The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.

So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Israel’s criminal interception of the Sumud aid flotilla and the struggle to stop the Gaza genocide
The response to this latest war crime perpetrated by Israel reveals the vast gulf that exists between the rulers in the North American and European imperialist centres, and the working class.

Morning all
Has anyone told Jenrick who was in charge of the UK over the past 15 years?
Has anyone told him exactly what constitutes antisemitism?
That criticism of Israel is NOT antisemitic?
That the vile X platform most MPs + political parties insist on using actively promotes holocaust denial?🤔

🌍 Many still think we have decades to act

A new study finds that most UK parliamentarians, like the wider public, overestimate how long humanity has to peak global greenhouse gas emissions to keep warming below 1.5°C.

#SciComm #ClimateCrisis 🧪
Publics and UK parliamentarians underestimate the urgency of peaking global greenhouse gas emissions - Communications Earth & Environment
UK members of parliament overestimate the time available to mitigate climate change, with notable partisan differences, and a similar lack of knowledge is evident among publics in Britain, Canada, Chile, and Germany, according to an analysis that uses representative survey data.

Reminder that Nathan Gill, who pleaded guilty to 8 counts of Putin's bribery was quite central to Refuk as Reform UK Leader in Wales. He was close to Farage, Tice, Yusuf, GB NEWS’s Daubney, Reform’s Reckless and former MEP Alex Phillips. Refuk's Kremlin 🐀🐀 silence is deafening.

Further reminder - some of those currently trying to weaponise yesterday’s tragedy to fuel Islamophobia have a documented history of antisemitism. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says ‘Islamophobia and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin’.
