Three key tenets:
1. Human civilisation will not survive the continued destruction of the environment
2. Human rights apply to all humans
3. Oligarchs (and their politician peddlers) are not your friends
Why do so many people in the UK say they have the flu when they have a cold?
One of my pet peeves.

We’ve had enough of Starmer’s right wing, populist plonkers. His government is a catastrophe and is universally loathed - as is he.
UNLESS MAINSTREAM TAKES THE REINS AND CLEARS OUT THE STABLES, LABOUR IS DEAD - FOREVER!

What a pathetic way to address the issue of asylum seekers, playing the race card - sad, and disgusting

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.

The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.

We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.

Reject the hate. Reject them.

This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Switching from gambling to crypto with football sponsorship: you might describe it as not really a switch at all.

As the warnings say: you could lose all your money.

Should football clubs not have some responsibility to fans?

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”

If they support them they will too.

There is something insidious about the fact that people who are barely a generation away from their immigrant relatives are so comfortable with pulling the ladder up behind them.

What is Mahmood doing in the Labour Party anyway? She idolises thatcher and is right wing on most issues.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

It's real, and it's mind-blowing.

A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.
Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Sexual assault survivors are seeing politicians and TV personalities fall over themselves trying to obfuscate the horror of what Epstein did. Turn cartwheels to protect his powerful cronies.

Imagine the message that sends to them.

Now imagine why sexual assault survivors don’t come forward.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

The profit motive should have no place in any provision of care, healthcare or social care.

When it does, it is often the most vulnerable who pay the price for #privatisation.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.

Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.
