Media needs stricter regulation. No more algorithmically determined sensationalised opinion pieces for clicks and ad revenue. No more shitty relentless hounding of people with article after article after article. No more throwing vulnerable, minoritised people under the bus for bigoted agendas.

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

'only 14% of our rivers are in good ecological status' the regulator is not fit for purpose
We Own It@weownit.org.uk · 5d ago🚨BREAKING NEWS The regulator has provisionally approved more water bill increases. This comes at a time when we are dealing with hosepipe bans; 10,000 homes don't have water in London; and only 14% of our rivers are in good ecological status Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water.
This is what healthcare privatisation will do to our country, and why we need to fund, staff and upgrade our NHS
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 4d agoA recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

josh simons, director of labour together, the organisation behind keir starmer and right wing nonce apologism and genocide enabling, stepped aside for burnham to become prime minister he is not the messiah for cost of living, environmental and geo political crises we face he's just more of the same
รℓσαɳε ℓყรɓεƭɦ 🏳️🌈@sloanelysbeth.bsky.social · 4d agoeveryone acting surprised that andy burnham, noted blairite, has absolutely nothing to say about this absurd heat. the man is a neoliberal. that means he puts companies, corporations, and vested interests before so much as giving a passing thought to the public.
Labour is a smoke screen to distract the working class. They are the establishment, perpetuating horrible conditions across this country, in the pockets of billionaires, corporations and lobby groups. What has labour done for workers? Absolutely nothing.
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 4d ago
interesting seeing labour politicians using the same language as zack polanski. first burnham says 'rip off' and now sadiq khan says 'bold action'.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 6d agoIt's now been confirmed that this summer will be the hottest on record. For those opposing bold action on the climate crisis - you're not just putting lives and the planet at risk today, but dooming future generations.
sorry i dont really understand why andy burnham needs to go on a cost of living tour of the country when he has representatives of all of those counties and regions in one convenient place to tell him about this what a waste of taxpayer money

No excuse for abuse, but this ruling class of people in power has been systematically eradicating rights for minoritised groups while getting drunk on taxpayer discounted booze and voting for only their own pay rises, all the while taking millions in donation from billionaires and lobbyists.
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 7d agoMPs shouldn’t face abuse. Neither should their staff – but here’s what we deal with every day | Estelle Warhurst
Freezing rents is just the first step to abolishing the deeply exploitative landlord class in this country. We need rent controls. More social housing. More affordable housing. More housing in general. More modern housing. More insulation. More heat protection. More heat pumps. More solar.
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 6d agoIf we'd frozen peoples rent in 2022 - the average UK household would be saving £2400 every year. And saving the Government £2bn a year! Any Government who is serious about ending Rip Off Britain would bring in rent controls now.
Deeply unsurprised by this bullshit from the man who has zero ethics
