⚠️Folk better stop laughing this off. A Reform-run No10 means ripped-up workers’ rights, climate denial baked into policy, migrants and minorities used as target practice, & the NHS carved up for profit. Farage is a millionaire dressed up as “One of the lads, ”It’ll be the people already struggling.

The current rhetoric from Labour is that they see themselves best placed to stop another SNP term of office as 19years of SNP governance has been enough.

Contrast that argument that since 1708 we have been dominated by unionist rule from Westminster that currently has NO majority within Holyrood.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Banks make $26bn in a decade of financing deforesting companies.

Destruction of the world’s forests reached the highest level - agricultural expansion, mining, infrastructure, logging.

Profits before climate change, human lives and the planet.

The cult of deregulation will make matters worse.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 1d

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Really American

In his latest impersonation of a petty mobster, Trump threatens to take away the World Cup games from Boston, and even the Olympics from Los Angeles, to whomever doesn't bend the knee to him.

Shameful vindictiveness.

If Labour don’t reform the Energy Profits Levy then even more jobs will go.

They must listen to industry, the unions and workers and do the right thing.
