Lucia Osborne-Crowley is one of the most remarkable campaigners and writers working today. This profile piece is quite the read.
Once upon a time he was their ‘monster of delusion’…
Now we’re back here again and the right‑wing press are on his side.
These papers are a disgrace.
David Lammy announces a new plan that will "clamp down on extremist influence in institutions, such as charities & universities"
From an authoritarian govt thats attacking our basic civil rights this is clearly just another vehicle to target critics of the state.
The Iran war must be going so badly for the US that there are zero videos or photos of it from American official social media channels. I also heard tiktok and youtube are infested with imperial propaganda videos calling how the US has already won, lol.
BREAKING: The Ministry of Defence has explained it will not be deploying HMS Prince of Wales to the Middle East after the government's legal advisors explained that Iran would probably sink it
It'd only suffer an embarrassing breakdown of the coast of Portugal...
An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.
Supported by Nigel Farage.
Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.
US B-52 heavy bombers arrive in England.
“The B-52 is capable of dropping or launching the widest array of weapons in the US inventory. This includes gravity bombs, cluster bombs, precision guided missiles and joint direct attack munitions”.

Israel breaks international law with impunity whilst the British government watches - and does nothing.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS
And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
The EU isn't perfect (von der Leyen?, Mertz, oh so much), not sure about "growth" being the answer but stuck on our little island going down the pan seems a lot worse..
Democracy in the UK
Unelected Head of state
Unelected second chamber of parliament
MPs pressurized to toe the party line
Political parties, too many legislators available for hire to the super-rich
Unlike the EU no workplace democracy
FPTP skews election outcomes
Deep social/economic problems.
The Justice Secretary - a former barrister - suggests that being wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned for three years is just like “scraping your knee” in order to justify undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy. The most absurd argument yet
Curse of Private Equity
US evidence shows:
When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patients—especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treat—are more likely to be killed or harmed.
Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.
The only words I'm interested in hearing from Tony Blair will be delivered from the dock in The Hague.
Of course every environmentalist is anti-war!
What could be worse than the slaughter
of so many species, both by & of humans,
the wanton destruction of natural habitats,
the spewing of millions of tons of
noxious greenhouse gases
into the atmosphere

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.
Maximum capacity is 12 days.
Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeks’ worth of gas.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.
Why are those who claim to hate immigration always the loudest advocates for the wars that increase immigration?
It’s almost as if they’re stupid.
"for offences carrying prison sentences of up to two years, the government intends to force you to be tried and sentenced by three ... unqualified, unpaid volunteers whose demographic overwhelmingly leans white, middle-aged and middle class... "
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
People wondering why so many socialists hate
Keir Starmer should reread the 10 pledges
(formulated by McSweeney & paedo-pal Mandelson)
which got him elected only to be ditched
as well as his hypocrisy standing as the unifying candidate
then starting a witch-hunt against left Labour
"a quarter of the average household energy bill ~ £450 – flow today into corporate profits. Nearly 30% of a water bill in the English privatised system goes to shareholder returns and paying debt"
How privatisation ruined public utilities

One of the first actions taken by the Greens' most recent MP is to stand in solidarity with trans people and she was attacked for it.
The British right’s messianic zeal for a war that is illegal, has no clear goals, and has nothing much to do with the UK (beyond defence) is not the biggest story right now, but it is one of the most baffling
What people in Tehran woke up to. They are breathing this now.
This war has to end before it’s too late for all of us.
Imagine waging war on Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and waging war on Iran to replace Khamenei with Khamenei🤦♀️
