Left leaning, against war, against blood sports. Support U.B.I. Believe that the NHS is the greatest endeavour that the Nation has ever undertaken.
Trump's plan to end Birthright citizenship. How far back are they going to go.
If a person is the child of an immigrant or grandchild even, say from Scotland or Germany, and that person has been found guilty of criminal acts, say fraud or sexual assault.
Shouldn't that person lose their citizenship

Rachel Reeves is expected to approve a third runway at Heathrow airport despite the fact it would wreck the country's climate ambitions and is highly unlikely to result in any GDP 'growth'.

Brilliant...

EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP🚨- guys the NHS is in a state of absolute emergency. We’re running a massive campaign calling for change to safeguard lives and we need your help. If every person who saw this could donate £1, we’d hit our goal 🤞. Can we do this?

The world’s richest 1% captured nearly two-thirds of all new wealth created in 2024, while millions still struggle to afford basic necessities. Inequality isn’t just rising; it’s skyrocketing.

Anyone who gives two f- about antisemitism in any serious way must recognise that no single actor has done more damage in the fight against antisemitism than Israel itself. Their cynicism knows no end.

We can rebuild the NHS without privatisation. We do not need to involve private companies in the delivery of patient-facing public healthcare.

The only people who benefit from NHS privatisation are private company shareholders 🚨

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

This is what Apollo-astronaut Edgar Mitchell said about the way his consciousness was influenced by his space flights. His words are so strong, so heartfelt and straightforward that I can only agree with him. We need to reject all forms of nationalism, racism and xenophobia.

The same people that called. For protestors to be locked up for wanting to protect the climate, that called for strikers to be shot and flew back to vote to cut benefits for people experiencing poverty. Are the same people protesting having to pay their #inheritancetax

This is a ridiculous article, downplaying legitimate concerns. The piece does not mention Streeting’s extensive donations from those associated with the private health sector🚨

This is a war not *just* against the living planet, not *just* against the common good, but against the very nature of material reality. The ultimate expression of power is to say "night is day", and have others believe you.
