Dawn Butler needs to be crowned "Queen of the Commons".

She was thrown out of Parliament for calling Boris a liar, then Parliament declared him a Liar.

Now @DawnButlerBrent has been scolded for calling Racist Sarah Pochin 'racist'.

THIS MUST END!

The RSF’s capture of Darfur is a tragedy unfolding in silence.

Thousands have been killed, millions displaced, a man-made famine, driven by foreign interference — and the world looks away.

We must demand accountability, humanitarian aid, and an end to the violence in Sudan.

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

War Criminal Netanyahu is breaking the Ceasefire because dead Israeli bodies which are buried in the rubble created by his bombs aren't being handed over fast enough.

Of course they can't tell you that, so they don't tell you anything.

This is the first time that I have even seen a death toll for Sudan.

“More than 150,000 people have died across the country and about 12 million have fled their homes, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.”

This is a genocide in Sudan.

El-Fasher: Rebel group claims capture of key city in Sudan

The fall of el-Fasher would cement the RSF's control of the west and reinforces a de facto split in the nation.

The first thing we should Renationalise is the Government.

MPs should not receive a penny from any 'donors', they should work only for you.

"Just because I'm an all-purpose raging bigot doesn't mean you can call me a bigot" is a whole public identity now, isn't it?

Along with "Of course bigotry is wrong, but my bigotry isn't the wrong sort of bigotry, whereas objecting to my bigotry is the kind of bigotry that is wrong".

Waking up, again, to the sound of two white men on the radio arguing about whether it is ok to be made "mad" by the very sight of black and Asian people on TV. 😒

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

As the Atlantic Ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity

Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.

I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.

Riddle me this.

If every single private procedure done on the NHS costs nearly 3x as much as one done completely on the NHS.

And funding is fixed.

How many more patients in the long term can you treat if you rely on privatised care?

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

The Media people who moan about the low birth rate are the same people who have got rid of social housing, cut child benefits, slashed wages and created an environment where many can't AFFORD to have children.

The problem is them.
