When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

Might be able to afford some food! 👌 BBC News - Chancellor to cut tariffs on some food and freeze fuel duty to give families 'breathing space' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

Similar story where we are. 1-bed flats are worst affected, with many listed below their 2008 prices. Still no viewings, AFAIK. Demand is non-existent because newbuilds have service charges a third of our £6k pa. Incidentally, @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social, that SC makes our flat unmortgageable.

Has he had magic mushrooms?

The Pentagon just approved the testing of DEWs, “heat wave weapons” at the border. We went from “Build the Wall” to “Microwave the People”… What dystopian chapter of American history is this?! SICK. FUCKING. BASTARDS. 😎✨

Monstrous beyond all reckoning. The US is using remote sensing *designed for humanitarian purposes* for the opposite purpose, potentially drowning civilians en masse. Trump hates Somalis. His troops appear to be exploiting the weather to help slaughter them. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Time flies, so do angels.

They're having a great time!

With my first self-representation at the upper tribunal coming up the following day, I’m excited to attend this event the night before If you follow me here, feel free to come and say hello. I’ll be the chap not in a suit (and tall + using crutches)

“People are demanding action on rents, the cost of the climate emergency and about how we can bring people's bills down and yet what we're about to see is just the same old.” Hannah Spencer on the government's approach to Wednesday's Budget, speaking at the Cost of Living rally.

Presumably, this has come from the same branch of English proud boys that declared the Royals had converted to Islam because they owned rugs.

Reminder that they also did this to Zack Polanski during the Holborn & St. Pancras by-election. Can't help but wonder that was a test run for future elections, such as the one that's just taken place in Brazil

Yes, we’ve all seen the meme to know how that works Please note: other foriegn tax havens are available (and used)

How cool is this?

Is this a hoax? 😂

The growth of inequality, driven by the exponential rise in wealth & assets owned by the very rich, is accelerating and will keep accelerating if we don't do something about it. #TaxWealthNotWork

Brilliant win for progressive politics in Brazil. Anyone who says the slide to the right, in world affairs is inevitable - check this..:) www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

This is how you defeat the far right: “There was a repulsion so strong that people organised without parties to defeat it.”

“But we are pretending to do a good thing and people will fall for it” Labour comms or is it cons

Every time they ‘tinker’ with the system, more people end up poorer

"The 66-year-old, who lives on the street, has also been charged with making threats to damage or destroy property... He was remanded into custody... Caswell was the Liberal Democrat councillor for the Goldington Ward...". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Go left.

Launching in 2027, the Cooler is an add-on that turns your Cosy heat pump into air conditioning. Instead of trailing exhaust hoses out of windows or spending thousands on traditional air con, the Cooler connects directly to your Cosy (can be added within a few hours to a new or existing set-up!)

What difference would a Wealth Tax make? Well, according to the latest modelling from @ippr.org it could fun... 👨‍⚕️130,000 more care workers 🏡 Build 90,000 new council houses + 21,000 specialist supported homes for older or disabled people Oh, and... 1/2 🧵 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Please, if you still use FB, consider closing your account. Your presence there contributes in a small way to it's efforts to corrupt politics, globally. It is part of the problem, Meta is part of the problem, Zuckerberg is part of the problem.

“Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” 💯

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

I do not think it should be controversial to say that the world’s more notable far right politicians - Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Le Pen, Farage, take your pick - are actively evil people with evil projects, pursued by evil means. Of course they are, they openly revel in it.

MPs debate the Remediation Bill tomorrow. We've told Angela Rayner: Labour must take control and make homes fully safe and sellable. We need to see real change. Read our meeting report and call to action. Email your MP today ⬇️ endourcladdingscandal.org/posts/our-me...

There is no shortage of money; why on earth some news organisations hell-bent on giving it all to American weapons manufacturers, I do not know.

War Wankers want to make the poor poorer to justify increasing the military budget. The UK is the SIXTH biggest defence spender in the WORLD Poverty is a political choice

How refugees are created:

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

We have to stop this juggernaut of digital fascism.

Finally got my hands on a copy of British Vogue’s November issue! Never gets old seeing disabled joy in the world’s premier fashion mag. (That I wrote it is a bonus.)

Compartmentation prevents fire spread between flats, they said. "A woman in her 20s is in hospital after jumping from a balcony to escape a fire at the Ochre Yards flats on Worsdell Drive in Gateshead" www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

Yissss

The difference Lula made. Piped water. Square meals. Opportunities for poor kids

Imagine having to provide evidence that your amputated leg hasn't miraculously returned, every three years? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Conflating the financial woes facing our economy repeatedly with disabled people and the 'welfare' bill has a gradual impact on the views of the general public toward the disabled & chronic illness community. If you want to see how, please watch this: www.channel4.com/programmes/t...

More shocking displays by Bolsonaro supporters in the last 24 hours: voters wearing T-shirts that say “long live fascism,” doing a Nazi salute when entering the polls, and a white man walking a Black man on a chain at a pro-Bolsonaro gathering in Rio de Janeiro.

He's right on the money.
