One of the many ways King Charles walks the walk when it comes to fighting for #ClimateAction is ensuring the staff on his many estates aren't paid a living wage which means they can't afford petrol to travel. These little things show us the wisdom in having a monarchy #COP28

To use their own language, Rishii Sunak and his ministers hate Britain, despise British values and everything we stand for. They, not Palestine Action, are the true extremists. My new column for Middle East Eye: https://t.co/vB4D1eEVNh

Labour HQ is unhappy that #SirKidStarver is trending and have called for it to be removed from Twitter So make sure you keep it trending, peeps
๐จ | BREAKING: Members of Sir Keir Starmer's LOTO office are reportedly "furious... absolutely insensible with an animalistic rage" that 'Sir Kid Starver' is currently trending on social media and have reached out to contacts at Twitter UK to have the term temporarily censored.

โThese media people seem surprised that working-class people can articulate a case on behalf of others. If they go into their local church or mosque, they'll find millions of articulate working-class people but the fact is we donโt get a chance to express ourselves.โ -Mick Lynch

2015...8 years ago Almost a billion pounds given to private companies, some already blacklisted, to 'help' the NHS waiting lists. The largest deal in NHS history at the time. It didn't work. Jeremy Hunt was Health Secretary. Follow the money ๐ก https://t.co/kOHvWaa6zk

The sales to a total of 11 private firms, some with dubious records, are intended to help hospitals tackle the backlog of patients waiting for surgery and tests

Itโs 24 years today since the nail bombing of the Admiral Duncan, in which 3 people died and many more were injured. I was in Soho that evening and saw the devastation first hand. It was single biggest act of homophobic violence on record in the UK. We must never forget.

It's all too much. So, something small instead. WHY are London bus noises so ugly? I reckon if they had a pretty noise to warn us the doors are opening, instead of that hideous piercing honk we would be happier.
