Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics

Concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US/UK/Europe? We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaigns in the UK.

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

And when your parents/grandparents say we had ration cards for ID, tell them we already have driving licences, national insurance numbers, + passports, + don't need more!

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.

So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

I wish they’d stop conflating anti- genocide with anti semitism. The attack in Manchester was horrific. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is also horrific. I am able to hold both positions because I don’t blame Jews for the genocide in Gaza - I blame Israel. Unfortunately the press is not doing the same

And this is what the UK’s chief grifter, N. Farage, desires if he ever gets power. God forbid.

Let’s settle this, is Nigel Farage a racist?

Like if he is.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Starmer needs a very loud message ahead of the Labour Party Conference - we don't want #DigitalID + it won't even solve illegal working FGS!

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
