I love when Polanski and the Green Party (clearly the best option we have) bring attention to issues such as this. The lack of safe routes are horrible, but this touches after conditions worsened and deaths increased with huge investment in police crackdowns in Calais. youtu.be/s3Va5lUvwgs?...
How UK Border Policy Is Putting Migrants In DangerYouTube video by Bold Politics with Zack Polanskiyoutu.beHarris lost because of the economy (K-shaped, wealth inequality) under the then-current Democratic administration, and Gaza. AOC has answers to both, and both will be blamed on incumbent Trump. Stop saying Democrats lose because they are women. AOC should run for president.

A good summary of many of the main ways in which the UK government is complicit in the genocide in Sudan, committed by the RSF backed by the UAE. youtu.be/r-iSjeYya9g?... Two things Burnham's goverment must state categorically: 1. Israel is committing war crimes. 2. The UAE is arming the RSF.
Will The UK Sit Back And Watch A MASSACRE In SudanYouTube video by Novara Mediayoutu.beBurnham is pretending he isn't even sure that the IDF has committed TWO war crimes. Encouraging but non-binding words about ending trade w/ illegal settlements. Otherwise empty electoral posturing without acknowledgement of war crimes and the resulting legal obligations. youtu.be/Npb29pJms7w?...

Remarkable that Amnesty seems to be able to criticise every government on Earth (with budgets of billions), but can't criticise some wealthy British TERs. The consensus seems to be it is not Amnesty deciding that trans rights are a less important fight, but that our libel laws are so censorious.
Kieran HurleyIt's class how British libel laws basically mean that you can get anyone to retract anything they say about you or anything you're involved with ever as long as you are rich enough. This is free speech, to me
A huge failings of this government. Carbon emissions increase while fossil fuel use continues. Think of the wait for the two-child benefit cap to be lifted, PIP removed for so many, foreign aid cuts and colossal cuts to benefits as supposedly the only revenue source for increased defence spending.
George MonbiotDespite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Keeping Farage out of the House of Commons wasn't a priority for Labour in the 2024 General Election, even when they were heading for an obvious landslide. In the upcoming by-election, surely nothing will stand away of this bulwark against fascism throwing everything they have at achieving this.
badly drawn bee 🐝Hey remember when Labour removed Farage's opposition in Clacton by pulling all support? www.theguardian.com/politics/art...
An Israeli government source told pro-Netanyahu rag Israel Hayom that the occupation military will maintain: "the pace of targeted killings while remaining below the threshold of international criticism." is the obvious answer to "If Israel are committing genocide, why don't they just nuke Gaza?"
