The image features a protest sign with a strong environmental message. It uses colorful, chalk-like writing to convey the text: "EXPLAIN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS IT WAS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY WHEN THEY CAN’T FARM THE LAND, BREATH THE AIR, OR DRINK THE WATER." Amidst this text is an illustration of a grim urban landscape with smokestacks in the background and a child in the foreground wearing a gas mask and holding a teddy bear.

Every person I know who went to Hillsdale lowkey sucks and reeks of privilege.

In case you missed it ...
Workers with a migration backgound recorded this powerful poem during the pandemic. They feared the UK and its politicians would soon forget how they helped the country survive. And they were right. Fickle politicians who clapped for them then now call them "strangers".

Workers pay National Insurance on their wages, which reduces their take-home pay. But people who live off investment income, from stocks, property, or other assets, pay no equivalent tax.

British five-year-olds are up to 7cm shorter than children of the same age in Europe, with experts suggesting poor nutrition is responsible. Yes, it bloody well is time the two-child benefit cap was scrapped.

Bringing back PFI to our NHS would be harmful to patients.

“Like a family using a payday loan to buy their home, yes, we’d end up with a building, but we’ll have to sacrifice meals to keep up with the payments.”

MPs are against those plans. Time to drop them, Wes Streeting.

We have had 17 years of Austerity.

What we need now is Austerity for the rich.

Let them go without Mansions, Private Jets and Megayachts for at least 17 years.

it used to be the economy was the way we provide people with food shelters and other necessities to keep them alive. now we are all supposed to die for the sake of the ecomy. What is this thing they are talking about. is it just code for rich people. class power, or what.

Why is the priority of the economy not to house the homeless and ensure everyone has good healthcare?

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

YouTube video by Prem Sikka House of Lords social cost of water 29Oct2025

Anti-Zionism is NOT Antisemitism.

Zionism is not Judaism.

Israel is not the state of the Jews.

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.

It’s not. He wasn’t.

And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Hold Fujitsu to account for Post Office scandal £41 million! That’s how much more the Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system. And that's on top of another whopping £65m the Government paid the scandal ...

"The Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu another £41 million to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system." Seriously ?

Fiona Bruce lives in a massive mansion, but she says actually it is quite small.

Because she never comes out of the Right Wing.

Labour still ar$ing about, refusing to admit that proscribing PalAction was a stupid law, while seeming oblivious to the real threat of far right, foreign influences.
What the actual f is he doing?

If so, when you come to vote in 2029, this time, think very carefully.

Really, Really, Really carefully where you put your X this time...

Yet another pledge broken:

'WWF: "Failing to invest falls short of #Starmers 'commitment' for the UK to be “all in” on climate action"

Greenpeace: "PM should put his money where his mouth is”

ActionAid: "Labour needs to ramp up their ambition” on the green transition"...

Self-righteous wankery from the Independent newspaper about how reading in public is supposedly a performative act. Philistines are everywhere!

I've been reading in public all my life purely for the pleasure of reading and long before The Independent existed... they can fuck off with this kind of pearl-clutching, mocking, attempt to make me feel bad about it.
