Labour has announced a crackdown on benefit fraud. Just like the Tories in 1992. And Labour in 1997. And the coalition in 2013. And the Tories in 2023. And Labour in 2024. And I've probably missed some, right?

"why don't we WAIT AND SEE what burnham does before we judge oh my days this country it just wants perfection give him a chance this is what happened with keir he didnt stand a chance" I love this response to "this cabinet is just more of the same". Smol bean PM part 2.

I like it when someone who earns £250k a year tells us on the TV, their voice breaking, their eyes cast downwards, that they're struggling to get by. You're just shit with money then aren't you, silly cunt, drop down from the top tier of Netflix and stop going directly to Mexico for your avocados.

I love it when a guy who has probably never earned more than £40k a year does this face and says "you do realise Elon Musk doesn't literally have a trillion dollars in his bank account, right?"

Did you know in other countries you don’t see ads for pharma drugs? Why? Because they’re not for profit. When you’re sick and go to the doctor, they prescribe what you need, and it’s paid for. We could have that. Instead, we get cage matches on the White House lawn from transphobic sacks of garbage.

This is the stuff that will see Sir Keir horsed out the door in a shower of scalding-hot media piss-balloons, by the way: you can be extremely crooked as Boris Johnson was, but you must never reveal that the whole thing is extremely crooked, like Johnson foolishly did.

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this. At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government. Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

As Hungary votes, would recommend this piece about how Viktor Orban has used public money to bankroll an international ultraconservative network - including Roger Scruton cafes and €10k a month for failed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin democracyforsale.substack.com/p/orbans-brits

What happens to Britain's radical right if Orbán loses?

Inside the money, power and patronage connecting Hungary and the British right

We need to do more than win in November. We need a massive blue wave. The only way to stop the MAGA shenanigans of the Trump regime is to win big, limit their power, and then do it again in 2028. Please follow the people on this list who are on the frontlines fighting for US. go.bsky.app/K6JGV3h

In April 2024, former Royal Marine James "Jim" Henderson, 33, from Cornwall, was killed in Gaza along with 6 other World Central Kitchen aid workers. He was working for the charity. The team had just unloaded over 100 tonnes of food aid when their clearly marked convoy was struck by Israeli drones

Found this 1969 #Earth Day poster. The message remains very relevant. Our #environmental problems are serious and our societies remain unsustainable. But it also inadvertently shows that we've made A LOT of progress too. Consider the smoke trails. They are not an exaggeration.

"Progress?", US poster warning against environmental pollution and degradation, published in preparation for the first Earth Day, 1969. On orange-red background, it shows a composite of a car traffic jam, a jet airliner ascending, trailing huge black stream of soot, and in the background, a factory spewing black smoke from its smokestacks, obscuring the sun. There is also a tilted dome of the Capitol or similar building in the background.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
