@channel4news.bsky.social Emily Thornbury’s usual stream of platitudes cuts no ice.
She is wrong to say the Middle East needs America’s heft.
The Middle East needs America to butt out of the region.
American Foreign Policy is a toxic pestilence.
UN must lead the World away from Pax Americana.

Why hasn’t the fact the @greenparty.org.uk now has 100,000 members for the first time been all over the BBC, Sky, ITV etc❓

Doah of course they only report good news for Reform, Tories and ignore the rest❗️🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

The Tories and Reform UK wants to strip us all of our rights and liberties, enshrined in the ECHR Charter, because the ECtHR has blocked the government from deporting a total of 13 immigrants since 1950. Only a fascist or an idiot would think that was a good idea.

Badenoch on #r4today saying they will "have returns agreements", yet we already know that many countries won't implement them. Now spreading it to "third party countries", such as Rwanda. The Rwanda plan was not stopped "because of the ECHR". The lack of honesty about what the ECHR does is massive.

#radio4 before talking to Kemi Badenoch Anna Foster set out policies of Conservatives, Labour, Reform and Lib Dems. Why no mention of the Greens policy? Anna Foster is usually a conscientious journalist so is this BBC policy to ignore the Green party?

This 'un-British' vibe is really beginning to piss me off

Keir Starmer asks students not to join protests on 7 October

The prime minister says it is "un-British" to hold pro-Palestinian protests on the second anniversary of Hamas's attacks on Israel.

#Labour do not care that our bills are high & that the cost of living is high. They've done NOTHING to reduce them.

Thay have deliberately chosen to keep bills high for us.

They're NOT on our side, they're on the side of the privatised companies & the millionaires. As are #Reform & the #Tories.

Common Wealth @cmmonwealth.bsky.social · 9d

@theguardian.com reports that millions of households could face “even bigger water bill increases than originally expected.”

Why should our bills go up *again*, when over the last five years, water company profit margins were 27% higher than the FTSE 350?

On the 13th March 2024 Rishi Sunak the then Prime Minister described anybody in favour of Scottish Independence as extremists.

In view of Palestine Action being proscribed I wonder when the cretin that currently holds that post will proscribe over half the population of Scotland as extremists?

It's the billionaires, not the government!

They just work for them.

#Labour have been bought, just like the #Tories before them.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 8d

If the billionaires control how much housing costs, how much energy costs, how much water costs, how much banking costs, how much telecoms cost, how much 'public' transport costs, how much food costs...

Who actually controls the country?
