I’ve never wanted a horse to rear up and throw its rider to land very hard and ugly.. but I have now👇🏼😡
This is Richard Smith of the South Durham Hunt and he thinks it’s ok to hit a horse over the head. Make this ‘man’ famous.

Well done to the BBC for standing up to Donald Trump and refusing to pay him compensation.

Today I stood with Starbucks workers in my district to say: enough is enough. They are fighting for living wages and fair schedules while Starbucks’ new CEO Brian Niccols makes $98 million a year. I’ll be supporting these workers until they get the contract they deserve.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.

The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

Support independent media.

I'm Ali Al-Madhoun from the Gaza Strip. I want your support to repair my mobile. It needs 200 dollars because mobile prices are high because of the war. Donate me even 20 dollars, please.🙏

Journalism isn’t a crime. Killing Journalists is.

274 Journalists have been assassinated by Israel in Gaza in the last two years

On 7 Oct, Israel banned ALL foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

Join us for a march, passing the silent vigil where the names of murdered journalists will be read

This pedophilic regime has got to go.

Elected officials, media, corporations, judges, universities … need to see this administration for what it is—a sinking ship full of rats.

We have the power to pressure the people in power.

We're in Newcastle with PMUK's Ian Gregg - former chairman of Greggs.
Speaking in a personal capacity, he said: "We hope the Chancellor uses this Budget to raise taxes on the wealthiest people first - who can most afford it - instead of ordinary people who can’t."

This government is considering introducing more private finance into our NHS.

They're promising to learn from past mistakes about PFI, but this promise has been made time and time again.

Sign our petition and tell them you don't want any more private finance in the NHS. Link in the first comment.

18,000 NHS admin staff, managers to be made redundant.

Treasury gives £1bn to cover redundancy cost, rest from the NHS budget.

Which NHS services will be cut or privatised? No assessment of social cost.

Part of the Streeting plan to appease corporations, become the next Labour leader.
Thousands of NHS staff to be made redundant after funding agreed
The government says the jobs will go in order to slash "unnecessary bureaucracy" and ensure taxpayers' money is being "spent wisely".

Since the sham ceasefire was announced, Israel killed 271 Palestinians in Gaza, including 39 women and 107 children.

What we need right now is a ceasefire. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust
