People always harp on about British Values.

I'd like to live in a country that values the lives of innocent children and babies.

Those are real British values we should all stand behind.

Instead those claiming to be patriots take money from elites, propose tax cuts and attack the most vulnerable.
"These women in Calais are in crisis, but they are not a crisis. Each is a person. And how we treat them tells us everything about the kind of country we are choosing to be."

@rachelmillward.bsky.social reflects on meeting migrant women in Calais and the alternative choices we could make in 2026.

Because a small group of powerful individuals benefit most when:

-The economy is unstable

-Societies are divided to distract

-Public institutions are weak ready for privatisation

-Market are unpredictable (for most)
The UK benefits most when:

- The economy is stable
- Society is cohesive
- Public institutions are strong
- Markets are predictable

So why are so many trying to disrupt this? And with lies?

Labour are a success story but are being made out to be in chaos. Why?

Wonder how many are Russian?
Also unquestioningly repeating this line, despite people who sign up to Reform not having to confirm they are UK citizens, as is required for membership to other parties…..

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

No idea what all the fuss is about.

It's so easy to single out Jewish classmates, repeatedly berating them for voicing support for ethnic cleansing and gas chambers without malice or ill intent.

Then specifically targeting other non- whites with racist tropes.

Just everyday playground chit chat.
There’s Farage’s racism and bigotry, of course, but also the fact that he thinks we are all total mugs.

- I might have told Jewish pupils Hitler was right to gas Jews and made the hissing sound of gas but never with any malice -

Come on, Nige, pull the other one.

I disagree, I don't believe it is those without education but rather the passionately ill-informed. Those spouting hateful rhetoric often regardless of facts or nuance are the danger.

Great work......BUT,

If you hit £500k will you actually do a production of A Christmas Carol?

Please?
....and a million plays on the podcast too!

Thanks everyone for the support. Let's keep growing! 💚🙌🏼
3.5m views on this across X & Insta.

£200k raised for the local elections.

Oh we are so putting out two episodes of the podcast this week

Why does this even need a petition? Why won't the current government release the report or commission a review/inquiry?
This public inquiry needs to happen. Ex-PM Boozo Johnson 'sat' on the Russia Report for a reason and is suspected of close 'links' to Russian oligarchs. Brits need to know the extent of the Kremlin's 🕷️insidious influence on UK politics & democracy. Please sign👍

I'm a member of the Green Party, and I've just donated.

If you can afford to and you want to see decent, humane local and national government policies that support the poor, migrants and the environment, please donate as well.

Either way, please repost.

Most men under 30 have been playing video games a large portion of their lives, many using controllers now used in drone warfare. Many games simulate warzones (obviously not accurately) the younger generations are different they have a specific set of skills. Drone swarms > conscripted infantry.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Mad isn't it!

A leader who is geniune and who will actually answers questions, with reasoned arguments and solutions, is popular.

Who would have thought it?

Crazy strategy these greens have got 😂

Incredible. The Chancellor rents out her house without council permission and there’s an enormous fuss and people saying she should resign. Reform members talk openly about genocide on Muslims - and, well - relative silence.

Everyone should be held accountable for their actions.

Especially politicians and leaders of state.

@goodlawproject.org @barristersecret.bsky.social what would it take for the CPS to prosecute misconduct in public office?

Is this offence tried frequently?

Amazing how out of step Labour are with the public on this.

75% of people support a weath tax on assets (2% over £10M and 1% over £1B).

70% support a tax on hones worth £2M+

Voters want to TAX THE ULTRA RICH FUND PUBIC SERVICES!!!!!

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
