Protest has proven effective in forcing oligarchs to cede rights to folk since feudal times. The right to protest is a human right and any regime that ignores the will of the people forfeits the title ‘democracy.’ Tactics like aiming tear gas, police violence, projectiles 1/

Africa is being suffocated, sold off by its own leaders to blood soaked investors. The UAE, foreign mining companies, foreign “developers”, all exploiting genocide and ecological collapse for profit while the people, the land, the animals suffer. This is theft, destruction, and

Guess how it went this year? That's right, evangelical christians "faith leaders" abused 1000s of kids, not drag queens, not trans people. Weird how we never hear about bathroom bans for youth pastors... https://t.co/MTDVwSjipK
Zero drag queens have been arrested in Tennessee this year for raping or sexually abusing children. Over 30 faith leaders have.

What a disgraceful headline to wake up to! "If we don't give in to the Far Right now, I might lose my seat in the next General Election" 🤬 That worked really well in Denmark, didn't it? The worst govt. in my lifetime. And I remember the Thatcher years. https://t.co/msWk2kGmlT

Tory legacy. Thousands of flood defences protecting homes or businesses in England are below the required condition. Years of austerity, cuts to council funding, indulging builders to build in flood plains, lack of investment by water companies. https://t.co/NT9MTrV05H

"6 million people are choosing to sit at home on the sofa instead of working" say MPs- desperately hoping no vaguely competent journalist points out there are only 723k vacancies-most completely unsuitable or unobtainable for those currently not working.

David Lammy's changed a bit, hasn't he? 😂 Here he is in 2018 calling Theresa May “an appeaser and a sycophant” for welcoming Donald Trump to the UK. Who's the sycophant now then, Dave?

If Starmer isn’t an op to install fascism in Britain it’s worth asking what he would actually be doing differently if he were!
Genius. The PM’s big plan to stop the far right: ask Europe to gut the ECHR - our last line of defence against torture, tyranny and despotism. Because nothing says “defend democracy” like burning your bows on the eve of battle so you can stay warm for one more night.

“Assault at army barracks set to house asylum seekers”. The far right have been helping to whip up an atmosphere of division & fear around the Crowborough camp. They are out to divide the community for their own agenda. #RefugeesAreNotToBlame

Everyone who claims benefits, or will claim benefits (including state pension) should be coming together, advocating for all benefits to be fundamental entitlements, baked in into society. ALL are entitlements for any who qualify. “Othering” some, opens the door for the others.

Claiming disability benefits in the UK can itself be traumatic, often intensifying anxiety, stress, and feelings of stigma for applicants. Research shows that the assessment process, the need to “prove” invisible conditions, and societal attitudes can cause psychological harm

So @TheGreenParty reps will be c. 0.2% of the #HouseofLords. And 18th-century style patronage will rule even more when the hereditaries go. #democracy - it would be a good idea https://t.co/338kMqxnqM

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020. This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers. The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

If we taxed the profits and wealth generated by Britain's working people, we could all share in the prosperity. As long as billionaires are free to bribe politicians legally with donations so they can avoid equal taxation, we will pay the price for their greed.. #pmqs
