I call upon my MP, on all those in positions of influence and all people of the UK to take a stand against this savagery.

Not in our name. We demand an end to these war crimes.

Repost if you stand against this genocide.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Privatisation has failed. It is time to renationalise.

Water
Power
Royal Mail
Rail
National Grid
Telecoms

Everything that we are going to use every day forever, we don't want to rent it at ripoff prices.

We want to own it.

I'm so old, I remember when nationalised Royal Mail delivered the post twice a day with stamps at an affordable price. Then it was sold off and 'the superior efficiency of the private sector' kicked in.

Last Friday, I presented a petition opposing the government’s decision to raise the £2 bus fare cap by 50% in January 2025.

Affordable bus travel is a lifeline during the cost-of-living crisis.

Let’s keep it accessible for all. Sign the petition here: chng.it/BSY2mhgb8y

🚨Everyone should watch this important film from Liberty

The Governments action this week is “a concerning disregard for the rule of law & goes against recent statements by the Gov’t that they would NOT abuse the use of secondary legislation”

Liberty will be back in court later this week

There is no excuse for not deprivatisating Royal Mail.

It was a Starmer pledge. It's a popular policy.

These guarantees are worthless, ask Cadbury workers.

One of the ICC arrest warrant judges that Netanyahu is calling Hamas supporters is a 94-year-old holocaust survivor called Theodor Meron. He has previously presided over the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. I say no more.
