I support a natural unprocessed or minimally processed food diet, AND vaccines. Broccoli doesn't cure polio.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Absolutely astounded that the starmer regime is the worst government of my lifetime so far.

How do you have Johnson and Truss government behind you and go "hold my beer"?

In her first interview since resigning as a whip, Vicky Foxcroft has spoken of her reasons for leaving the government, and how many #Labour MPs have come to her since her resignation ‘to share their concerns’ about the disability benefit cuts. Full story Thursday.

UK Social Security Plans Will Harm People With Disabilities While the UK government claims its moves “will protect the most vulnerable,” in reality its plans to cut £4.5 billion in disability-linked benefits by 2030 will have a devastating impact on people’s r...

UK Parliamentarians should reject the government’s plan to cut disability benefits, and be clear that budget savings should not come at the cost of the rights—especially the right to social security—of people with disabilities.

Human dignity must come first.

The BBC keep feeding the Farage troll but ignore the party that gained 4x the number of mps.

We need politics covered on facts, not extremist opinions, or those opinions become quickly become presented as facts

Farage lied about Brexit being good for he UK and yet there he goes because when you're a fascist nothing you say matters as long as you wrap your bullshit in racism because that's all his target audience wants.

They'd live in a ditch shoving berries up their nose as long as they can hate.

This is absolutely brilliant satire that succinctly explains how the Daily Mail radicalises people.

Labour have over 6k elected Councillor’s the Tories over 5k, Lib Dem’s over 3k yet the BBC and most other media outlets are acting as if Reform with less than 9O0 ( less than the Greens) are running the country.

This is a such a great thread.

A lot of times people put me on lists of "actually good male role models" which always makes me a little uncomfortable because very little of what I do speaks to the insecurity and fear young men have and sometimes I feel pretty guilty about that.

The leadership needs to end its obsession with chasing the far-right on immigration, which only bolsters Reform.

Instead, we must tackle the real causes of falling living standards and broken public services like austerity, de-industrialisation, and climate vandalism. [2/3]

Tax the super-rich and multinational corporations.

Scrap the disability benefit cuts and the two child limit.

End austerity.

Put money in people’s pockets.

Work together to build a fairer, healthier, and more equal society.

This is the programme we need. [3/3]

Being angry at me for calling Reform voters racist or thick and claiming it’ll affirm their stance, is like being angry I pointed out the sky is blue in case it gets more blue.

Many are so far down conspiracy rabbit hole that facts are wasted.

I’m not placating racists. Fuck that. This is MAGA UK.

A screenshot from the BBC’s live coverage of the local election results in the UK on 2nd May 2025, a side profile picture of Dame Andrea Jenkyns stood giving a speech in a large hall, long tables and chairs can be seen behind her as well as a row of men in suits standing against a wall and others sat on the opposite side of the table. She is wearing a glittery silver blue top with a Reform UK rosette pinned to it, she is smiling as she gives her speech.

What glorious past are we returning to?! Can anybody tell me?! When did this idealistic glorious version that working class people seem to think existed happen? When? WHEN? Wheeeeen?! And why are we looking back and not forward?! And wtf even are these election results, I hate it here.

Reform will sell the NHS to a US private healthcare provider in a moment if they got near power. Interesting Farage’s constant nose scratching there - supposedly a sign of lying or uncertainty. Strange little man our Nige.

I point this to my parents (who live in Scotland).

Me: "I'm so tired of FPTP".
Mom: "No point in getting upset about it, though"
Me: "It's a stupid system that produces stupid results. If you can't get upset about that, what can you get upset about?". :P
