

Just made the mistake of going on X to check some football news - has ruined my evening with all the racist, reform rubbish. People seriously supporting dismantling the NHS for private insurance. Need a lie down now.

After not expecting much that is a dam good transfer window - especially with the last minute drama for Wright. @canaries.co.uk

Now looks like we have to stay up 💚💛

This is the most shocking statement made by a democratic head of state in decades.

Scary stuff #Trump

From the outset the Met sought to ban pro-Palestine demonstrators from peacefully protesting.

The crackdown is an attack on freedom of expression & false claims of "forceful" behaviour are dangerous.

Charges must be dropped & the government must end this authoritarian exercise.
