@robinince.bsky.social Robin, hi again, I've literally just chatted to you outside the Apollo Stage at Latitude.

You don't create a secret police just to go after the marginalized, you create a secret police so you can go after anyone who opposes you — and you use the marginalized groups to create the playbook you'll use on everyone.

🚨 We’re shocked and disappointed.

The UK government has pushed through HUGE cuts to Universal Credit for disabled people applying in the future.

These cuts will be devastating. They risk pushing even more disabled people to food banks.

Labour have pressed ahead with their punishing cuts to vital support for sick and disabled people, despite warnings from human rights groups, medical experts and the UN.

A shameful act of cruelty by a shameless government.
MPs vote to make Labour's 'reckless' benefits bill into law. Now what?
Despite major concessions, there remain concerns around the cuts to the health element of universal credit and the future of PIP.

The PM says welfare “must be pushed through.” But for 1.3m Disabled people, this isn’t reform its removal. PIP isn’t a bonus. It’s a lifeline. Cuts dressed as reform are still cuts. We need justice, not judgement. Dignity, not denial.

Possibly a mis-quote but the sentiment still stands. I took this photo whilst on site pre-public opening at Glastonbury festival, which is where I was 9 years ago today.

We were heartbroken to hear about the assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman yesterday and extend our deepest sympathies to their families, and gratitude for their service. This unacceptable violence is a direct result of the rhetoric of Trump and his regime. We do not accept rule by tyrants.

For 20 months, the British government has given Israel seemingly unlimited military aid and political cover for its atrocities in Gaza.

Further UK involvement in any Israeli operations further removes the prospect of peace. We need proper diplomacy now.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people."

We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power.

Sign and share please. This is going to be presented to Parliament by Richard Burgon MP. The higher the number of people who sign it, the more likely the PM, Cabinet ministers and the rest of Parliament will listen to it. So it needs a lot more people to sign it.
