When was the last time you read a positive post about UK politics? Well you may want to sit down for this.

I think this is one of the most professionally prepared, well balanced, and knowledgeable Commons Treasury C'tees ever constituted. OBR seems shocked at the depth and seriousness of questions.

Jasmine Crockett: “More than 50% of the people currently being detained have NO criminal records. Zero. Nada. They are our neighbors, our friends, and they contribute to the fabric of this country. They are what make this country great — NOT your thuggish ICE agents spitting on our Constitution."

This is the main thing the resident doctor strike action is about, not the pay - though that helps retain doctors.

If resident doctors cannot get posts, which is the case currently, they cannot progress and may leave our NHS.

Down the line we will have a shortage senior doctors such as consultants
This year, 30,000 doctors applied for only 10,000 training posts. These are highly trained professionals who want long term NHS careers, yet thousands are being denied the ability to progress in their careers. Many are left moving between short-term roles or leaving.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

This shouldn't even be a debate 🙄 Ban it.

Whilst you're at it, ban funding/donations from external sources/Stink Tanks/ people who don't pay tax or live here and cap how much can be spent during elections

But this useless Government won't 😕

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

The White House wants us to believe:
President Donald Trumps health is fine. It has never been better. He is the most fit President in US History.

Donald Trump is such a perfection of a specimen, he is aging backwards.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

A wooden dome from a palace in Torrijos, Spain. It was built in 1490. I had to lie on the floor to get this shot.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

So Israel/Gaza was a 21 point solution that gave Israel everything

And

Ukraine/Russia is a 28 point solution that give Russia everything

See the pattern here?

NATO time to invite Ukraine to join and go take care of Russia because the U.S. has been compromised by an AH

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.
