There are Tory MPs who live just 30 minutes from Parliament but still make taxpayers fund their second private homes in London - mortgages, bills, furniture, the lot. They bang on about cutting spending, yet happily rinse the public purse for their own comfort. #ukpolitics

Highly paid FT editors advise UK govt to cut welfare spending; hurt the disabled, sick. poor, old.

Silence on redistribution of wealth; higher wages, reducing corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich,

It is class war and working class is losing it.

💥 Well how about that.

After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army…

… it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included.

A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform.

How times change…

Thank f*** we’ve got a real patriot in Starmer, standing up for Britain and defending democracy in Europe. Meanwhile, the Tories spent years kissing up to Trump and Putin, gutting our defences, and selling us out. Absolute traitors. Now we’ve got a leader who actually gives a damn. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 #ukpolitics

We have exceeded 1700 signatures now on our media regulation petition.

(1701 to be exact, an interesting number to me, so I had to get the image).

Please keep sharing the petition.

We have increased signatures by over 3.5% so far today!

We can do this!

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.
