“Living standards are falling for us.” Yet UK banks just posted £29bn in half-year profits. Lloyds’ profits jumped 99% to £2.3bn as mortgage rates hit 6%, while Shell doubled its profits to £8bn. This isn’t just an economic crisis; it’s a wealth transfer.

I’d like to mention Mrs Thatcher warning about man-made climate change being a threat as big as nuclear war, not because I’m a fan of Mrs Thatcher, I can’t stand her, but I think it’s important that people on the right understand that climate change is not a left-wing conspiracy even though the fossil fuel propaganda says exactly that

Reminder that there is no need for living standards to fall, pain is not inevitable, everything can be improved starting Monday, they are doing this to protect the rich who own the govt and telling you this below because there is absolutely no threat to them whatsoever.

I'm 40 years old, and graduated from university in the summer of 2008. Throughout my entire adult life the prevailing narrative has been about cuts, "painful" years, and ever-increasing inequality. And mainstream politicians wonder why people are so angry.

I don't care what dumbass propaganda you fell for, the whole demonization of trans people is one of the most blatant examples of scapegoating in the 21st century and you're all morons for falling for it esp when it's so clearly a smokescreen to distract from actual issues

"It's time for this government to show some energy and some bravery and put the water companies into special administration - and then, of course, into public ownership". 💯@GreenJennyJones. It's time to end the rip-off and take private water companies in England back into public hands.

Thames Water’s creditors have a deadline today. They need to decide whether to hand over a £2.4 billion loan to keep the utility afloat for another 12 months. Today we're presenting a petition with 30,000 signatures calling on Andy Burnham and Ofwat to block the bailout. Their credit rating was downgraded on Monday. They're a liability. Let them go bust! vist.ly/5qgjc

A president kissing a transgender woman is almost like Jesus kissing the lepers. Transgender women are being treated as monsters and excluded from society by Labour UK, far right, billionaires such as Elon Musk and JK TERF Rowling. Kissing one is so radical, it makes you tear up.
i don't know a ton about the brazilian elections but i have to say, a politician kissing a transgender woman is such a radical act that it almost makes me tear up

The fact that Brazil can elect a trans woman and their president can embrace her just highlights how backwards and reactionary the UK is.
QUE EMOÇÃO! Tudo valeu a pena 🌟💗😭

Richard Dawkins has just described trans people as "poor deluded freaks." That's hate speech and it's appalling that it could be thought acceptable to describe trans people or any vulnerable minority in those terms on a public forum.

Esther Ghey asking the obvious question of people who have become obsessed with trans people: "as a family we were willing to accept her so why when it's nothing to do with you are you so bothered?"
Esther Ghey has won a Pride of Britain Award for her tireless campaigning work after her daughter Brianna was tragically murdered in a premeditated attack by teenagers who had consumed extreme online violence.

Just a reminder, that despite predicting every year since 2018 that within 5 years we would see 1000s of lawsuits etc, untold testimonies of regret, this has not happened. Trans people got trans healthcare and went on with their lives. That's it. This comparison is insane.
This week a friend asked me: “If teen girls were caught up in a culture-bound mass psychosis, wishing to have their healthy eyes surgically removed, would we still be debating it? Or would we have stopped it right away?” I think it shows our Puritan roots still haunt us. Human sexuality remains the great taboo. We can remove or damage a young person’s capacity for sexual function, and the people who object are the ones accused of being “fixated on genitals.” Naming the loss is treated as more shameful than causing it.

JK Rowling has not uttered a word about Cornell. JK Rowling has made no mention of the girls being raped in ICE detention centres. All of her "concerns" hinge on her hatred of transgender people. All of her "concerns" are for women and girls of a certain class. 1/4
J.K. Rowling has published a new essay defending her views on the trans community and calling out trans activism in the 21st century for being "elitist." "My views haven't changed... what to me represents no change at all in my political or ideological outlook has, in recent years, seen me and women like me subject not only to criticism but also to death threats. This is because we oppose the current, dominant strain of trans activism, which holds that a man who declares himself a woman is, literally, a woman, and is therefore entitled to be treated as a woman in all contexts..." variety.com/2026/tv/global/j…
