¡No Pasarán, Mate! @nopasarannz.bsky.social · Nov 7

In the thirty years following the Second World War, there was a broad political consensus. Taxpayers & politicians alike recognised that the best defence against fascism was to ensure that everyone's needs were met through a strong social safety net and robust public services.

Alarming that both Tories and Reform are committed to accelerating fossil fuel use and rolling back renewables. A suicide lobby, enthusiastic about wrecking our future! #Fossilfools #ClimateChange

There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They called it a hoax, but it was just business — billions spent to seed doubt, stall progress, and keep the pumps running. Decades lost, lies sold, air thick with profit.

Thought so. I shall wait for all of the social media posts from various political actors clearly condemning this political violence and unacceptable behaviour against Parliament's first nonbinary MP.
