These groups aren’t protecting anyone. They are exploiting fear to intimidate people of colour and normalise street harassment under the guise of public safety.

FIFA has decided to take no action against Israel.
President says "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues."
FIFA has and still bans Russia.
FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

Why don’t media outlets like @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social & @skynewsrss.bsky.social & #ITVNews inform its viewers that painting colours on roads, bollards, roundabouts etc. breaks the Highways Act 1980?
And holders of public office supporting painting, commit misconduct in Public Office

Brexiters/Reform don’t give a seconds thought about the environment. Ever since 2016 they’ve been parroting “we want our country back” while the product of their stupid obsession is dirty water and air pollution.

From dirty water to wildlife protections, the environmental cost of Brexit only gets higher
Britain’s promises of a post-Brexit green revolution have unravelled, with protections for wildlife, water and air weaker now than at any point in recent decades

Car boot this morning - only 2 flag shaggers. And it was a huge turnout because of the weather.
Don’t believe the hype about ‘flags everywhere’. In a rural, economically restricted & educationally hampered area this is significant.
There’s usually about 8-10 of them.
Reform are not winning !

Your #NHS is about to be transformed. And not in a good way.
- get rid of healthwatch
- get rid of Foundation Trust (FT) governors.
Removes local voices and a great means to ensure FTs are doing what they need to in one fair swoop.

A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?

Macron to the UK:
"Never cede to the temptation of populism which is the denial of science or a travesty of the facts. Populists sold you a response which is through nationalist withdrawal. Budgetary, immigration, growth problems from 9 years ago. Were they solved by Brexit? No."

This is what a real leader looks like.
No sensatiinalism, no fear mongering, no populism.
Just truth.
Irregular migration, not illegal migration. Only a court of law can determine illegality.

"Brexiteers promised leaving the EU would make it easier to stop illegal immigration. It's the exact opposite because for a decade now there has been no legal agreement between the EU & the UK. This is an incentive to attempt dangerous crossings"

Thinking about not #vaccinating against #Measles ? It can kill, cause blindness and more.
It’s on the rise due to misinformation starting in #America and spreading globally.

Measles cases in the US reach 33-year high
It is the latest milestone in the ongoing outbreak of a disease that was once thought to be eliminated in the US.

Currently reading the executive summary of the #NHS 10 year plan alongside the full 168 plan itself.
It is clear the document strategists have no actual health or social care senior experience. Nor the MPs instructing them.
This is what’s going to happen.

Struggling to get to sleep? Need some help?
Then read the 10 year #NHS plan. 168 pages of utter garbage.
Essentially, it’s just a new NHS app & more privatisation.
Fails to accept the need to #RejoinEU - which would give us easy access to a huge workforce & GDP growth to pay for everything.

Govt's 10 year NHS Plan deepens privatisation.
Govt "will enter discussions enter with private providers".
Pushes PFI. For every £1 investment public purse repays £6 or more. NHS already suffering previous PFI.
Corporate profits guaranteed. We pay more for less.
Say NO to privatisation.
