If Streeting is the answer, Labour hasn't understood the question.

Remember when one of Wesley's junior Ministers led us to believe Palantir couldn't access identifiable patient data? Turns out that wasn't true.

👀 Pretty remarkable stat! The Green Party got 1.95 million votes at the local elections (excluding mayoral!) Approx 1 million more people (!!!) than best record in 2023. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New idea. Next time we publish a report on a politician, I’ll keep the politician’s name blanked out for a week, and let everyone take positions before they find out who it is.

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, won a BAFTA award last night. The BBC refused to show it but Channel 4 aired it anyway. There's still some real journalists out there, actually challenging power and showing the terrible war crimes they try to hide.

NHS England went out of its way to tell us (www.england.nhs.uk/digitaltechn...) our data was safe. It wasn't. And we are right to worry. Palantir is deeply political. And highly unethical: it paid for a smear campaign against Good Law Project. Did they also access my medical records? My family's?

Two Reform Councillors had died before they were elected. Five have quit because they never actually wanted to be Councillors. At least four have been fired because they are vile racists. One is complaining because he thought he'd be an MP. One was completely made up Clown party

Dr. Q Manivannan, a transgender and non-binary Indian immigrant was elected as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for JK Rowling's constituency. Oh dear don't spread this she might see and get angry!

You can't make this sh t up. Joshua Seungkyun Kim a South Korean immigrant was elected as a Reform Representive to the Welsh Senedd. His main concern is the influx of migrants to the UK. It's a clown party.

Gaza: Doctors Under Attack wins a BAFTA Award Executive Producer Ben de Pear, "Just a question for the BBC, given you that you dropped our film will you drop us from the BAFTA TV screening later on tonight?" And guess what, they edited it to this shorter version

"Public ownership is in the public interest" says Starmer. Except on water companies where he will continue to let them dump sewage.

Labour doesn't represent working class interests like it traditionally did But Reform represents them even less So when Labour copies Reform, it sends a message from the "working class party" that Reform's ideas are okay So Reform wins. And the working class loses How hard is that to understand?

#RefUKkers

This was the line-up from the first ever Coachella. Actually looked pretty good.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night. The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. #Bafta #Baftas

Could Farage be forced into a by-election? Two investigations into his undeclared £5m gift. The Electoral Commission Parliamentary Standards Commissioner If as result, he is suspended from the Commons for 10+sitting days, petition signed by 10% of constituents can trigger Recall and a by-election.

Reform UK's leader of Kent County Council, Linden Kemkaran, humiliates herself trying to find flaws in The Green LK, "How much have you taken off your long term debt in the last year?" Rachel Millward, "We're actually not in debt"

Rayner warns Starmer to change direction as Streeting preparing leadership bid. A Palace coup, another insider wants the job to do the same things. All cabinet members are tainted. Streeting tainted more than most, took money from healthcare corporations, part privatisation of the NHS.

Casual no tie Starmer comes across less as 'everyman' and more as 'she's turned the weans against us'

BREAKING: A source close to Wes Streeting tells me he feels confident that he is the one Labour MP who could make an even less popular Prime Minister than Keir Starmer. He is therefore preparing a leadership challenge ♥️

Surge in data centres to push water bills even higher. A large data centre needs 5m gallons a day. Prospect - dryer rivers, deeper droughts, water shortages. More carbon emissions, higher electricity consumption, power blackouts as data centres get priority. archive.ph/67qAE

What are those "stronger ties", Keir? Will we rejoin the single market? Or the EU? Or just eat more word salad?

Voters say Labour failing on housing as a third struggle to pay rent, mortgage. It's neoliberalism. Low wages make buying home difficult. Lack of social housing - Tories sold it. UK not self-sufficient in building materials. Unchecked profiteering. Must jettison neoliberalism. archive.ph/3oht4

Call it the long #GetGreensElected buildup. A friend just uncovered this pic of me leafletting in Lewisham in January 2010. That May we won one seat in the whole borough. Sixteen years later, it is 40 seats and the mayor

Great memories of working inside the Ministry of Justice doing actor roleplay work - many of my former colleagues have remained friends! Especially the time I went down to the foyer on a lunch break - and some of the staff were on strike. First time I met @uvwunion.bsky.social!

The Telegraph is bursting with excitement at getting its man into Number 10.

Apparently it's Keir Starmer's critics - rather than the man who gave us the "Island of Strangers"; Israel can turn off Palestine's water; "a woman is an adult female" - who risk opening the door to the Far Right.

After winning the 2026 BAFTA TV Award for Leading Actress for her role as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Prisoner 951 Narges Rashidi says, "I was a 7 year old who survived war" "But so many children in Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, may never get that opportunity, that chance"

The BBC is reporting that Keir Starmer, as he ushers in a Reform government in 2029, will continue to pitch-roll for it in the meantime. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...).

