Forget the “but” in this headline.
🔥 PALESTINE ACTION BAN RULED UNLAWFUL
That means that this authoritarian government has arrested, hauled off the street and jailed thousands of peaceful protestors… unlawfully.
That’s seismic.
First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

I'm highly recommending this as today's must read!
"Low or no interest" was what the Conservative Government under Thatcher said when it came up with the idea.
A politician partying on a billionaires yacht, is not going to benefit the people of their country, but they will be expected to do favours for the billionaire. That's true for Reform, Conservatives or in this case Labour. It's wrong. Good riddance (again) Mandelsson.
'This is not a progressive system, it's a regressive one.'
@lewisgoodall.com explains how the student loan system has 'quietly shifted the burden' from higher earners onto those 'least able to bear it'.

Young people with #StudentLoans are getting angry as #studentdebt grows. Govt under Thatcher's 'low or no interest' was buried, now Reeves & Starmer are freezing the threshold! Unilateral changes #debt terms are wrong, meaning more people paying more. #Resist write to MP's! youtu.be/IzAN7ZBDT8Q?...
Yes but the problem is not just Govt under Thatcher on interest, but Reeves & Starmer NOW freezing the repayment threshold, so more graduates affected and paying more.
Morally reprehensible for Govt to change terms of a #debt unilaterally. #Resist and write to our MP's.
When student loans were proposed to replace grants by the Government under Thatcher, they were to be at low or no interest. (0.5% was banded around). And here we are!
We watched Ofcom getting grilled by the UK Parliament's Energy Security & Net Zero Committee and - oh my...

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy
