Due to the Iran War Fossil Fuel companies are making £1bn more profit every month in the UK alone. This could and should have been subjected to a windfall tax, but it wasn't.

The day after the Chancellor never mentions climate once in his speech - Shell announces profits of over £8,000,000,000.

Whatever the punditry, whatever the propaganda, whatever the election result in Israel: replacing Netanyahu with Eisenkot won’t end the occupation, apartheid or the genocide of the Palestinian people. Both are war criminals. Both uphold a system that subjects 7 million Palestinians between the river and the sea to occupation, domination and dispossession. Different faces, same Zionist ethnonationalist project. I repeat once again: Zionism is racism.

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s involvement in Gaza has now surpassed 30,000. Let’s get it to 100k to force a debate in Parliament. We are not giving up until we have exposed the truth. Sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Every single problem is the result of billionaires and their greed. Without them we would be living in the 2050's with everyone housed, excellent healthcare for all, excellent education, good wages, good pensions. And no disgustingly rich greedy bastards forcing Fascism on us.

Ruminating on this quote again today as have had to buy new frames for my glasses, the arm broke on Tuesday. If it wasn't so expensive to be poor, I would have already had a spare pair that I could swap in. But my glasses cost upwards of £400 because of my prescription.

Cuba has better Healthcare, Life Expectancy, Lower Crime and a lower Murder rate than the USA. Even with their 60 year trade embargo from the USA. The only disaster is the USA.

I grew up in Israel. I was educated there. Served it. Studied it. Taught about it. No one knows it better than I do. And there is no doubt. It was built on racism and the destruction of the Palestinian people.

As we’re doing nuclear threat discourse again: just remember, Israel has the world’s largest per capita nuclear stockpile, has never signed a non-proliferation treaty, has never been inspected by IAEA — and their nukes are controlled by a government committing genocide.

A *Lot* more people should be feeling fucking disturbed at a Government with a Huge majority, & their media mates, looking over a poverty ridden, crumbling society, desperate for change, but dedicating All their time to destroying anyone & everyone who isn’t Loyal to Israel.

Just joined the Greens, after a lifetime of voting Labor. Feels like a great relief to support a party that acknowledges the Genocide of Palestinians.

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

I love it when MPs who get so much paid for with expenses say that spending cuts are the only answer. Maybe we should start with a spending cut on their expenses. Braverman claiming over 40k in energy bills for example.

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt has been made to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results." So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.

Energy companies have extracted profits of £500bn since 2020, and every household pays an average of £50 extra a month on energy bills for their profit margin But rather than deal with the structural issues with our rigged economy, all Labour offers is gimmicks and pennies

I worked in the NHS for 14 years. Now doctors like me who speak about Gaza are being reported to the GMC, written up in the press, and left fighting for our careers. This is my experience, and why I won't be silenced. Please watch, share, and contact your MP. @georgegalloway @abierkhatib @SangitaMyska @ShaykhSulaiman @HussainShafiei @Bushra1Shaikh @FranceskAlbs @TheBMA @Partisangirl @mehdirhasan @caitoz @hasanthehun @AyoubKhanMP @jeremycorbyn @KNEECAPCEOL @guychristensen_ @AJEnglish @Lowkey0nline @guardian @TomLondon6 @Tracking_Power

This is exactly where we're at in the UK. We're not just denying a genocide. We're enabling it, accelerating it, and fiercely silencing anyone, including our children, who oppose it.

La chiamiamo "israelizzazione della società" perchè la democrazia che siamo diventati nelle mani di elite politiche influenzate da gruppi di pressione e interessi economico-finanziari, ricorda Israele. Diritti sacrificati in nome della sicurezza e repressione del dissenso.
