A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Author Michael Rosen wrote 'Don't Mention the Children' that Save The Children have used a decade ago.

Last year during the riots I felt angry, afraid and isolated. Then I went to the Walthamstow demo and the isolation and fear was swept away by the solidarity. We are London, not them.
They have lost this fight before. Cable street, Ridley road, against London, they have never won.

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade.
Look at what he does, ffs.
Look at his tax affairs.
Look at his grifting.
Look at his lies.
Look at his prejudice.
Look at his allies.
Look at his manifesto.
Look at his Brexit.
He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

Labour considering a half-baked backtrack on winter fuel ONLY after realising it's electoral poison is… something.

If you want to be trusted again:

Given current events, I think it's especially important to read books like @georgetakei.bsky.social 's powerful graphic memoir. Our family read it this week. I highly recommend everyone read the book.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

It's Starmer who's stopping us getting closer to the EU. Him and him alone. At the same time he's brown nosing Trump and offering US tech huge tax cuts: tax revenue which the UK needs desperately. The man's a total jerk.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.

The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.
