Since becoming President again, Donald Trump has bombed Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Nigeria.
He’s also armed Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and threatened to invade Greenland and Canada.
The fact he’s set up a so-called ‘Board of Peace’ really is some proper dystopian 1984 shit.

- Homelessness Minister landlord making her tenants homeless
- Health Minister taking money from private healthcare links

The UK is literally RIDICULOUS.
If you’re outraged by this latest example of hypocrisy from Starmer’s Labour government, REPOST this thread.
Don’t let them get away with it.
Make sure everyone knows exactly what these self-serving hypocrites are doing.
Labour says it’s on the side of renters.
But how on earth can the Homelessness Minister evict tenants for profit, try to charge them illegal fees, and still keep her job?
Where are the principles? Where’s the accountability?
They say one thing and do exactly the opposite.
Ali’s spokesperson claims her behaviour was all “within the rules.”
But the rules are exactly what she’s meant to be reforming.
This isn’t just bad optics, it’s a huge two fingers up to every single renter - and a green light to dodgy landlords to carry on exploiting tenants.
Starmer’s Labour has railed against exactly this kind of behaviour - promising to clamp down on:
– No-fault evictions
– Skyrocketing rents
– Landlords gaming the system
– Letting agents breaking the law
Then they got elected and put a dodgy landlord in as homelessness Minister.
However, after the tenants revealed their landlord was a sitting MP, the agents suddenly backed off and drop the charges.
But it gets more absurd.
That’s because Ali is the actual Homelessness Minister - in charge of tackling evictions, rising rents, and insecure housing.
New tenants then moved in.
But what happened to the old ones?
They were hit with UNLAWFUL charges - including:
- £2,000 for repainting
- £395 for cleaning
Both of these charges are banned under the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
The tenants were then offered rolling contracts - but only temporarily while the property was listed for sale.
When no buyer emerged, it was quietly put back on the rental market - now at £4,000 a month.
That’s a full £700 more than before.
In March, Labour’s Minister for Homelessness, Rushanara Ali, served notice on four tenants renting her East London property.
No misconduct, no rent arrears - just a Section 21 “no-fault” eviction.
A move her own party is pledging to ban.
The Minister for Homelessness is a landlord - and she just evicted her tenants, tried to charge them >£2,000 in illegal fees, then re-listed the property weeks later for £700 more.
The same Minister who claims to fight for renters’ rights.
You couldn’t make it up.

The problem is that this type of man finds it far easier to blame women than fix the actual problem: their horrendous views and toxic personalities.
It’s very hard to go viral with videos about treating women like people and being nice. But it’s very easy with videos spewing misogyny and hate.
Here’s a list of every Labour MP who just voted for Keir Starmer’s hated Welfare Bill PIP cuts

Do you ever wonder how UK ‘journalists’ can be so constantly wrong about everything, yet never face any consequences for being so absurdly incompetent at their job?
It’s cause being right doesn’t pay the bills.
They simply write whatever’s in the interest of their rich bosses.
Amazing how right-wingers can suddenly care about refugees when they’re white.
Gary Stevenson was right about Fiona Bruce being >£20k richer since Covid - her salary rose from £255k in 2019 to £395k in 2023.
However, Stevenson also missed a bigger detail.
Fiona Bruce is a TAX AVOIDER.
She used a tax avoidance scheme to avoid paying PAYE on her salary.
Capitalists need you to believe that anyone can get rich if they just work hard enough.
Not only is it statistically impossible, it also totally ignores that capitalism would grind to a halt without millions of people doing essential jobs (nurses, teachers etc) for low wages.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
Wow. MPs back proportional representation system for UK elections in symbolic vote

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
Keir Starmer’s statement supporting the ICC’s decision to open war crimes cases against Vladimir Putin (17 March 2023)
It’s been 24 hours & neither Keir Starmer nor David Lammy have commented on the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
Perhaps they could apply the same standards as the ones they outlined below:

This is what David Lammy tweeted when the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for committing war crimes in Ukraine.
Now the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza, Lammy is totally silent.
What exactly is the Foreign Secretary waiting for?
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
The UK government must comply with the ICC, end all arms sales, impose economic sanctions & suspend its trade deal with Israel.
Nothing less will do.
Benjamin Netanyahu has described the International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for him and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity, as “antisemitic”.
This is not satire.
🚨 BREAKING: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity in Gaza.
The US and UK governments must immediately suspend all arms sales to Israel.

Israel is working with ISIS-affiliated armed gangs to starve the people of Gaza.
These are the shocking revelations coming out of the Israeli media and other sources.

It’s fantastic & a little surreal going to my newsfeed on @bsky.app and seeing posts from all the people I’ve followed for years on Twitter/X which have oddly been missing from my newsfeed on X for the past 18 months. This is going to be an amazing platform👏
Make no mistake, Israel’s ultimate goal is not just to wipe out Hamas.
Its goal is to make Gaza entirely unliveable for Palestinians, to ethnically cleanse it so they can colonise it.
Israeli politicians now openly admit it.
And the majority of UK MPs are also cheering it on.
