Get the Labour Party to reinstate the only 4 MPs brave enough to oppose their unfair and unwise welfare cuts. #stoppoverty #labourparty #keirstarmer

Content warning: UKPol / USPol / Starmer quote
I think "We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - Keir Starmer, 2025" might look good on a placard somewhere...

Hungary, the USA, Britain - ordinary people round the world are marching IN OUR FUCKING MILLIONS against our governments and for humanity.
If I was in the ruling class, I'd be hurrying up that rocket to Mars, to be honest.
FUCK #KeirStarmer FUCK #Trump Fuck

Content warning: Keir Starmer suspending Labour rebels
"Brian Leishman, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Rachael Maskell and Chris Hinchcliffe will now sit as independent MPs."
“I firmly believe that it is not my duty as an MP to make people poorer, especially those that have suffered because of austerity and its dire consequences.”
- Brian Leishman, MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, one of many who voted against the government’s disability benefit cuts.
Respect to the rebels, for voting with their consciences even when it got them into trouble!
I wonder if any of them will join up with Corbyn & Sultana's new thing?

Content warning: Ed Davey / Elon Musk / London yesterday
Ed Davey, Lib Dem MP, has done a letter about Musk's speech at the far right protest yesterday:
"I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
"As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions."
(If you click through to the Bluesky post, apologies for lack of proper alt text on the letter itself. I did look on his web site for the full text & didn't find it there.)

Content warning: good thread from George Monbiot about Starmer's Labour party
"I was sceptical of Keir Starmer's Labour Party, but willed it to turn things round and build a fairer, greener, kinder country. I was suspicious of its policy vacuums, but thought "well at least it understands strategy". But what we now see is that it is as weak on strategy as it is on ideals."

Labour party, economics, migration (UKPol)
"Labour’s only hope is to convince voters that on immigration, like Brexit or fiscal policy, what right wing populists offer is fool’s gold. This should be possible, because it happens to be true."

benefits, taxes, Starmer etc
Well done disability activists for championing (relative) fairness, care and sense. You shouldn't have had to deal with that cruel nonsense, but you led the way, and I appreciate it.
Tip of the hat to Labour rebels.
Keir Starmer you should fix the tax system now. #TaxWealthNotWork.
There's a campaign for a new 2% tax on wealth over £10,000,000, which seems entirely reasonable to me.

Content warning: Starmer & co keen to cut protections against toxins
"Want to import toxic chemicals into Britain with scant scrutiny? Labour says: go right ahead"
George Monbiot explains:
"Yes, these proposals might reduce costs for business. But the inevitable result is to transfer them to society. ...
"Many have paid with their lives, health, education or livelihoods for previous “bonfires of red tape”: through the Grenfell Tower disaster, filthy rivers, collapsing classrooms, consumer rip-offs and the 2008 financial crisis. But as long as these costs can be shifted off corporate and current government balance sheets, that is deemed a win for business and win for the Treasury."
