This is a dangerous rewriting of history What put Hitler in power was the foolish idea that he could be used temporarily to counter the left If there is a similarity to our current predicament, it is there, in the hyping of the far right to prevent seeking radical alternatives
Corbyn’s new party is designed to put Farage in No10 ... Sultana, Lali and others are using the same playbook/rhetoric that the KPD used to pave Hitler's path to victory... I am not exaggerating ... 1/... thenewworld.co.uk/paul-mason-cor…
A minor, petty gripe, but listing London rather than Birmingham irks me. #AVFC
A late start back home in the UK but where will you be watching tonight’s preseason clash from, Villans? 🌎
THIS is why these glasses or any version should NOT exist. I VIVIDLY remember this interaction, I had no idea I was being filmed. This was to be sent to me tonight after I was recognized. This is disturbing. Makes me sick physically, this is violating & WRONG. Fuck you.
introducing Waves, camera glasses for creators. record in stealth. livestream all day. pre-order now.
But, of course. The logical conclusion of all the Exclusives Starmer has done with The Sun. This type of “strategy” is what will hand Reform the keys to Number 10
Starmer's new comms chief : a former Sun editor and current chief operating officer of Murdoch's News UK.

Wealth redistribution is good for growth There is overwhelming evidence that redistribution to ensure a fairer distribution of income and wealth is extremely positive for economic growth theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
I've seen the video of the Union Jack girl all excited about speaking at a Tommy Robinson event. Her family should be referred to Prevent.
Another petty counterproductive move from Starmer. Punishing MPs who stood against a widely unpopular policy won’t endear him to the public or improve discipline in the party. It just makes him look like he hasn’t learnt a thing from the disability cuts. Because he hasn’t.
Simple question for Brits to consider. Why are politicians trying to get you to hate and despise #disabled people?
Two versions of “school readiness.” ⬅️ One demands stillness, silence, no joy. ➡️ The other is playful, loving, colourful, child-centred. I know which one I’d choose. Which one would you? #PlayMatters #SchoolReadiness #LetThemPlay #EarlyYears #ChildDevelopment
GLD was never meant to be high-stakes. Yet 75% became a target, not a tool. Child development isn’t linear. It’s messy, magical, and personal. Let’s stop using GLD to judge, and start using it to understand and support. #EarlyYears #GLD #PlayMatters #LetThemBeLittle
Could you live on £7000 a year AND deal with disabilities that restricted your ability to work? Thats the reality of yesterday’s government vote on disability benefits. A third of the minimum wage….

And the Universal Credit bill has passed. Some of the sickest people in the country will suffer needlessly more now. There is no justification, no excuse. Just ugly, cruel choices by ministers too cowardly to tax the wealthy rather than cut the poor. A shameful day for Labour.
“28 million people in Britain are now working to pay the wages and benefits of 28 million others,” Kemi Badenoch says of ‘welfare’. “The rider is as big as the horse.” Ugly, divisive language from the Leader of the Opposition that would be suited to a far right fringe event.
Children in England are facing 'Dickensian levels' of poverty The report found many children are experiencing poor-quality, overcrowded and unsafe housing, as well as frequent moves and long waits for temporary accommodation. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Thought the guy was the Tory to begin with. Jesus wept.

We are not spending too much on welfare We are refusing to tax the rich We are refusing to invest in the public We are choosing neoliberalism
