Plaid Cymru’s Crown Estate Wales Bill has just passed its final stage in the House of Lords.

@llinosmedi.bsky.social will now push this Bill forward in the House of Commons and demand that Labour make time for it.

Let’s ensure the profits from our resources benefit our communities.

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.

That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

If people in every state want to join Minneapolis, plan and collaborate on plans to support vulnerable people in your neighbourhoods and communities. This general strike is backed by the AFL-CIO. If enough people join in, it could be one of the most important and effective protests of our lifetime.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.

Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

Newspapers have painted a version of London to fit their own biases, often veering into the absurd.

Even if the data show progress on crime or safety, a narrative of fear can overshadow the facts.

We appreciate that the government has made huge strides in working to deliver the Hillsborough Law.

It is in that spirit that @andyburnham.bsky.social and I are calling on them to withdraw their amendment ahead of Monday’s debate to find a solution acceptable to all sides.

Emily Thornberry is talking about international affairs and justice.

She talks about "a little thing called democracy."

We're all old enough to remember when she supported Labour enabling an ongoing genocide.

Green MPs support the Hillsborough Law being enacted in full — including Ian Byrne’s amendments to make all public officials, including intelligence officers, truly accountable.

Justice delayed, is justice denied.

Wales has brought in rules to sack politicians who deliberately lie.

Under the rules Politicians who repeat lies can be put to a vote and removed

Of course Westminster and the BBC screamed this rule was 'terrible'

I doubt many who work there would last 1 day with these rules

This is astonishing, really

21 per cent of the Premier League’s history has had the City case hanging over it

That extends to 48.4 per cent if you go back to 2009-10 and the first season the charges relate to.
