It's very tempting to look at the reasons given for Maria Corina Machado receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and see them as a slap down for Trump and his activities within the US and against her country, but we should rather ensure her achievement is not diminished or overshadowed in that way

Sorry to burst your bubble announcing you will improve GP access in poorer areas is not the same as delivering improved GP access in poorer areas.

If I criticise the current Trump administration I'm not anti-American. Equally if I do the same regarding the government led by Mr Netanyahu I'm not anti-Israeli. I've been critical of some of the things Mr Starmer has done-Does that make me anti-British?! #r4today (Mr Birss-British for 68+years!).

So if it's undermining the rights of marginalised minorities it's "challenging" students and if the government doesn't like free speech it's "intimidation" #r4today

This open gaslighting destroys trust in government and institutions which turns the country into a Russian Surkov style gangster state

And no mention of the Rabbi chaplain who served with the IDF and was welcomed back by Leeds University- leaving muslim students feeling intimidated.

Or Government Subsidies.
Or tax cuts for billionaires.
Or bailouts for billionaires.

Or basically it's only handouts if the recipients aren't rich.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social , as you know I was blown away by conference and more importantly the party political broadcast 'Making Hope Normal Again'. But I think we also need a theme song and I would like to propose @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social 's Caravan of Love - the message is clear.

#bbcpm The world can now slowly forget about Palestine as the State of Israel ethnicity cleanses on the quiet. #bbcpm

trottillidrop.bsky.social @trottillidrop.bsky.social · 1d

The State of Israel has been ethnicity cleansing Palestine since 1948, it ain't gonna stop after a 'ceasefire', it may slow down but it will never stop. #wato

Israel and Hamas said they had agreed to a long-awaited ceasefire and hostage deal, the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to end a war in Gaza that has killed more than 67,000 people and reshaped the Middle East reut.rs/48RrstN

My dad was in the RAF right through WWII and fought the Nazis all the way. He was a working-class Tory all his life but was decidedly anti-fascist. However according to these ignorant clowns him being against Hitler would make him 'Antifa' crooksandliars.com/2025/10/pres... #Americast #r4today

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Spain has made it a serious crime with up to Life imprisonment if anyone sends arms to Israel.

The rest of the world need to do the same.

No weapons for War Criminals.

Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.
