So now I live in a country whose parliament has voted to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, in breach of their human rights. I’m not proud to be British, I’m disgusted by the racism, homophobia, misogyny & cruelty exhibited by 25% of people & all Tories here. Shame on Brexit Britain!
Homelessness should not be criminalized! People experiencing homelessness need HOUSING. The majority of unhoused persons are: 1. Youth aging out of foster care (especially Black & Brown lgtbq+) 2. Seniors priced out of housing 3. Persons with severe & persistent mental illness.
Children in more deprived areas are more likely to be prescribed antidepressants. This is the medicalisation of poverty.
I've just seen a TV ad for 'affordable' private health care: £15.50 per person, per month. That's £62 a month for a family of four. This is what we'll all be facing if we don't get the Tories out and protect the NHS.
OMG. My vote for tweet of the day.
Former Labour leader @jeremycorbyn calls for an end to the 'horrors' of anti-trans discrimination thepinknews.com/2024/04/19/jer…
Why Rwanda is BS in a single image.
Parliament passed the Rwanda Bill last night, clearing the way for the Tories' cruel anti-refugee policy. Today five people – including a child – died in the Channel as they sought sanctuary in Britain. Instead of demonising refugees, we must show humanity & create safe routes.
JK Rowling is not an expert in genetics. But I am! Chromosomal "sex" is more complicated than a simple binary. XXY women exist. Hell, XY women and XX men exist because of translocations of the SRY gene. Stop erasing real people to fit your 5th grade understanding of biology

I have never felt more ashamed to be British because of the Tories. They’ve punished and endangered the vulnerable, demonised those seeking refuge and divided us, increased taxes but cut vital services. They’ve stolen from us, killed us and broken Britain. But yeah, St George.
Do not vote Labour.
Do not vote Labour.
The Rwanda Bill is evil, racist and inhumane. I voted against it at every stage. Sadly, the Tories voted it through. I unreservedly & wholeheartedly condemn the deportation of refugees to Rwanda. This must be stopped.
Happy St. George’s Day! Loving your country means looking after each other to ensure nobody lives in poverty. It means defending our public institutions like the NHS. It means welcoming refugees — and celebrating the ways they have made our country a better place.
The reason that the Conservative government has cut the pay of NHS staff so severely is because they are intentionally destroying our public healthcare system and making way for privatisation. RT if this concerns you🚨
There is no LGB without the T. My speech at the Council of Europe.
Keep tugging your forlock
Just about sums it up #socialistsunday
The privatisation of water has been a total and utter disaster. Stop bailing out greedy private companies and bring our water into public ownership instead.
Yesterday Tesco announced £2.3bn profit after jacking up prices during a cost of living crisis. Today Rishi Sunak announces more prison sentences for shoplifters.
When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour. And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour. It's hard not to see the lie. RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

Those who lied about Corbyn, and those who gave credence to those lies, delivered this miserable, treacherous, malicious, aggressive and brutal Tory regime. These people knew exactly what they were doing, and the mainstream media know exactly what they did. #ItWasAScam
