There are some very wealthy men supporting and encouraging angry poorer men to over throw democracy so that the very wealthy men can take even more from the angry poorer people.

Ed Sheeran is worth about half a billion for being "such a lovely guy" playing soulless, objectively God awful, pop music. Would it have killed the cowardly prick to cancel a few gigs to stand with his mate of 13 years and, more importantly, the slaughtered, starved and unimaginably traumatised children of Gaza?

Sorry, but this is serious, and we really have to look at why a politician feels it is acceptable for a woman to be attacked in this way simply because she said things they didn’t agree with and disrupted their conference. Let’s get this right: she wasn’t being violent. She was using her voice. The reaction from Jenrick makes me seriously question whether he stands with women who are abused or with the people abusing them. This is a man who was once involved in running law and order in this country, at a time when victims were terrified that their abusers could be released from prison early because of mistakes made by his former party, which he was part of. You have to wonder how much sympathy he really had for those victims and how much he genuinely cared, because I cannot understand how any human being with a shred of decency could watch a woman being treated like that and basically respond with “boo hoo, who cares?” This is absolutely disgusting. And if our political leaders do not act when things like this happen, especially when we are seeing this sort of behaviour becoming normalised, then what is the point of talking about law and order? Reform are showing us how they behave now. What happens if they get into power? Are the Andrew Tates of this country going to be the ones influencing our politics? Anyone supporting Reform, especially women, should seriously consider how women are viewed and respected by this party. Because what they are showing is that if you are not singing their tune, you become the enemy, and they do not appear to care how safe you are or what happens to you. That should concern everyone.

Matt Goodwin raging that 1.3 million “foreign nationals” claim Universal Credit. Half not even working! His own chart shows the biggest chunk is EU Settlement Scheme, people who grafted the shit jobs, paid their tax and NI for years so this place kept running. Same as the British workers stuck on UC because wages are a joke and rents are robbery. Workers aren’t paying for migrants. They’re paying for the landlords, the tax dodging rich and the bosses who crush pay. Reform’s “British only” welfare is pure divide and rule. Kick the settled workers so the boardrooms keep laughing. Want the money for schools, hospitals and the rest? Tax the wealth. Take energy and housing public. Raise wages so no one needs the top up. The social contract isn’t broken by the person next to you in the queue. It’s broken by the people who own everything and contribute fuck all. Stop looking down. Look up.
1.3 MILLION foreign nationals now claim Universal Credit welfare in Britain. Of which half are not even working! Why are British workers having to pay for this? Stop it now. And plough this money into schools, hospitals, prisons, and our armed forces! mattgoodwin.org/p/why-are-br…

The idea that you can’t have made money and still have a social conscience is just idiotic. It’s basically an excuse for rich people to be cunts and for cunts that look up to rich people to defend the rich cunts that they look up to.

Massive respect to @ilovecherryreds staff today facing down racists and refusing to serve them and keeping cool in intense provocation for so called patriots and auditors. Also to Turtle Bay security for stepping in, in a professional manner. Racists are not welcome in Brum!

For a multi-millionaire, Nigel Farage has some manky old brown teeth. Given his skill at denying observable reality, he should get a set of Turkey teeth and pretend nothing happened.

Mick Lynch on Reform & Restore ‘they are all as despicable as each other to me & working class people should turn away from the hatred they spread … you believe in isolating people & taking advantage of poverty so you can divide them & make your friends even richer.’ #newsnight

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order. I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders. Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead. But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose. And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia. So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan! The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

If you can't get a job, they tell you you're a scrounger. If you've got a job and complain about the cost of living, they tell you to get a better-paid job. And once you get a well-paid job, they tell you greedy train drivers earn 'too much money'. See how it works yet?

Being queer in the UK is f'ing exhausting. I'm not even trans & even I have a sort of by-proxy/vicarious feeling of exhaustion over this pointlessly cruel, muddled & disproportionate EHRC code of practice mess - plus the inevitable cess pit it creates in broadcast & social media

Turns out the person who benefited most from our EU membership was the guy who worked there for 20 years, taking a fat cat salary and pulling a final pension before burning the bridge for the rest of us and claiming a £5m bonus. Farage, what a massive cock

What is remarkable about this letter is not merely the resignation itself, but the extraordinary political miscalculation that underpins it. At a moment when the Labour Party possesses one of the strongest parliamentary mandates in modern British political history, there are those within its own ranks seemingly prepared to weaken the Government from within rather than recognise the scale of the challenges inherited after fourteen years of Conservative decline. To suggest that the Prime Minister should now prepare an “orderly transition” barely into government is not an act of strategic wisdom. It is an act of impatience and political self indulgence. Governments are not rebuilt overnight, economies are not repaired by rhetoric, and public services shattered over a decade do not recover within months. The contradictions within the letter are striking. It speaks of transformational programmes, of meaningful work undertaken in Government, of efforts to tackle hatred and division, yet then abruptly pivots into a demand that the very leadership overseeing those policies should effectively step aside. One cannot simultaneously claim to believe in collective responsibility whilst publicly detonating confidence in the administration one serves within. Most damaging of all is the timing. At a period where the political right, Reform, hostile media networks, and increasingly aggressive populist movements are seeking to fracture progressive politics across Britain, internal grandstanding of this nature only serves their interests. The electorate does not reward parties that appear consumed by internal ego and permanent instability. History has shown this repeatedly. The public delivered Labour a mandate to govern, not to descend into another era of factional warfare and theatrical resignations. The country requires seriousness, endurance, and discipline. Those who cannot uphold collective responsibility during difficult periods perhaps misunderstand entirely what government is supposed to demand of them.
This morning I sent my letter of resignation to the Prime Minister. I urge the Prime Minister to do the right thing for the country and the Party and set a timetable for an orderly transition.
