I'm so worried about Heba Muraisi who has now passed 66 days on hunger strike I fear PM Keir Starmer, Justice Secretary David Lammy and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will let Heba die in prison. Where is their humanity? 😭 #GazaGenocide

Our Right to peaceful protest is being slowly but surely dismantled. It concerned me when the Tories introduced them. But Labour have strengthened those laws which allow them to prevent protests

The enormity of the gaslighting, peppered with the buzzwords of RW ideology, is astounding.
Up is down, night is day.

And millions of MAGAs are thirsty for this deception as long as they get to keep spitting hate.
What a sick, demented bastard. A mother is dead, and this dickhead is making her part of his 2028 campaign platform 24 hours later.

Just learning from @supertanskiiii.bsky.social (on Insta) about the scale of image based abuse taking place on X.com (and elsewhere). We have been working with a leading specialist org to bring legal action for victims. But I also want all men who care about women to call this out as unacceptable.

We know people die at our border & in our asylum system at a horrifying rate, but shockingly the govt does not record how many, who, or how.

The police’s facial recognition algorithm has been shown to be flawed, racially biased and biased against women.

A system like that should be paused immediately until it can be properly fixed.

#trump uses the pretext of ‘national security’ to conduct illegal activities including murdering foreign nationals, sending innocent migrants to foreign concentration camps, invading a sovereign nation and as noted here, sanctioning judges of the ICC in The Hague who investigate war crimes.

From Washington to Europe, the same organisations keep appearing – Heritage, Heartland, Koch-linked groups – pushing identical anti-net zero scripts & climate change scepticism.

It’s a coordinated, well-funded project of fossil fuel money, think tanks, tech giants & political operatives

LBC are a disgrace. They give so much airtime to a party that has a handful of MP s yet give very little airtime to other parties such as the Liberal Democrats who have many more MP s than Reform UK .
20% of Mumsnet users may vote Reform but instead of focusing on why the majority 80% won’t vote Reform LBC continue on their crusade to promote Reform by dedicating an hour to a minority

So if you do something really unpopular that has a right wing vibe call them❗️🙄🙄🤦🏼‍♂️
80% of Mumsnet users do not intend to vote Reform.

But @lbc.co.uk is dedicating an entire hour on how "mumsnet users are turning to Reform"
