Political content. Cutting through the distraction. Focusing on what's broken: the system, the media and the economy as well as on the climate crisis. Dev Raval is the human running this account.

The media need to start asking Labour ministers about their cuts to the British Transport Police after the horrific train knife attack. Why do they keep finding more and more money to protect Ukraine but can’t afford safety for commuters here?
Good news. More and more people realising the fight with Reform is now not in the future. The Tories and Labour are dying, the Lib Dem’s are well, Lib Dem’s. So that makes the Greens the only credible choice for next May’s elections.

But look what happens to landlords who can’t get away with a ‘sorry’ and who don’t have the prime minister excusing them…

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

Well done Plaid! what a shame ‘Starmer’s govt rejected PR and hasn’t actually behaved like Labour since being handed a huge majority by millions of now deeply disappointed voters
Scale of Plaid win in Caerphilly is significant, not least because of what it says about the potential for progressive tactical voting in (relatively) high turnout elections to block Reform. Voters in this race knew it was a Plaid-Reform contest and voted accordingly.

The Labour government tried to throw British Muslims and West Midlands police under the bus to try and protect Israel from some bad PR. Astonishing.

He’s right. Labour aren’t even centrist at this point, they’re fully onboard with pushing right wing policies.
The interviewer asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social if he's worried about splitting the left vote & whether the best way to beat the right is to vote Labour.

Zack: "The idea that the Labour party are on the left is completely incoherent"
Labour will try and present this tax change as a "wealth tax" to respond to growing calls for this. This tax will be messy and hit professionals, like doctors. A proper wealth tax like the one proposed by the Greens would be cleaner and yield more. But Labour won't touch the richest.

There's always a tweet! This is Cooper reacting in 2023 to mad Suella telling the Met police how they should police marches. Starmer and Lammy said similar.

Isn't technology wonderful?
UK government:
We need more AI for the NHS not reinvestment
We need digital IDs for everyone
Also the UK government…
Thanks, that last line is a killer

In a society with a healthy respect for ethics and the rule of law, the scandal would not be that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are barred from their Aston Villa match, but that the UK hasn't cut all sporting ties with a genocidal apartheid state.

As Big Pharma’s attack on the UK continues this report by @taxwatch.bsky.social👇shows 1 Pharma company has received billions in tax relief.

It’s part of the crazy subsidies we give big business to ‘drive innovation’. Instead it drives monopolies & high prices 🧵

Israel is refusing to allow a Turkish team with heavy equipment into Gaza to help recover the bodies of Israeli hostages.
Enjoy your living in a shit hole as councils get decimated along with the NHS but at leats you'll be safe from China. Hope you never need social care.
As Labour, the Tories obsess about the "threat" from China, a place 5,000 miles and 11 hours flight time away there's a bigger threat on our doorsteps. Our public services are collapsing: councils will be poorer in 2029 than they were in 2010.
No more cuts, we need reinvestment
