“When you create a law, you have to think about what a future government could do with those powers." Ministers would have unilateral powers to lock what they see as 'harmful' behind digital ID checks. This could end up being used on LGBTQ+ and reproductive health content. 🗣️ ORG's James Baker. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-eyes-sweeping-powers-to-regulate-tech-without-parliamentary-scrutiny/ #onlinesafety #digitalid #privacy #freedomofexpression #ageverification #ukpolitics #ukpol

Nigel Farage. "British Trump"? Or Donald Tantrump's Mini-Me? What does Farrago care about the Chagos Islanders anyway? If he becomes PM, he'd happily accelerate #GlobalWarming, meaning their #ChagosIslands would be inundated by rising sea levels even faster... #ReformUKltd #UKpol #Sleaze #ACC #AGW #ClimateEmergency #GoGreen #VoteGreen https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/08/private-jet-used-for-nigel-farage-chagos-stunt-linked-to-reform-mega-donor

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@nr/115615446138812458 3 months on & the Green Party has grown to 216k members. Not due to corporate funding, polluters or pandering to the racist press, but folk determined to put Hope back on the ballot box. They’re on track to become the largest party in the U.K. by membership. Their peak before Zack Polanski was 63k members in 2015. The magnitude of the growth is groundbreaking. #greens #ukpol #scotpol #politics #uk #elections

There ain't no bonus like a #Brexit bonus: 'Nissan is warning that it may have to shut down its massive car plant in Sunderland if #BrexitBritain is not included in the “Made in Europe” manufacturing targets set out by Brussels.' https://open.substack.com/pub/jonty/p/made-in-europe?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #Brexit #BrexitBritain #BrexitBrokeBritain #BrexitLies #UK #Politics #UKPolitics #UKPol #EU #RejoinEU #NorthHerts #Hitchin #Letchworth #Baldock #Royston

"British governments have made choices that mean poorer children get old sooner and die earlier than richer children. The fact our healthy lives are now getting shorter is also a political choice. Much of the choosing was done by George Osborne and David Cameron, by Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander, who imposed year after year of spending cuts." "This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet?" #UKpol #health #inequality https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/06/uk-death-healthy-life-expectancy-decline-state?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Ending online harms isn't a game of whack-a-mole. The only way is to bust the business model that rewards harmful results. Nothing changes until we break the spell that keeps us on platforms; the harvesting of our data to maximise engagement and fuel advertising. We need to get off the regulatory treadmill and #BreakBigTech.

Just begun re-watching the filum 'VICE'... Such a strong sense of deja-vu. For Donald J Trump read George W Bush. For Dick Cneney read Steven 'Noseferatu' Miller. For Iraq, oil and alleged WMD, read Iran, oil and, er, alleged WMD. Why do we never learn from past evil blunders? #USpol #UKpol #Trump #GOP #MAGA #TyrantTrump #WarMongerInChief #NoKings

🚨 ID checks to get online could become the new norm 🚨 A new amendment would give the UK government sweeping powers to block access to lawful information and communications. That's unless we submit our identification to a bounty of providers. Tell your MP to stop this broad and repressive law ⬇️ https://action.openrightsgroup.org/no-id-checks-web-access #privacy #freedomofexpression #ageverification #digitalID #onlinesafety #ukpolitics #ukpol

Kemi Badenoch is a fucking ghoul. If she was that interested in war, we would (and should) have had boots on the ground in Ukraine in 2022. #ukpol #sorry

Ukraine Invasion in 5th Year: meaning for #BrexitBritain, Europe, and future of US relations. Sir Laurie Bristow responds to questions about Russian influence on UK politics, the effect of Ukrainian deep strikes into Russia and the way in which Putin's strategy has backfired 👇 https://youtu.be/Dh8_1UG99uE #Brexit #BrexitBritain #BrexitBrokeBritain #BrexitLies #UK #Politics #UKPolitics #UKPol #EU #RejoinEU #NorthHerts #Hitchin #Letchworth #Baldock #Royston

Morning, all, guessing the regime in Washington DC is too busy "obliterating" (once again) Iran's nuclear programme to spend any time releasing the majority of #EpsteinFiles, including those allegations that the felon and adjudged rapist Donald Trump is not only a #PedoProtector but also a paedophile... Wowed by awesome US military power? Imagine if Desperate Don unleashed it against Denmark. Or Keir "Not Churchill" Starmer's UK #UKpol #USpol #GOP #MAGA #TyrantTrump https://youtu.be/FJjHdMvzXzo?si=uRUSZek98Yg1fl7J

Grabbed a photo of the cover of the sole mail on sunday before turning it over and putting it behind something else. TBF be may have a point, because if you are a racist party then you alienate a diverse population. Don't think anyone in our household voted for him Note how the Israel and US attacks on Iran get relegated #ukpol

So for the ppl not paying attn... The Republicans, a terrorist organization by most definitions, led by a felonious failed businessman and alleged child rapist with ties to neo-Nazis and convicted sex offenders, has allied with both a government widely believed to be perpetrating genocide to further a religious agenda and the Labour party, a supposed "liberal" political party best known recently for failing to do anything it promised to protect ppl, to attack an oppressive regime after not really caring for decades BC stuff and things. This comes during a time when all three leaders of the aggressors' groups are under intense scrutiny for thier failings, from accused pedophilia to genocide to stripping disabled ppl of the benefits they rely on to survive. I'm tired of this blatant trash. #politics #uspol #ukpol #genocide

#UkPol #UnpopularOpinion For years, some of us said the key to long term political change was to elect a centrist, then force them to move left. Yesterday's by-election seems very much according to plan. Reform managed a measly 30% with a 50% turnout. That puts the racists on about 15% of the population. Sounds about normal to me. If I were Starmer, I'd be breathing a sigh of relief. I know I am.

To the Right Wing, just speaking with Muslim voters is seen as some kind of seditious behaviour #GortonAndDenton #UKPol #Ukpolitics #Islamophobia

#GortonAndDenton has fried the tiny minds of the British political establishment. A woman plumber with wild hair and dayglo clothes, standing for an eco-left party led by a gay jew, won massively with thousands of Muslim votes. The politics of division failed. ❤️💚 #ukpol #Manchester
