The United Kingdom has had more confirmed cases of Mpox in 2024 than 53 of the 54 countries in Africa. It's had more than 52 of the 54 countries in Africa *put together*. And the UK press have the balls to talk about the outbreak of Mpox in Africa.

Keir Starmer and Ed Miliband claim to be taking action on the climate crisis, but Labour MPs are accepting donations from fossil fuel lobbyists. A shameful indictment of their party, and a warning that this government will just continue business as usual.

I'm not sure what's more chilling... Kamala Harris boasting she'll ensure the US "has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world" and "win the competition for the 21st century". Or the crowd's Nuremburg-style chants of "USA, USA, USA..." This is MAGA territory.

The BBC is currently wall-to-wall propaganda for smiling, grinning, laughing, saintly Kamala Harris and against Trump. You just wouldn't guess that the Democrats have supplied the devastating missiles and bombs that have brought genocide to Gaza. It's like a different universe.

I think about #mpox like I do NTDs - so-called neglected tropical diseases which cause terrible symptoms and suffering due to dirty water and lack of sanitation systems and other unacceptable conditions that people like me NEVER have to face. 1/

When they can’t accuse you of antisemitism, they come after you for being “uncivil”. Apparently, I wasn’t civilized or polite or professional enough when I wrote about an image of a young Palestinian girl my daughter’s age who’s head was blown off by an Israeli bomb, so my

While you struggle with inflation, struggle to save money, live paycheque to paycheque, and have your taxes spent on pointless foreign wars… the world’s top defence contractors profiting off of death and destruction rake in $52 billion. ‘It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it’

Britain is under attack Today, the police launched raids across the country and charged activists who oppose Israel's genocide in Gaza. This is an absolute outrage. A scandal. Why are we being treated like this in our own country? Fascism to protect Zionism.

In August and September 1940 our aircraft gallantly manned by boys stopped the march of Hitler-Fascism which had conquered Europe in weeks, in some countries, days. Warts and all we fought fascism to defend freedom from the jackboot, the dawn raid by State Police, from arbitrary
