This message from Tom Watson on what Labour SHOULD be saying about Europe is as relevant today as it was in when he made it in 2019. All you have to do is replace the threat of a Boris Johnson premiership with the threat of a Nigel Farage one.

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

This is very funny.

Only yesterday Starmer was swatting away hacks at a press conference who believed they had questions to answer over it.

The mainstream media, the Tories, and Farage accused Reeves of doing something wrong, again, and were proved wrong, again.

It’s marvellous.

It's been interesting: I put out some opinions about how Kamala would be better than Trump and white folks still want to argue with me about how Kamala was sooooo horrible.

Are you reading the news? Are you checking out what Trump is doing?

Exactly @zackpolanski.bsky.social. The right-wing press are shitting themselves just incase he gets into power. Then the very rich will pay their fare share on tax! Come on Polanski
Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.

They are all nuts! We have our nuts over here! Farage and all the current tories
I get it’s not personal it’s (bad) drag. That said, I cannot think of a situation where one party accuses the other of basically the worst thing possible and then… this. Presumably owning the libs is the higher cause 🤷

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit.

Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-2024.

David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

Even if we get Trump and the GOP out of government those that are left have to be petitioned to do the right thing.

We have to force the hand of the system. That was our mistake last time.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
