Starmer gives the greenlight for Storm Shadows to be used in strikes against targets inside Russia. Even Conservatives are like, dude chill.

Keir Starmer gives go-ahead for British missiles to be used in strikes against targets inside Russianews.sky.com The decision over the use of Storm Shadow missiles, which has been welcomed by Ukraine, represents a hawkish shift in policy from the stance taken by the former Conservative government.

Sunak appoints Shadow Cabinet. Sunak a shadow of a man, forever tarnished, blown away by the winds of change.

Oh, Labour are definitely completely shitty. They’re just slightly less completely shitty than the Tories.

Shocking scenes as a major G7 country votes decisively for the not completely shitty option

UK: Trans and non-binary people have said they are concerned there is not enough awareness of how LGBTQ communities can access free voter IDs before the general election. #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA www.bbc.com/news/art...#transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA www.bbc.com/news/art...

General election: Transgender voters say they face photo ID barrierswww.bbc.com One non-binary 18-year-old said they bought a new passport as they did not know of a free option.

Remember when the RED WALL turned traitor on Jeremy Corbyn. I think they’re going to do the same thing again, only this time voting reform. Thick as mince. They’d vote for Hitler if he was alive today.

I'm not in favour of tactical voting to crush the Tories, getting them out of government is sufficient. But tactical voting to prevent any foothold for Farage is essential. If there is any seat they might win, even a Tory vote would be worth it. They can't be allowed even one seat

Clacton is winnable for Labour. Lib Dems and Greens need to do their duty to defeat Farage.

I’m beginning the like the look of a Lib Dem / Green alliance.

Today, Tories launch their pamphlet of false promises, more gaslighting & preposterous claims. Here’s what they've announced so far 👇 Distractions to hide a £3k tax hike. Misleading propaganda to disguise planned cuts. Excuses for 14 years of failure. #NeverVoteConservative

Listen, my friend, I've met Keir Starmer, and chatted to him, and I can tell you that he's not the Messiah when it comes to the EU. He's a very naughty boy. Some of his plans regarding our future relationship with the EU read as autarky.

Sunak says he'll fight to the end. The end is E-Day pal 4th July 2024 The day after is Friday so you can make it a long weekend, year, lifetime.

This is the least interactive forum and the hardest to get on to. Can’t figure that out.

U.K. politics may not be of interest to many here. However, it does sort of mirror US politics. Both our main political parties are being inevitably to the right. They support the Zionists and their murderous attacks on Palestinians. Their wealthy backers control the media.

You probably don’t know much about the U.K., it once had an empire because it stole land and wealth from the indigenous population. Now the U.K. is little more than a pariah state trading on its history with little else going for it. A collection of islands bound by sea.

I don’t want tax cuts. I want a functioning health system, education that values our moko, an environment that is flourishing, a government that honours Te Tiriti and a cease fire now #nzpol

Not sure which way the U.K. is heading, Fascist or Zionist. Probably about the same. Not my country anymore.

Is there anything more pathetic than two accounts for the same brand interacting with each other like this?

56 years ago, my RS teacher said “Look at the second hand o that clock, every second draws you nearer to your grave”.Sick bastard, who says that to 14 year olds.

Has anyone here heard of a politician called Lee Anderson in the U.K.? Interested particularly in hearing from non Brits.

this is the most evil shit i've read in my life and i'm about to make some shit this person's problem

Twitter or X has become the most divisive, toxic and racist for every right wing idiot on the planet. The Torys use it as their very own Newspeak outlet. It ultimately affects everyone who goes there

London with all my babies. Happy weekend all x

Only my grandmother worked longer than me, 61 years. From service at just 9 years of age until she was 70.

Having recently moved, I have been unaware of political changes. Bit like living in Switzerland during WW2.

I have retired after 54 years at the coal face (metaphorically speaking). DIY and Upcyling and recycling is my thing. I said retired, not stopped working….. Off to the gym.
