“We can choose decency or we can choose division”
says Labour Prime Minister
whose first acts as Labour leader
were to ditch the 10 pledges
which united the party
and got him elected leader
before instigating a Labour Left purge
including smearing & expelling
the predecessor
he'd called a friend

Thank you for your info - but unfortunately I've been unable to confirm it on Bluesky, X or Facebook - so could you please supply some evidence

Price fixing used to be illegal
Now Labour, Tories & Reform collude
in fixing energy prices to gas
so the billionaire press can lie
saying renewables are expensive
when they are FAR CHEAPER
than nuclear and ALL fossil fuels
so successive governments
are intentionally making
energy consumers poorer

"Keir Hardie, key founder of the Labour Party & leading socialist, advocated for policies that aimed to abolish landlordism.
Chris Bryant, a Labour MP for 24 years & Minister in Starmer’s Labour government, reckons he has no idea what abolishing landlords means."

Your regular reminder
that Artificial Intelligence
from centres powered by
fossil fuel generated electricity
further endangers
human life on earth
and should really be called
Gross Stupidity

OpenAI's new data centres will require as much electricity as New York City, while the US government says that the power for the AI industry will come from burning coal. This seems fine, right? futurism.com/artificial-i...

OpenAI's New Data Centers Will Draw More Power Than the Entirety of New York City, Sam Altman Says

OpenAI's planned AI data center projects would consume as much as the entire city of New York City and San Diego combined.

The message to Labour members is clear
Kowtow to Starmer and his cabinet
Don't question, debate any of The Leader's speeches
If Starner U-turns, get in line, fast
Keep paying your dues and shut up
Otherwise, you're out

With each passing day, democracy fades and authoritarianism takes its place

Just look at what Labour MP Luke “the nuke” Akehurst had to say regarding Owen Jones

I live on my own in a one bedroom flat. I am 70. My energy bill is very nearly £2,000 a year.

All this nonsense about "average household use" is utter bollox.

It seems that impoverishing poor people
to the extent of culling them
is now considered 'intelligent'

Fomenting whipped up statements about war and crime to justify policing citizens with military. This is a corrupt and deceitful administration.

Labour recognises the State of Palestine
while sending Israel weapons and providing intelligence
designed to exterminate Palestinians
and destroy Gaza & the West Bank

Glen Gorganzolla @ukfilmtvcritic.bsky.social · 16d

Now our government recognises #Palestine
will the #Conservatives who have allegedly taken donations from #Israel be on #PoliticsLive complaining of Anti Semitism across the whole of the Labour Party, Canada and Australia ?

Bingo cards at the ready 👍
