This afternoon an incredibly important principle is being debated in the House of Lords

We know people die at our border & in our asylum system at a horrifying rate, but shockingly the govt does not record how many, who, or how.

Of course this won't happen but imagine what an absolute blessing it would be for any city if the million biggest assholes in it left.

Very important journalism. Probably not a suprise but it matters - any councils leaving these flag displays up knowing full well where they came from can no longer hide behind plausible deniability.
It's not a grassroots working class movement.

"Wherever we looked for prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler."

Essential research shows that particulate pollution—generated from motor fuels exhaust, tire wear, wildfires, factories, etc—is associated with dementia. More evidence that it is in the interest of public health to reduce pollution. (Gift link)

I made an infographic map. Oxford's Congestion Charge scheme (from 29th Oct) is not like most congestion charge schemes, because you can get to most streets in the city without being charged. My impression is a lot of people haven't realised this.

😡This is madness!

The government is shelling out millions to Deloitte to advise on bringing PFI back into the NHS.

PFI deals signed under Blair are still damaging our NHS today, yet Wes Streeting wants to set another ticking time bomb under our NHS.

We have to stop this.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Each week since Labour’s absurd ban, more and more people have held signs to call on the UK government to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

On August 9th, hundreds will join together to oppose this attack on freedom of expression.

Ahead of the expected proscription of Palestine Action - the first time a protest group has been legally redefined as terrorist - I went through the Hansard of the 2000 Act they're being banned under. Turns out MPs were assured the law wouldn't be applied this way. Thread 🧵🔽

1. Starmer was warned and warned that his benefits cuts were not just cruel and unfair, but a political disaster. He dismissed the warnings, even this week, as no more than "noises off". Now, as the disaster materialises, he's desperately backtracking.
Here's an idea: how about listening? 🧵