Trump 2024: “I’ll fight for the forgotten American.” Trump 2026: takes $60M from 600,000 of those forgotten Americans for a gold phone that doesn’t exist, then quietly edits the website to say their deposit doesn’t guarantee a phone. Trumps only consistent policy is fleecing his own base.

The Green Party got more votes at the Local Elections than any other party except Reform. And Reform's vote is going down, the Greens are still climbing.

"If you haven't got the courage to stand up to wealth and power, don't say you are going to deliver real change. Because it isn't going to happen."

Reform's vetting failed. Now its leadership is failing too. 👎 Tice was asked to condemn Gibbins's racist comments today and couldn't do it. 📎 Our original investigation: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/05/01/m...

Difference in Vote Share from Local Elections (2025 to 2026) 💚 Green (+7) ⬆️⬆️ 🌳 Tory (+2%) ⬆️ 🔶LibDem (-1%) ⬇️ 🥀 Labour (-3%) ⬇️ 🟣Reform (-4%) ⬇️

Here he comes

BREAKING: Keir Starmer launches inspired bid to stay on as prime minister in which he wraps himself in 26 flags, explains he loves drinking pints, and offers the public absolutely nothing. His approval rating falls by another two points 😳

From May 2025 to May 7th 2026, 74 Reform councillors resigned, been expelled, suspended or defected to other parties By-elections triggered by resignations & expulsions can cost £20,000 - £30,000 depending on ward size This comes from council budgets & is paid for by our taxes! #NeverVoteReform

Multiple things can be true at once: 🟥Reform are growing 🟩Reform are still pretty small 🟩Labour has a huge majority 🟥Starmer can't govern opencouncildata.co.uk/plugins.php

Keir Starmer, "I want to remind you what Nigel Farage said about Brexit" "He said it would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer" "He said it would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration went through the roof" "He said it would make us more secure. Wrong again. It made us weaker"

Time to hit the billionaires and billion/trillon dollar companies who underpay their taxes by £200-300bn a year.

Lets renationalise the businesses that make vast profits, Energy, Housing, Healthcare, Banking, Water, not just ones that are going bankrupt and can't survive without State Aid. That's where all the benefit is.

Fifa has tried to charge China a ridiculous $300m for TV rights to the FIFA 2026 World Cup. If China should tell Trump and Infantino to go get f*cked. RT/Like

Worker's share of UK income 1955, 71.7%. 2025, 59.7%. This includes fat-cats. Headline corporation tax rate in 1974, 52%. Now, 25%. For the last 30 yrs, UK has been at or near the bottom of the OECD league for investment in productive assets. Wealth went to shareholders, execs, capital.

Settlements in the West Bank "are a flagrant violation of international law and must cease", the Foreign Office says. So why is Israeli group Shivat Zion allowed to operate on UK territory and help Britons move to illegal settlements? 👉 www.declassifieduk.org/exposed-isra...

Greens won the local elections in Norwich South by 24pts

Green breakthrough in inner London. Very weak performance by Reform

Farage is trending for being a Fraud. Here’s a list of his greatest achievements 👇 open.substack.com/pub/harryecc...

Simon Schama: The Road to Auschwitz, wins the BAFTA for Specialist Factual, "It's very hard actually to think, to describe what is correctly and rightly thought to be, the indescribable, the amount of slaughter human beings can inflict on others"

Even Money Week, a publication that’s long been relatively Brexit-sympathetic, is now openly asking: “Ten years of Brexit: Should Britain rejoin the EU?” They highlight the lagging markets, capital flight, weaker pound and structural 6–8% GDP hit. moneyweek.com/economy/brex...

Just applied a coat of hammerite to some garden furniture and the inside of a wheelbarrow. Might start a podcast and claim the manosphere throne.

Five Reform councillors forced to resign today Disciplinary Actions & Expulsions: Several councillors have been "ousted" or expelled by Reform for "bringing the party into disrepute" or displaying a "lack of integrity".

There are worse ways to end the weekend.

Elon Musk deleted this tweet which reveals exactly who he is. But of course on the internet nothing is ever deleted.

It's the story that isn't going to go away for Nigel Farage

The last vestiges of hope of owning a nice home.

Sorry, Keir, but why should only young people have Freedom of Movement? Why can't British adults also have the freedom to love, live, work, set up business and retire across our continent – like the half a billion citizens of the EU do? Why do your Brexit red lines stop us from doing that?

Only in the USA are staff not paid because they are waiters/waitresses, it all goes backs to when Slaves did these jobs and they didn't force businesses to properly pay them when Slavery was abolished because they didn't want to upset the rich White Owners It's time to end it

Imagine if Keir Starmer got up today and said this ...

I don't know who needs to hear this but the only thing Capitalism ever made is incredibly greedy, arrogant people who get even richer by making you suffer.

