We always knew that Labour cares about little else other than keeping private developers happy.

But here's proof showing off to JP Morgan despite destruction of some of the "rarest creatures in our country."

Let's make that description Labour votes.

Die rechtsfreie Brutalität, mit der GB, Schweden oder auch Deutschland gegen palästinasolidarische Demonstrierende vorgeht, ist ein Vorgeschmack darauf, wie #Arschlochgesellschaften in Zukunft mit ALLEM "Aktivismus" umgehen werden.

It starts with Palestine protests. But where will the crackdown on Britain’s democratic freedoms end? | Owen Jones

In making dissent a privilege, not a right, Labour is crafting a repressive toolkit. Imagine it in the hands of a Farage government, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

That is QUITE the bias! It's been clear for a good while now where she is, politically. But to let it show in such an obvious way, that's just professional negligence

UK privatises water, lets financiers turn it into an asset class, extract billions, pollute our rivers and now Labour government
may let them pollute for another 15 (!!!) years instead of nationalising Thames Water?

incredible.

"I'm puzzled when people say the Swiss have good transportation b/c they're rich. It has nothing to do with that. They're still using trams from 1970. They restore them every 7 years. Making do is part of the culture. If you're using trams for 50 years, that's a hell of a savings."

What's the point of the police? To support the interest of capital and lock up protestors against genocide, not deal with actual crime.

Labour is no longer the party of the working class. Workers need the right to uphold their rights, otherwise rights are useless. Enforcement of workers rights is already not happening enough, this would be a horrific step backwards. @tuc.org.uk @unison.org.uk @ucu.org.uk @pcsunion.bsky.social
