Hope @unison now actually represents Black & Asian staff who died during #Covid19 & were harmed, hurt & killed by flawed or nonexistent Risk assessments that still underplay the impact of SickleCell Diabetes & KelloidDisorder in surviving COVID19 @laylamoran.bsky.social @drhnaqvi.bsky.social

I think you will find it’s not that Christ who is the “WORD” has supported evil fascism, slavery, crusades, burning of women, etc - but as foretold & through-out time: Devils can & will quote scripture & will harness any shape, form, twisted man-made ideology to deceive & further evil. #Vigilance

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

General Joseph Ankrah on visit to No10 had been on payroll of CIA and British Intelligence and worked to overthrow President of Ghana.

Beyond war: Need a coalition that agrees stop destabilising countries for profit! Good ole Labour boys like Wilson were involved in joint enterprise of regime change with USA & unleashed civil instability, economic hardship & continue to scar nations. @libdemshk.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Shame on #Farage for betraying the covenant with our qualifying #Commonwealth citizen & citizens of the Republic of Ireland. Eligible to vote & #RefUK should remember it was my Commonwealth forefathers who answered this country’s call to fight for our democracy. He insults their memory & legacy.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

COUNCIL STATEMENT ON VOTING: A spokesperson for the Acting Returning Officer said: "Polling station staff are trained to look out for any evidence of undue influence on voters. No such issues have been reported today. "If Democracy Volunteers were so concerned about alleged issues they could and should have raised them with us during polling hours so that immediate action could be taken. We have operated a central by-election hub which was has been rapidly responding to reported issues during the day, in liaison with the police - who had a presence at every polling station - where necessary. "It is extremely disappointing that Democracy Volunteers have waited until after polls have closed to make such claims."

This is what Manchester City Council said about the allegations.

What’s #Truth? - are you waiting for #TrumpTruthSocial to admit the 70,000 humans slaughtered by the Israeli Defence Force in Gaza were mainly children, women & Civilians. Indeed more civilians died in Gaza than in UK during the entire WW2. Haven’t enough children died for you through USA bombs.

Dr Aggrey Burke obituary Consultant psychiatrist who blew the whistle on racist admission policies at London medical schools

A doctor who stood up to NHS racism 40 years ago when those who "led the NHS" looked the other way. As some still do.

Wonderful and It’s absolutely the time for this nation to return to having coherent cultural policies and strategy that creates opportunities and investment for crafts people - @libdemshk.bsky.social

Following today's surgery in Allerford, it was wonderful to see Noah at the Forge and to chat to some of the other team members.

The time and effort put into the team's work really shows.

W Som has a proud history of tradesmanship, and the Forge is a bastion of that history.

Simple -time for a #JudicialReview application into #NHS procurement of Palantir (with release of the Equality Impact Assessment) perhaps not something your colleagues are going to welcome? @goodlawproject.bsky.social @libdemdaisy.bsky.social @joshbabarinde.bsky.social @chriscoghlanmp.bsky.social

Government deals with Palantir stink, and stank long before the Peter Mandelson scandal. The government must pivot away from companies like Palantir.

We wish everyone the opportunity to rest and rejuvenate over the weekend so we can all continue to take on the work that lies ahead.

The Gorton and Denton by-election shows people are bitterly disappointed with Labour but horrified by the rise of Reform.

In many parts of the country, it's the Liberal Democrats who can stop Reform.

After Hannah Spencer's crushing win they may not be so keen in future

In UK, right-wing clownery of #Reform has attempted to borrow White-robbed racism of USA. Playing up division. Or mimicking USA playbook claiming defence of a shared ‘Christian’ culture. All lies & like devil quoting scripture intended to deceive. Even down to lying about political roles & power.

Hi @rogerkline.bsky.social do you want to remind #Unison they funded Ministers like #WesStreeting SecretaryofState 4 Health-running biggest employer in country NHS -& So complicit in allowing weakening of our national movement founded on collaboration & literally blood, sweat & tears of immigrants.

NHS patients put at risk by ‘sham investigations’, says ex-CEO of hospital Exclusive: Dr Susan Gilby, who won £1.4m bullying payout, says whistleblower protections must be strengthened

On the day when shortcomings in maternity care are highlighted (again) dont forget the wise words from a sacked CEO who spoke truth to power - raising concerns can be (and often is) dangerous in the NHS

Another connection: my late mum lived & is buried in Devon, UK -which is where St Walpurga of Finnish May-Day tradition was born in AD710. Though St Walpurga’s martyrdom is actually on the 25 Feb -a significant anniversary in my own little family. Celebrating great women who have made a difference!

Looks wonderful! Promised my daughters one day we would see May-day in Finland: my “mother-land”. Until then we have the lakes of the Surrey Hills. #Lahja #Fransilja #Sinikka-Liisa #Minna - @pyrynestori.bsky.social @mtoiv.bsky.social @fiia.fi

Fortunately tiny % of #Reform linked #Carpetbaggers: but one I react against more acutely being three-generations #NHS -& having a very-very distant link to the great Joan Stober (of Ga heritage) first Black-British nurse in NHS at its birth July1948. She like many built the NHS & local community!

Israel responsible for two-thirds of record 129 press killings in 2025, says CPJ Committee to Protect Journalists report says Israel also to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings * The deadly toll on journalists in the Gaza war A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, two-thirds of them by Israeli forces, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday.

Latest on the Chagos Islands debacle, Farage’s attempted ‘landing’, & the government’s faltering ‘deal’ - which has failed to secure the consent of Chagossians and has now lost the support of the US President.

It’s a diplomatic and geopolitical omnishambles. #Chagos #DiegoGarcia

NHS in England to be set targets on getting people back to work Ministers also planning to link patient data to benefit claims and employment statistics

Ministers plan linking patient data to benefit claims and employment statistics. As Streeting promises to make the NHS "accountable" for whether patients are in work by setting new targets for 'getting people back to work'. That NHSE (DHSC) Palantir contract should help

Families are crying out for action to protect our children from harmful social media.

Faced with an opportunity to vote for a ban for the first time, Labour MPs voted against our plan.

Our motion forcing the Government to release the Andrew files has been successful.

The culture that protected Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and other Epstein associates must end now. Victims and survivors have waited long enough.

This is a quote from my dad, caught up in the Windrush scandal. Although my dad had to accept his compensation offer when my mum became really sick, there are so many victims still stuck fighting for compensation and justice. Recent figures show that 60% will be offered £0!

Picture of Robert Maxwell (international fraudster) with Trump 1989

Actually- I remember my parents taking about events before I was born (in the 1950’s) they lived in Paddington- perhaps time to revisit Peter Rachman? (Who they knew) Beyond thuggery, prostitution, entrapment & violence post war London- Maxwell & Rachman men from Ukraine - with shady USSR links.
