Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

They forced Dany Cotton Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade to retire because she followed their rules. Nobody who was actually responsible has been held to account. Firefighters are now paying a medical toll for that shit show.

How the hell does it cost £281,000 -£3,276,000 per year to care for a child! Stop these criminals!
England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions.

Private firms own 83% of homes.

Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child.

For-profit homes provide the worse care.

End privatisation scam.

Water Companies take the piss mostly but Thames Water just make me want to vomit. As of October 2024 they had debt of £16 million, surely the bosses are responsible for that! They do not deserve a rise or a bonus of any sort.
Thames Water plans to hike bosses' pay if Ofwat caps bonuses. Meanwhile, customers face rising bills, sewage spills, and poor service.

Instead of lining bosses’ pockets, invest in proper services and protecting our environment.

Holding Labour accountable is reasonable but that’s NOT what is happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK government, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Musk is doing what Russian bots have been doing for years, except he is doing it with no sanction. Nobody, no Government seems to be able to do anything about his lies.
Elon Musk has posted ***300 TIMES*** about UK "grooming gangs" in the last ten days.

Including: Calling for UK government officials to be hanged and jailed; demanding the removal of Keir Starmer as UK prime minister; suggesting Tommy Robinson be released from prison.
