Survivors of Epstein’s abuse deserve transparency, accountability, & healing. That’s why I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the House floor to release all the files. And we won’t stop our push for a full, public Congressional hearing to ensure survivors are heard.

Herzog said about Gazans: "It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved... And we will fight until we’ll break their backbone." He shouldn't be permitted to enter the UK, let alone meet ministers.

Energy bills to rise by more than expected ahead of winter. UK's 20 largest companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020, causing inflation, poverty, business failures, enriching shareholders. No party tackling corporate power, profiteering, rentier economy.

UK electricity/gas infrastructure companies have spent £490m a year less than budgeted on maintaining system reliability and preventing failures. Gas privatised in 1986, electricity in 1990. Assets sweated. Electricity/Gas distribution companies have the highest profit margins in the UK.

It would be a thousand times better for Labour and for Britain if the national debate were about whether to rejoin the EU or not, rather than how hard to punch down at immigrants. Instead, Labour chose to propagate Farage's argument for him by accepting it had SOME validity and trying to nuance it.

An inmate at Ghislaine Maxwell's cushy country club prison has been transferred to a dangerous, high-security prison just for criticizing Maxwell. The DOJ won't lift a finger to protect Maxwell's victims from rape, but jumps at the chance to protect Maxwell from an inconvenient appraisal.

Farage’s immigration ‘plan’ amounts to nothing more than threats (or promises, if you’re racist) to be as inhumane, unlawful, moronic and prejudiced as possible about asylum seekers. It’s the most unworkable, unthinkable, ruinous, Trump-branded horseshit. Brexit failure and toxic racism on steroids.
JWexTheSpa (@jwsidders.bsky.social) reposted
Farage has now said very clearly he will remove judges he does not approve of and abolish UK citizens' human rights. No-one at the BBC, Sky or ITV - or inside the government - seems to think it is worth highlighting. This is exactly what sleepwalking towards autocracy looks like.

Nigel Farage wants to end sick pay, he wants to destroy the unions, he wants to get rid of the State Pension, he wants US style Healthcare. The only person he will benefit is billionaires.
Edwin Hayward (@edwinhayward.com) reposted reply parent
Every step Labour chase Farage down that path brings him one step closer to power. It bears repeating: every step Labour chase him down that path brings him one step closer to power. So what SHOULD they be doing instead? Yank the fight over to a different battlefield, such as rejoining the EU.
