Night night sweet dreamies

Sometimes all you need is just for somebody to be there, even if they can’t solve your problems

Just knowing there is somebody there who cares can make all the difference

Be someone’s somebody 🐈

Reform’s white nationalism will extinguish everything good about Britain If they gain power people will realise – but far too late

Heartbreaking from @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social on the very real damage Farage and Reform are doing to our country and shared future.

“Brexit was the first, deep cut into that optimistic, multiracial Britain. What has followed was entirely predictable.”

The entire world lives under the thumb of violent misogynists--not just the Epstein class, but middle-class men like Dominique Pelicot, who drugged his wife for yrs & invited ~100 men into her bedroom to rape her--& no one seems to notice or care, except the victims, who are disbelieved or blamed.

Labour is investing billions to rebuild crumbling and unfit schools.🏫

All RAAC material will be removed and we are climate proofing schools for the next generation. We are also putting in £300 million worth of tech upgrades.👩‍💻

Labour is putting young people at the heart of government.🌹

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran The disagreement over the use of British sites is behind the US president’s withdrawal of support for the Chagos Islands deal, The Times understands

BREAKING: President Trump has apparently withdrawn his support for Keir Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands over to Mauritius because the UK has not agreed to allow the use of British bases to attack Iran

Oh we are NOT messing around 🔥👊

It's such a big and important question. It needs to be discussed much more.

Perhaps. Us humans are pretty good at shying away from things that make us uncomfortable and what could be more uncomfortable than discovering that the world is a much scarier place than you thought possible? Also a lot of effort is put into distracting us from joining the dots.

Yeah, it's everything that's wrong with the world. It seems money and power trumps everything else, even humanity's future survival. Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine opened my eyes to the effort that goes into profiteering, regardless of the consequences. We know, yet they continue to get away with it.

Misconduct in Public Office: The Arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor After years of scandal and insulation, the legal system appears to have found a door it can push open.

Andrew Mountbatten-Wonders has been arrested for misconduct in public office - not the charge many of us expected (or to be honest, wanted), but could this be the foothold required to see real accountability reach one of the world’s most insulated figures?

Now the rest of them. Not just the sex offenders, but all those named in the Epstein files who’ve used their power and influence to undermine our democracy and sell the country out.
Investigate them all.

Well written Bedford Council

Reform UK want to scrap the Equality Act and leave the ECHR. Yes, this will leave ordinary people open to being exploited by unscrupulous business owners and politicians, but my rich donors and I promise not to take advantage. Trust me, I'm a man of the people.

New rights for working people ✊

It's official!! the majority of the draconian 2016 Trade Union Act has been scrapped.

Now our unions have more rights to support workers, and will help secure better pay & conditions for working people!

Things like this, proposed council tax rises, restoring the two child benefits cap, are what journalists should keep informing voters of at local level.

It may not shift their base, but most want absolutely none of any this.

Tens of thousands more students join legal action over Covid-hit studies Sign-ups to Student Group Claim in England and Wales escalate amid reports of £21m payout by University College London

Universities were forced to pivot quickly to online teaching when all institutions went into multiple lock downs imposed by the government in response to a covid pandemic. 🧵

Tory anti-trade union laws are in the shredder, thanks to the Employment Rights Act. 🔥🌹

Now let's finish the job and deliver the New Deal for Working People in full.

That should tell you all you need to know about Reform UK

Sarah Kendzior and the Permanent American Conspiracy I have to confess that I’ve spent the last few months getting utterly obsessed with the Epstein story.

New review of my book THEY KNEW, which lays out the backstory of the Epstein conspiracy. It was published in 2022 and therefore lives up to the title! I appreciate this essay and its broader insights: carter719.substack.com/p/sarah-kind...

Proud to welcome the Prime Minister to Taffs Well today to announce a major, long-term commitment to transforming Welsh rail.

We're being subjected to a deluge of medieval anti-science claptrap from the right-wing press.

Their opinions are not just "hot takes" – they're wrong and dangerous.

⚠️ “The Equality Act is vital – it is not a slogan or a culture-war talking point. It is the legal guarantee that you cannot be sacked for being pregnant, refused housing because of your race, or harassed at work because you are disabled or gay."

❌ "That is not ideology. That is basic fairness."

Further justification to hold the owners of social media platforms accountable for their content. As we do with traditional media. Time to close this loophole that allows so much harm to be done in our country - for the benefit of a handful of foreign billionaire platform owners.
