Your party is the reason we’re in this mess. Your dogmatism and unwillingness to compromise provides passive support to the far right. We live in a two party system and you’re splitting the vote on the left and opening the door to a more organised right wing. Wake up! You’re unelectable!

Voters’ voices are being shut out of British politics. Your Party has a radical plan to change that

At our conference in November we will use a jury service-type model to allow members to discuss and decide policy, strategy and even the name of our party, says Your Party co-founder Jeremy Corbyn

We need to stop talking about “documentation” and instead talk about “communication”. Documents are just a means of communicating. At a fundamental level the problem isn’t missing documentation, it’s a lack of communication. Documents just happen to be a good accessible form of communication that works across time and space… #programming #softwaredevelopment #architecture

Trump isn’t going to end the war in Ukraine. He’s going to make it easier for Russia to keep what it stole and greenlight Putin to go after other countries.

Wake up Reeves… you need to factor in the impact to GDP of #climatechange

Global GDP could be halved if we don’t take urgent climate action

People are already impacted by food system shocks, water insecurity, heat stress and infectious diseases. If unchecked, mass mortality, mass displacement, severe economic contraction and conflict become more likely.

Reeves says growth eclipses net zero as Heathrow runway decision looms https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/22/rachel-reeves-says-growth-matters-more-than-net-zero-heathrow-third-runway-decision?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

So we don’t react until the impact of #climatechange is so bad that it’s negatively impacting growth here and now. And given the feedback delay is measured in years we won’t see that until it’s too late. These people don’t do science do they?😡

🚨*Shots Fired by Macron!*🚨

Following the stunning, but unwanted Trump victory, President Macron outlines his future vision for the #EU & #Europe

He acknowledges that Europe can no longer rely on America for its military security & economic stability, & that the EU needs to stand on its own 2 feet & see #America & #China as rivals

North Koreans are fighting #Europeans in Europe, for a Trump backed #Russian dictator

Why? Why switch over to the swimming and cut off the tennis in the last couple of points? By the time I’d opened youtube it was over and the swimming still hadn’t even started! 🤬
