Today Leeds followed our forebears who kicked Oswald Moseley and his Facists out of the city at the Battle of Holbeck Moor and stood up to racism, the far right and said loud and clear”Refugees are welcome here”. This is Leeds

The more people who vote SNP first and Scottish Greens second, the more pro-independence seats will be won and the fewer Unionist seats will be secured. 👍

Based on 2025 polling aggregates, the SNP has only a 10-20% likelihood of securing an outright majority.

They are almost certain (over 90%) to remain the largest party and form a minority government - perhaps a majority one with the Greens.

A pro-independence majority is highly likely (70%).

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

Still not get who the likes of @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social and the rest of Labour work for? We have literally watched Israel commit genocide and war crime after war crime, including collective punishment of starvation, and yet all they can say is “Hamas” fkn shameful

Saul Staniforth @saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 2h

Phillipson says Hamas committed appalling atrocities, inflicted significant suffering, killed countless civilians & took hostages, and for those reasons it can have no role in govt.

The Israeli regime has done all that & more. Why aren't you dictating who can govern Israel?

Private equity wrecked UK high street, says Iceland Foods boss

PE model - low wages, cut staff/investment, high debt, profiteering, tax abuse.

PE devoured Debenhams, Maplin, Byron Burger, Cath Kidson, Comet, Flybe, Poundworld, Toys R Us.

Controls care homes, vets, supermarkets.

Richard Walker says private buyers take out costs and fail to invest then sell to the highest bidder in a cycle that makes retailers steadily worse

According to media reports, Labour are about to engage on a mad attempt to blame future tax rises on "Farage's Brexit" having caused more damage than expected.

Several gaping flaws:
- "Make Brexit Work"
- Constant Brexit red lines reinforcement
- 14 years of the TORIES in power
- Flatters Reform

We need more brave journalists like the ones in bylines. Not afraid to tell the truth to try and improve society. Imagine if we had politicians and msm who were also so brave, rather than those bought and paid to reward the elite and corporations. Just look at the disaster that is water companies

British journalism has been through a shameful era – bending the knee to Downing Street.

Can it ever recover its dignity? Peter Thurlow wonders.

How deference becomes client journalism in plain sight

Until those who lie or deliberately mislead the public (both msm and politicians) are held legally accountable, nothing will change. It should be illegal for any politician not to answer the question put to them. Let’s start having transparency on all sides, including the corporate self serving msm
