There’s little to be gained by replacing one stooge of capital and the state with another. One who is inherently dishonest with his claims for the NHS. @SocialistHealth #restoreourNHS

This young woman addresses the impact of gender ideology on our institutions, our minds and our children. Huge respect to her.
"My speech symbolises the fact that not all students - and not all young women - are willing to going along with this absolute LIE that men and women are, somehow, interchangeable categories." Watch my interview with @Alexarmstrong on @GBNEWS

In 2023 the Labour Party reported a deficit of £0.85m compared with a surplus of £2.7m in 2022. Behind this figure is a dramatic increase to (mainly individual) donations, of £10.5m and an increase to running costs of £6m.

Austerity is unnecessary and Labour shouldn’t be doing this.
Six ways to fill Labour’s fiscal “black hole” youtu.be/eo-cgUtD9Lw?si=mm7U… Labour claims it has a “black hole” of £22 billion to fill in the government’s finances. They should stop making a fuss. Doing so would be easy. There are at least six – and maybe more – ways to do it.

“Another world is not only possible, but essential” #RestoreNatureNow
Asad Rehman, "Our planet, the magnificient web of life, that provides the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat.. Now hangs by a thread, under constant threat" @chilledasad100 #RestoreNatureNow "It started 500 years ago when colonisers stripped land and people of resources.. It broke our connection not only with land but with each other.. And has left half the world still struggling to survive" @WarOnWant "Just imagine a world where nations come together not to wage war, not to drop bombs on innocent civilians, but to fight together for the survival of our planet and its people.. Another world is not only possible, but essential"

Deserting the Tory sinking ship and getting on board with the commercial capitalist values of @UKLabour
'What Keir has done...is taken all the left out of the Labour party, and he's come out with a set of values and principles in complete alignment with my views as a commercial capitalist.'

Looks as if @UKLabour is trying to find an excuse for losing North Islington. #GE2024
Corbyn's Labour competitor in Islington North: 'Privatisation of healthcare is very, very important and it’s about what the private sector can do to prove its worth to the public sector'

Re the Horizon disaster, It's not the first time incompetence and waste of public money has occurred with #Fujitsu. Government might have recalled the failed Court Systems' catastrophe in the early 2000s with the Libra Project: theguardian.com/politics/200….

The Government Committee convened to review the Libra Project stated in 2003 "This is not the first time that Fujitsu has let taxpayers down so badly."

Shamefully, #BAE in Bristol supplies components and technology for military hardware and software that is being used by Israel to kill Palestinians. The UK companies arming - and the people resisting - the occupation of Palestine declassifieduk.org/the-uk-co…

Around 55% of the BAE workforce are members of trade unions. We call on these workers to unite in solidarity with the people of Palestine against the murderous deployment of their work.

This is bizarre. Starmer’s Labour has wrought despair and havoc on its socialist members… Keir Starmer chooses Ode to Joy as music to 'sum up' Labour - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

And to eulogise about the sense of freedom he felt when the Berlin Wall came down? Is he not aware of the economic catastrophe wrought on East Germany once “free markets” destroyed their economy?

This analysis is just as relevant now as it was three years ago following the election of @Keir_Starmer as leader of @UKLabour
Replying to @Keir_Starmer
@Keir_Starmer chose not to publish details of the donors to his leadership campaign until the polling had closed. Why was that? Let's look at the donations and the donors.

In 2023 Q1 and Q2, two thirds of the £8.9m in donations to @UKLabour came from two donors- Lord Sainsbury and Gary Lubner. Sainsbury backed Labour before withdrawing support during the Leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. He is now supporting Labour again.

Never Again
"The world said never again and wrote rules to protect civilians [...] The greatest sacrilege is that we are allowing these war crimes to continue." Our Director @chilledasad100 spoke to @timesradio about the UK govt's criticisms of a march for peace on armistice day.