The fact Bridget Phillipson says “Trans people AND women” says it all. She sees us as a separate entity. A limbo sex. The UK is the most transphobic country in the western world. Cowardly Labour will absolutely continue the Right Wing orchestrated persecution.

Keir Starmer, "On Brexit, the reason I reminded everyone of what Nigel Farage said was because that was the promise he put to the country" "That we'd be stronger, we'd be richer, we'd have lots of money for the NHS, immigration will come down" "It all proved to be false"

Wasps are declining at a worrying rate. Fewer sightings, more nests destroyed daily as they are often considered pests. In this first of a two part series, Vanna Bartlett explains why we should view them as are our friends 👇 @eastangliabylines.co.uk @vannabartlett.bsky.social

In the US Elon Musk called Pensions and assistance to Disabled People, 'entitlements' that the US needs to get rid of. The entitlements are the billionaires ownership of Energy, 'Public' Transport, Housing, Banking, Healthcare... It shouldn't be owned by ANYONE.

THREAD: With Piers Morgan currently busy accusing gay Jewish Zack Polanski of lying - while also going out of his way to shame and embarrass trans women on @bbcquestiontime - I want to take you back to the way UK Media used to treat anyone who was gay.

What would happen if a party headed by a charismatic demagogue, at best indifferent to such constraints and at worst hostile to them, were to win power? Such people have gained power elsewhere.

Happy Monday everyone, I who all the newly elected reform councillors are swamped with pothole complaints, bin collection issues and tedious site visits in the rain.

Every podcast advert! The Rt Hon Geoffrey Geoff-Geoffrey with a word from his sponsors…

Tommy Robinson is a Far Right agitator, he has been in prison multiple times. Surely he should be banned from his own march.

Euan Philipps, head of media at Labour Against Antisemitism, adopted a Jewish sounding name to file antisemitism complaints to Labour. The activities of this faux Jewish activist encapsulate the absurdity of the antisemitism hysteria under Corbyn👇 www.declassifieduk.org/how-keir-sta...

Another day, another vote to punish disabled people. Never talk about the costs of billionaires or punish or tax them in any way. No it's always you, you are too expensive, not on the streets yet, still breathing.

Personally, I think she'd make a brilliant replacement for Starmer. She's perfected the u-turn already. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In 1946 with National debt 2.5x higher than it is now, and at a relative cost of over £1tn. Clement Attlee nationalised Steel, Rail, Energy, Healthcare, Fossil Fuel, Telecoms, Aviation... The result the greatest period of growth the UK has ever known. It can be done, and it works.

Who are Palantir? And why should YOU be concerned… 👇 open.substack.com/pub/harryecc...

The primary cause of Keir Starmer’s utter humiliation in the local elections is the cost-of-living crisis: a crisis that has been devastating communities across the country for years, and which has been largely ignored by Westminster. open.substack.com/pub/gracebla...

Things have got so desperate for Keir he's having to admit Brexit was bad. He'll say climate change is a danger next.

The Cost of Billionaires as everyone is finding out is everything. There will be nothing for you because it's getting in the way of them being Trillionaires. You must ask if there's 'no money' why don't we take it from the 3500 people with $20,000,000,000,000.00

The UK privatised almost everything, it has £3tn debt. Norway kept everything nationalised, it has £2tn, shared among 10x less people. Renationalise everything and in 10 years we'd be richer than ever.

Billionaires, and the politicians they fund, will do everything they can to strip workers of their rights.

If Keir Starmer thinks he "got the big political decisions right", we'd hate to see what his mistakes look like.

What happens when you do not understand MMT www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/05...

Unemployment hurts governments. Inflation kills them. Starmer believed that his government was the exception - and did nothing to support those struggling during the cost of living crisis. This weekend, he was punished for his hubris. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-cost-o...

Oh yes please, it's about time he was investigated! "The Reform leader faces two possible investigations over the undeclared gift from Christopher Harborne. A lengthy Commons suspension could lead to a recall petition – and end up costing him his Clacton sea" observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Starmer attacks Farage He said would make us richer. Wrong. It made us poorer He said would reduce migration. Wrong. Migration through the roof He said would make us more secure. Wrong. It made us weaker He took Britain for a ride & then fled the scene He’s not just a grifter, he’s a chancer

Renationalisation isn't when you takeover failing businesses that the Capitalists don't want anyway. It's when you force purchase massively profitable businesses, like Energy, that they would never want to sell. Because the people demand it.

Good morning to the early risers ☺️ Have a great start to the week 🙏

If it weren’t for politicians/DHSC making profoundly unsafe - indeed dangerous- decisions about which companies should provide the software (eg Palantir) not to mention unsafe security (Oxford BIOBANK) I’d be all for better integration of NHS data But not as long as this is the quality of decisions
