Weary of wealth governing the world. Of corporate greed and corruption overriding kindness and compassion. Politicians promise everything but wage war and exploit once elected. Dividing us by wealth, class, gender, race and religion. We’re one people, with the same needs. There is a different way📌

The claimants allege that Shell has known about the dangers of fossil fuels since 1965, yet kept expanding and misleading the public.

Survivors who lost everything are demanding accountability and justice for the harm already done.

So, Reform would rocket-boost austerity, slash welfare *but not taxes*, cancel net zero progress, do mass deportations, huff out of the ECHR (torching the Brexit deal and our human rights)…
And to top it all off, there’d be this gem of US-funded christofascist authoritarianism on offer too.
Grim AF.
If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate
NEW: How a U.S. anti-abortion group has quietly positioned itself as a powerbroker between the Trump administration and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...
