This government promised us 'the biggest wave of insourcing of public services in a generation' 🌊

Have you seen it?! We definitely haven't. 🧐

BUT now that the government are planning changes to the Procurement Act, we've got a chance to put the pressure on. πŸ’ͺ

Take action now. πŸ‘‡

As the earthquake death toll rises, @dvbenglish.bsky.social release another update on attacks by Junta forces on contested/resistance areas.
20 attacks by Junta forces have now been confirmed (likely an underestimate due to communications challenges) across Myanmar.
So messed up.

When far right types like Elon Musk, Jair Bolsonaro, Viktor Orban, Geert Wilders, Santiago Abascal, & Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov are all whining about the conviction and sentencing of Marine Le Pen, you know that justice has won.

In case you didn’t get this straight, Trump stopped all aid including what was in transit, even as close as Poland.

A lot of it is air defence missiles. Civilians are going to die because there won’t be anything to protect us with. From marauders to murderers.

World leaders: stand up to Trump, starting *now* Donald Trump is a bully. And like any bully…we need to stand up to him. If we don’t, our international world order is in danger. He’s already threatened to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Can

Trump just orchestrated one of the most shameful moments in US history.

We need *all leaders* outside the US to stand up to Trump.

For that we need to show they have our backing. Add your name and share this link widely, it has never been more critical to have our voices heard:
