Tax or fine? The oil companies should pay for the damage caused by extreme climate events as well as using their profits for reducing the price.
@rembetis.bsky.social · 21h agoThe oil companies made £93 BILLION profits in 3 months, while the planet burns. Obscene. Wholesale change required, and an immediate and ongoing massive tax on oil company profits. www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...
Wouldn't it be fantastic if every Reform/Restore supporter was magically (and forever) transported back to the year 1300? They would love it. No human rights or NHS. Serfdom to Farage type overlords. No benefit system or diversity. Capital punishment. And the rest of us can live in peace in 2026.
Isn't it ironic that Nigel Farage hates the BBC & plans to Privatise it when BBC news are one of Reform's biggest supporters. BBC news sets the nation against the boat people trying to claim asylum by continually targeting them which is what drives votes up for Reform. Only GBNews are more devout.
BlueSky new CEO said he doesn't want BS to be just one group of people that are progressives. The community that has built up here found a sanctuary from X's fascism. Please don't destroy that. If you fuck with us, we will leave. You will then have X2 that noone wants to be a part of. 😒
Why hasn't Farage been arrested yet? He should be prosecuted on multiple charges.
Farrukh@implausibleblog.bsky.social · 5d agoNigel Farage (2016), "It's legitimate to say.. If people feel that voting doesn't change anything" "Then violence is the next step"
British fascists plan to put medical staff in prison, ban vaccines, make it illegal to display the LGBTI+ flag, repatriate immigrants and their children (meaning non whites), & execute people (they dislike). It is absolutely terrifying. ANDY BURNHAM please PROSCRIBE RESTORE BRITAIN & REFORM UK RT
Why does Farage want to end the NHS? It could be this... www.opendemocracy.net/en/is-nigel-...
Is Nigel Farage talking bollocks about the NHS?
Nigel Farage is using his experience of testicular cancer to condemn the NHS. A fellow survivor - now a doctor - takes the UKIP leader to task.

Has any activist thought what are we going to do now that protest is illegal? Yes? Watch the video Richard made, a couple of posts down. Before we lose our last right, dissent, you need to let the new PM know if he doesn't stop taking our rights away & give them back, Labour will be unelectable.
The power of dissent mustn't be underestimated. Govts including our own, are taking away our human rights, so we must make use of the right of dissent in every legal way we can. If we don't we will lose that too. We have no right to support, because of Proscription. If we lose dissent, we die.💀
Despite effective demonstration now being illegal in the UK, we CAN change the world.
Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · 4d agoYou're not powerless; it's up to all of us to change the world a little bit youtu.be/RdzbHjJ7Z0w?... Feeling angry, frustrated and alienated is reasonable right now. What is going on around us should make us feel like that. But we can do things to change the world.
Effective Protest is now illegal in the UK.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 5d agoIn April, the Starmer government passed an Act of Parliament enabling the police to shut down any protest they deem to have a “cumulative” impact on the community. The only protests that have ever succeeded are those with a cumulative impact. Effective protest is now illegal.
Count Binface is more serious than you think. But even if he wasn't all people in Clacton who are not fascist need to vote for him to stop Farage getting back in.

Reform loses Mayoral Election in Greater Manchester spectacularly. Things in Clacton look bleak for Farage as he faces the prospect of losing his seat on 13th August and possible prosecution. The Game is up.

And yet he hasn't been arrested yet. This raises the question do the Police, electoral commission, and the Govt turn a blind eye to complaints about Mr Farage and Reform UK?
Kindness towards animals and kindness towards people come from the same place.
Why are Reform, a racist, homophobic, fascist ideology, criminally funded Party being allowed to stand for election in Clacton on 13th August? The electoral commission has some explaining to do. Surely they must at least suspend the Party from elections until the Police finish investigating them?
'For years, Nigel Farage could dismiss every scandal as a “lefty media witch hunt”. That works brilliantly when the only people asking questions are journalists. More difficult when the Met Police, National Crime Agency, the Electoral Commission and HMRC start getting involved." via Keith Anderson
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
The illegal war in Iran should do a lot more than "concern" Andy Burnham. And if he's not holding back - when is he going to tell Donald Trump that the UK wants nothing to do with this war and to ban the US military from UK soil?
Mayor Mamdani just fulfilled a major campaign promise: slashing fines, fees and red tape for small businesses for small businesses in NYC! And his announcement speech was, as always, perfection. Because of course it was.
This is a historic moment: the first time the rights of Nature have entered the UK parliamentary process. The Bill recognises Nature as a legal subject, reorders the hierarchy of rights, creates a duty of care towards Nature and embeds Nature’s rights into UK decision-making across all sectors.
At last Reform UK is being investigated by the Police. 🥳💚💚💚 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
