Refugees didn’t crash the economy. Refugees didn’t privatise the NHS. Refugees aren’t the reason billionaires are getting richer. Fear is being weaponised to distract people. 🎥 Full video on YouTube youtu.be/wSl8h1dd0hc

@PipsLemon @RichardJMurphy Blair is the neoliberal arsonist who poured petrol on the damage caused by Thatcher and lit a match. Now, he's saying we need more petrol. Nope, doing the same thing will not fix anything, for us. Neither will Farage, because that's still the same thing.

@RichardJMurphy What was “anti-democratic” about Blair’s commentary? He tackles the question of how (and why) Labour should try to win and retain power by solving the problems that, if unanswered, will push a disgruntled electorate into the arms of incompetents who promise big but deliver ruin.

@RichardJMurphy Exactly. Blair wheeled out the typical neoliberal argument - growth at all costs, cut pensions, lower the minimum wage etc. It’s clear what his agenda is and it isn't for greater good. Neoliberalism is not the only way, it has failed working people - we need an alternative now.

Trades Union Congress
Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT+ community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

@TheRealJamieKay Racism and the far-right. It's gone from being hidden to blatantly spoken and shouted in public.

What’s one thing in Britain that feels dramatically worse than 10 years ago?

Jeff Bezos thinks people are ‘vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you’re one of the richest people on earth and 1/3 of your warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent. You ARE the villain.

Gary Lineker, "I actually think that 80-90% of the country just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours" "They don't look at people of different religions, skin colours, beliefs, traits, and think badly of them" Who agrees with Gary True words to me

The most dystopian part of AI isn’t the technology itself. It’s the sheer amount of electricity and water being burned so corporations can automate things nobody asked to automate. Entire rivers diverted so an app can generate “funny medieval Breaking Bad images.” So LinkedIn users can produce motivational posts written in the tone of a traumatized flight attendant. We are constructing cathedrals of computation to eliminate the burden of having an original thought. And they keep selling this as progress. Meanwhile the actual physical world decays. Bridges collapse. Cities rot. Public transit looks post-apocalyptic. Young people can’t afford houses. But thank God the machine can generate 9,000 fake podcast clips per second. Civilizations used to build aqueducts and railways. Now we build data centers.

@Kyle_bergin10 @WatchReform @raelbrav Think you might be confused. Top 1% of tax payers is those who earn 180k to 200+. This figure is PAYE. How many millionaires pay PAYE - not many at all. If they do pay themselves a salary that is taxed, what about the income on assets like rent, profits, stocks - via tax havens

Amazing how every problem in Britain is supposedly caused by immigrants, woke students or trans people… never by billionaires, failed governments or corporate greed.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections? When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?

I am English. This is my country too. And I don’t want racism or thuggery. I don’t want MAGA Christian’s-fascism. I want a free, open and caring society where everyone is welcome.
