If we allow two years of daily genocidal depravity to be normalised – at the very moment when the far right is in the ascendancy – then we will condemn humanity to barbarism, writes Owen Jones ✍️

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Right-wing commentators claim inequality in Britain is falling. It isn’t. In this video, I expose the real story behind Britain’s growing inequality and why official data is misleading, as well as suggesting what we need to do to tackle this issue. youtu.be/WhFPzDWOQzk?...

Is Britain's inequality really decreasing?

Comrades & friends, Expect the Holyrood elections in 2026 to be the nastiest election ever. The unionists know that they are on a hiding to nothing, So they will conflate, obfuscate & damn well lie to promise you that the empire is still #BetterTogether What they won't do is recognise any of this.👇

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

The BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night.

But he schooled them all.

More money in your pocket, more opportunities, fewer emissions.

I’m proud we introduced free bus travel for young people under 22 - and as of today, over 250 million free journeys have been made across Scotland.

Together with scrapping peak rail fares, we’re making your commutes cheaper.
