Can anyone explain why #Corbyn might want to purge “left wing activists” from @yourparty.bsky.social as @zarahsultana.bsky.social has alleged?

Hardly the only time this government has let rightwing online trolls guide policy if we are being totally honest.

This is rooted in the idea that disabled individuals should be "grateful for gruel". It's perception over reality as policy, no matter the way it reinforces the perception. 1/

FACT CHECK: Trump’s mother and two of his wives were immigrants. His grandfather was even kicked out of Germany for dodging military service. And back then? No visas, no vetting — the Trump family basically just walked in like it was Costco sample day.

It’s my birthday!
Bunty has given me breakfast in bed allowing me to smear jam on her croissants.
Later on Jill in the village shop is giving me a taste of her Lemon drizzle.
Then Bunty & I will settle down & watch our DVD of Liz Truss’s greatest moments! 🥳

In fact, of course, the problem was caused by greedy companies forcing asylum seekers to take taxis because they get a cut of all expenditure, and a cut of a bus ticket isn't enough for them.

The stomach-turning part of this is the way that the government, the B.B.C., and the right-wing press are presenting this as a problem created by asylum seekers, whose greed is being reined in by Starmer et al..

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

Not only that it’s too stupid to realise that the “brain drain” is the direct result of idiotic policies driven by pandering to the #ClactonCuckoo whom they support! Duh.
The Mail does not even know what socialism means.
This is how the Mail has covered a 70% fall in net migration.

The Government should stop kidding itself it will ever get credit for being anti-migration. They could cut numbers to zero and there would still be front pages blasting them for making the UK a socialist wasteland no one wants to come to

Here’s a notion Shabana & Kier. Allow #AsylumSeekers to work then they can pay taxes & their own transport. Not public transport science & certainly not rocket science. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labour’s budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.

If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.

If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.

They need to proscribe farmers & the NFU as a terrorist organisation then they could arrest them.
Farmers were banned from protesting in Whitehall by Police but went ahead & broke the law by doing so👇🏼

September 857 were arrested for showing support for Palestine Action.. a group calling for an end to Genocide in Gaza

Farmers are bitching about Death Duty.. so how many arrests so far❓
Farmers ignore tractor ban and take inheritance tax protest to Westminster
Police had banned tractors from Whitehall, but farmers angry about Rachel Reeves's tax changes brought their budget day protest to Westminster anyway.
