How can you keep #YvettteCooper in your team, @andyburnham.bsky.social ?? She went against migrants for years as Home Sec and then turned #DirectAction into #terrorism. The world knows #Israel has committed #genocide. We support #PalestineAction. End this crime!

The UK turned itself into a fucking backwater when it left the EU. Not content with that, the government is shutting Jodrell bank in favour of research with more "impact". It's possible this country is run by the most mediocre-minded morons on the planet.
Farage has said he thinks it’s “absolutely nuts” for CO2 to be considered a pollutant, while Badenoch says candidates aren’t welcome in the Conservative Party that support net zero. Leaders of the civilisational collapse cult.
