Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists."
There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton.

Jackpot, not enough is made of the fact that wages in the UK are stuck in another lifetime.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "peoples wages are stuck in 2008.. rents are going up, bills are going up.. the Green Party are offering solutions to that, & what I think Starmer should be doing is focussing on the issues people face every single day rather than making cheap [political] attacks"

A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.

Nearly 3,000 peaceful people have been arrested under this outrageous ban.
It was brought in after lobbying by arms companies and Netanyahu's government.
It has been condemned by UN rapporteurs and many other experts.
All the while, our government has been collaborating in real state terrorism.

The ban was justified by Yvette Cooper, who imposed it when she was Home Secretary, on the grounds that she knew some special secrets about PA the rest of us didn't: a shocking abuse of government privilege. She has never produced this "evidence", and we have reasons to believe it does not exist.

Labour front benchers scratch their heads and wonder why their base has collapsed, why so many people are disillusioned, frustrated, furious. I mean, what is it about pissing on every value and principle your party once upheld that alienates the electorate? Beats me. 🤔

An innocent young girl killed because of transphobia and hate. What's changed in the three years since? Transphobes have upped their attacks. The government has increased discrimination.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
