The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

If thousands of us stand up and say "I support #PalestineAction", what is the government going to do? Lock us all up for "terrorism" offences?
This is where we show them how solidarity works.

🧵 1/ Not enough people are linking Reform & MAGA.

It’s time to correct that by talking about Nigel Farage, MAGA money, and a US PR firm with direct ties to Bannon.

It’s not patriotism and pints it’s a shared plan and international far-right coordination.

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

Shame on Greater Manchester Council on two levels. I council I admire on many levels but disgusted with on these.

1. Throwing out homeless from their tents around the town hall. That doesn't solve the problem it just moves it on.

2. Binning the tents is unnecessary waste and landfill.

SHAMEFUL
